Re: Am I misunderstanding nesting?
by Bret Williams on May 9, 2008 at 5:02:50 am

I found they screwed it all up in 5, and screwed it up more in 6.

Here's the crap they were pulling...
It used to be so simple. If you dragged a sequence/nest from a bin into a timeline, it referenced the original nest. If you coped that nest in any way, it lost it's connection. This including making copies of the sequence for versioning.

Then at some point they made it where when you option dragged a nest to copy it, it kept it's link to the original, and when you copy pasted a nest, it lost the connection. Well, that was cool because it was quick and once you knew the rules it was very effective.

Then with 6, they took that away and went back to any type of copying losing connection whether it be option drag or copy paste.

They're pulling the same garbage with the current snapping system. I refuse to try to figure out the new methodd because they'll go back to the old way in version 7 probably. Just after I've got it programmed into my brain.

They also took away the deselect all button. For 5 years it was cmd+d. It hit that button before I did just about anything. Then they made it the simpler shift+cmd+A. Uhhhh.... what? Photoshop is cmd+d. If it's good enough for photoshop it's good enough for FCP. They didn't even replace cmd+d with anything. I map it back on every system I use.
