I was told that the source media size did not matter and that it was just the quantity of compound clips within a project, that should be restricted. 35 compound clips added to a project from event br

Moving a marker?

Is there no way to force a marker to a new location To change it's location beyond nudging Thanks.
Re: Moving a marker?
by Jeremy Garchow 11 months ago
It's kind of weird. You can right click and "cut marker". Then you can position the playhead and hit paste (command-v). There's no kb shortcut for cut marker. Jeremy

Re: Smoothing of Keyframe curves?
by Jim Waterwash 1 year ago
Thanks, I guess I was hoping for something that used a bit more intelligence and would round the points on the curve, so if one keyframe was too off, the keyframe values themselves would be altered. I
