[Andrew Richards] “I agree the superfluous animations need an off switch. The chrome was design with a touch-based future in mind, methinks.”
Yes! Just let us switch it off and things would immediately start feeling better. Agree about touch being a driver in this.

[Andrew Richards] “No apology needed. This has become a non-linear conversation!”
LOL!

[Aindreas Gallagher] “And god please don’t mention touch based FCP.”
It’s coming in some form or another. Gird thy loins!
I’d take touch over the silly “Minority Report” UI that I’ve seen held up as the future. Try waving your arms out in front of you for ten minutes, see if they get tired and sore. Now imagine a 12 hour edit day. Bad idea. Though we’d all get arms like Bruce Lee if we did…
A 30″ touch display you work on like a drafting table? I could see that being a bit more practical. But it would still be like running up a sand dune compared to a keyboard and pointer. Touch has a long way to go for serious input-laden tasks.

[Andrew Richards] “True. Two-up only happens when using the Trim tool.”
Hmmm, I’m not seeing it. Is there a preference somewhere I’m missing?
-
You need to make sure you have the box ticked for “Show detailed trimming feedback” in Preferences > Editing. Then when you use the Trim tool explicitly or let it appear as you mouse over an edit, you get a two-up viewer as you engage the tool and use it to ripple, roll, slip, or slide.
It needs to be there all the time when engaging Precision Edit. I’m filing a feedback.

[Andrew Richards] ” I don’t need to see it when I’m not manipulating an edit, like if I’m playing with effects, audio, metadata, lots of other functions of the application. But it ought to appear for editing, and it doesn’t right now.”
agree wholeheartedly.

If you look at the zoom level it’s at 56% – that’s not a two up view it’s zoomed into some split screen footage… I was hopeful…

well its probably just a photoshop error – but the position of the playback controls – and also the video, even blown up, is taking up way too much of the GUI – that’s a two up view alright.
