[Jeremy Garchow] “It looks like that the ranges that are held are limiting the range if he wants to tag a clip (not a range) with a keyword.

So he has to unrange, select the whole clip, tag the keyword on the whole clip, and then rerange a selection.”

Haven’t tried it yet but sounds like you’re right. Even so, I don’t understand what his problem is. If a PIOP is set, it makes sense that that would be the marked range for key wording (or sub clipping in other NLEs). If you want the entire clip, either select all or unmark I and O. Seems normal to me. Am I missing something?

Responsiveness of titles is much improved

Not really, David.

I think it just speaks to the fact that there are always editors who have developed “muscle memory” that really want things to work the way they’re accustomed to. And then there are editors who didn’t come to X with as strong a set of preconceptions. What we’re seeing here is that over X’s brief life, there are some editors who have developed the same “muscle memory” about how X has operated from version 1 – and they’re having to re-learn things as it evolves.

Sorta reminds me of back during Legacy V1. In FCP’s very first version, JKL transport controls weren’t supported. I got used to doing timeline transport using the non-standard keys – then had to take a couple of weeks to re-train myself when they finally implemented JKL to accommodate the AVID folks.

Kinda the same deal here, I think.

Also the new Media Import window is VERY useful

Or color-coded roles. Bummer. I had high hopes. Maybe next time.

I was hoping for that too, but there are a lot of other much needed changes so as you say hopefully next time.

Apple have clearly been listening, let’s hope it continues

Wait, I started with FCP 1.2 in January of 2000. You’re telling me in 1.0 and 1.1 (a mere 3-6 months earlier they didn’t have jkl? That would’ve been a deal breaker for me! You’re sure?

Steve, do you have QT file with an embedded Reel ID? If so can you tell me if FCPX 10.0.6 now populates the Reel field? Any file captured with FCP7 will do assuming Reel was entered prior to capture. Alexa files will do as well.

Fingers crossed…

Agreed. This is a sizable update. A mixer and clearly visible cue positions are a big part of what I need to get on board. That and timecode/sync markers. Maybe Logic X will address some of the audio handling. Who knows?

[John Davidson] “They got rid of the video animations selection from within the clip that I constantly click on – yay!”

I’m with you there. I hated the “feature”.
I wish they had focused on the color board a bit and delivered key framing for masks…shutting off corrections without having to go back to the inspector.
But overall it looks like a nice evolution.
