Chuck, Did I read somewhere that there is now a way of giving a globel command? I am changing the soundtrack on a video to another language. So, I am now using the English track as a guide. I left the sound turned on, on all of the clips. The Spanish track is on an audio clip. Is there some way, when I am finished editing, that I can give a single command to have the sound go off on all of the video clips? Or is there someway of just clicking on the surface of each crouton and give a key command to turn off the sound without having to open each one in control? I'm going to end up with about 50 or 60 croutons, all from the same video clip. Fred

No, there is no such global command at this time, it is a suggestion on the feature request list, and one that might be implemented via an ARexx script. Chuck.

Chuck, It IS there. Select ALL. Do an ALT-A and the audio on only the video clips turns off. Do is again and they all turn on. Just what I needed. I can see a need for something that will adjust all of the volumns in the same way. I had to raise the level of a narration after finishing everything. If you can't do that right away, maybe a keystroke to open up the volumn requester like there is with the time code. And a way of copying and placing the same value in that area like we can now do with time code. Fred

Fred: there is also "alt-l" which turns on all the Locks for all selected clips. As for the volume thing, in the Arexx/editor Dir, there is a script called "AbsProjectVolume.Rexx" it will take all the clips in you project, Ask you what volume to set to, and cahnge them all! Hope that helps. 8) Brad Hayes Hayes Visual Communication

Fred, I can see I need to quit spending all day and night online and start putting in some quality time with my Flyer system, now that I actually have one again, after all this time. Chuck.

Chuck, How about a list of all the new keyboard commands taht we could download? There seems to be a bit of confusion over a lot of these…

I will request a file on the keyboard commands from Docs and Test. Chuck.

Fred, Several questions that you have asked lately are all answered in the read me file on Disk one of the 4.06 set. Are you missing this? Regards, Gary

Gary, I've got it. I just need to read it through more than once to check out the commands. The Arexx onces dealing with speed and reverse, gave me a bit of a problem, but I got it to work. I am now at the point of trying to turn out a video a day. Talk about burn out. Fred

Fred, According to the ReadMe file, page 7, you can activate and deactivate audio for the selected crouton(s) by doing Alt/a. This will toggle on/off the audio playback on the selected croutons. You can tell which one have audio on by the speaker graphic in the upper right hand corner of the crouton. Hank Videology, Inc Where you always get P.O.M.P. and Service under all circumstances

Hank, ALT-A. Yep, found it right after I wrote the message. This morning I actually pressed the help button and noticed that it along with other keyboard controls are there. I need a day just to play around with these new features. No rest for the wicked. BTW, next spring the conference that I am taping next week will be in Boston. Will plan on stopping by your place. We've got six months to plan it. Fred

Fred, As I'm not too found of New England winters anyway, I hope the time flies by. I may be down your way before then, so I'll give you a shout. Hank Videology, Inc Where you always get P.O.M.P. and Service under all circumstances
