question about compound clips in 10.0.6

[Jeremy Garchow]

[Dave Gage] “Even with the new CC behaviors, I can’t see how the CC would know the difference with copy and paste unless it has some weird compound clip memory associated with the paste”

Can you explain what you mean here?

if you copy and paste a Compound clip, and you change something in one of those compound clips, both compounds will reflect the change.

I think i know what you mean.

If you paste the CONTENTS of a compound, FCPX does not remember that it used to be in a compound clip.

It simply treats it like any copy/paste.

If you make a new compound of that material, it will make a brand new compound.

[Jeremy Garchow] “if you copy and paste a Compound clip”
I’m not copying the whole Compound Clip, only the content within. Sometimes I even just copy and paste the parts from a recent similar Project.

In fact, because I do the same type instruction tutorials over and over again, I’ve recently created a Project Template with a gap clip for the middle content that I can duplicate, re-name, and work on top of. This seems to be the easiest and fastest.

Thanks,
Dave
