When you have a small camera on your eventclips that shows the footage only exists on the cam-card, which is typical after an interrupted import. You need to re-IMPORT not re-LINK!!

What do you mean you deleted “effects” in a project folder?
Effects are in the movie-folder under motion temlates.
Do you mean you deleted renderfiles? -
it is interesting to see it being used within very demanding broadcast specifications without any real problems
Well, I delivered my first FCPX edit 2 days after its launch to national television in Austria.
The next was a major 10 days – 3 cams documentary for two major networks here in July 2011. Both networks came back asking what we used to deliver such quality in a very short turnaround time. It was all graded in X.I got slammed here in adobe-cow for claiming positive results in X in the summer of 11. Now it seems people realize they are getting late on the bandwagon.
It is very robust and was since 10.0.3! Is it perfect? No! But no NLE out there is. They all have weaknesses.

Bottom line: FCP7 is a dinosaur and IMO not feasable for professional work anymore unless you
a) have very specific workflow that only FCP7 does ( although I can’t think of any)
B) are paid in hours and your customers haven’t realized you are ripping them off
C) simply ignore modern production-circumstances and stick to what you feel comfortable withFCPX is out for 2 years. With 8 revisions since the first shitstorm against it. Premiere has advanced a lot, AVID is in a new priceclass….. There are no arguments for FCP7 left. It is slow, clumsy, 32-bit and needs a lot of help from Colour and Soundtrack to be taken serious. Tools like that are built into the other Nle’s nowadays.
That’s the bottom line.
The topline: i use FCPX for 23 months now, 22 of those it has been my main choice of NLE. I tried PP, but it seemed a step back ( although a step forward from FCP7). I still get funny oneliners like “but it can’t export more than 2 audiotracks” or “I don’t want it to look for faces” and that tells me Apple is still not marketing this properly. But so far I have yet to see a director or editor who watches me using it , who is not going away with the determination to give it an honest and serious try – and most sticking to it unless one of the above 3 reasons stops them.

It is official: every phone can do more than FCP7!

I have 3 wishes (one was already in before):
1. import right into a keyword collection
2. send to motion
3. colourcoded rolesThere are many others, but these 3 are the top for me.

I agreewith the article in the link.
Once you used FCPX (and used it properly!) it is very hard to come back to CS6 (FCP7 is an absolute dud of a program me now-can´t touch it anymore).We switched very early and went through some of the pains of FCPX´s growing months, but now it is rocksolid and basically does everything I need for my field of work (TV, documentary, commercials, live-productions)

Nice!

If your edit is done you can create a compound or secondary storyline of your audio. Then rearrange the videoclips for another version.

What i heard and read (was not at NAB) they stressed this is NOT an NLE! They are a finishing tool, digging more into the SMOKE market than into NLEs.
You edit in FCPX (or whatever) and finish in R10 with Grade and Titles. It will allow you to tweak the edit, but it won´t have the database like FCPX to handle tons of footage.
Maybe wellscripted and shot ads can be done…..but I doubt you would like to edit a documentary on it. Especially once you got rid of tracks, who would EVER want tracks again?
