VP17: Trimmer: Type "R": Region not on MAIN T/L?

Grazie wrote on 8/14/2019, 12:40 AM

User Expectation: In Trimmer make a Selection and press "R" and get a Named Region on MAIN Timeline with IN and OUT Region markers.

User Experience: In Trimmer press R results in a partial Region and unamed on MAIN Timeline:

However Press the Button for "Insert Region" and I get the correct outcome, a Named Trimmer Region.

Please confirm or deny what I get.

TIA - G

It works as expected here.

Did you try a different media other than in a MOV container (just to be sure)?

@Marco. Thanks Marco. What Media did you Test it on?

On a PNG grafic file, a MP4 H.264, MXF X-AVC and MTS AVCHD.

@Marco.

Why were you able to quickly jump on the MOV as being the culprit?

"Why were you able to quickly jump on the MOV as being the culprit?"

Because that's what your screenshot shows. It's just a guess.

@Marco. So, after seeing MOV in my SG it was your guess, huh? What would I need to do to make MOV compliant?

Marco. wrote on 8/14/2019, 3:51 AM

I don't know. I just tried a MOV file on my own now and this one works fine.

Did you enable Quicktime support in Options/Preferences/Deprecated Features?

@Marco. Why? Had you? (We’re gradually getting there 😉)

Marco. wrote on 8/14/2019, 4:15 AM

Yes, I have.

Grazie wrote on 8/14/2019, 4:16 AM

Thank you.

Marco. wrote on 8/14/2019, 6:49 AM

So it is solved for you with Quicktime support enabled?

Tagged as solution (by him?).

@Marco. - Not unnaturally, I had to restart VP17.

@Grazie Apologies to the honourable member of long standing on these forums for the unfortunate choice of the word "him" in that comment. I need to cut down on watching newsflashes of the sessions in the UK Parliament and remember to refer to you by your moniker 🙂.

@vkmast - We have a Parliament? I didn't know - seeesshh. "ORDER....ORDER...order . . . ". Actually @vkmast I could quite easily warm to "Him", gives me some sense of Omnipotence - hmmm... yeah, carry on VK!
