Someone mentioned that they have created a template with all the track colours for all the different sections that they want, and then per project delete the tracks they won't need.
Yes, this is how it should work. I should be able to do all that colourising work once in advance and then never have to worry about that again. That is what is known as simplifying my future workflow. However, because CW have tied clip colours to Track colour, and made clip backgound colour only editable after the fact, I still can't specify in advance the colours I want. I still have to manually edit per clip per project.
I have created such a template. The point of a template is that it takes away all that hassle for each future project. I should now have my wonder template and never have to worry about fannying around with colours again. But no, I still have to do all that work in every project. Advances in the software should be making my workflow easier. This has not happened.
