Unbelievable data loss

I worked with it for 5 weeks now extensively and there are no audioclips randomly merging or jumping above the video. There are also no clips vanishing with me.

Clearly sounds like you have no idea how FCPX works and maybe use wrong keyboardshortcuts!?

[David A fenton]

No, all it means is that you haven’t experience the bugs that have manifested on my system.

[alban egger] “Clearly sounds like you have no idea how FCPX works…

Actually from my perspective this statement would more reflect a heavy dose of assholeness on your part.

FCPX is a high potential product, but there are project conditions that can lead it to melt down.

I’m not a native english speaker, though I like to read a clever way to slap one else just with words.

Haha ok 😉

Hey folks.

Let’s be nice. We are here to help each other.

Sounds like you are having some issues with where things are finding themselves on teh timeline.

Yes. It’s true, you can place audio above video in FCP X, like you can put all the VO tracks above the primary storyline. It’s designed this way.

You might also be seeing the effects of teh magnetic timeline as it will do everything to prevent clip collisions.

Can you post your system specs.

David

I’ve had the same behavior where suddenly I’m hearing audio without seeing any representation of any audio clip in the timeline only to discover it was hiding behind a video clip. I only discovered it after deleting the video clip. Other times I’ve witnessed an audio clip in front of a video clip and I had to reconnect it to get it to behave.

Best,
Geoff

“

exactly. On this particular project I’m working on sometimes all of the sudden 8 or 9 audio clips will do this.

Agreed, though if I’m disrespected online I will hit the bully between the eyes at my discretion.

That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s about an audio clip and video clip occupying the same space, location, XY coordinates or whatever on the main storyline. In other words one is hiding behind the other. Only to be revealed after further clicking around the timeline, or restarting… and then the top one may become translucent and reveal the other one who has been playing hide and go seek.

Definitely a bug, substantially similar to alpha bugs I saw when I was alpha testing Cakewalk Sonar 1.0 when audio and MIDI clips did the same dance.

I still love FCPX 🙂 🙂 🙂 <~~~~ for all those who inexplicably may be be getting defensive and getting ready to type something to the effect that “I’m using it all wrong”

I would try trashing the FCPX preference files.

If you are on osx lion they are hidden and you will have to get a utility to see hidden files.

Start with trashing prefs as that timeline behavior sounds pretty erratic.
