[Jeremy Garchow] "I don't want my marked favorites deleted. So this in and out would need to not compete with favorites. Right now, they are related."

Only if you hit the F-key. I'm just suggesting that the specified range can be made sticky. It's not the same as saving it.

[Jeremy Garchow] "Can you please explain to me this razor thin subtlety or marking in and out vs marking a range? The end result is the same?"

It's a different editorial emphasis and intent. If I'm selecting a range, my focus is on the range of content. I may want to stash it and favorites/keywords are a great tool for that.

When I mark in/out, I'm thinking primarily of the cut -- the transition points. I'm thinking cut, play thru, cut, but I really don't care about the stuff in the middle. Yes it is subtle. It took years of practice but when I noticed I was thinking this way, I also noticed my editing had jumped to whole different level, vastly better than before.

[Jeremy Garchow] "I don't know what you mean by this...."

From Larry's latest blog post:
"I asked when Apple would support retaining In and Out (Start / End) markers in clips in the Event Browser. They refused to comment, but stressed that while these were the four features they were announcing, these four would not be the only features released. Retaining Ins and Outs on clips is SO useful, I will continue to bang the drum for Apple to add these."
By your reasoning, since Larry hasn't fully embraced your suggested workarounds, it must mean that he hasn't spent time to properly learn the tool and is stuck in old ways of thinking. I don't think you really believe this. Why do you think he finds it SO useful?
