Clips scaling on their own middle of set

[painpainpain]

Hello!
I am running the latest version of resolume avenue and I'm trying to find a hotkey/bug for this behaviour.
The problem is that if I do a gig without my midi controller (sometimes I have to), I use my laptop's keyboard to put layers on/off and switch between blending modes. I use 1,2,3,4 for layers and q,w,e & a,s,d & z,x,c for different blending modes between the layers.
This works perfectly EXCEPT that every once in a while (maybe once during a gig) I get this weird thing that some button combination, or something else I have no idea about, keeps scaling some of my clips down. From 100% to 75% and then 50% and eventually 25%. And I notice it at that point when I put my layer on that has the scaled down clip.
So imagine doing a set and then putting a clip on, just to notice it's actually scaled down to 25% of what you want it to be! and it's pretty obvious because, well, it's a small box within a bigger box I've had a few embarrassing moments with this, because it's so highly obvious when it happens.

I run my resolume on macbook pro and os x snow leopard, the clips are DXV and my GPU is well, whatever the latest macbook pro has. I don't get this problem when I use my ipad as midi controller, but when I use the keyboard I get this error. I guess it might be a keyboard shortcut but for the devil in me I haven't found a single hint anywhere on what it would be.

Any clues?

Thank you! I appreciate the effort. And I marked my problem with bold since I write way too much

I'm going to assume you're using Avenue (this is posted in the R2.41 part of the forum). In that case in the default key map, 's' is mapped (in mouse mode) to the scale of the currently active clip. This means that you can hold down 's', and move your mouse up and down to scale the clip.

There are a few solutions for this.
1. Clear the entire key mapping in both layer and deck focus and start again.
2. Go into key mapping, layer focus and delete the 's' which is mapped to scale of the current clip.
3. Don't touch the mouse and s at the same time

Option 1 is probably the safest bet, but 2 should work as well.

Hope that helps.

Hello.

I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum. "I just woke up" is my excuse

This is why this company gets a two thumbs up in the future too; fast reply and a professional one.

THANK YOU. didn't even occur to me that the problem wasn't in the keys but in the mouse. It might have been that I've been touching the touchpad while pressing the button. Mystery solved! Now to bang some pixels..

Glad it worked for you, Painpainpain
