Source / Rec monitor in Apple official pic – mistake?
Posted by Bruce Allen on July 20, 2011 at 6:10 pmSo, what is this?

They don’t seem to be in trim mode?
Or did they just Photoshop it to mislead us?
The lack of separate playhead controls is a bit of a giveaway that this is a hack of some kind.

The inexplicable dual viewer “screenshot” can also be seen here. It has always appeared in a dual monitor context, but I haven’t been able to duplicate it.

July 20, 2011 at 7:00 pmActually, nevermind, if you look at the unvarnished screenshot, the edge of a secondary storyline clip has the telltale yellow bracket suggesting it is being Trim’d. No apparent mouse point though.

One of the problems I have with FCPX GUI is that for a program that relies on 2-up it’s inadequately implemented. -

At first I thought there wasn’t a Trim operation in progress, but then I noticed the Yellow bracket (as I pointed out in my follow-up to my initial post). The thing that threw me off initially was the absence of the mouse pointer.

I agree. I think it should be active at all times when the Precision Editor is engaged in addition to all Trim operations, as is the case today. I submitted a Feedback saying so the day the form went live.
