I’ll give that a try. I haven’t manipulated transitions in Motion for FCPX yet. Looking forward to that.

I appreciate your time.
Thanks a bunch for your help!

I read this online, it may help you understand how the patch panel works and how it relates to the missing source buttons on Video and audio.

When a clip (the source) is opened into the Viewer, the Source controls in the Timeline update. These controls are basically a reflection of what’s in the Viewer. For instance, if you open a clip with only two audio tracks into the Viewer, you will see two audio Source controls in the left side of the Patch Panel, labeled a1 and a2. If you then open a video only clip into the Viewer, the Patch Panel will change. The two audio Source controls disappear and are replaced by a video Source control, labeled v1.

On the right side of the Patch Panel are the Destination controls. These controls represent the possible Timeline tracks where the clip in the Viewer can be placed. Before editing the clip into the sequence, Source controls can be moved up or down to different Destination controls, changing the track where the clip will be placed.

So the source side of the patch panel only reflects what you have opened in the viewer and how it will react to being added to the timeline once added. the patch panel decides where the relevant tracks are placed into the timeline.

Hope this clears it up for anyone else who may read this thread …. it helped me, I was just having the same issue. I spent about 10 minutes trying to find out why these things were disappearing. Now I know.
