Loss of Timeline Movement feedback in FCP 5.1.2
Anybody else seeing this?
Grab a video clip in your timeline and simply slide it back and forth. You’ll see a ghost image of it moving around in the timeline so you know where it’s moving. Essentially FCP is giving you immediate feedback as you move the clip around.
Now zoom all the way in on the timeline. Move the clip around. Are you still getting feedback in the timeline? I don’t. In fact, I have to zoom out 7 times in order to get the feedback working again.
Never saw this behavior before until FCP 5.1.2. This is on my older G5 Dual 2.0 as I’m waiting for my Mac Pro to get back from repair.
Just curious if anyone else is seeing this as it’s not correct behavior. You should always get feedback no matter how far you’re zoomed in on the timeline.

Yes, it’s happening here as well, but I only have to zoom out 1 step for it to work properly.
It works on 5.1.1 when zoomed all the way in.

Yeah, I need to test our G5 Quad with this tomorrow. 5.1.2 was the first I noticed this and I’m not sure I saw it on the Mac Pro.

Running 5.1.2 on a dual 2.5GHz G5 I get the “feedback” at ALL zoom levels – even all the way in.

I’ve had this problem before ever since version 4.5. Not all the time, and a restart will fix it, but the one thing different, is that I have to zoom in further to get the feedback, not zoom out. As long as I restart FCP, it’ll go away. I do notice that it’ll happen more with a project that has a lot, and I mean a lot of content (footage, graphics, audio, etc), every so often it’ll happen in smaller projects, too.
