Two edit questions
I don’t seem to find anyway to do these two functions in X. Are they there?
1. A true replace edit using the playhead as a sync point. In most NLEs you would mark the timeline in/out and park the playhead on the sync point. In the source clip, you would have no marks and park the playhead on a corresponding sync point. Any way to do this in X? A typical example is to add a SFX to match a visual cue. Or when eye-matching a replacement shot.
2. Three-point edits where the out-point of the source matches the out-point of the timeline and the in-point of the source is left blank and is automatically determined by the in-point of the timeline.

1) Still not there. I still miss it.
2) “Replace from end”. It’s a command you have to assign manually, but it is there.

Shift – D, and Shift – Q work just fine for #2, and like Jeremy said, you can map the Replace from end.
I too miss the old replace.

Shift! Ah, yes, I forgot. Thanks.
Regarding sync’ed replace edits, the only workaround I’ve found is to place the two in-points at the source and timeline frames to sync, make the edit and then trim back to fill the missing front portion of the clip before the sync point.

It is true, shift-d does work, but it is storyline only (primary or selected secondary).
Shift-q, obviously, adds another back timed connected clip.
Replace from end will replace any selected clip pretty much anywhere, except it doesn’t work on a range of a clip.
I find that all of these methods have better times to use than others, although throwing in a connected clip at any time is pretty easy to manage.
