I Just Noticed the Pop-up Cell Info

[rwertz]

I haven't sequenced much this year. So, I'm not sure when this feature was released. But I like it

If you leave the mouse hover over a cell for 1 second a pop-up box displays the cell info (like the cell info menu option). As you move or drag the mouse the info updates for the current cell the mouse is in.

Hi Reg –

You can now control some of the Tooltips preferences too. Go to EDIT - PREFERENCES - DISPLAY PREFERENCES and on that window you can control the opening time, closing time, etc. Very helpful.

Hey look at that, Animation Redraw Throttling. I'll have to crank that up a little

Thanks Dave.


Edit: So, low throttling (default setting) provides the fasting refresh rate?

[DaveK]

Yes, I find that LOW is best; for my computer anyway.

Call me dumb, but what are tool tips and anmation redraw throttling??

[rwertz]

Here's the Tooltip we were talking about. If you leave the mouse hover over a cell for ~1 second a pop-up box displays info on the effect assigned to that cell. Unfortunately my screen capture doesn't show the mouse pointer.

I did not know that that was called a tool tip, thanks

The tool tip question has already been answered, so: Animation redraw throttling is related to how quickly the Animator will redraw. Setting it as low as possible will make the animation look as smooth as possible, unless your machine is unable to keep up with the redrawing, in which case it will probably look jerky. Setting it as high as possible will give your machine the least amount of work to do.

For details, please see the section "Animation Redraw Throttling" on the Display Preferences help page:
