DP 8 new editing features?

martian · Post by **martian** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 8:45 pm

never being one to upgrade in a hurry - but jumped onto the last of the quad core mac mini's has taken me to 10.8.5 and DP 7.24

have been splitting my time with Protools on some movie stuff - but for episodic Post - DP on the new mac has some advantages for me..

but a couple of edit function I miss - wondering if these are addressed in DP 8 ?

I thought I read there were some new 'wiper' functions in DP8?

as in moving or pasting things to wiper? - ( in DP 7 u can paste to wiper as long as no selection in time line - ie you have to copy item - then apple D for desalt - then paste will past at wiper...

what are the update editing functions for moving / snapping audio

also regarding quickkeys? I tried to program a mouse click so I could move scroll wheel on mouse to either move a clip on the time line - or change clip gain

unfortunately seems like the 'input box' moves according to the name of the clip

so its manually moving the pointer over.. shame

The wiper thing is, IIRC, the MIDI Graphic Edit Window. It used to be hard to paste something where you wanted it to go. Now it's easy. It's not a new feature, just full functionality restored to an old one.

WTH? when did DP get a demo?

does that mean the PDF help files in there?

I might try installing on my laptop or my old mac pro first - was soo pleased how easy the transition from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 went - I know I could have gone further - but I just wanted to work!

looks like the videos focus on the bling new features ? - having said that a de-esser would be awesome!

looking thru the blurb - cant see mention of the paste / move to wiper...

not sure when I will have time to download tho.. so little free time - dont want to mess a working system up - and plugging in the old mac isnt so easy either...

will DP 8 and 7 play nice together if I risk it ( i will clone system drive first maybe? )

All of your questions have been asked and answered and asked and answered and asked... in older threads current wih the release of 8 and in the first year after. Please use Advanced Search to find them.

I apologise in advance for all of us who don't want to rewrite any of that. Again...

mike - if u are unable to help - then pls dont waste your valuable time on admonishments.

and thanks for the portrait MLC - u look exactly how I imagined you did

edit - its actually incredibly intuitive of u - actually that face is exactly my problem! actually its 2 of them.. had twins las year - so life is soooo much busier than before - hence not so much time for reading long threads, lack of sleep etc etc as well as a desire to read stories to my kids - walk in the park etc..

I will try this advanced search you speak of - perhaps if some one has experience or workflows to share on this topic it would be nice,

thanks

Happy to help, but the questions were also answered in the other thread about DP manuals where you asked them yesterday.

.mike - if u are unable to help - then pls dont waste your valuable time on admonishments.

I told you that there were many threads that answered all your questions and how to find them.

That's the most helpful advice you've gotten. Apparently you'd rather complain than follow my advice. I can't help you.

It's getting a bit heavy here at the Simon Cowell school of public relations. He was just thinking out loud, and repeating himself.
