Dialog editing, zooming with multiple events

SpectraLayers
1

Hi guys,

I’m doing some dialog editing and I find the workflow I’m using confusing;

  1. I’m editing smallish events that relate to longer source files (take 1, take 2, sinchro clap, etc) when I set SL as ARA extension for those clips, they are each added to their own layer. Thus I end up with 50 to 100 layers a lot having the same name (the source file name).

  2. When I double click the event for editing in SL the zoom is all over the place ex: the event I just clicked is scruncht up to the left side and not practically editable ( I also have events overlaping each other) so in order to perform the required SL editing I have to:

    • solo the desired Layer (many have the same name) +
    • select the Zoom icon +
    • click Zoom Active Layer to have a workable view +
    • pull down the wave/spectrum divider to display the waveform (hopefully only once)

So my question is : Is there an easier way to do dialog editing in SL.

Regards,

Marius

P.S. You guys are the best and have always come up with a solution or answer

I work in standalone…it can be a bit tedious; but I certainly have control of naming everything and don’t have concerns about funky relationships between programs…I find the reliability helps me chip away through the spectral editing

So, I realize I’m not really helping
