FCPX 10.3 Bugs

[Mark Linthicum]

These don’t sound like bugs, it sounds like you just are possibly not familiar with how things work?

[Eric Sternberger] “- when you apply a transition to a clip in the secondary storyline, it will apply it to the beginning & the end of the clip simultaneously (arrrgghhh!)”

Only if you drag a transition to the whole clip or have the whole clip selected when you use the transition command ⌘T. just select the end of a clip when applying a transition.

[Eric Sternberger] “- after applying a transition to a clip in secondary, the clip cannot be moved anymore(maybe this is intentional, but it is annoying)”
If I understand you issue correctly, you need to select the top bar or storyline to move the clip with its transitions.

[Eric Sternberger] “- when you edit Text in a Titel and hit Backspace it will delete the whole Titel, not the Text (this pi…. me off)”
This is an issue for me but i now edit text in the inspector on the right, not in the viewer window, This is the best place to edit text, If you copy text from another app and paste it in the inspector on the right it will keep the formatting you have set as well. If you paste it in the viewer it will keep the formatting of the source.

hi

which OWC breakout box do you have? OWC Thunderbolt 2 I guess? do you directly connect the monitor via HDMI?

best regards

[Lutz Leonhardt] “which OWC breakout box do you have? OWC Thunderbolt 2 I guess? do you directly connect the monitor via HDMI?”

I’m not sure to whom this question was addressed. I use an OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock with my MBP, however, I don’t use the HDMI out to a monitor on that system. I do use a CalDigit Thunderbolt 2 dock at another location with a 2013 MP. It is connected via HDMI on the CalDigit dock to a Panasonic flat panel display.

Hello Oliver, thanks for the answer

My question was about the a/v output of FCPX. Gives the OWC thunderbolt 2 device the possibility to directly monitor the a/v output of FCPX on a monitor connected to the HDMI port? I have an iMac 27″ with thunderbolt 2.

I haven’t specifically tried this combination. But in the case of the CalDigit dock connected to the 2013 Mac Pro, it adds an additional desktop output. So on that machine I see three displays simultaneously – two Apple displays connected on their mini display port plugs into the Mac, plus a third display, which is the Panasonic 42″ screen connected via HDMI on the dock. In FCPX, I can select the Panasonic as my a/v output, allowing me to see actual video (not a viewer full screen) on that screen. Audio is routed separately.

thank you, Oliver, again, for your kind reply. I understand that I probably can connect a HDMI Monitor with a OWC thunderbolt dock for FCPX a/v output. I always follow your digitalfilms-site.

best regards

I’ve got a new bug

Drop a clip inot a project and export it fine.

Replace that clip in the project timeline and export it and it expot the orginal project and not the one with the new clip in it.

Weird.

[Fabrizio D’agnano]

The worst bug for me is pixelation and artifacts when importing from some Canon camcorders like the HF-G10. It’s really annoying, since I own and use a few of them. It’s definitely a problem with the latest update, everything was just fine before, and it’s FCPX related. So I have to use ClipWrap to transcode the .mts files before I can import them. But I loose metadata like date and time of creation, and I don’t have to tell what that means when working with more than one cam. If I use the .mts files dragging them to the events from the finder the artifacts will be gone most of the times, but everything will lag and slow down to almost a halt. The second thing that I’d call a bug is that the fields in the browser will randomly but often not keep their position, so if I add “Scene” and place “Notes” next to name, sometimes I will find them in the new position, sometimes not. But it was the same with the previous release.
