Subject:List of Major Needs Posted by: KPoling Date:11/29/2007 8:11:13 PM Well the Forum Administrator asked for a list of major needs: Number One - RETURN THE CLASSIC CROSSFADE BEHAVIOR! Number Two - RETURN THE CLASSIC VOICEOVER MIX BEHAVIOR - the current option in the Mix Dialogue has a bug that doesn't prefade for a voiceover. It fades simlutanaeously with the start of the clipboard audio. That is just silly. The work around is to add some space at the beginning of the clipboard audio but why should I have to? Number Three - A switch to de-activate the need to drag upward first to pull a selection. The classic behavior was great the way it was. I've got more - but maybe someone else wants to add....
Subject:RE: List of Major Needs Reply by: tomaras Date:12/7/2007 1:37:38 PM SMPTE Timecode support of BWF files. Import of BWF with SMPTE Timecode. (Vegas can do it?) Render/Export to BWF with SMPTE Timecode. (Do this on Vegas too please)
Subject:RE: List of Major Needs Reply by: rraud Date:12/7/2007 5:52:21 PM In addition to bringing back the formally fuctions that actually worked good. Yes, full BWF support in SF. Vegas can import and place a BWF in the timeline but cannot render a BWF. I had contact with SCS about this a while ago, and thought they were going to support BWF export, but I guess it didn't happen. (Tried the V8 demo and didn't bother upgrading, bought Sonar instead.) B'cast wave files are used by video editors all the time, so it's not an audio only issue. It seems any audio issue and audio customers are not important to SCS.

It would be wonderfully useful if one could import and open a BWF files with timecode and NOT have it placed on a timeline longer than the length of the file. In other words, I'd like to be able to open a file and have it start at whatever it's starting timecode is instead of having a timeline which begins at 00:00:00 and contains miles of blank information to get to the audio which may not begin until much later. If the file starts at 12:22:57:00, why should I have to see and delete 12 hours of blank space before I get to my audio. This is the maddening way that it works now in Vegas and while I can see why the majority of the time one might want the file placed on an extended time line, for audio processing of a file that's going to be passed on to another post house or video editor it would be nice to have a BWF edit mode or something similar. Hope I'm making sense!
