Check marks and visual time codes.

I have been using PD 12 for years now. The one thing I don't like about it (crashes not included), is the fact the scene dividers don't give time codes without hovering over it. It also doesn't check when I use a scene. Is this fixed in 13 or 14?

Not exactly sure what you mean by this, can you post a pic?

This is no different in PD14, no green check or any marking on discrete scene if it is used in timeline, just like PD12.

  1. Sorry I don't know the terms. When you break down a video into a few scenes (1 second, 5 seconds, 5.4 seconds...etc.) Sometimes I have 300+ scenes in a video but they are only a second long. I would like it if I could see how long each scene clip is. I can see it if I hover my mouse over it, but I wish it was as simple as a little black box on the cornor saying [1.6 sec] or [10.7 sec].

  2. It's crazy they don't put check marks by the scenes you have already used. They do it on a video itself, but the broken down scenes there is nothing.

Hi, Eric!

Getting to your second point first, Each time I pull a clip from the media library onto the timeline, a green "tick" appears on the corner of the thumbnail in the library, so, at a glance I can tell what's been used and what's yet to be used. This has been true, right back as far as PD5(from memory). In other software this may or may not be available, only experience in using other software will give you that information. As to your first remark, yes. Hovering the cursor over the clip whilst in media library will give you the running time of the clip. I do this often so I know how many frames to split off to bring the clip back to an exact number of minutes and seconds. When the clip is in the timeline and any edits made to it, hovering the mouse(cursor) over it will give you the duration, as well as start and end point after editing. So, you see, my experience is clearly different to that of your experience.

Cheers!

Neil.

What you can do in PD12 and/or PD14 is view your scenes in detail mode, this will add a column of durations if that helps. See attached pic.
