Thanks Bill. I’d like to expand on this discussion of metadata, but I think I’ll start a thread (after searching to make sure there’s not one running that’s relevant) over in Techniques.

Bill, would you elaborate a bit on your comment below? In a (very) rare event, I have strapped myself down in front of FCPX tutorials (I do NOT do tutorials! lol) and have been learning X while trying as little as possible to “mold” it to my way thinking. I’ve found quite a few things that make me pause and go “hmm…. that’s neat…”, not the least of which are the metadata aspects.
What’s your workflow to support the concept below? Add metadata as you work, then when project is complete, offline the media, but keep the project files online to enable metadata searching? I can immediately think of one client where a “permanent metadata library” would be a heck of a thing, WAY better than just named clips & folders. Which then leads to the question; could metadata for clips be shared? (Simple as sharing an event with clip info?)
In X, I see my edits a little bit more as mini-programs in a connected library. And so the metadata is the core to searching, sorting and re-purposing it after the fact.

So you mean “Black Magic”? As in evil zombies rising to snatch almost-completed projects from the hands of babes?
Lovely. Give me some of that. 😉
Seriously though, do you find any correlation between compound clips & prevalence of corruption?

No hope – seems exactly what I described in my first para.
Guess I was hoping for something more…. “elegant”.
I’d have thought there’d be more people voicing (extreme) displeasure over this. One step “forwards”, 7 years backwards….

Let’s see, computer gear that’s held it’s worth the longest (and STILL going strong):
#3 – HUGE Systems MediaVault R320 RAID, 1.5TB, UW320 SCSI
#2 – Apple CinemaDisplay
#1 – HP Laserjet 4…. circa…. 1993 !!!! The WINNER!lol
Where’d I put my CMX paper punch tape EDL?

Nah, all was good Bret, once Carsten pointed out that pref. I’m running an old HUGE Systems RAID that can handle 2 streams of uncompressed 1080 via SCSI, so this new-fangled compressed stuff is cake. 😉

That said, I will note that FCP7 didn’t decrease playback resolution on already-rendered clips, even if RT playback was enabled.
Seems like (another) spot for improvement.

Doh!
Thanks Carsten. I feel like a noob again.

Survey sample question:
13) In using the Magnetic Timeline, do you find it to be:
a) too magnetic
b) not magnetic enough
c) needs a soundFX to know you’re approaching the magnetic area
d) needs an animated magnetism effect to show you’re approaching the magnetic area
e) would prefer the software analyze the shots and determine the best edit for me
f) you know best anyway, so just answer the survey for me, thanks -
