[Simon Ubsdell] “And if I wanted to do an actual replace edit as it is commonly know, that would be easy, right?”
Of course not. But I know you know that, Simon so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by playing dumb. Aindreas was talking about overwriting connected clips and I was simply trying to show a method that might give him what he’s looking for that might be overlooked by most people not used to how FCPX does replace edits.
X doesn’t have the ability to do playhead sync replace edits. It’s a pet peeve of mine actually, but it also has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I’ll tell you what, I wish to hell that Avid could do an FCPX style replace edit because I find that I need that kind of edit often.

[Andy Neil] “You don’t have to look at the connecting anchors. Go to the timeline display options (button in bottom right of project window). Uncheck the Show Connections box.”
that, as they say, was a deliberate conversational trap. I said default. i’m well aware of the fake neat view. it doesn’t do much of anything – worse, it hides the reality.
why would I hide the underlying lunatic reality? I have less clue what zany linked stuff is going on at that point surely.
Do you commonly edit with all the interesting connection points turned off? Isn’t that like blind man’s bluff?[Andy Neil] ” It only works on a single clip, but it works fine.”
Is that an advertisement? I have a stack of three connected b-roll clips say – what do I do now? oh right – i go into a new modality, a secondary storyline. or perhaps everything disappears into a compound nest. that’s always a fantastic workaround.
I get it works – i just can’t believe people think it works.

No, you keep reading where I say that your replace clip can lay atop all connected clips you want. If the replace clip is above the others, those others don’t show up.

Fair enough if you don’t like it or get on with it, but Is it REALLY so hard to believe that not everyone works in the same way as you?

Yes. Finally. If you need tracks – whether you want them or not – then FCPX is not for you. I NEED TRACKS. To conform with any number of delivery systems. Jesus Hairy Christ! Who, that delivers programming in the real world, does not see this?

This is an interesting comment. Can you explain what specific delivery systems require you to have tracks?

I know, it’s terrible, without tracks I can’t deliver anything? If only FCPX had tracks I could finally join the “real world”

And to finally put this to bed (he says like anyone will listen) You can do ANYTHING in X that you can do in 7 or Avid or Premiere CC (execpt for multi cam in CC) that you can do in any NLE. The problem here is that Apple thinks they are driving the post production debate, And from my perspective they should just give up. Someone tell me who is delivering anything (and yes I”ll take crocodile or housewife stuff) started and finished on FCP X. Anyone? Bueller?

yes, but andy the stupid never ends.
these are all floating objects in the snapshot – I have no real edit anchors or editorial space outside them. i can’t cut in on the second level – to see what a short sharp clip does there before the third clip above it and to the right in time kicks in, because there is no real editing environment – all new elements will simply grow above.
this is all just made up object orientated stupidity.
apple have overdone the object identity of VA items – they have removed the surrounding environment because the engineers thought that was clever and would focus minds on the role of the elements.
I am inclined to think that was actually stupid in the long run.

Really Andy. Are you kidding me? Tracks? Who needs those in the real world?
