Question

Hi all,

 

Is there some sort of keyboard shortcut for "move to marker #" ? I know there are for "move to next/previous" marker, but if I have several markers and need to get to different points immediately, I don't see a way to do it via shortcut. Specifically, I want to add this shortcut to my Stream Deck so, if I'm playing back different cues on my movie set, I can do it in an instant. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    The means to play random sections of a file exists - it's called the Playlist. If you have a cue range (ie not a marker) you can transfer the ranges to the Playlist, and just hitting the play button that appears next to then in the list will play them instantly. That's fine as far as it goes, but unfortunately there appears to be no possibility of mapping each entry to a keystroke - you have to use the mouse to cue each one. But it does give you random access (and looping) for each entry. What would be good would be to have a way of assigning them to the number key pad, but the chances of this happening aren't good. At one stage the entire playlist function was removed, and only put back after many howls of protest. So really, we're quite lucky that it's there at all.
