color clips or tracks in FINAL CUT PRO – like Walter Murch did
Hey,
I had been asking for this for years now..but I caught Walter Murches talk at the LAFCPUG on DVD tonight…and he shows a frame grab of his Final Cuc Pro timeline and the audio clips are color coded….
THE WHOLE CLIP is a specific color not just a little splotch…the whole traditional green audio clip is now red or blue or orange….
Has anyone else seen this and how can it be done???????

I was at that meeting and noticed that too. Failed to ask that question though…and another, about THE CONVERSATION. What footage did they intend to shoot but couldn’t, and what did they shoot to bridge the two scenes, and what two scenes were they?
I have been wanting to color code my tracks for a while.

The only way I know to color code is to use the label function, choosing an appropriate color.

i bet he has a special final cut pro version

Who does he think he is….Walter Murch or something?
Yeah… I missed the meeting so on the DVD they don’t show the Jarhead footage examples.
But there it is…. Entirely color coded tracks and I kept saying ” Somebody ask him” but it never happened.
I’m so disappointed in you guys 🙂

[mike] “the audio clips are color coded”
maybe a little post-post work in Photoshop, just to make the graphics stand out better for the presentation?

Walter will speaking to us at our big FCPUG shindig at Macworld Jan 11. Tickets go on sale Dec 6 at 5:00PM PST
So if you want to find out how he color coded his clips and the deal with the Conversation, pay close attention to the lafcpug web site which will give info on where to buy the tickets. Event will sell out fast.https://www.lafcpug.org/macworld.html

Perhaps…
It may appear after making a frame grab and looking in photoshop…that they used LABELS but coincidentally the name of the clip and the clip/box size work out to look mostly cover.
On review I can see a fringe of orginal green audio color….BUT….perhaps NOT.
Anyway… we could really use this feature above and beyond the simple labels in FCP now.

Speaking of colour coded tracks, how about some kind of colour on the target tracks that are connected. Especially working with multiple audio and video tracks. I’m going blind looking for that two pixel gap agianst grey between two grey target trcks.
