jimswinder Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have my "Set Paste Mode" set to "Paste By Cell", but it is pasting beyond the cell? It is not pasting by "time", because I switched the "Set Paste Mode" to "paste by Time" and it was a LOT smaller than what I see now (Picture attached).Anyone else seeing this?I am sure it is operator error...but don't know what I am doing wrong...it was working fine earlier this evening.

George Simmons Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'd check your source cell(s) - the one(s) you copied for pasting originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, and it has worked this way in the past, if the source cell was only .5 seconds and the cell I was pasting to was 1 second, it would still fill the whole cell...and visa versa...if the source cell was LONGER then the cell I was pasting to , it would STILL just fill the cell.

George Simmons Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I've pasted by cell a lot in cases where I've previously filled in existing events with a different timing grid than what I'm using 'presently'. When I copy two adjacent cells where one of them is filled and the next one is only partially filled and paste those by cell, it will appear exactly as the one that I copied; ie: the first cell is full and the adjacent cell is only partially filled. I've never seen the sequence editor do anything different.Pasting by time, however, totally disregards the presence of timing marks in the destination paste area.

bob Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, it sounds to me like it might be what George described - perhaps you actually have two cells copied, without realizing it (perhaps because the second cell is very short), and the second cell has a little bit of an effect in it.If that's not the case, please send a copy of the sequence file to me (bob@lightorama.com), and tell me exactly what time range/channel I should copy to get this to happen. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It would only fill the pasted second cell completely if the copied second cell was completely filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimswinder Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hey Bob and Dan...As expected, it was (again) operator error.After zooming in on the source cells, I did see that there was two cells with an event (2nd cell was not a full event) where I thought there was only one cell.Sorry for the inconvenience...
