Scroll-bug still present in PT7.1cs8

[Frank Kruse]

Hi,

we are currently mixing from a PT7.1 rig. PT in TC chase. Master is a soundmaster controller. Unfortunately PT7.1 still seems to show the scroll-bug behavior I only know from PT6.9.x. PT will not scroll the screen if you rewind the master beyond the viewable timeline of PT.
It´s pretty annoying for the mixer and the editor because one of the two always has to manually press R or T or click in the timeline to forece PT the catch up with the page scrolling.

I´d highly appreciate a fix for this.

Frank.

P.S.: At the moment the only work-around is to work in continuous scroll with playhead mode but some mixers do not like this view.

I wanted to emphasize how annoying this scroll-bug is after 6 weeks of mixing and constantly hand-forcing PT to scroll after a long rewind. I´d highly appreciate a fix for this. Since PT´s graphis are so low-contrast (light coloured clips with slightly darker waveforms) on snow-white timeline it´s rather hard to see if PT is actually playing in sync and not scrolling or if it´s not locking.

Take a look at the new 64-track-dubber from Harrison. THAT´s what I would call a easy to read timeline. Please make the colours user-adjustable. On a dark dubbing-stage a snow-white timeline is extremely blinding in contrast to the screen where your film is running.

I´d rather be willing to pay for some ergonomic improvements in PT than for another 200bits etc.

Thanks for listening.

I agree with the annoyingness.

I find that pressing Down-arrow or Up-arrow (to make selection, depending on forwards or backwards movement) then pressing Left-arrow does the trick better than R and T.

Thanks for the tip. R and T don´t help, yes. Normally the only trick that helpped here is to click ionto the timeline somewhere close to the cursor and then R or T. I´ll try up down. The most annoying thing about this is the fact that an operator ALWAYS has to sit at the DAW and "hand-scroll". As soon as the editor (me) has to dig out new music on a second rig off-stage an assistant has to come in to do the "hand-scrolling". Pretty embarassing on a 50-million-euro-production.
