Yes, seems like the only other option, but then that clip’s speed is already modified for the next time I want to use it. I prefer to keep my clips free of effects and speed changes so I know they are “naked” when the come onto the timeline.
I suppose it’s not too hard to put it back to 100%, but I was hoping for some sort of preference in FCP to make it so it doesn’t make ripple changes when changing speed on the timeline.
