New feature! Source tape in edit page source timeline view
Posted: Mon May 05, 2025 5:08 pmBeta 3 added this cool new feature where it creates a temporary minimal timeline from the source tape bin
Could be very useful and obviate the need for creating separate "stringout" timelines.
Quick notes:
- Crashes, a LOT. Mostly while interacting with media pool while in this mode.
- Seems to create a temporary timeline from the media pool, but you can place markers that will be saved with the media pool clips so they will be there when you come back. Flags work too.
- Clip colours are not saved. This would be VERY helpful if applied to media pool items as per markers.
- A little bit awkward when working with Speed Editor as you have to press "Source" button to get the source tape from bin loaded, then use a keyboard shortcut (or mouse) to force "source timeline" display on.
Personally, I think this feature is a great idea!
