How to lock IN/OUT markers in viewer window so they don't drag?

Is there a way to lock the IN/OUT markers in ther viewer window?
Reason why- I tend to have long clips. I mark my IN/OUT point.
I then go back to the viewer window to scroll through the clip.
While trying to drag the scroll bar I end up dragging the Mark OUT instead.
It's minor- but is there a way to get the markers to lock in place- until you mark new points- instead of them staying in drag mode?

FCP is not AVID, AVID is not FCP.
I know you're not looing for a lecture, but its worth restating the obvious once again.
Don't try to make FCP work like an AVID. You'll waste too much time trying to make it something its not, and to some extent this will mar your enjoyment of the new application in your arsenal. You have to try to learn to use FCP the way it was intended. The IN/OUT markers in the viewer window DO drag in FCP. This is a great thing. It gives us the flexability to edit directly in the viewer window. Something we could never do in AVID. Take a look at this old chestnut from the talented Mr Andrew Balis for some inspiration.
And welcome to the club

    How can I find iTunes 10.1 for windows.  I don't want the cloud, and my iPod touch won't go back to prior versions.

    Had the same problem. Also worked fine on my MacBook, but not on my new iMac. Here's what I did to fix it:
    Archive and Reinstall Mac OS (takes about 40 minutes). This reverted my system back to 10.6.2. Just pop in your Mac OS disc that came with your computer. Mine had 10.6.2 on it, and "Archive and Install" is the default option. When it's done, run software update and update everything. Now it all works fine.
    Somewhere along the way, some file got corrupted somehow. But doing an "archive and install" of your OS undoes whatever file damage was incurred, and allows everything to update normally via Software Update as it should.

  • How do i print out the keyboard viewer?

    I use different languages and need to use the different special characters so am switching among different keyboard layouts frequently.  I use the (on-screen) "Keyboard Viewer", but would like to print out the "Keyboard Viewer" for each language that I frequently use.  I can't see how to do this other than with e.g. screen capture which is less than ideal.  Does anybody know where there are e.g. images of each keyboard layout (including special characters you get by hitting "shift" etc.)?

  • Preview is locking me out of my own PDFs, saying I don't have permission to view them even though I do

    I've only noticed this since the software update (10.7.1), but I've got a big problem with preview at the moment. I'm trying to open some PDFs (journal articles) saved on my MacBook Pro, which I've previously had no trouble opening, but all I get is an error message saying:
    "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    I then go to get info for the file, and see that I DO have read and write permission for the file. But it still won't let me open it.
    I'm trying to write my Masters dissertation (due in in less than 2 weeks) and it is ESSENTIAL that I'm able to view these files to complete it. Needless to say this is making me very stressed out and frustrated! I'm almost certain they all worked before the 10.7.1 update, but can't be 100% sure.
    Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    George

    Thanks for trying to help but this is a different issue - see my post for details. I'm pretty sure sandboxing is the cause: you can only access files via bookmarks etc if you have already explicitly opened them.
    From: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/AppSan dboxDesignGuide/AppSandboxInDepth/AppSandboxInDepth.html
    "Your sandboxed app can access file system locations outside of its container in the following three ways:
    At the specific direction of the user
    By using entitlements for specific file-system locations (described in “Entitlements and System Resource Access”)
    When the file system location is in certain directories that are world readable"

  • How do I find out a BDT view that is linked to a particular field in BP

    Hi,
    In the BP screen, if say I want to find which BDT view is linked to the screen field, how can I do so?
    Regards
    Priyanka

    Hi Satyendra,
    Thats fair enough. I have been able to trace the field in this way but I am facing a problem which forces me to think that I might be concentrating on an all together wrong view.
    See the field I need to work on is Grouping(this appears on the top right corner when you try creating a new BP). The texts for grouping come from table TB002-TXT40. Now this is in field group 2, which is in view BUP020.
    I need to set a default value for this field. For this I have modified the PBC linked to this view's screen. But the change does not come into effect.
    Any idea???
    Regards
    Priyanka

  • How to get Iphoto out of slideshow view and into edit, by default

    Iphoto recently began showing all my albums in slideshow view rather than its customary edit view. I can switch to edit by clicking on the edit icon or just clicking a photo but I want to view and work in edit mode. It just won't show me any albums/folders in edit mode. I posted this once but it has vanished. Any help out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences and under the Events section set the Double-click Event: menu to Magnify. See if that's what you want.
    The edit mode is only entered when you double click on a photo's thumbnail.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to create Reports out of Individual Views from Discoverer

    Hi Gurus,
    I am doing a a POC where i need to bring in couple of views which are reports in Discoverer inside OBIEE 11g and create reports out of it.
    In OBIEE i dont need to join anything as these are standalone views i just need to use them to create individual reports. But it seems in OBIEE you cannot do that, you will need to join and create keys in each and every tables(which are views in the DB).
    Is there any way i can import the views from DB or create the views in OBIEE 11g and use them to create reports.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    Yes you can create opaque views in OBIEE 11G at repository level and deploy them.

  • How do I get out of this damn setup? I don't want any upgrade!

    I don't want an upgrade to your software, but my pc keeps bugging me to do so. Same with google.com. I try to get out of the constant, annoying messages to sign up for this, sign up for that with no way to simply say NO THANKS! How can I go back to the old way. If I can't, simply tell me. I will open a new email account, close the old one and make sure I never put Firefox on the new account.

    Are you meaning Firefox? (Firefox is in no way tied or associated with your Email address, so if this is an email issue, you'll have to contact whomever handles your email). Can you give a bit more detail as to your exact problem?
    If you are meaning the upgrade to Firefox 12, this is a free update to old firefox software that introduces new features and security fixes. All older versions of Firefox are no longer supported, so you need to update to Firefox 12 in order to stay secure on the web. Not updating can leave you and your computer vulnerable to loss of information, hacks, viruses, etc.

  • How do we get the os x 10.8 when they don't provide it?, how do we get the os x 8.0 when they don't provide it?

    I can't even connect eith anybody to find out how to get this new lion 10.8.   I need the mirror display for my job (teacher) and if it is their fault for giving us an upgrade that took stuff off of our macbooks then why do we have to pay for an upgrade???? I am frustrated and tempted to save up and get a dell!!!! Can anyone shed light on this problem???

    Back up your data, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading Mavericks; if it's incompatible with your computer, so is Mountain Lion. If desired, you can buy a download code for Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store instead, but it's generally only worth doing if you have software compatible with it but not Mavericks.

  • Email, how do I protect Emails on my Treo so that they don't get deleted?

    I find that every couple of days, my received Email messages get deleted automatically.  There are some that I want saved but I can't seem to find any settings to do this.  I don't want Emails deleted unless I delete them.  Is there a way to do this?
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Yes.  This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .
