thanks.
one question. when I take a clip from the trimmer and set the velocity envelope it will play backwards from the starting point of the clip rather than reverse the clip I cut from the trimmer. am I missing something or do I just need to compensate when I cut from the trimmer?
When reversing, START AT THE END. So, in the trimmer, put the IN point at the END of the clip (i.e. the beginning of the reverse) and the OUT point at any point to the right. Add the clip to the timeline and then reverse it.
