How to make FCPX generators act as normal footage, so you could trim, dived with blade, etc.
Is it possible to make FCPX generators act as normal footage, so you could trim, dived with blade, etc.
We shot infront of a green screen, with two tractions points and 1-5 minuets takes.
Very basic , little zoom in and out, some small camera motion on a tripod.I make a FCPx generator with two point Match Move and drop zon for the background.
In FCPX, if I want to trim and cut with blade it doesn’t act as a regular footage, it shrinks, stretches or divides in two clones but always from first to last frame.
The work around is to put it in a compound clip.
Have tried with build in and out markers.
Is it another way?

Adding a Loop end marker would force the duration to be fixed when trimming in FCP X.

Better but I can just trim and blad “out” point, if i change the “in” point it always strarts on frame 1.

You can make a compound clip, then simply cut or retime that. works very well. I do that usually when I need to change the speed of certain animations, and don’t feel like opening motion again.

I just realized that I had read your first post too quickly. You’ve of course already used compounds.
