Rate Selected Region; Rate Playback / Record Zone - Merging Pyramix User Manual

A Rating Line is displayed on Clips containing Media Markers, even if the Clips are not selected.
• This enables sections of a recording with a good or bad rating to be identified easily.
• The Rating Line can be shown/hidden using the menu item Markers > Display Media Markers Rating
Line
Note: When the Rating Line and Media Markers are hidden then Nudge Cursor to Next/Previ-
ous Edit and Nudge Clip to Next/Previous Edit ignore Media Markers.
Tip! Adding Media Markers in conjunction with the Rating Line
A nice feature is the possibility of mapping, for example, the Add Media Marker with Rating Excellent function
to a Key of your choice, and then mapping the Add Media Marker with Rating OK to the same Key but on Key
Up . Do the same with Add Media Marker with Rating Good , Add Media Marker with Rating Bad and Add
Media Marker with Rating Ridiculous to three other Keys.
Pressing any of these keys will actually "color" your recording e.g. green (Excellent) as long as the key is pressed
and resume "normal" yellow (OK) when released. This allows for marking regions of the recording that will be rec-
ognised easily during editing when the Rating Line is displayed.

Rate Selected Region

This allows a rating to be applied to a selected region using the menu item Markers > Rate Region .
When the command is activated a Media Marker with the chosen rating is placed at the beginning of the region
selected. A second Media Marker is placed at the end of the selected region with the rating OK or whatever the
former rating at that location was. E.g. an area is selected in a Clip rated Good . Under Markers > Rate Region
Excellent is selected. A Media Marker for Excellent is placed at the beginning of the selected region and a Meida
Marker for Good is placed at the end.
Note: Any pre-existing Media Markers within the selected region are deleted.

Rate Playback / Record Zone

This enables a Region / Zone in a selected Clip to be rated while it is being recorded or played back.
Note: This only works with short-cut keys while recoring or playing back. The corresponding rat-
ing will be applied while the shortcut key is depressed and will cease to be applied when it is
released. Ratings are bound to Keys in the Keyboard Shortcut Editor. Please see: Customizing
Keyboard Shortcuts on page 457
