It looks as if CEP does not have a scrub or jog facility...or am I missing something. All help gratefully received.

CEP does not scrub or jog, but many of us have moved on from reel to reel editing, and no longer feel the need as we used to.

I have just had to play with a jog/shuttle/scrub editor and, frankly found it awful. And I was brought up on scrubbing reels.

Do a search on these forums using the word 'scrub' and you will find much in the way of discussion and workarounds.

I am one of those people who would like to see a well-implemented scrub feature introduced.

Unhappily, I understand that those of us who were hoping this might happen in v2 will have to wait for v3 :-(

Thanks guys.

CEP Support also now confirm they are getting lots of requests for jog/scrub and reading the smoke signals we can expect it to be included in a future update.

There's no substitute for being able to hear what the eye cannot detect. However I understand some Photoshop users claim to be able to get quite good results just using their ears.

When CEP invokes jog/shuttle we'll consider moving from SADiE.

Not long to wait, by all accounts.

There was a lot of support for the inclusion of this feature way back, long before CEP2 was announced. This was considered to be a useful feature for an audio editor.

There were also a lot of people who said they didn't want CD writing included, on the basis of us all having different requirements and not clogging up an audio editor with facilities which would already be possessed. Some of us thought that the inclusion of midi features rather missed the point as well.

So - Syntrillium have included a writer and midi play capabilities and left out the scrubbing.

As they say, in the good ol' USA, go figure.
