The FastClip dataview :
The dataview displays cached textual data.
Think of it as a simple ‘box’. You put ‘stuff’
in the box. Afterward, you ‘do things’ with
the box contents.
What makes this ‘box’ special is that there
are so many ways to quickly and easily put
‘stuff’ into it; and so very many
different
and useful ‘things’ you can do with its
content afterward.
For full details, please see Sections 2.6.4,
8.14, 8.15, 11.3.1, 11.3.2, 11.3.3 and
Chapter 13.
This is a deliberate design feature, allowing you to perform commenting and other clip
management chores without interrupting playback.
Note: You can even use the keyboard or mouse to edit PLAY LIST entries without interrupting a
CLIP LIST angle playback, and vice versa. However, changing source delegates using the CLIP LIST
or PLAY LIST buttons on the Control Surface updates the source on output immediately – whether
playback was underway at the time or not.
4.7 MEMOS AND TAGGING
36. Delegate the CLIP LIST , if necessary.
37. Observe that some rows probably
contain “record events” (see Section
4.4) from prior experimentation.
Navigate to an event with no
Memo
field entries, and select a Memo cell.
38. Use the keyboard to type
“touchdown” (without quotes).
Observe that your text entries appear
immediately in the
FastClip dataview
(Section 2.6.4), but are not
immediately added to the selected
Memo cell (Section 2.6.8).
39. Press the ENTER key on the Control
Surface (or keyboard). Note that this
pushes your input (touchdown) into
the currently highlighted
Memo field.
Let’s do this again, with a twist:
40. With the same Memo entry selected, type “field goal”. Your
new entry will replace the previous content of the dataview , but to this point, the
existing Memo (“touchdown”) is not modified.
