[Jeremy Garchow] "Let's put it this way. Let's say you have multiple clips in your event and you are sorted in chiclet view, not list view. You mark a range on a clip, you skim to the next clip, you expect the range to stay on the first clip, and then stay on the second clip too? So when you hit an overwrite, which clip does X put in the timeline, both? So if I had ranges marked on all clips in my event and I hit overwrite, that means all ranged clips go in to the timeline?

Come on guys, you have to think this whole thing through. Hit f, it does exactly what you want, and more."


I't's not rocket science, Jeremy. It's UI 101.

Just look at what happens to a range on the timeline when you click in the event browser. It remains but grays out. Just do the exact same thing for clips in the event browser. Gray out ranges for all clips except the one in focus. The clip in focus is the one that get edited into the timeline. Problem solved. You're welcome.

The ones who need to think this thru are the UI geniuses at Apple.
