Swapping out wrongly synced footage in timeline – how?

Not only that, it’s really hard to get yourself out of a jam should someone, anyone at any experience level, make a mistake.

I don’t have mixed feelings about that, FCPX should be more flexible. It would also allow for more advanced workflows with relinking and reconnecting to subsets of other media.

The automatic methods of FCP X have not been a problem for me. However, I too wish there were more options with relinking as well as better reporting of what’s actually happening when FCP X is doing things rather than just a percentage number and progress bar.

I can’t help with the relinking part but if you open the background tasks and toggle the arrow you can see what it’s doing.

On a Vimeo export for example you can toggle another arrow and it will show the encoding and uploading status bars.

I am aware of those. Thanks.

Ahh, my mistake. What info would you like to be able to see that isn’t shown?

Source timecode would be nice.
