The Honda Ad Timeline

[Jeremy Garchow]

[Oliver Peters] “Just curious. Is there a way to force an audio connected clip to edit in place above the storyline without a manual move from underneath to above?”

No, not unless you are replacing a clip that’s already above.

And, there’s no way to stick audio to anything other than the primary, so no matter what, both sets of audio for both of these stories are “stuck” to whatever is in the primary (which is the night time scene in this case).

Yep. I’d also like to see the ability to connect to secondaries. Based on the patent posted by Alex, it seems that’s something we may see as well…

I think that FCPX was very well suited for this Honda project, in more ways than one, and I think the FCPX timeline offers tremendous possibilities. Let’s hope that Apple does too. 🙂

I’d be very surprised if they didn’t. 🙂

Ohhh…Video is just that solid strip in the middle? Got it…that is tidy.

Audio on both sides…upper and lower? Doesn’t that get confusing? Or is that secondary or other weird stuff you FCX people do?

[Shane Ross] “Doesn’t that get confusing?”

Normally, yes, although there are some interesting uses for it. In the case of this edit, the editor was cutting two stories that had to match shot for shot and each had their own sfx and music. By placing one story’s audio above the primary and the other below, he was able to essentially have two completed, comparable edits in the same timeline simultaneously without getting confused about which music track or sfx went with which story. Pretty impressive really.

Shane, you should check out the video (on a desktop, not mobile) here: hondatheotherside.com

And then read the write up on fcp.co

Then it might make more sense.

[Andy Neil] “[Shane Ross] “Sorry, but that looks like a very messy timeline. I can see audio layered like that, but video?”

I don’t think you’re looking at it right, Shane. That IS audio layered on both the top and bottom. There are only two layers of video. The primary (night scene) and the connected day time story below.”

I was confused at first. I was thinking, “Why so many layers of video?” Looked at it again and realized it was audio, first time I seen where audio can be placed anywhere in the timeline.

Very cool – thanks for posting.

It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.
