10.0.6 is…

What’s the difference?

[Bret Williams] “What’s the difference?”
one less keystroke,
“x” to mark a clip or “i” “o” to get a range then “delete” to ripple
versus
all the above with a “option” “a” to select whats in the range or a clip.
just like in Avid, its “T” and then “X”, two simple keystrokes.

Symantics. He didn’t say what you said. He said an in to out (which can be selected many different ways) or in and out (which can be selected the same different ways). Whether you select it with one keystroke or two, you’re still selecting an in and an out, which in turn selects a range from in to out.
I don’t think anyone was mentioning or thinking about the option+A key, which is not needed for a ripple delete, but to copy the contents of in to out.
And yes, you can select with x or t, but only if the area you want happens to be defined by a clip. In that case, in FCP X you can do the same selection, but unfortunately it won’t ripple delete everything above unless you blade.
But the gist is, that now that we have blading through multiple tracks, you can do a similar ripple delete to 7 with roughly the same number of steps. Whereas before the number of steps was directly related to the number of tracks you were deleting and trimming. A real PITA.

Option–A isn’t needed to copy the contents of the in to out range.
-
The trouble is it would be nice to have the option to lock off audio tracks that you did not want bladed or deleted..and I cannot figure out how that would work.
-
It just feels like we are still trying to find workarounds to do some very basic operations rather than just being able to do them.
-
Logically, Solo should accomplish this. Does it?
-
Good call but no it doesn’t…just checked….

Marquee select or command select what you want.
Command-b.

marquee select is new for me but command b a range and then multi blade still chops my music track which I have not selected .
Three steps forwards and still the odd step back!!
