nah, the slightest bit of syntax can derail the whole thing.

if your parent comp was named “audio_comp” your new code would be:
temp = comp(“audio_comp”).layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
[temp, temp] -

ok, so I figured this out. Seems when you have the play head over the first frame of a clip in the timeline, and hit replace, what you actually think is the first frame (ON the transition) FCP thinks is the last frame of the clip before. So you get this message. If you do the replace edit command layer in on a clip, you will not get the insufficient media error.
and yes, replace edit is great!

sorry for not being clear. no, replace won’t work here.
Let me explain more clearly.
Lets say I have 3 clips, CLIP A, CLIP B and CLIP C on a timeline.
CLIP A has a transition to CLIP B
CLIP B has a transition to CLIP C
additionally, CLIP B has 5 frames of head and 10 frames of tail.
Now, CLIP B is a rendered CG shot that I want to replace the content of the clip, but preserve the head (5 frames) and tails (10 frames) and also not change the transitions. Is there a way to do this.
Now if you are familiar with After Effects, this is the same functionality as option (or Alt on a PC) draging a new clip from the project window to a clip on the timeline you want to replace. the heads/tails and all attributes are preserved.
I do commercial work on a smoke usually and this is something I do 100 times a day and is pretty straight forward on the smoke, I am hoping it is even easier on FCP, forgive me for the long explanation.

ooops, my bad. I just have been using Particular sooo much I didn’t even notice PI wasn’t for AE as a plugin.

thanks Chris!

Particle Illusion (Combustion’s particle system) is available for AE.
Additionally you might want to look into Trapcode’s Particluar. Nothing else is like it in terms of speed, ease of use and flexibility.

this seems to be bare bones, but is very interesting (and cheap!)
I am going to try to give this a whirl over the next week.

totally agree. I would LOVE more customizability as in Maya, or even FCP with function button placement.
