Re: Dragging clips to timeline

And, by the way, the steps you outlined are exactly right. Keep in mind that 
the process can work intermittently because Keyboard Maestro performs the click 
and drag at the computer's fastest speed and it sometimes does it faster than 
Pro Tools can register so you need to sometimes issue the command a few times. 
Sometimes it works the very first try. Remember, the drag will put the clip 
right where the insertion is and it's helpful (and possibly even necessary for 
the insertion cursor to be visible in the window. That's where the scrolling of 
the page comes in handy. Be aware also that Pro Tools seems to default to no 
scrolling unless perhaps a template remembers that kind of thing. I somehow 
doubt that's the case however.

Hi Peter,

You can certainly drag to wherever the insertion cursor is in the timeline. 
Make sure you have Edit window scrolling set to something like page or 
continuous. Move the insertion cursor to the desired location and just engage 
the transport for a second and stop. Perform the steps for dragging and the 
clip will end up exactly where the insertion resides.
HTH,
Slau

Dragging clips to timeline

[Peter Bosher]

Hi All,


When using FloTools to drag clips from the clip-list onto the timeline, 
is it possible to spot them to the selection cursor time, or do they 
always go to the beginning of the track?


I'm working on a project where I have to bring in lots of pre-recorded 
clips on different tracks at different times, and I'd so much like to 
nail this process, because it is still hit and miss for me.  So, if you 
have patience, please could you check my procedure below?


I find the clip I need in the clip-list with the VO cursor, press 
command-option-shift comma, then stop interacting, find the track where 
I want the clip to go, (not in the tracklist table but in the edit 
window), then press command-option-shift period.  Am I missing 
anything?  Sometimes it works, but sometimes it will say 'dragging 
failed'.  and it always goes to time zero.   Any pointers on exact 
details, especially spotting to the selection time, very much appreciated.


Best,

Peter
