FCPro Update Wish List
These would be really cool in a future update:
Reconnecting media: having a prompt window that allows you to select
which drives to select, to speed up the process from not unnecessarily
searching other internal drives not used in the project.Accurate Media Manager export/consolidate/copy project and files.
Efx send/receive on each audio track: being able to assign AU (audio unit) limiter to just the dialog track,
compression, eq, whatever…..saving audio mix tweakage time.Dreams can come true.

[S.E. Ball] “Reconnecting media: having a prompt window that allows you to select

[S.E. Ball] “Accurate Media Manager export/consolidate/copy project and files.”
5.1.2 has an updated media manager but rumours are it needs a rewrite from the ground up
[S.E. Ball] “Efx send/receive on each audio track: being able to assign AU (audio unit) limiter to just the dialog track,
compression, eq, whatever…..saving audio mix tweakage time.”Copy and paste attributes doesn’t work for you?

I’d rather not see FCP getting a multi-track audio recorder/mixer interface layer. FCP is an editor. Besides, there is Soundtrack Pro
-
I don’t want a full multi-track mixer – but I’d kill for a Normalize filter in FCP so I don’t have to keep exporting every clip from a given tape to SoundTrack Pro because field audio was recorded low…

Tell Apple! In FCP go to Provide Feedback. They do listen.

Peter,
Regarding reconnecting the media,
where does it allow you to de-select drives in the process????

The funny thing is, is it’s already a multi track mixer, Option 6,
and it comes with some sweet audio efx, it just needs the efx sends/return
button to route them through the channels.I love that we have the existing abilities and the voice over tool.
That extra function would save alot of time exporting and importing.If you want to do alot of audio editing, yes, use an audio editing
program.I don’t use soundtrack because I’m so used to scoring and recording
vocals/editing in Logic Audio Pro.I wouldn’t need to go into Logic for the dialog editing because it’s
so easy in FCPro.Thnx

Ah, just spotted you are running 4.5
Be careful what you wish for, because when the Universal Binaries drop on the mat it may come true 🙂
You can select which disks to search for the media in 5.1 (maybe earlier too)
There is also the option to always reconnect offline mediaPeter

Started in version 5.0!

I’d love to be able to assign different tracks to different colors. It’s a great organizational tool, and can save a LOT of time.

Hi
I guess that its more than Media Manager thay needs the rewrite… 🙁
I guess its the Project file that needs it, or rather an underlying asset database where the status of every element in the project is robustly recorded.The Premiere Pro folk are bemoaning Adobe’s take on media management, which (as I understand it) is hamstrung by PPros XML project file format.
Does FCP fare any better.Sure bits of string with knots in worked fine for the Incas, and heiroglyphs on pottery slabs or walls allowed the Pharaohs to record inventories sufficient to facilitate pyramid construction. but is a modern equivalent – seemingly a vague list – a good enough structure for a Project file?
Every time someone asks ‘why can’t FCP be like old Premiere’, like marking a clip’s Browser icon as soon as it gets put onto a Sequence timeline, or like Shift+ f on a freeze frame not highlighting the constituent source asset(s) in the Browser, the FCP experts say ‘Well it can’t, because the Project doesn’t know which Sequence(s) or even Project(s) you mean it to refer to…’
Similarly all the fuss of speed-changed timeline clips coming up in the Viewer or in EDL/XMLs as some other bit of the clip totally unrelated….
Well software databases can be built well able to correlate such complexities, can’t they? That’s what they do…
Well anywhere else apart from FCP or PPro project files LOL…
