Select a short segment of a capture and Effect > Amplify to a very large number plus check the [x] Allow Clipping box. When I do that, my timeline lights up an explosion of red at thousands of clip points.

Normalize changes the level of the whole show at once so that the highest peak lands exactly at the value you set in the tool. If you didn't pick a value and check the box, the tool will do nothing. Worse, if you pick a value lower than the highest peak, the volume will go down. I think the default ...

That must be another shortcoming with the earlier version. Apple-B gives me a marker every time I press it, but all of them are stacked at zero time. They don't reflect the running time I pressed them. I can run the Very Latest Version and under Snow Leopard, but I don't have anything actually runni...

I wonder if one of the newer versions allows that.

<<<I'd use the one I find is the most stable for me in my application>>> Which would be? If this filter thing is still broken in 1.3.9 and 1.3.10 is still going through Major Changes every half-hour.... You see where I'm going with this? There is no workable production program. That's why I'm still ...

<<<I download the nightly build and try it out every day.>>>

I have a slightly different application. I have to explain to some powerful Hollywood production types why it failed.

Now which one would you use?
