A huge thank you for all the work you've done on video responsiveness... So pleased to see it going into the release version.

+1 much appreciated!

I have "When moving audio items, seek video frame to: Start of audio item" enabled. Can I humbly request that aggressive video updating (when enabled) also affects this behavior as well? It seems logical that it should.

After having such amazing snappy video updating, when I go to move an item it uh... doesn't feel right anymore....

Thank you so much for your consideration!

There is still this bug with new razor-time modifier that was introduced in this fixed lanes pre series but went live in stable:



Track and other contexts:
Set Razor and time
Set Razor and time ignoring snapping

Start normal selection while snapping is enabled then press ignore snapping modifier, time selection start gets shifted to initially pressed position

@Sexan I can't reproduce this, snap on or snap off, FWIW. I have ctrl+right-drag for this function.

What happened to this?
Seems it didn't end up in v6.60 public?

(Nevermind the 'ridiculous', actually asking for setting oversampling via API in general. )
