Submitting a request - Selecting multiple clips

PeterH wrote on 11/1/2021, 5:03 AM

Where would be the best place to submit a request for Vegas 19?

My request is that when selecting a bunch of clips I always have to select the "editing tool" and then click on "selection".

My audio DAW has a feature when you want to select a bunch of clips all you have to do is hold down the right mouse button and drag around the clips that you want to select. This save a massive amount of time and effort.

It saves a huge amount of time when editing audio so I should think that the same applies to video.

This is already possible in Vegas Pro. Once you've selected the video and/or audio events, hit keyboard 'g' which groups them all together as a 'group'.. Any move on the timeline made to any event within the group will result in the entire group being moved. If you want to ungroup, highlight the events and hit keyboard 'u'.

I also find the selection tool very practical:

You can also select everything behind the cursor:

Or search the net for scripts that solve special tasks, use Vegasaur or other tools.....

It was there at the time when I wrote my comment, but I suspect that the reason that the thread has disappeared is maybe that Vegas Pro 19 is here for the long term with ongoing incremental feature updates and without the yearly version upgrades - so maybe there won't be a Vegas Pro 20. A bit like MS announced would happen with Windows 10. BTW, over the last hour, I've upgraded this laptop to Windows 11 (is there an ironic emoticon?)

Yes, but that's not quite the same. It's the actual Selecting of all the tracks which is cumbersome. I don't want to have to click any extra "tools" or icons. A simple right click saves time and effort.

Ctrl+Left Click is the Windows convention for what you want to do (or at least close). Right-click brings up the Context Menu, also a Windows convention.

I do realise that. I said "right click and drag" in my original post. That hopefully would be an easy feature to add.

there was a new thread for Vegas 20 just today, but it disappeared again.

Sorry I'm guilty. I wondered if anyone would notice. I hid my thread as on reflection I wondered if it was appropriate. That's because I recall comment that there is possibly a change to how Vegas progresses so there may not be a '20' just 19 latest version. Rather like Windows was going to stop at 10, or least that's what I understood. But now we have Win 11! So I'm getting confused in my senior years.

Perhaps the Vegas feature requests thread should just be 'Vegas' without a number. But how do we control it getting long and unmanageable

Any comments would be appreciated.

@EricLNZ  ... The existing Vegas Pro 19 Feature Requests thread is now quite bloated, especially given that it started out as feature requests for Vegas Pro 18. IMO, that thread has had its days. Yes, I think that it would be very useful to start a new thread for focused feature requests for Vegas Pro as you posted the other day with all good intentions, but the likelihood of there being a Vegas Pro 20 is not likely at this time. So maybe its just the name of the thread which needs to be considered. Perhaps to limit the thread becoming a never-ending thread, maybe name it something like "Vegas Pro Feature Requests for 2022" and then create a new thread for each following year - or until Vegas Pro 20 is released 🙂🙂🙂.

@EricLNZ Your work is very much appreciated, so please do not speak of "guilty".

Perhaps the Vegas feature requests thread should just be 'Vegas' without a number. But how do we control it getting long and unmanageable

Any comments would be appreciated.

In order to have an overview of which requests have already been fulfilled and which have not, I can only imagine a document similar to the one @NickHope maintains.
https://www-vegascreativesoftware-info.translate.goog/us/forum/known-issues-in-the-latest-version-of-vegas-pro--108942/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=de&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=nui

But that is work that someone would have to do.
Perhaps, for a start, the person who has expressed the most requests in it (I have not counted the suggestions) would like to take it on? (voluntarily, of course)
I know that my suggestion could possibly be seen as counterproductive, but this person should also have the greatest interest in realising the requests - and that is how the improvement system in our company worked very well.

Edit: @Dexcon was quicker - I also think his suggestion is very good - the disadvantage is that we never know what has already been implemented!

@walter-i.  Yes, a valid point that I recall that EricLNZ also pointed out in that now hidden post. But I'm not sure that that is a problem for us on the forum. I think that tracking the suggestions requires a process within Vegas Creative Software. For example, MS's Flight Simulator 2020 has on one of its webpages a spreadsheet with a list of suggestions and errors needing a fix, and MS provides the status relating to those issues, something like: "fixed", "under investigation" and "pending". Not that Vegas needs to publish online such a spreadsheet, but it should use something like that internally to keep track of the feature requests and bug fix requests - which I wouldn't be at all surprised that they already do.

@Dexcon
I am even very sure that Vegas uses such an internal list.
Not every request will be pursued with the same vehemence - there are many interests to be covered.
I think it is good and important that not only the developers and managers "stew in their own juice", but - as is clear from the constant communication - user requests and ideas are very often taken into account.
Always provided - within the framework of the business possibilities and objectives.
