Those rascals... hid it in plain site. . . just to make it easier to use...
and harder to find. . . (for some of us, anyhow)...

Thanks for the tutorial... (wink)

Until that time. . .

Thanks for the chuckle :-) We've all been there.

Sometimes I feel like I'm there most of the time...Don't forget that on video events you can also add a Velocity envelope and set that to reverse anywhere from -1% to -100%.

That's great for special FX shots, I use it often.

@ Earl, you are welcome.

Reminiscent of the first time i tried programming in VisualBasic. I had spent years in Microsoft's Professional Basic developing user input subroutines. My crowning achievement was about 30 pages of code that handed a formatted, templateable text input field, complete with flashing cursor and the ability to pre-fill. It was years of tweaking and perfecting. Then this Visual stuff comes along. First program i'm writing i see that i draw a text box on the screen to create a text box. All well and good enough. Now i spend the next several days trying to figure out how to make it, well ... work. Come to find out that simply drawing the rectangle on the screen was all i had to do. All the code behind it to make it a functional text entry box was already there.

They made it so easy to use that it was almost impossible for this old guy to figure it out.

What a great story. . . thanks for sharing that...

The more I understand about all this video and audio stuff...
the more I realize I have so much more to learn. . .

(well, from time to time - it's just simply remembering...LOL)

Until that time. . .
