Production Workflow

ne feature that I wish Overdrive had... The ability to click and drag a quick recall anywhere in an active rundown. Gets very frustrating having to wait till I need the quick recall in preview before I can add it.

I am lucky to have kind producers that will give me a heads up about a breaking news add but I have no way to quickly prep ahead of time.

Any thought of adding this feature?

Great suggestion Tom! I will look at adding this into the development queue for a future release.

I agree this would be VERY useful. Thanks for that reply Allan, cool to know that this may be in the future.

One feature I've been thinking could be very useful is when editing a shot in the Overdrive pluggin, under the custom controls tab, where you can check off "auto run" is to also have the option to "auto run in preview".

Right now we build a lot of memories that have a custom control that auto runs when recalled via attributes (mainly for routing aux buses for monitors). But 1. it won't be long until we are out of memories and 2. sometimes I don't have time to build a new memory just for this reason.

I also agree with BOTH of those wishes. I've wanted to be able to move around quick recalls in a rundown since I started using OD... it's a pain having to wait until just before you need it.

Another thing that'd be nice is more quick recall tabs. I thought I read in one of the past release notes that there would be the ability to add more tabs, but when our system got upgraded last month, no more extra tabs. Not only that, but we also lost the bottom row of quick recalls in the tabs that we had. We currently use all 6 tabs; 1 for emergency shots, the rest for 5 out of 7 of our operators to have a custom layout.
