Pyramix Busy Warning
When Pyramix is engaged on a very demanding task, such as a opening a huge project or a long and complex ren-
der the user interface may appear to freeze with the window changed to white and the interface not responding.
A status window opens at the bottom right of the main Pyramix window to inform the user that Pyramix is still
operational. One of the following messages may be displayed:
• Pyramix Virtual Studio busy (during tasks like: opening project, mount, renders, libraries,...)
• AAF Parser busy (during AAF import task)
• Merging Technologies VS3 busy (during Mixer tasks)
• Merging Technologies Convert busy (during Convert task)
Note: The small progress bar within the Pyramix status window (white) will progress at different
speeds. Please be aware that the progress bar does not necessarily indicate the remaining busy
time.

Project Editing Panel

By default the Project Editing Panel has a number of dockable toolbars at the top, a row or rows of Time Scale
Ruler tool bars and below this the Timescale Ruler(s), Markers Tray and the main Timeline Tracks display. This is
where much of the audio editing is accomplished. Audio Tracks may be created, added or deleted, and audio
Clips can be edited, moved, copied or pasted. Note that the Project Editing Panel automatically starts with the
same number of audio Tracks as the number of Input Channels configured in the Mixer of a new Project.

Project Management Panel

The Project Management Panel has a number of tools for managing, navigating and modifying a Project. A sin-
gle click on one of the tool Tabs at the bottom of this Panel, opens its window in the Panel. Double- clicking a Tab
opens it as a floating window. Double-clicking the Tab of a floating window or its Caption Bar returns the window
to the panel.
Note: By default, clicking the red X close box of a floating Tab Window removes it from the
screen. It can be reinstated as a Tab from View > Editor Tabs
