zman Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Last year I spent a fair amount of time adding a Red - Green - Blue - White tracks to my sequences. I just spent most of tonight updating my template for the 2011 updates, which on the surface was not much, BUT, when you look at the impact it had to my tracks...........Anyway the question, actually maybe 2 questions. First, I will assume that groups can be output into a template like Tracks can be today.Next, how will Groups play with Tracks? With my 5 significant Tracks at this point, it would still be a benefit in the Master Track to create Groups. If a Group gets created in the Master Track, will it also be in the other Tracks as well?These may be moot points. If I am starting to get my stuff situated now, depending on when S3 shakes loose, I may upgrade to it, but not have the time to get situated using a lot of the new features for this season. As one of my Tag lines says:Time is of the Essence - And There is Usually Not Enough of it! Tic Toc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 By "template", you mean channel config file? If so, yes, they take groups into account.Creating a group in one track does not automatically create it in another track. You can, however, copy that group to the other track, if you want.

zman Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks, I did mean exporting the Channel Config.Man I wish there was a way to use the "CNTL" select to copy paste multiple channels from one Track to another in S2 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes less than a minute to select a list of contiguous channels, creat a group with them and then copy or move that group into another track. You'll like it!

Well, I suppose we could... but that would definitely take away from the time we should be spending on putting the beta through it's paces... have to think about it...
