New Keyboard Mapping Options for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve

When switching to a workspace that doesn't match your current monitor configuration (for example,switching to a workspace created for three monitors when using only two monitors), you areprompted by the "New monitor configuration" window, which asks, "Your workspaces were set up
for a different number of monitors. Now that the number of monitors has changed, would you like toduplicate workspaces for the new configuration?"

Selecting "Yes" creates a duplicate of your existing workspace that matches the new monitor
configuration (you can further modify and save this new setup if you would like). Selecting "No"preserves the current workspace, even if the monitor configuration is mismatched. In this case,certain windows may not be visible if they were located on a monitor that is now missing.

New Keyboard Mapping Options for Adobe Premiere
Pro and DaVinci Resolve
Keyboard mapping options for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve have been added to thedefault settings in the latest version of Media Composer. You can access these new options by goingto Avid Media Composer > Preferences > User > Keyboard, and selecting the desired setting.

2Text Justification Relative to Anchor Point in Titler+

the new keyboard mapping options do not appear in your User Settings, click the User Profilen Ifmenu
at the top of the Settings window and choose “Update User Profile” to refresh and load thenew options.

Text Justification Relative to Anchor Point in Titler+
Changing text justification in Titler+ will now shift the text layer relative to the anchor point position.
For example, when setting text justification to "Horizontal Justify Left", the anchor point will bepositioned at the bottom-left corner of the layer (as denoted by the bounding box). When toggling
between justifications (left, center, right), the text will shift accordingly around this same anchorpoint.

Select Filler with Segment Tools Added to the Timeline
Menu“Select Filler with Segment Tools" option is normally accessed via the Timeline Settings window. It
is now also accessible through the Timeline menu and can be mapped as a keyboard shortcut.

Timeline Clip Notes Display for Nested Clips

Timeline Clip Notes Display for Nested Clips
In the latest version of Media Composer, if the topmost clip does not contain a Timeline Clip Note,
but a nested segment below it does (this occurs when nesting effects), that note will be displayed on
the topmost segment.

When adding a Timeline Clip Note to the topmost clip with a nested segment that already contains aTimeline Clip Note, the text box will alert you by saying “Additional Notes may be present in nestbelow”.

New Enablers with Improved Design
With this release, the “enablers”, which are used to toggle properties on or off for a clip, have been
updated with a more consistent size and new overall appearance. This improved design allows forenablers that are easier to grasp, while simultaneously eliminating spacing issues with other userinterface elements.
New enablers have been updated in the following windows:
