ALT key while editing

Vegas 5 used to move one frame at a time if I held the ALT key while pressing a right or left arrow key. I loved this feature. Vegas 6 doesn't do this. I have to enlarge the editing track view in order to move one frame at a time. Is there something I'm missing??

No it still works. Try using your other ALT key, and see if that works. If it does, then your first ALT key is the problem.

... just an obective thought . . .

Now try your first ALT key again, in Vegas5. If it works then it isn't the ALT key. Tricky stuff, these controlled experiments - eh?

Grazie

The right key ("AtlGr") won't work but the left one ("Alt") does it just fine. Otherwise you better check your keyboard-setup "options->preferences->keyboard".

Well, none of your suggestions worked. It stayed the same. However, I did go into the keyboard commands and assign ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT to the way they used to work. cursor.leftbyframe and right, respectively.

It was right after I posted my message that I noticed the new feature with the key assignments, and figured it wuz in there.

Anyway, problem solved, thanx guys!

edit:
You know what, I think the problem was me. Not the keys at all. It was always most likely moving frame by frame, but my cursor position view was set differently with this new version. I set it to show "time & frames" and now it shows what it used to when I move frame by frame. Kind of difficult for me to explain what I'm talking about, but the bottom line is, it wasn't a keyboard problem at all. Just a simple setting of the cursor position view! hehe. ah well....

Isn't it funny how all new programs are so stupid, and crash and just don't work right...
and then after you've been working on them for a week or two, seem to settle down, and never crash again??

Let's face it... it's never the computer :?) it's the wetware.
