Cedric Dawnhawk Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 PTE version 8.0.17 1. Even with no audio files in a project, the lock all tracks option (Ctrl + L) can be applied. This then has some curious effects on slides in the timeline view. Individual slides can be moved by dragging their 'number' tags. However they can't be moved by dragging the 'thumbnail' of the slide. The length of the transition can't be changed by dragging but can be changed in slide options. Should 'lock all tracks' be affecting the slide timeline at all? 2. The 'lock all tracks' option seems to be saved as a preference (sav_lockalltracks in apr.ini) so that it remains applied even if PTE is closed and reopened. Surely it should be a project option? If it is a preference, then why isn't in the main preferences dialogue, say on the timeline tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does, and it is very good to have this feature. It may be better to have a separate function for locking the image track. Nevertheless this given feature is valuable. Users who care for a precise synchronization of images and music cannot live without it. Otherwise it would be very difficult to avoid incidental shifts that would destroy the synchronization. I always lock the image track. While pressing the control key I can do the shifts. Regards, jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
