Ideas to Improve Sound Library

PostSat Jun 16, 2018 8:30 pm

1. Include AIF files!!! :D

2. Allow navigation via keyboard shortcuts. Up and Down arrow to navigate between sound files.

3. Allow navigation via Middle Mouse click. Same way you can "pan" the timeline with Middle Mouse drag, allow this for "panning" the Sound Library up and down. ***In fact allow every window in Resolve to be able to be panned in this way.

4. Include an "Auto Play" toggle, so that when skipping from file to file (with the Up and Down arrows!!! ;) ) It will automatically play each file without having to hit spacebar or play each time. Obviously this should be a toggle so it can be deactivated when you don't want this behavior.

5. Ability to add "cue markers" or "sync markers". Basically the ability to add a marker, say on the transient of a Boom sound, so that when you drag it into the timeline it will automatically snap to that marker. Obviously you can already do this via the Source Monitor, but the idea would be so you could drag straight from the Sound Library into the Timeline if you so choose.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!!

The Sync Point button has been provided for this purpose.

The Sync Point button has been available in the Sound Library since beta 1.

Hmm. I'm on Mac, perhaps that's it? It's definitely not here for me.

Switch to the Fairlight page's Sound Library for the additional controls.

Not a user of the Edit page, so haven’t noticed the lack of Sync Point button within the Edit page’s Sound Library.

Ah yep, there it is.

Okay, then NEW idea to Improve Sound Library.

***Functionality should be the same on Edit Page and Fairlight Page.

Also, there needs to be an easy way to select a Sound from the Sound Library and have it imported into a selected bin in the media pool.

Select the target Bin prior to spotting a source file to the Timeline.
