Folding Scenes

Post by Diek » Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:04 pm

It's probably asked before, but I would like the ability to fold scenes into a group, and the same about tracks.

I find specially interesting the scenes folding because if you program follow actions you have to use many lines and jump over them to launch the next real scene.

I hope I've explained myself ;)

Have a good year

i've posted something like this before. when your using say 100 clips all following actions it can get crowded and you have to scroll up and down loads to find the bunch of clips your after.

one way round this is to use keyboard short cuts or trigger pads to trigger the clips you want, bit i still would like to be able to fold or minimize a bunch of clips perhaps into one clip highlighted a certain way on a track, and the same for a scene.

if i have a track with 100 clips following action on track 1, and on track 2 i have a bassline and i want to trigger them both on one scene thats fine, but if i have a different bunch of clips and a different bassline further down the page then i have to scroll all the way down to the end of the clips to find my scene, which can get in the way i find. of course, and i said, i could just assign a key to scene 1 and 2, but i do think that is would help visually and would stop you getting lost in the session view, especially if you have alot going on.

i say +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1

scene folding? no....

clip folding? yes!!! that way you can have it both ways but you don't have to fold everything in that scene, because you might not want everything folded
