  • Marking frame accurate video hit points in Sonar X2? (p.2)

I am using my own key bindings.....
 
L/R keys for 1 frame nudge and { } for 5 frame nudge and "Y" to scrub.
 
Go to Preferences and make sure you are looking in the "video view" bindings section and then pick "advance 1 frame" for whatever key you like and "step backward 1 frame", then you also have a choice to keybind "advance several frames" (which is 5) and just repeat the bindings where ever you like.
 
Dont forget to use these bindings you need to in VIDEO VIEW and not in any other window.

p.s by default in the bindings section it looks for commands in the GLOBAL BINDINGS area, just switch that drop down box to VIDEO VIEW area.
 
Hope this resolves it! I just tested a re-bind on X3 here and it worked, so should work for you no problem....
 
btw, also make sure you have your video view to display Frames or SMPTE (right click on the video and change the "time display format")

Vicsant, can you mark/edit this one as solved...it helps the Film Sonar community when they are searching on google.

(btw, for what its worth it took me alot of head scratching to unlock all these features from Sonar, and also its worth noting that the Bakers are working on a better workflow for people in our industry :) )
 
X3c all the way!

Just nudge until your hitpoint lines up, forget up about frames. Cubase 7 has exactly what you you are referring to. Hopefully X3c will have some killer new video functions, such as a video jog feature.




You can video jog already.....
 
By default there is no key binding for it in X3c but you can create one yourself...Search the bindings for "scrub tool"
 
 




Holy ****e! Thanks a lot markyzno, I wish I had known about this a LONG time ago!
