Hidden shortcut for autorename?

[Frank Kruse]

Hi,

is there a hidden shortcut for "auto rename selected"? There´s no official one as far as the manual goes.

If not how do you guys lable a bunch of spliced up foley clips you want to name "FTS JOHN" instead of "FOL 345-22123 in the timeline. Having to select "auto rename" in the region list menue a couple of hundred times a day is kinda lame.

I´ve been using region groups to work around this but since PT becomes more and more sluggish and instable the more groups are in the session I avoid this now.

thanks,

frank.

P.S.: I know I could consolidate and rename but then I´d lose all handles wich is NG in case of a recut.

As a reward I´ll share this hidden feature (hope it´s new for you guys)

Accidentally hit return or "z" and your playhead is at zero hours and can´t remember where you were working?
1) Don´t touch or click anything!!
2) Hold the alt-key and click right in the center of the "cross" where you zoom up and down the waveform. I mean right in the center between the waveform "louder/softer" switch and the "midi zoom in/out" switch. NOT on the switch.

The timeline-view will jump back to the last location where you worked.

3) Do NOT press play. PT will play from zero hours again. Click into the timeline first to set the cursor there. Continue to work.

This only work as long as you respect step 1).

Frank.
