Well I don't even have V8 yet, waiting to do a serious hardware upgrade and for a box to wing its way over the Pacific.

However the only thing more baffling than the changes made to core functionality has been the justification given for them. Well so far I've seen no justification at all for the changes in Vegas, I'm therefore assuming it's for the same reason things were changed in SF, "We found users were confused". Just which users is never revealed, clearly not the ones who've been using the product for a long period of time.

From the behaviour described I feel this change would seriously hamper my way of working and I cannot see how it helps anyone.

Hmmm... but I WOULD like an option to switch this on and off. I still want to have the option to try new ways of doing my work. You must have really enjoyed doing that in bold type? Hey ho . . I've learnt so much from you Bob.

Thank you.

"You must have really enjoyed doing that in bold type? "

No, not at all. At some recent point in time it seemed to have become the norm to do this when replying, I assumed the concept was so everyone knew precisely what was being replied to. Personally I thought it an odd use of bold type but I've just been going with the flow here.

But I think you're seeing it the same way as I see it, the use of bold type is to emphasis a point (not my intention here at all), if so I'm actually with you, maybe we should all desist or agree on one one meaning for bold and italics?

I think I was the one that may have started this bold quoting business. I usually put quotes around it, too. Maybe it would be better to do the quoted text in italics bracketed with quote marks. I'm open to suggestions...

John,
my only suggestion is, I don't think it matters what the standard is as much as we all know what it is. Perhaps the simplest thing is we all delegate it to one person to write up a set of posting standards and then it'd be really helpfull if it could be made a sticky.
I'd have no problem making that person you either.

Bob.

I know of no way to turn it off (and I also don't like it). However, there *IS* a way to prevent it. When you open your project/start a new project, just modify the zoom level slightly before adding the new media to the timeline. It's a pain that you have to go through that extra step, though.

Perhaps I should write a script that resets the zoom level! :-)
(It IS now possible for a script to change the zoom level)

Thanks Edward, but they should make a way to turn it off.
