I used to make a shot track clip group region and have Matchbox cut that. Now it always creates a new folder and a new clip group shot track. Is that just how it works now? Even in the older videos they have the cuts happening on a reference audio file. Am I missing something or is this just the way it works now?
That’s how it works. Make a convincing case for doing it the other way and it might get added.
I may not be using Matchbox how a lot of people are typically using it. I use it during a mix as I’m getting new picture cuts in. So I have a full mix in protools going when I’m using it. I don’t mind so much that it creates its own new shot clip track. My complaint is all the markers it generates. I don’t want them in my session. I thought there was a preference in the settings of Matchbox but I unchecked anything that seemed to create a marker and there are still markers being generated. Is there a way to at least not have markers being created in ProTools? thank you.
Ah I see. I would have thought the markers being on their own dedicated track was OK - they are separate and not cluttering the main marker ruler (unless you send them there using the extra MB commands)
And also, being on their own track you can very easily delete them.
Right. It is a good feature but I use all those lanes. I guess it would just be nice to have a preference to turn them off if that’s possible. Honestly it would just be better if ProTools had more flexibility but we all know PT needs a lot of basic improvements still.
all those lanes?
The markers are on their own track - not on the main rulers.
Right. I was getting mixed up with them being in the Memory Locations window. I have to filter them out because I use that window for other things. I figured it out. I just had to understand how it was working differently than the old version and with the new version of PT. thanks for the help.
