Hi thanks I'll try that later on when I have a chance and let you know how it goes! Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Søren Jensen" <s...@coolfortheblind.dk> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 9:33 AM Subject: Re: Simple editing in Amadeus Pro
Hi Gene. First of all, I recommend you to do the following: 1: Open up the preferences by pressing command comma. 2: Choose the general tab 3: Move the VO-cursor to the left for some weird reason, and find the playback settings. Set the "If selection is empty" to "Play from insertion point." If you change this setting, your playhead will always follow your insertion point if you moves your insertion ppoint by pressing the left or right arrow keys. If you wanna select a part of your audiofile, you can do the following: 1: Press the spacebar to start the playback. 2: Press the spacebar again to pause the playback when you have found the place where you wanna start your selection. 3: Now, you can choose to select in 3 different ways: 1: If you wanna select a few seconds, you can simply hold down the shift key, and then select by pressing the right arrow key. Please note that the audio has to be stopped or paused to be able to select anything. You can always press the spacebar to hear how much you have selected. 2: You can place a marker at the playheads perfsition by pressing the p-key 3: Or you can press command y to move the insertion point to the playhead, and then press m to place a marker. If you use step 2 or 3 to start your selection, you have to find the perfsition in the audiofile where you wanna end your selection. So start the playback again by pressing the spacebar, pause when you wanna end your selection and re-peed either step 2 or 3 to place a second marker. Now you have placed two markers, so now you have to select the audio between these two markers you've placed. You can do that by pressing command left arrow if you have focussed on the last marker you've placed, or command right arrow, if you've focussed on the first marker you've placed. You can move between the markers by pressing option left and right arrow. When you have made a selection, you can then move the left edge of your selection to the left or right by pressing a or s, or you can move the right edge of the selection by pressing d or f. You can also press e to hear what it sounds like if you delete the selected audio. If you wanna enable the loop playback, you can do it in the following way: 1: Find the "Loop playback" with the VO-cursor, and check the checkbox by pressing VO spacebar. 2: Move back to the scroll-area, press VO command f5 to move the mouse to the VO-cursor and press VO shift spacebar to gain focus on the scroll area again. I hope it explains how it works.
