Douglas, did you really produce a color wheel? Not to nit-pick, but from curiosity, I get more of a color array, half of the array is similar to a rainbow with all the subtle gradients shown, then the other half a frame of small pure color boxes, perhaps 8 boxes wide and 6 boxes high, to select from. But not a color wheel on mine. Regardless, eiither

Fantastic, Douglas! MC is full of tricks. Reminds me of GrabBag when we were kids. Anyhow the color wheel feature is a real surprise. Maybe we should have a contest to see who can come up with the neatest hidden feature in MC's bag of tricks. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Douglas, Carl and, perhaps, others: I discovered the answer to my problem of lightening the Superbin background while browsing through the Avid MC Basic Guide. In fact it not only can lighten a Superbin gray color, it can change the color or lightness/darkness of any bin. The solution is to bring up the bin, click it to unselect anything selected, go

You could install a drive caddy and use three different Hdd drives. One for editing with MC5 and whatever OS you use. One for editing with LE and whatever OS you use for that. And a third for all other uses, especially all internet surfing, to divorce surfing from your editing work. I used this system back when LE was my primary editor and Pinnacle

Carl, Yes. Your entire first paragraph is correct. With a new user profile and a new project the answer is yes, I have the identical issue. My original project was NTSC 30i and the new project was PAL 25p. User profiles were different What to try next? Thanks for your suggestions..

Thanks to all for the workspace idea. I tried this but did not succeed. The only way I can ever see the bottom line which contains the timeline hamburger, scaling and scroll bars is to hit the tool sets button. Otherwise, even dragging up the timeline screen over the source and record windows, and then dragging the lower right hand corner of the timeline

Thanks, Denny. But when I drag up to eliminate the space, it does so, but it still doesn't show the bottom line (the timeline hamburger, scale and scroll bars, etc.) In order to see those I must also click on one of the toolsets. Then all is well. However, double nuisance to get there. "Is a puzzlement" to quote the King of Siam.!

Larry, thanks for trying to simulate my setup. To perhaps help this along let me state that my toolsets are set up similar to what you describe. When I call up a toolset, the bottom bar of the timeline window is always in view atop the Windows Start/Task bar. That is not where I am having my problem. My problem is when I call up any project, new or

Larry, Thanks for the reply, but I'm not understanding it. I only use one monitor. But as I was originally setting up my MC windows configuration to my liking I was able to see thate bottom line (thus indicating that Windows can show it). I saved the screen as my personal preference. If I then start a new project the screen comes up just the way

I have set MC5.3.0.5 up so that when I start a project the initial screen will be just the way I want it. It does this except fpr the bottom line which is missing. This bottom line (the line in the timeline window which has the lower timeline hamburger, the scale and scroll bars, step-in and step-out arrows, etc) seems to be off screen, bottom, hiding
