Skimmer/Zoom bug?

[Tom Wolsky]

Quite a few reports of the playhead flying back to the beginning of the project for random reasons.

All the best,

Tom

I can also confirm this behaviour on 10.0.1,10.7.1.
It´s not happening on my 10.0.1, 10.6.8 setup.

Yes to both (I’m glad you brought it up) on all versions of FCPX I’ve tried.

ZOOMING
Specifically, when I zoom to a certain level the play head jumps to the start (as does the whole view of the timeline) and then the playhead gets ‘stuck’ about 2 inches behind the mouse cursor when skimming – like it’s lagging behind.

Zooming in or out one step resolves this, as does navigating out of the project and back in.

Also, when I click the + or – buttons to zoom in and out of the timeline, it’s hit and miss whether they work. It normally takes 3-4 clicks to activate a zoom. Need to check if this happens with keyboard short cuts.

SKIMMING
Skimming randomly disables itself at regular intervals despite the skimming button being selected. Deselecting and re-selecting the button doesn’t resolve the issue. Navigating out of the project and back in sometimes does but I usually need to quit.

I get this all the time and it is driving me round the bend, so much so, I am going back to FCP7 for my next project, reluctantly I must add, as I love the concept and interface of FCPX but just too time consuming.. Anyone got a fix for this yet 🙁
