12.6 layered editing not what it should be

[pyrmont25]

Just got 12.6. Layered editing turned on. Placed a small clip over a larger clip, removed small clip and larger clip still intact as expected. HOWEVER place a large clip over a small clip and small clip disappears! I thought the whole point was to retain the clip underneath? I hate when you accidentally place a clip over another(shorter) it disappears. I expected this new layered editing to have sorted this!

It's a preference you can set - whether it moves it to a new playlist or not.

Ah ok thanks. What preference?

From the video that I watched - it is supposed to create a new playlist underneath, if you enable that in pref's. Check your playlists for the smaller clip.

Found it. Don't understand why this should be any different!

Avid engineering is handling this slowly, as it should IMO. Hence prefs like Pete mentioned etc.

Changes this fundamental to the workings of PT should be eased into.

Expect Layered Editing to continue to be enhanced as time goes by.

To be honest it is a new feature - so it really can't be any different because there is no departure point from which to judge a difference.

Track Compositing Shortcuts....

I can't speak for the PC versions of these but looks like the mac versions are not as described in the pdf doc.

(Move the selection to the main playlist Option+Control+M) is actually OPTION SHIFT M?
(Copy the selection to a new playlist Control+Shift+Left Arrow) is OPTION SHIFT DOWN ARROW?

(Move the selection to a new playlist Control+Shift+N) OPTION SHIFT N?
