Topic: could not be pasted?? Posted: 04 Nov 2008 at 7:35pm |
I have been working with Aurora for a couple weeks. Tonight I am experencing a new problem. I have a shared sequence that I am trying to modify. I added my two dlight controllers. When I try to copy a channel and add it to my controllers I get a message about the selection could not be pasted in this area.To be more descriptive of what I am doing:
Using the selection tool (kbd Y) I click on the first box in the sequence for that channel. While still holding down the left mouse button, I press end. The channel highlights in blue. I right click and select "copy".
Then I go to my new channel on the controllers I added. Click on the exact box, but on my new channel and then right click and select "paste". I get the paste options popup. Select "use the timeline events already on the grid" then continue. Thats when I get the can not be pasted message. I have done this with other sequences and it worked fine.
Any ideas. I'm at a loss. I have tried cut, copy, different channels, even tried to paste it back in the area I cut it from. I get the same message.

A little more info, If I add and event and then copy and paste it, be it to an existing controller or my new one, it works fine.

I have noticed that if you have the Waveform to Event, it will not paste.

I think waveforms are not meant to paste since they actually vary to the specific waveform within the specific cell. |

I agree, was just wondering if that was wesalbert's issue.

I think I've seen and experienced this too. Not waveform, just straight copy and paste. I think I got around it by delecting the destination cells then trying the paste again.ThinkI may have also seen this happen when I unknowingly tried to past past the end. I didn't pay too much attention to the error but will when I see it happened again. I believe it mostly happened with imported sequences and not those created from scratch.

MMMmmm... Don't like that I can't copy/paste W2E.
I've added channels and need/want to move the event, now I have to remember what settings I had to get the same effect.

Nope, not a waveform. Not copying past the end either. Just a series of events |

This might be off on a tangent but just for grins - have you tried to erase channel events (right click channel and select from menu) and maybe even running the 'X' across the channel - then try to paste. I believe this is what I did and sometimes it worked. As I recall I only had the problem with imported sequences. Seems sometimes there's something not being shown that is still hanging around in the channel and maybe preventing the paste in some way.
I do remember experiencing this but don't recall the actual steps I took to get around it. Maybe I gave up on the paste and just sequenced manually. I forget. (senior moment) Edited by bdkeen - 05 Nov 2008 at 3:01pm |

Haven't tried it...but the Grab function may grab the W2E and keep the original settings. |
