Gaps

This must have been touched on but for the life of me how do you insert a gap somewhere other than the primary storyline please?

Except if you use the position tool and physically drag a gap appears...I guess we could end up with a massive array of shortcuts because of different layers having different status

In a secondary storyline, can't you just use the position tool in combination with the plus and minus keys? For instance if you want to add a 5 second gap, select the clip and hit PLUS 5:00.

Could it not be in the right/control click drop menu when you select the storyline?...that's how Smoke works - the right click drop down menu changes depending on where the cursor is. Clever and simple.

Park playhead - then select the secondary storyline and control click "insert gap" would be cool and would save them having to add even more shortcuts or edit functions,

I hear you...yes that's a much simpler solution.

Having come back to this software only since 10.05 ( I gave up on version 1) I do occasionally wonder how they came to not incorporate some of this stuff. I suppose it's like versions 1 thru 5 - kind of a journey for all of us... developers and users alike.

I must say that I struggled to start with to get my head round this workflow but I'm beginning to enjoy it but I can't quite put my finger on why.

I would really like to be able to scroll in the viewer/canvas window though. - I don't even know what it's called in the new parlance!
