Taming VoiceOver's dodgy mouse tracking and changing playlists on multiple tracks
Hi all, Working in PT 10 on a different Mac today, and I've come up against something strange. VO+CMD+F5 which usually does a fairly consistent job of moving the mouse pointer onto things appears to be playing all sorts of silly buggers, so a lot of my usual workflows involving clicking with modifiers aren't working. Does anybody have tips on things I should try to get more consistent mouse placement? Also, any tips on applying things to multiple tracks, in particular changing playlists? Thanks in advance for any help.Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Taming VoiceOver's dodgy mouse tracking and changing playlists on multiple tracks
Hi Scott, What mac OS? If your talking about the tracks table make sure to resize it 30% to the right in the mix window if your working in there. You need sighted assistance to do this at least in my snow leopard with pt 9.03. Also hitting page up occasionally clears things up, along with closing the window and reopening it. As for the applying things to multiple tracks just make an edit / mix group and make sure the group is selected and go for it.:) While in the groups dialogue czech out all the options that attributes has to offer. especially the insert controls. Just make an item chooser list and go shopping! :) Talk soon YMMV Chuck CHUCK REICHEL soundpicturerecord...@gmail.com www.SoundPictureRecording.com 954-742-0019 Isaiah 26 : 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Re: Taming VoiceOver's dodgy mouse tracking and changing playlists on multiple tracks
Fair point Chuck, totally forgot to mention which version of Mac OS. This machine is running Lion. Seem to have cleared things up a tad by closing/reopening the troublesome windows and showing less tracks at a time, but there's still something funky going on with mouse tracking in the edit window. Managed to get everything done anyway, just a little slower than I would've liked. Cheers Scott On 4/18/14, CHUCK REICHEL soundpicturerecord...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Scott, What mac OS?

Re: Taming VoiceOver's dodgy mouse tracking and changing playlists on multiple tracks
Ah, another good point. Cheers Slau, if I get a chance to show a whole bunch of stuff and troubleshoot before I have to leave today I'll see if that would've helped. Always good to know this stuff for next time, I don't think this particular place will be moving on from Lion any time soon.

Sometimes VoiceOver reads things that are absolutely hidden from view to sighted users. In a way, this can be helpful but it sometimes works against you. Aside from that, it's been a long time since I used Lion so I can't offer anything other than what's been said.
