I've been working in v6 since it was released, and while most of it I love, there's a couple of things that drive me spare!

So today's observation: I want to be able to easily move up and down my different "Sync to end" actions (see the attached... a picture speaks a thousand words!).

I just want those syncs in order.

The only way I can do it is to cut , then paste back each sync in the right order. But this allows for errors to creep in.

I want to just move the actions around with the green arrows!

Linda

You can't change the order because the order of triggers is not important - they get triggered or they don't. I suppose you might want to do it purely for neatness, but I'm afraid it's not possible at the moment. I'll add it to the improvements list.

I realised the order wasn't important therefore there was no reason to correct it ... but when trying to find an error at 2am, the fact that they were in the wrong order meant I had no hope!

Here's some other things I'd love you to add to the improvements list (or prove me wrong) - again they were all found in the dead of night:

QuickBuild
Cannot paste Text Style onto multiple pieces of text - only one at a time

Animated text
If the text is an odd number of pixels then the anim jerks at the end

Hoizontal/Vertical scale
The scale amount jumps back to 100% when you click between "by" or "to". I've lost my settings so many times because of this.

Publishing
Where an Opus anim gif has been used as an animated blend, this takes up to 2 minutes to publish. (Is this my pc? it doesn't seem reasonable)

Conversion to DVD errors
- Animated blends do not appear
- Png files with transparency appear solid
- Music pauses momentarily between screens
- Simultaneous actions don't get converted. However the same actions simultaneously placed within a timeline convert fine.

Thanks, Linda
