Suggestions

I have mentioned a couple of these thoughts before, but practical and extensive use of PTE over the past few days has reminded me of those suggestions. I am aware that ideas often get buried in the work around suggestions so I don't require any response here. I just offer them as ideas only

1. Audio Track Height. I am a graphic tablet user and already I am getting tired of having to go to Settings > Preferences > Timeline > Audio Track Height to make the adjustments I want. Then of course back again to return it to normal. I would really like a right click > Select Track Height, or a key stroke.

2. Fade Curve. I find the straight linear fade often in need of adjustment to bias the fade towards the beginning or end of that fade. It means I have to go through the above sequence to do that, but I would like a way to create my own fade curve and save that as a preference.

3. Insert Silence. I still find myself wishing for the ability to add silence into a sound track in any place I highlight.

For Audio Track Height, I think CTRL+SHIFT+ Mouse wheel is what you are looking for.

Barry,

1. Please try Ctrl+Shift+ mouse wheel as advised above.

2. I'm afraid it can be done only in future.

3. Do you mean "silence" as virtual audio clip? Or add silence INSIDE existing audio clip?

Like Barry, I use a graphics tablet. I don't have a mouse and the stylus doesn't have a wheel on it!

Wacom's Intuos and Cintiq tablets feature so-called ExpressKeys and TouchStrips, as well as two buttons on the stylus itself. All fully customizable, these can be a great asset to the digital painter. This tutorial offers one possible tablet setup for Adobe Photoshop users.

A graphics tablet as Peter has said does not have a wheel and I don't have a mouse attached to any computer I own. There are buttons on the Pen, but I need those set for double left click and right click operations. I don't want to have to change the tablet settings to achieve a scroll. That would defeat the whole object of what I am asking for.

Currently a graphics tablet user has to go to Settings > Preferences > Timeline > Audio Track Height to make the adjustments they want

To use the graphics tablet with a scroll option is Start > Control Panel > Wacom Preferences > Pen > pen Buttons > set one to scroll - Then back again later.

Can anyone point out the benefit of first losing either a double left click option or right click option to achieve this or how there is any benefit at all.

Can't the width of the sound file be adjusted by a click and drag like other aspects of the main screen?

With silence, I mean like audacity does it. You can place your cursor into a sound file and decide to add 3 seconds of silence. It does make the sound already there silent, it just adds the 3 seconds of silence and the sound file increases length by 3 seconds.

Igor,

I am in total agreement with Barry on the his suggestion of being able to change the width of the audio line with the double headed arrow as is used elsewhere on the main screen.

My tablet is very old but working well but it won't give me options to change for a scroll.

Hi Barry,

with my wacom intuos tablet (CTH 480), scroll is achieved with 2 fingers on the tablet.

I think I inverted only the express keys CTRL and ALT and don't change anything else.
