I just read through this also. I agree with the request in Post #30 - however I would be willing to accept a modifier.
After some work I was doing last night, I now see the advantages of clicking "Play In to Out" and have it start at the in point, and if I want to jump ahead to just before the out point, I could Ctrl-click or Alt-click (or whatever) on where I want it to resume without having to hit the spacebar again. Better yet, let me set something in Preferences to avoid the modifier.
I don't actually need it in the Sequence timeline as much as I need it on the Source Monitor timeline while I am making subclips - making sure they start and end exactly where I want them. But it might as well get added both places. I have been editing a long time but seldom made subclips. My latest project has forced me into it.
I also want the software to do what I tell it to do, and this time, I want to tell it to continue to play from wherever on the timeline I click, following the previous command's instructions. Which might have just been "Play", but in my case would be "Play In to Out".
If I click on anything other than the timeline, I would expect the video to stop playing, of course. But if I had a second setting in Preferences, perhaps it could just play until I told it to stop or it came to the end (unless looped).
Sun of a gun. Those darned FCP people came up with something I also need. The temperature in Hell just fell to below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, Submitting a close copy of post #30 as well as a new one for my exact needs, as follows:
-Brief title for your desired feature:
Uninterrupted playback when moving the CTI
-How would you like the feature to work?
During playback in either the Source Monitor or the Project Monitor, I'd like to be able to click somewhere else on the timeline (usually scanning ahead) and have it jump to that point and continue playing, following the previous command's instructions. Which might have just been "Play", but might have been "Play In to Out". Instead, I click ahead and playback stops. Then I have to hit spacebar to begin playing again.
-Why is this feature important to you?
When playing "In to Out" while making subclips, I generally want to play the first part of the clip then jump to the end part of the clip, simply doublechecking that I like the In and Out point where they are before I make it a subclip. When making many subclips out of long clips, it is possible to do this hundreds of times per clip.
My second request is as follows:
-Brief title for your desired feature:
Add modifier to "Play In to Out" button and add keyboard shortcut capability for same
-How would you like the feature to work?
Ctrl-click on "Play In to Out" would play five seconds (configurable in preferences) of the beginning and then jump to play five seconds (also configurable) at the end of the "In to Out" section. Also, add the equivalent Keyboard Shortcut so that Ctrl-Shift-Space would work as it does now, but some other (configurable) key combination would work as requested.
-Why is this feature important to you?
When playing "In to Out" while making sub-clips, I generally want to play the first part of the clip then jump to the end part of the clip, simply double checking that I really do like the In and Out points where they are. When making subclips out of long clips, it is possible to do this hundreds of times per clip.
(Edit: Please note that these are actual submissions. )
