FCP X and Premiere Pro CS

This is still one of my biggest gripes with FCPX…and one that should be at the top of the list to fix!!!
-
Most of those effects can be opened in motion and the background source input be removed. I’ve only don’t it once or twice so I forget the particulars. But yeah, I keep asking myself “who would want the background included?”

Once upon A Time is pretty much all VFX Compositing!

Andreas…the simple tasks you are talking about is absurd! You can very well do what you say you cant! YOU ARE WRONG AND LOUD! You are just one of many who really do not know the tools and how they work in FCPX!
So pay attention…please!!! So you have a primary video clip in the Primary Track…audio effects and such placed a the bottom. I can place one 2 or 3 or 4 or….however many clips above it. So lets say I have 3 clips above it, Primary being number one! Every clip covering the primary will be the “seen” clip. So lets say clip 4 at the top looks good but I wan to lay something right in the middle. I with the time it will take you to read it can, right click on clip 4, and select create storyline. Mark my in and out points. So far just 4 mouse clicks. Select the Position tool, and grab the selected clip or range within a clip and place it right over top of the third clip and its done!!!! So what is there in this process that you do not understand unless you did not explain your situation clearly or just want to disagree and diss FCPX??
And once that operation is done, I can slip any of the video using the trim tool without having any synching issues. I can also trim any of the 2 edit points on the fly! Now I challenge you to turn on your machine and try what I just described and come back here and apologize for causing so much grief to folks who are really trying to help you! Your assertion that FCPX has some kind of hierarchy that you have to fight with is in fact opposite of what FCPX really does. It takes away the constraints and unless you take the time and a few dollars to learn FCPX and all of it’s not so evident features on the surface you are really unqualified to make such assertions. But you don’t want to do you??? -

hey sure I’m only rabble rousing. no harm once a month or so – I very rarely criticise the software these days. but as is detailed above – X has no true replace edit, and you were forced into secondary storyline modality to get to where you wanted to go in the response you gave.
Andy Neil knows the software like the back of his hand and he conceded – in the constraints I set out – the software can’t perform what I would view as a basic editing action – because it builds vertically from the primary. having to create modalities like a secondary storyline is a bit tortured basically.
as to say – what is a secondary storyline other than tortured methodology to get around intrinsic limitations? And if I’m always thinking about the ceiling over my head, and when its going to require modalities like a secondary storyline, then I think I’m in a stupid timeline.
ok – not a stupid editing system – tons of it is whizz bang and i own my copy. but i refuse to cotton the timeline. that is the thing i harp on about.

“How’s it any different from choosing “add track” in a tracked NLE?
[Aindreas Gallagher] “as to say – what is a secondary storyline other than tortured methodology to get around intrinsic limitations?”
Um… an additional track? 🙂

Hey, me neither. My response to you just popped into my head, not trying stir anything up. 🙂 Though our new voice here seems to be intent on something. lol
