[Jamie Franklin] “The elimination of a click though? I can skim through any media with the source viewer. I’m forced to click or slog through jkl keys but it’s not a feature that’s “missing” anywhere else…just the click”
That’s what you might think, and I wasn’t sure when I first started using FCPX, but the benefit becomes clear when you are working on real projects with it, getting through hours of footage is noticeably quicker.

I found it more annoying than anything. Is there a way to turn it off? lol
My primary annoyance with this gui is all that automation…running the mouse over a clip and hearing weidhwuiefhurehgfireug started to grate.
It would be a nice surprise if it was a custom feature.

“Yes you can turn both audio and video skimming off, and I did when I first started using it, but now I leave video skimming on

Thanks. I think there are a lot of variables here but if I were to state them it wouldn’t be very classy, so I think it’s best to say that it will be interesting to see this thing play out. Thanks for sharing your opinion. 😉

I don’t get it Jamie, the logic is clear, what are you missing? Abandoning ten years of legacy projects, completely retraining staff, and changing the vernacular of 110 years of editing terminology, just to avoid that click and a few clip collisions seems completely logical.

My read is that Jamie is actually defending legacy here. I think he’s saying that skimming is not a “missing” feature, that it’s easily accomplished in the source viewer with a single click. That’s my experience as well.

And a nice resizable window making match framing that much easier…
Seems a lot to give up for a missing click…
Dave was just being facetious

I was being a just little facetious David. 🙂
BTW, I met your bro Dan the other night, who came all the way to the LAFCPUG just to see me guruing. For the record, and I’m sure Dan will attest, I never said one word in jest about FCP X to the group.
