The new way of editing

[Craig Seeman]

Fit to Fill is a speed change. Alway has been in FCP.

Replace is something else.
Replace, Replace from Start, Replace from End, Replace and add to Audition.
No Replace from playhead though.

It’s replace in the name only. And it ripples! Useless crap. They screwed up Overwrite too by the way. Haven’t you noticed?

[Craig Seeman]

Please read the entire thread.
Replace is there. Fit to fill is a bit awkward though since it requires Connected Clip then changing speed so it’s a couple of steps.

Nothing has been “taken away” as this is all new code. Many things haven’t been added yet.

[Christopher Travis] “Find it hard to understand why they would ditch it.”

It hasn’t been ditched. This is new code. It hasn’t been implemented . . . yet.

I saw the potential in CoreData right when they started to talk about it developing Tiger. Not so sure about AVFoundation. Too many changes along the road — Quartz, CoreVideo, QuickTimeX. Still no higher bit depth display and apparently no baseband video out after all work.

[Craig Seeman] “Please read the entire thread.”

It would be nice if you followed your own advice. FCPX “Replace” isn’t Replace we’re talking about.

[Misha Aranyshev]

Oh, sure. They had time to implement two half-baked flavors of overwrite and half a dozen of “repalces” but didn’t have time to implement stuff people actually use?

[Michael Aranyshev] “It’s replace in the name only. And it ripples! “

This really shows you haven’t used it or aren’t expressing yourself accurately. Neither Replace from Start nor Replace from End ripple.

[Michael Aranyshev] “They screwed up Overwrite too by the way.”

D key works fine for me. You don’t seem to be able to articulate the problem.

[Craig Seeman]

[Michael Aranyshev] “sn’t Replace we’re talking about.”

Once again you don’t describe things accurately at all. Replace from Playhead which is ONE aspect of Replace.

[Christopher Travis]

ok, it seems like I am definitely going to have to just get stuck into this myself. Despite the testimony of about 4/5 learned professionals I’m still none the wiser as to whether the function I require is in the program.
