More post production functionality

Post by HWS_BASIC » Thu May 28, 2009 11:28 am

I love Ableton for it's processing capabilities, and use it a lot for sound design work.
However, it lacks functionality like ProTools/Vegas/Reaper have to make it a truly useful application for post production/sound design.

Currently, I have to use Reaper for layering and generic edits because it's so much faster and more customasible. Every now and then I do a bit of processing in Ableton, but I would love it if Ableton just got a lot of the functionality that Reaper has.

Here's a few things that are lacking:

- customisable shortcuts
- advanced snapping (snap clips without a grid - i.e., snap a clip to another clip on a different track)
- shortcuts for selecting next/previous clip
- automatically stop playback based on time selection
- flexible zoom in/out functionality

There's a lot of other things, but this would be a good start.

Offset 1st bar to timecode.

This would allow composing to terrestrial UK TV spec, which requires 12 frames of mute picture at the head (and tail).
