Even with the folder tree in place, try just dragging the files to the browser event or keyword collection.

I read the error message as edits meaning changes to the roles components, not edits to the temporal clips like trims and such. If you’ve added roles to the guts of compounds and now youre breaking apart the audio into mono, then you’re going to lose those role designations across the library anywhere those compounds are used. But in any case if your mix was based on stereo clips and you make them mono or pan to center, you’re going to have remix to some extent. Best to dupe the library and give it a shot.

Ha! Don’t know if that’s sarcasm, but sure seems like a better option than roto!

We’ve literally been putting “work in progress” in the upper corner of all drafts.

There is no such frame rate. 1080i is 29.97 FPS, and 60 fields per second. 59.94i and 29.97i are the same thing. Some programs are referring to the fields per second and some are referring to the frames per second.

When you put 60p footage in a 29.97i (or 59.94i) sequence, each frame is mapped to a field.

I’ve never really noticed an issue. Are you displaying waveforms in the event? Are you displaying filmstrips? I only show a thumbnail, no waveform. If I need to use the waveform on music or something, I switch to list view. In the timeline I’m usually set to waveform, no filmstrip. But sometimes waveform and filmstrip. I don’t generally optimize or proxy anything. I do a lot of 4K in a 1080 timeline work.

The important part was the warning that it doesn’t ripple down to the timeline. 😛

We don’t have the T tool anymore. So you’re faced with a couple options…

Zooming all the way out (shift z) and selecting with the standard FCP/macOS marquee, shift and cmd click methods. Unlike FCP 7 you only need to select what’s in the primary though, since all the other clips are connected to them. If you’re looking to move them down the timeline into empty space you’ll need to use the P tool.

Or if you just need to make space by moving everything down, that’s as simple as pressing option w to insert a gap/slug which you can then drag out to the desired length or select and choose cmd d and type in a duration. Since everything is connected to the primary, inserting a gap into the primary moves everything down.

But just like FCP 7, be aware of clips that overlap the insert point. They are most likely connected before the insert point so they won’t move. So if it’s important that some music end at a certain spot, you might want to connect it to the primary toward its end. (Cmd+opt and click on the clip where you want the connection point). Or before making space you can split everything so it all is sure to ripple down. That’s shift cmd b.

Too much info? Just answering your next questions. 🙂
