10.0.6 is…

That and blading through more than on track at once shift+cmd+b! Those two, audio, and piops will save more time than anything.

blading through all layers….

Does FCP7’s in – out select in to out — shift delete work in FCPX? — that was the quickest way to remove a large chunk of everything and pull it back together.

Not as simply as that. But now that you can blade through all layers, just deleting the clip in the primary would probably do the same thing if all the layers above are connected to it. Seems like a good function to bring back.

You don’t need all those steps.

in the primary, define a range, hit delete.

unless of course you don’t want to do that.

but more steps are more fun!

You don’t need to select in to out to ripple delete in FCP 7. Just in and out.

Does this mean the blade tool will work on audio only with an audio clip that has been disconnected from its parent? Currently I’m not able to do this which is a real pita

But it won’t do that. The clips above the range won’t get deleted. They’ll just get mashed together in that awesome non-destructive editing manner apple invented.

However, I tested the new method and it’s pretty much the same steps. Go to point A and instead of marking an in, do a shift+cmd+b, then go to point b and shift+cmd+b. Now in the primary, highlight the clip between pt a and b and press delete. All the clips above are connected to it because of the blading process, and so they get deleted too since they’re connected. There really is a method to the madness.

In 10.0.5 wihtout the blading, you could delete the clip between a and b, but the clips above would just slideabove and under clips that come after pt b in no apparent logical order. And you’d have to manually trim every clip back, or slide and delete each clip, then delete.

Blading through everything is such a huge improvement in my multi layered bullet pts workflow!
