[Mark Snow] “Looks really that I would have to change my editing with X and that besides me, nobody cares to ease in Scale-transformations inside their NLE… ;)”
If you want to do ease in scale transformations, use the Ken Burns effect inside the crop feature. It’s pretty much idiot proof.

A basic lens flare can be found in the generators area of the library. However, for high quality lens flares, you’ll need a plugin like mFlare or something.

It was kinda hard to tell by flipping through the images, but the Compressor with no auto gamma seemed pretty close to the original. You can also add a gamma adjust in the inspector so if the gamma shift is consistent throughout your footage, you can just create a preset with the gamma shift accounted for and get your pro res lt.

[Steve Connor] “Don’t you mean Final Cut Pro XXX?”
That really puts a new spin on the Audition Feature.

I just haven’t noticed this behavior as “random”. As far as I’ve noticed, the placement was consistent to the position of other connected clips in the timeline and the overall length of the clip you’re placing in the timeline.

[Oliver Peters] “the most disconcerting timeline behavior is the tendency for connected clips to randomly move in a vertical re-arrangement whenever you add new and overlapping connected clips.”
Can you give an example of this, Oliver? Of the random nature I mean? I don’t really see this with my work so I’m curious what this means.

Man, wouldn’t it be great to have at least 3D oulines? Just make fill unavailable and let us place bezier points in 3D space. I’m probably overlooking something which makes it impossible, but a guy can dream can’t he?

[Sandeep Sajeev] “I found that you need to click and hold before holding down Shift. Is that how it works for you? I find it pretty fiddly to do this with a Pen. Also finding it easier to move along X as opposed to Y.”
I know what you mean, but it’s actually easier if you approach the move with less temerity. It may seem a bit counter-intuitive, but grabbing the clip and then holding SHIFT works pretty consistently. Motion needs to know which direction you’re headed so it can constrain the move.

[Michael Angelo] “However, before actually committing that role to any clip, it would be cool if it was editable.”
It is. As long as you haven’t assigned the role to a clip, you can change the name of it or delete it entirely without issue.
Regarding the shortcuts, it would be nice if they designed something along the line of the keyword shortcut solution. A group of shortcuts like CMD+OPT 1-9 that were reserved for custom roles, I guess. I go back and forth about it. I typically don’t need a shortcut for roles since I can just lasso a bunch of clips and change their roles at the same time with a click on the Roles column in the browser. But if you were going to design a shortcut for custom roles, it may need to be something like that, or something similar to what Avid uses for Custom Bins.

Michael, custom roles are protected in this way, because those custom roles can be used in more than one project. This feature is there to prevent you from accidentally removing roles from a project you may need to go back to.
Also, you have to make sure that the Role isn’t assigned to any clip in any viewable event as well. In other words, as long as you have one clip in any event, you won’t be able to delete the role.
However, you don’t actually have to reassign anything if you don’t want to. You can simply hide the project and event from FCPX by placing them in another folder aside from the ones FCPX looks for. If an event or project is out of sight, then it’s out of mind for FCPX, and you can delete the role.
