How exactly has FCX improved or expedited your workflow?

[Jeremy Garchow] “I think, and I could be wrong, that if you have a range selected, it will bonk. You have to deselect a range, select a whole clip (so it’s a clean bounding box, and not a ‘range’ bounding box with the little handles on the left and right side), and then fcpx will match frame to the Browser. Even if the whole clip is selected, but it’s a range selection, it will bonk. That’s how it works for me, anyway.”
I’ve tried every possible combination. Seems random. Of course, the complication is that all of these clips have split edits and embedded double-system sound (via SnLX, not Sync Clips). Although you would think if that was the issue, it simply would never work.

Well I am obviously missing something. I park the playhead in the timeline, hit shift F and it takes me to the precise frame within the range selection from the clip that I have identified in the timeline.
No??

Correct. It does work this way, when it works correctly. Which it isn’t on one of my jobs. Regardless, it does not automatically place an in-point at the matched frame, like most other NLEs. It also does that at the Event level, not at the Collection level. That’s because there is no “bin” structure. I get that, but it’s still a nuisance when you are dealing with 2,000 or more clips.

Ah OK. This is a treat that lies in wait. So far I have been blessed.
Thanks.

I have the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it bonks.

If Match Frame had been a problem for me I would have dumped this software long ago, so fundamental is it to my workflow.
What do you do for a workaround if it’s not playing cricket?
By the way here in the UK Bonk means Shag!

I’m usually not looking for a match frame per se, but simply using the function to easily locate the file. When it doesn’t work, I find it manually or use the filtering feature to search for the file name.

Maybe that’s the problem, bonking (shagging) at my computer is getting in the way. It works most of the time when I really need it. When it doesn’t’ it’s really easy to find footage in X.
