Kalain Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 Hi,PTE 5.00 beta 8uI don't know what will come with next beta versions but here is some comments or suggestions about keypoints features.1/ Keypoint edit window :It would be nice when you are on a keypoint to open an window edition with a Double clic or Return key.By this way, you can enter the right value with keyboard.2/ Keypoint moveable with keyboard.It would be nice when a keypoint is selected to drag it in the time line with keyboard : CTRL + left key (decrease keypoint time by 0.1s) or CTRL + right key (increase keypoint time by 0.1s).By this way, it would be easier to change keypoint time values, specialy when there is several keypoints in a few lap time.Best regardsAlain Quote

How does opening a window help you enter the right value? You can change the view from 10% to 500% now. Are you saying that you would like to be able to click in a window and have the relevant "position" value inserted as a "pan" value?2/ Keypoint moveable with keyboard.It would be nice when a keypoint is selected to drag it in the time line with keyboard : CTRL + left key (decrease keypoint time by 0.1s) or CTRL + right key (increase keypoint time by 0.1s).By this way, it would be easier to change keypoint time values, specialy when there is several keypoints in a few lap time.I can see this if there were some way to specify what increment you wished to use but not arbitrarily selecting 0.1s.

I think this would be a good idea - maybe a small, compact menu window with text boxes to show the current PZR and time parameters and be able to make changes as required, without having to click on the correct properties tab.2. I'm with you on this one too. Quite often I wish I could nudge the keypoint by clicking on the arrow bars, but of course these serve only to change focus from one keypoint to another. "Ctrl - right-arrow" and "Ctrl - left-arrow" would work just as well and be valuable additions.However, these improvements should probably wait until after Igor issues the current updates to the program.

Kalain Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 Hi,1. I think this would be a good idea - maybe a small, compact menu window with text boxes to show the current PZR and time parameters and be able to make changes as required, without having to click on the correct properties tab.Yes, there is Keypoint time field on animation Tab (I just discovered this with your answer) but the scale is in "ms" from the beginning of the picture! and time line time is from beginning of slide show. This is not easy to use and not very direct because you have to calculate each time in your mind for the right value.Here is an example to show.(also a small, compact menu window could be better.)2.

Guest Techman1 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Ctrl+Arrow to shift points would be a nice addition in a later release of PTE. The Ctrl+Arrow is used in other programs to make minor nudging adjustments to the postion of objects, so hopefully Igor will add these suggestions to his "To Do" list or "Possible To Do" list.

Kalain Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 Hi,I dig up this message further than 6th forum page specialy for "CTRL+Left" and "Ctrl+right" key combinaison improvement. Should be moved to suggestion and ideas for future.Alain Quote
