    [Steve Connor] “You are really showing your ignorance of how FCPX works here Aindreas, firstly there is always something in the primary even if its a gap clip and marking i and o works perfectly well with a gap clip in place!

    OK, now I understand, you mean if you have extended a secondary clip beyond anything in the primary underneath it then there is a blank space below it, then the i and o selection doesn’t actually work!

    However this is a pretty specific case, which isn’t exactly going to be a serious issue, plus the fact you can extend the clip on the primary and then it works!

    [Steve Connor] “Much as I enjoy using FCPX, there is a part of of me that hopes that it does fail, just for you Aindreas, you’ve put so much hard work into convincing people that it will.”

    I love starting these threads, people get really worked up, credit to Aindreas. Here’s the thing. Ive been cutting broadcast TV in FCPX for the last three weeks and thus far, while watching Twitter as the program is broadcast to millions of good folk across Britain. I’ve seen no Tweets, suggesting that the program has fallen into a pit because the editor has been cutting in a magnetic timeline, or that the stories are incoherent because the editor wasn’t using tracks, or weirdly that the entertainment value suffered because the editor had to deal with confusing export ranges. To Joe public, it looks like normal TV. I think that’s really what matters don’t you?

    as you recall this arose out of statement on the limitation of ranges, and the impossibility of cut points – there are only ranges – I’m not talking about exports bar what they highlight in terms of the semantic limitations of ranges as a core concept. they are object tied, and as with a timeline that doesn’t exist outside of the objects, this places limitations on where apple can take things – both the ranges and the timeline are inherently reductive.

    Option-w, right bracket, down arrow, shift-x, i, o, export

    Can we move on now?

    hey, I posted this to you up there but just to boil this down:

    – this thread arose out of statement on the limitation of ranges, and the impossibility of cut points – there are only ranges – I’m not talking about exports bar what they highlight in terms of the semantic limitations of ranges as a core concept. they are object tied, and as with a timeline that doesn’t exist outside of the objects, this places limitations on where apple can take things – both the ranges and the timeline are inherently reductive.

    Until you explain what you mean, the repetition isn’t making the message any more clear.

    You said you couldn’t export, and took a really long time trying to say it.

    I said you could, even if you add a gap.

    You say there’s nowhere to go due to a lack of options.

    I say we are already well on the way, provided multiple proofs.

    Would you care to elaborate or should we keep circling?

    [Jeremy Garchow] “You said you couldn’t export, and took a really long time trying to say it.

    incorrect – I showed a context where range selection for export is counter intuitive because you can only select objects – you said you could set in out points anywhere – i pointed out that that was incorrect. you said some stuff about people who really know the application know you need objects or a gap clip – then I reiterated that I was highlighting export ranges as a means of delineating conceptual shortcomings in ranges.

    We’re not circling anything – I’m pointing out some fundamental shortcomings in the range selection paradigm, that it reductive, I used the phrase corset, and you’re focusing on proving there’s nothing wrong with the export function or something?

    No.

    By anywhere, I meant in time, not space, even though you might have to add a gap clip.

    Does that really shrink your waist?

    Ok – we can stop here, I feel like I’ve won.
