Just discovered how to add marker names without fiddling about with the actual marker!
Hell, I've hated that tiny little mean flag sitting at the top of the T/L . .. .
This has come about as a result of wanting to have many, and I mean many, markers and name changes within a dance sequence. There maybe another way of doing this but suffice it to say this is getting me the results I've been wanting. . . .. . Okay, enough waffle . . . Have the clips running, 2 tracks of vid and audio; hover my finger over the M key and where there is a beat tap away on the M key - okay. I've now got something like 80 to 100 markers, all presently unnamed, not good for Excalibur, but here you go! - Access Edit Details view, Markers. There is a mass of unnamed Markers events, I've got 30 rows. Now I want to name these Marker events alternatively, to allow Excalibur to alternate between the 2 cameras. One camera is R and the other is G. I start punching in G in every other row. Once this is done, I sorted the Name column, and all the "blank" unnamed marker events come together. Now I just fill in the blanks going down until completed. Then resort the "Position" column and voila! Alternate Named Markers! - Just to check this out I went back to the T/L and they're all there! Neatly named and in their alternating positions - just ready for Excalibur to do its job - brilliant!
Now, okay this may not be the correct pro way of doing things but it is the bringing together some of the deeper functions of this software that keeps on giving me more. THIS is why I adore this package and why I'm becoming a bit of a bore about Vegas4 - but hey I'm amongst friends here - aren't I?
. . now this Edit Detail view is gonna get some hammering in the days to come . . I can see, potentially, other uses for it working in conjunction with Excalibur - oh yes!!!!
Grazie
