some great things and some not so great things
as the software is out for a little longer than a week now theres more people figuring out and posting workflows/workarounds
really liked this

its for applying an effect across a section of the timeline, probably makes up for the bad copy and paste effects, but very useful for working with things like colour correction or mixed aspect ratio or blanking errorshttps://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/453-michael-wohl-demos-editing-and-trimming-and-functions-in-fcpx-at-the-lafcpug
really liked this, he says its easy to loose your marked in and outs, so mark with f for favourite.
trim to end or start is fast!copy and paste effects seems to make no sense to me, it pastes everything
Color board can have presets but they are hidden away
in general, would be nice if we could turn of the imovie style presets, think I will be busy in motion building using templates
metadata for “audio use” sounds fascinating, why no routing of audio to enable bussing and proper mixing
the audio transition added when adding visual transitions is one that a lot of people are onto, the workaround, trim by a field or subframe
I have been thinking the workflow for subtitles is use secondary storyline and add edit, unsure how you keep the clip you are adding edit selected to allow the easily, it keeps going back to the primary storyline.
you cant link aperture to FCPX properly, had noticed this, not impressive, you can just drag the image to invoke an import into events browser. plus RAW stills dont come across

[Ben Scott] “the audio transition added when adding visual transitions is one that a lot of people are onto, the workaround, trim by a field or subframe”
That’s an awkward workaround. A much easier one is to simply expand the clips on both side of the edit and apply the transition to the video only. It’s that simple. Much less kludgy.
I think many of the “workaround” will be reworked as people become more familiar with the program. The problem is that in many cases there are easier ways than have already been suggested and there’s no way for people to know that an easier way has been discovered.
