The new way of editing
-
[Craig Seeman] “Neither Replace from Start nor Replace from End ripple.”
But Replace does.
[Craig Seeman] “D key works fine for me.”
Set one IN and two OUTs. See what happens.
-
[Craig Seeman] “Replace from Playhead which is ONE aspect of Replace.”
Which is one that’s missing. Which is one that’s really so different from overwrite to be worth of a separate command.
-
[Craig Seeman] “Nothing has been “taken away” as this is all new code. Many things haven’t been added yet.”
Many functions haven’t been “taken away” from the new code, but they have been “taken away” from the latest and only version of FCP now available.
A month ago you could buy a version of FCP that could perform those functions, now you can’t.

[Michael Aranyshev] “But Replace does.”
So one has the option to use Replace to ripple or Replace from Start to not ripple. Choice is good.
[Michael Aranyshev] “Set one IN and two OUTs. See what happens.”
And how have you managed to set an Out without an In, in FCPX?
You can use either the Playhead or the Skimmer as an edit point in the Timeline. -
Yes, it’s missing and I’ve requested its future inclusion in my Feedback.
FCPX is incomplete. We know that already. Given it’s not a dead product we might reasonably assume many features will be added.
I can certainly see why they have to do some strategic thinking about Replace from Playhead. The best way to execute that would mean seeing both frames simultaneously. Since they don’t have Viewer/Canvas anymore they probably have to implement a 2-up as done with trimming and some equivalent for multi-cam as well.

You and Craig are both right depending on the duration of the source clip or range you have selected. If the source clip range is shorter than the target clip in the Timeline, it will try to fill by extending the source clip if source frames are available and there is no ripple.
According to Help:
Note: In the case of Replace from Start and Replace from End, if the source clip selection is a range selection with a shorter duration than that of the target clip and there is sufficient extra media, Final Cut Pro extends the duration of the source selection to match the target clip duration. The resulting storyline duration does not change.But if that condition is not met, there can be a ripple, whether the replace is made by dragging and selecting from the pop-up or via keyboard shortcuts.

And this will change with time. Your alternatives have already been discussed ad nauseum.

[Craig Seeman] “And how have you managed to set an Out without an In, in FCPX?”
Bingo! I didn’t manage. No way. Thats’ why they had to come up with Shift-D to emulate this scenario. The problem is Shift-D doesn’t work right too.

How is that not working? -
It only works with playhead. You can have marks on either source or master, not both.
