OPTION is the new lasso key but as I've mentioned, it now means that the possiblity of *combining* control with option is gone. Just confirming: You can no longer get into slip/slide mode holding Control / Control-Option and lassoing? Is there no new key-combo to replace Sometimes MC1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and now horror of horrors oh no MC5 with very little that works as expected

Is this a cunning plan to make sure every facility that has more than one Avid has to upgrade them at the same time? Imagine having 10 Avids with a room full of assistant editors who may use a different workstation every shift. Now time to quit segment mode so touch the TC track? OH NO that does not work like it has for 15 years. Of course I could remember to adopt a completely new workflow and turn off overwrite from the KB before entering insert mode but I have not needed that number of keyboard strokes in 15 years.

IMO (and workflow) these changes are UNBELIEVABLY STUPID.ДЇor example select overwrite segment mode from the KB use it (smart man here has UNSMART tool turned off), now I need insert segment mode so I select it on the KB right? OOPs now both are selected at the same time and I need to hover about my (convienently height minimised track) to get the tool I just selected (if Iam lucky) NOT add a feature that increases your mouse work and in many cases remove your keyboard option or doubles your keystrokes to achieve your existing workflow. I had thought that with the 'NEW THINKING' Avid would have been smart enough to ADD new features to long established and proven workflows. And for what? To satisify some whim of a few mouse orientatated newbbies?

Nothing, except a bad taste in loyal users' mouths.В I'm sorry, but until Avid is willing to provide a more believable and realistic justificationВ for these latest changes to the fundemental workflow that we've all grown accustomed to,Having just had to flip back and forth for most of the day between MC 4 on a laptop Mac, PC MCA 4 and MC 5 I feel like I have had my face rubbed in undiluted effluent for 10 hours by this completely needless barstardisation of a perfectly good keyboard orientated UI. Sorry for ranting like this, but even as a moderator, this really pisses me off.

And what resulted from that? Nothing, except a bad taste in loyal users' mouths.В I'm sorry, but until Avid is willing to provide a more believable and realistic justificationВ for these latest changes to the fundemental workflow that we've all grown accustomed to, I'm simply NOT BUYING IT. That too, was defended as necessary because of a 'bigger picture' in mind. IMHO this whole thingВ harks back to killing the weightlifter. So we are just supposed to suck it up and deal with what most of us see to be completely arbitrary changes that make no sense to us. But of course, they can't speak to any details regarding that future. The argument Avid is making is they're focused on 'a bigger picture' of where they want to take the UI in the future. I completely agree and am personally distressed with this and other changes being made, especially as it pertains to customizing the interface layout.

I would say accomodating the small number of editors who bounce from PC to Mac and vice versa pales next to the large number of Mac editors who have had the rug pulled out on them with these fundamental keystroke changes 15 years later.

That being said I applaud the conformity to normal shift- and command-key behaviour for selecting items in bins.

I sincerely and humbly beseech the engineers to restore the control-key as the lasso key or to install a setting which allows us to toggle it. The restrict to vertical movment has a new key combo, which works but on Mac for some reason it always causes the system to give an error beep when you use it. When it was control this worked, for adding or removing mutliple transitions/effects at once.ДЈ. lassoing clips or transitions when you are in effect mode is also now broken, since the option-key does not prevent the cursor from functioning as a segment-style selector in that case. the flexibility of being able to directly lasso a slip (control-lasso right to left) or slide (option-control lasso right to left) from source/record mode is now gone, since the possiblity of combining control and option is gone.Дў. I was just about to start a thread about this too, cause I've been on MC5 for a week and I'm convinced the move to the option-key for lassoing is a mistake. (And control-key restricting-to-vertical moves in segment mode, Been control-key lassoing in the timeline (Mac) for well over a decade
