Clips in bin arragement question
I work primarily with the large icon bin view (though Apple has obviously re-defined the concept of “large”!). I want the clips laid in my bin in source TC order, but the “view-arrange” menu option only gives me the possibility to arrange either by clip name or duration. I’ve tried going into list view, ordering my clips by source TC and them going back to large icon bin view but no go…
Any way to do this?

Afraid not. Good feature request, been asked before, but nothing’s happened yet.
All the best,

Darn! I’ve got a little pad on my desk where I’m creating a very practical wish list. And I’d absolutely love for those poster frames to be bigger…
Another one of my major beefs concerns the log and capture naming scheme. Aside from being able to name clips while digitizing, I would love the names of the newly generated media files to be dependent on timecode as opposed to clip name. That is a big stumbling block in my work flow.
What’s the most effective way to submit requests it to Apple?
Thanks again… And to think that sitting at my desk this morning in Rome Italy I get such a quick reply all the way from California. Kind of makes up for the disappointing answer. Long live the creative cow!

Feedback in the Final Cut Pro menu.
Actually I’m in Hartsville, SC at the moment.
All the best,

> What’s the most effective way to submit requests it to Apple? < Money. If you look at the evolution of FCP from v1.0 to present, you will detect no logical progression or rationality behind the list of junk that's been added or the list of broken stuff that's never been fixed. We have no idea what drives FCP's design team but it certainly is not the needs and desires of editors like you and me. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Like your suggestions, Kim. And Bog, you’re far too paranoid. They DO care about us, they really do…:-)

OK, I’ll do as Jerry suggested and send them through the “feedback” menu option.
I’ll add:
– easier way to delete markers (like in Motion with a puff of smoke)
– timeline that follows CTI
– fix of a little bug I found: if I have two sequence timelines open and I drag one of the timelines onto the other screen to have them side by side, then if I click on the timeline of the moved sequence the canvas doesn’t reespond but rather stays stuck on the picture of the timeline that is on the same physical screen. (Gosh, that sound more complicated in writing than in doing!)Hopefully Apple will do something. These are very basic requests that would surely help lots of editors out there.
