Avid Xpress Pro / Media Composer Adding Locaters
If you have spent much time using locaters in Avid before the HD version you may find the way that locaters in Avid Xpress HD work very annoying. The default set-up in HD is every time you insert a locater the locater dialog box opens and asks you to type in your comment. This is great for organizational purposes but if you want to add them On-the-Fly this new feature is in your way. The only advantage to this is once you are done you can go back to this dialog box and insert you comments. If you want to disable this feature and add locaters on-the-fly then here are the steps you need to take:
1. Map a locater to your keyboard
2. Right-click the Source or record monitors and select locators.
3. Choose Disable Locaters Popup from the Fast Menu.
Now you can play your sequence and add locater's on-the-fly.
