    As earlier FCP users know, breaking the synch between video and audio created a handy red indicator of the synch disparity.

    I appears that doing the same thing in FCPX gives you no indication of the synch difference.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks,

    Lance

    No you’re not missing something….We are all missing something…no sync warnings I am afraid. I think they intended everyone to use magnetic timeline feature the whole time and not want to manually position clips / audio.

    You would hope that’s very high on the list of functionality to reinstate.

    Cheers,

    Not that it’s the most elegant of work arounds, but perhaps the 1st thing to do when beaking apart audio from video is to add a marker to both video and audio on the same frame so you can line back up if required.

    I’m just curious…once you have your audio and video synched, why would you want to break the synch? Why not just nest them into a compound clip and be done with it?

    Gosh there are many reasons for doing so. To make a sound that followed some dialog on the track happen sooner or later, for instance.

    Then you might later discover that you want to synch back up with some later dialog.
