2-Point Edit. Unable to get it to work
Tip 34 from the excellent tip series at LAFCPUG.org:
https://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_fcpx_tips4.html
This describes the 2-point edit. Can’t get it to work. What am I missing?
It seems that it couldn’t make the edit because how can it know which clip to affect unless you target that clip? Seems it would be problematic when the playhead is over two or more stacked clips. Still, even targeting I can’t get it to work.

An overwrite edit will only execute to the selected storyline, either the primary storyline, or a selected additional storyline.
All the best,

Wish I could delete a message when I realize that the problem is a short between the headphones. 🙁
When I first bought FCPX I changed the Overwrite command to F10 like it is in FCP7. It seemed like a good idea then but I forgot about it and now wondered why the ‘D’ overwrite command didn’t work as the tutorial said it would.
I should have followed my previous philosophy of never changing the keyboard (except to add something to an empty key). Some people advocated making FCP7 act like an Avid but I resisted that, feeling that it would make it difficult to follow tutorials. Yet, I didn’t listen to myself and changed the Overwrite command in FCPX and now its come back to bite me in the back end.
Thanks for your reply. It made me realize my wayward ways.
