Re: Editing scenario

[tony west] "It's a good question, because auditions works fine for this very purpose.

I have not really counted, but it seems like auditions is more key strokes than the way I do it.

When I stack graphics it's fast to toggle back in forth this way.

It's ONE key V V V V back and forth

One of the things I like most about apple products is there are often many ways to do the same thing.

Let's say I have 3 employees stacked up.

They pick employee #2

Employees 1 and 3 are still sitting there in the timeline and I can just grab one of them and drag it further down in the timeline to replace another shot.

I like having them sitting there. It just seems faster to me."

This is one of the things I have being doing in FCP Legacy for years - CtrlB (or whatever else you want to map) toggles the visibility in Legacy (and Ctrl S toggles Solo) just as V toggles the visibility in X. It's interesting that you prefer the "old way" of doing it rather than using Auditions ;-)
