Adding compound clip to event library
My help file says I can do this… can’t figure out how.

I’m calling it FCX. They took the “pro” out, so I will too.
I’ll reconsider after the first upgrade.Mark Morache

Irritatingly you don’t seem to be able to move a Compound Clip from the timeline to the Browser at present. However you can make a New Compound Clip in the Browser (Opt/G) which is the way to go for now if you want to be able to organize them.

Thx.
Just one more way they’ve messed me up. So if I want to save a bit of a sequence, but not necessarily the entire sequence.
FCP7: create subclip

It’s a bit of workaround… (now there’s something we’ve heard in the last few weeks)
As Simon suggested you can create a new empty compound clip (opt+G – make sure no clips are selected) in the event browser, but back in your main timeline…arr I mean Project (get it right Brendan), select the clips you want, command +C to copy.
Back in the browser, select you previously made empty compound clip, right click and select “open in timeline”….now paste those clips you copied into it.
So now you have you compound clip in the library…in a little under 78 keystrokes 😉
Cheers,
Brendan

Good tip, and anything under 78 keystrokes is a super-duper shortcut!
I’m wrestling with the new paradigm, and I wish I had a pair of dimes for every time I got hosed by the paradigm.
One of the things I like about FCP7 is that all the different workflows become so intuitive. In FCPX, I can think of 5 or 6 possible ways to do something, and it often seems like only one has been implemented, and I have to try to figure out which one it is.

Why not just make a new empty project and copy and past your “bits” into it? That seems a lot easier than trying to force it into the events library.
