  Round Tripping…a Bad Trip

  Posted by Gary Slickman on October 19, 2011 at 3:39 pm

  One of my favorite features is round tripping right from the timeline. I see no way to accomplish this- am I missing something. There is no mention in the manual.
  When I use the photo library and elect to open the image in aperture to adjust, it doesn’t appear that FCPX recognizes the update. I have tried closing both apps and rebooting but the changes do not take in the timeline. I have to delete and replace or over-write the old version. Is this correct- am I missing something here too?

  Ah yes. Relinking. Well, the FCP X Manaul does have an entry for this:

  Edit a still image with an external image editing application:

  Now if this actually works is another story 😉

  Aperture images are in the Aperture library, which is a closed system. When you import an image into FCP from Aperture it’s copied into the event. Changing the image in Aperture will have no effect on the image in the FCP event. You have to edit the image that’s in the event. This work perfectly in Photoshop. In Aperture you have to go through the export process and replace the image in the FCP event.

  All the best,

  Tom
