Feature Request -- transparent take names in events

jlafferty wrote on 5/11/2005, 8:20 AM
I'm editing a series of interviews, and my workflow is essentially marking regions for each of the four questions in the trimmer, e.g. "What is your name?," then dragging these regions to the timeline and cutting them together. Only, since I'm cutting things closely, I have to see the waveforms to know where speaking begins -- it'd be great if I could simultaneously see the active take name and the waveform -- perhaps make it an option to have the active take names set to a 50% opacity...

Can you do your close cutting in the trimmer before placing the event on the timeline? The active take name lable isn't shown in the trimmer window.

Alternatively, if you stretch the audio track taller then the label covers less of it. As an added bonus, it's easier to see quieter waveforms when the display is taller.

I like that transparency idea... good thinking! Submit it as a feature request under "support"
