In a further attempt to finally ween myself off of our SONY "Text", yesterday I had a bit of a Road to Damascus revelation/experience, smartly followed by some need for me to manage my expectations of a new interface wants, wishes and, well, irritations.
Firstly - I truly appreciate that I can now place/make changes without the need to make changes to all those k/f diamonds I had to do with the older system. PLUS the letter/word navigation improvements. Madison have listened - thanks!
Secondly - major gripe! I want to have syncing with the timeline. I know we have asked for this and it must be a real PITA to achieve. But now to have such an advanced and developing interface as ProType - it is most surely becoming such - and not have a syncing interface, is ,IMO, weird.
Thirdly - If I want to change the duration of the PT Event I need to type in the numbers into the "Length" adjust window. My way of thinking would be to create a NEW Loop region/selection, go to the "Selection Length" window - bottom right corner, do a double-click copy>paste into the PT "Length" window - DONE! - And yes, I do know this was ALSO the case with the old Text GenMed, but really . . . ? - And you know what? I CAN do the opposite of this. I can Copy a Length FROM TEXT or PT and Paste that into the Looping/Selection window!! - Just checked it again, I have to zoom in and out, but it IS carried over.
4th-ly. I'd like the PATH tool to indicate just WHERE my text has zoooomed off to - at least an indication as to which direction I should be exploring. Yesterday I gave myself a whole heap of trouble trying to "tame" my more creative excesses, just to get-back/lasso/retrieve some errant text that had whizzed off to "Planet No-Text" in the constellation "NoWord".
But yes, I love it. I can see there is a whole heap of options coming our way.
Grazie
