Bounce To Disk Location not staying with Session

It's been reported and was actually already on the bug list. It started with the new bounce window in 2020.11.0.

Yeah it's not a problem if you do it that way, but a lot of us use different workflows and don't bounce to the Bounced Files folders and that's when the problem happens. The "right place" isn't the same for everyone.

Oh good.

But if they asked the users a simple question, the bounce window would have a global setting and "follow session" tickbox for override.

Great I'll try it.

I also heard back from Avid Product Specialists Jeff Komar

"The 3rd Option: Directory should be global and sticky:

Session Folder: Defaults to Bounce Files subdirectory in current working session.
Prompt – on clicking Bounce will prompt for a location and is also sticky regarding the last directory tree.
Directory: Global and sticky. Not session based but rather global.

I would highly recommend checking out the 1-5 chicklets or Presets which are super handy for immediately switching between formats and paths on a click.

Use CMD + (number) click to program a chicklet macro. Set all of the attributes first." Best, Jeff Komar
