  Why would you want to do that? I guess if that’s the way you edit. Good luck with that.

  I hear that so often: That’s the way I edit. That’s the way I want it to work. People work that way wholly because that’s the way the tools they’re using work.

  All the best,

  Tom

  I wouldn’t, I’m happy with the new trackless workflow, but lack of tracks is one of the most common complaints about FCPX, I just thought I would show that there is at least the vaguest of possibilities that a form of tracks could be implemented.

  In some occasions tracks are good to have. Depends on the job.

  Steve, I understand you are setting all the tracks up as Storylines, but how do you prevent them from being connected to the primary storyline?

  2 x Finalcut Studio3, 2 x MacPro, 2 x ioHD, File Server w. X-Raid
  …. and FCPX in the garbage bin

  They are all connected, I was just using the position tool to place and move clips, this doesn’t disrupt the connections, It’s a cheat of course but if Apple wanted to it could be a shortcut to some level of fixed track model
