The Honda Ad Timeline
-
I hear you on some of these points, but looking at the subject of this thread, X allows you to put the audio on top of video making it easier for him to work on the two scenes with less scrolling.
If he had put the audio from the second scene below all the audio from the first scene in another NLE it would put the video and audio from that scene even farther away.
The way he did it they were close enough for him to lasso and v quickly.
He could jump back and fourth between the scenes with less scrolling. But we could ask him directly since he is on here.

‘Seeing’ the audio is almost the least important of the point here. Splitting them out was a bonus. But I’d love roles based organisation (not even colours) like I described in the article. That could be amazing.
I have no idea how I would have cut the 2 narratives simultaneously without clip connections. Moving shits about would have been too slow and un organised.

That’s an audio term I’ve never heard 🙂

Ha! Sorry. Shots. Moving shots.

OK.. a nanosecond! lol I was referring to using the index to quickly highlight stuff. I’ll give you that tracks can make it easier to see the organization of an entire sequence at a glance. I practice, it makes no difference to me though as I’m usually concerned with what’s about to move under the playhead. or need to quickly mute/solo a role. Not that there isn’t room for improvement, but in actual practice it’s really a non-issue. And to mute or solo I don’t even need to look at the timeline, so that’s faster. 😉

No, just agreeing with your statement (via Google translate!)

[Thomas Carter] “The director and do did this music video together just before Honda, it was film too and looks amazing!

I loved the looks in the Honda commercial, and this video is stunning.
Cheers. Thanks for the response and link.

[David Cherniack] “That’s a step that a fixed track editor does not have to do to see an overview. She can see it in one glance.”
That’s not true. A fixed track NLE editor just has to do it at the front end. In Avid, you have to assign audio to certain tracks manually as you edit and also continue to keep that audio organized throughout the edit process for the “at a glance” notion to work.
In FCPX however, no track assignments are necessary. And with one step, a particular role can be highlighted and understood.
That’s not to say roles wouldn’t benefit by having color coding or auto aligning, but the visual metaphor isn’t a mess as some might think.
