Forward Select Tool in FCP X?

[Gabe Miller]

Thanks. I’m starting to like it more and more.

One thing I miss and am not finding in X is the ability to apply color labels to clips in a collection. I’m thinking it’s probably because they’ll prove to no longer be necessary once I understand the program better, but for now, when making a choice from a collection of more than 5 takes, it’s very helpful to be able to mark my selects with a color, so I’m hoping X maintained this function and I’m overlooking it. Is this possible in X?

Thanks.

No, but it would be great addition. I’d love to be able to color label Roles so that in the timeline, you can tell at a glance what Role is where.

Adobe Premiere has great color label capabilities.

Please send feedback about this. It’s a much requested feature.

Been working with FCP X now for a little over 8 months. Have tried everyone’s combination in this post and it really doesn’t work “If” you have made some of your clips individual storylines. Usually get the MAC “buzz sound when some keystroke is not allowed. The only way to “drag and drop” transitions onto another clip in your timeline is by making those clips “storylines- the “Command G” shortcut. In other words, I have not been able to group move all the clips to the right of your playhead it they are a mix of the following: gap clips, regular clips-(non storyline without that little gray bar over the clip) and storyline clips. Some of my issues I am sure is because our other suite is still FCP 7 (you know budgets, can’t replace everything all at once) and still have to use FCP 7 60% to 40% FCP X projects due to the makeup of our archives and long-standing projects from FCP 7. My friend who only know FCP X makes “COMP” clips of EVERYTHING and puts EVERYTHING only on the magnetic timeline. I realize its super easy to move everything to the right or left of the playhead then. Yes, I still “stack” most projects like I was still on FCP 7

Sorry to jump on an old thread, but just FYI – FCPX Hacks offers this functionality:

CONTROL+OPTION+COMMAND+LEFT will select everything to the left of the playhead.

CONTROL+OPTION+COMMAND+RIGHT will select everything to the right of the playhead.

I don’t quite understand the difference between these key stroke combinations….

This forward select shortcut (press “shift/alt/down” to selects all clips to the right. or “shift+alt+down” to select all clips to the left.) is a new one on me but I tried i and it doesn’t seem to work for me??
