Bob, PMFJIH, but I have 4.03 and the Left-Amiga-M combo works just fine from the switcher screen. There is however a bug that relates to DPS's software and 4.03 Flyer software that can cause anomolies. I have found that by using an earlier version of the DPS TBC software, I can avoid most of them. I usually set switcher to the appropriate input, Left-Amiga-M out to workbench, run the tbc software, set my adjustments, then quit the tbc software (saving the settings in one of the ten preset memories first) then Left-Amiga-M back to the switcher. All tbc settings remain in effect until you run the tbc software again or reboot the Amiga. I have found that if I leave the TBC software running when you return to the switcher, there is a conflict becuase both programs are fighting for the use of the Right-Amiga key combo. Flyer wants to use it for the display names option, and TBCIV softaware wants to use it for freeze frames. I have gotten around the issue of freeze frames two ways: 1. Use the TBC remote from DPS 2. Use Tpaint to grab the appropriate frame or field from the clip I am working with in the project. Before you load the clip you want to process, just open the control panel for the clip, move the in or out point slider to the place where you want the freeze frame to occur, then either remember the number of the frame that is displayed or click your mouse into the in/out display that you want the info from. By clicking into the in/out display you "capture" the text info. Supposedly there is a way to paste that info into another field, but I don't recall the keyboard shortcut (it's in the 4.0 docs somewhere). Hope this helps Frank Hopefully Newtek and DPS will communicate with each other about this bug and get all of us back to work without so many "work arounds". BTW, what TBC are you using? Frank
