Todd Groemling Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 To me, it's all about getting the now time, the start play time and, start record time where I want it in the quickest way possible. However, we don't always set nor want to set a marker. In fact, we don't always know when we need a marker. So, how about if when a user hovers over a clip, a pop-up appears that lets a user choose to move the start time to that clip's start time? Or let the user right click on a clip and have an option to 'Make this the Now Time'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc23 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Set Snap properties to Landmarks-Events. Before clicking, turn off time-snap in snap-module in control bar. Click near start of clip, cursor will snap to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Groemling Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Dang. I think I've not been clear. Let's say a clip where I want the now time to be starts at 3:01:240 , but I don't know the exact start time without clicking on the clip. And the project is stopped at measure 5:03. If I click at approximately 3:02, then the cursor stops there. It doesn't go to 3:01:240. If I click at 2:04, well, that's where the start time goes. So, I'd like a setting that allows me to just hover over a clip and have Cakewalk show its start time. That way, if I want, Cakewalk could let me left me left click to have the start time moved to the clip's start time. To me, that's intuitive workflow which I don't see offered yet. Meanwhile, keep in mind that there are times when I'm ultra zoomed in or zoomed out, due to what I'm working in AND not having the best eyesight. Therefore, being able to determine a place to click on that is close enough to the start time of a clip is not always possible. Also, I shouldn't have to be that accurate where I click if what I request is offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Click on the clip to select it, then press SHIFT + G - the now time will go to the start of the clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
