PT 12.8 ObjectGrabber doesn't work with MIDI Regions

[ChrisSimon]

Hi,

I remarked today an error, that you can't "grab" MIDI Regions with the ObjectGrabber. if you select them yellow outlined and try to move them, it's not possible... if there's an AUDIO File included, it works like all the years before...

Can someone confirm that on another System???

Hi, I'm on 12.8.1 and it works fine. Pretty sure it was fine for me with 12.8...

12.8.1..???

[ChrisSimon]

No one else that problem with MIDI Objects in case of the ObjectGrabber??

Hey there,

I posted a query about the object grabber recently: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p...25#post2442825
Hardly any response. It surely can't just be us two.

I find that Shift and Click works for non-contiguous, or random, notes in the MIDI editor but I am unable to select random CLIPS in the main edit window with the Object Grabber... it selects whole blocks of clips instead just like the normal grabber.

Anyone any suggestions?
We're all ears gang...

Did that also, no difference...

Have also 12.6.1 on the computer... After trashed prefs etc, tried it unter 12.6.1, everything fine...

Back on 12.8. same problem again...if you grab MIDI Files and f.e. 1 audio File, it works... just with MIDI no way...

hi, please make your procedures clear and concise ... we are possibly missing something in trying to help you and trying to reproduce ..

just midi Clips:

1) select Object Grabber
2) select 1st midi Clip
3) hold Shift key and select 2nd midi Clip
4) let go of shift key, move both midi Clips, you see Yellow Border - Works

audio and midi Clips:

5) select midi Clip
6) hold Shift key and select audio Clip
7) let go of shift key, and hold Command key and move both Clips - Works

where am i going wrong that i cannot reproduce your fndings ????

Hi John,

I try to make it clearer now:

Just MIDI Clips

1) select Object Grabber
2) select 1st MIDI Clip (dragging the ribbon over it by clicking Mouse, hold move over the region, let mouse go)
3) select 2nd MIDI Clip with shift key (dragging the ribbon over it by clicking Mouse, hold move over the region, let mouse go)

Both regions have yellow border..
Try to move, only the 2nd clip is moved, still having the yellow border, 1st region looses border, stays at it’s position

Other example:
1) select Object Grabber
2) select 1st MIDI Clip (clicking onto it) has NO yellow border!!!
3) select 2nd MIDI Clip with shift key (clicking onto it) as NO yellow border!!!, instead the whole area between the two clips is marked like done with TimeGrabber…

I did record also a small screenshot movie, here's the link:
