Do the people who never use it, use video tracks?

If so, do they not find the performance inferior on frame?

Apart from the practical joke (all blocks and everything pink is a cracker), I don't use it on audio. None of the other engineers here do either. There was a performance difference with video tracks compared to frame when the computers were stock, but with a suitable amount of RAM, that has largely disappeared. The only reason I use it on video tracks is I find having still frames peppered around the track completely useless. I have a big TV in front of me that just happens to show me every frame of my video.

Hi Danny,

I never use it, and don't have a need for it.
