The motion played back as if there was speed change?

Are there different channels of audio in the inspector? If so you might try turning off one or the other. Our P2 cams always record the onboard mike even when we use externals. They are a nice safety net but need to turn off those channels most of the time.

You might want to download that music or something similar from another source and just attach it.

Personally I think it kinda fits the visual as is. You might want to play around with the equalizer and see if you can make it a bit sweeter.

Thanks. You nailed it.
Have no idea how some of these unlabeled P2 files copied from a P2 card were on the root level, but they were there.
Took quitting FC and rebooting to not have the root level of the media drive be seen as a giant P2 card- but it did the trick. I dragged the original named files into their own folder. I’ll import that into a new event and see what the heck they are. Most likely something I thought I trashed or something.

No reveal in timeline in the browser. In the browser, it does show if a clip is “used.” you can then press enter on the clip’s name and enter that in the search field of the index and it will then show only that clip and the playhead will jump to that. Another thing to consider is if the clips are all custom named with some organization that works for you then finding what you want in the index gets pretty easy.

Hi Mike,

Why not update to latest version of FC on a test drive or partition and experiment with the work flow that you need on your own gear. Sounds too important to hope it works.

1) on a lesser machine mine loads instantly in browser even if the browser window is closed to begin with. Does this happen with you after allowing time for the waveforms to fully load in the browser after an import?

3) Agreed, “share” is stupid. And I don’t know any consumer level computer literate person that does not understand import export. So who does this help? You can export to master file and under settings tab you do have choices. Maybe not as many as you need? I always used compressor with FCP 3-7.

4) in the browser, click the gear and choose group clips by none.

exactly. its almost a non issue while editing. but once you need to communicate, it’s a nuisance. i would’t bother with the thread on the techniques forum but on the debate forum it remains relevant. As does Apple’s decision to EOL Aperture but the new PHOTOS is missing features that most Aperture users can’t live without. Hopefully the same outcome where the features get put back in.

I also think as a teacher that the terminology is particular poor for students and consumer level editors because it does not help them learn the standards which includes vocabulary.

I do like the concept that an application can be tiered to all levels. So what you used as a child can grow with you as an adult and as a professional if that becomes your calling or serious hobby.

Take a look at this tutorial as an example of Apple using the word timeline. It’s not the window; it’s the timeline.

https://support.apple.com/kb/PH12547?locale=en_US

When you create a new library it auto creates an event but no timeline (project). The window as a place holder is still there.

Now this language is almost insane: “Append clips to your project in the Timeline.” “To add clips to the Timeline do one of the following: …” So your appending the project but adding to a timeline? No, because an append edit is not an insert or connect edit which also adds the the timeline. Also “append clips to your project in the timeline” almost sounds like the timeline is a window of the project. Bottom line is it’s redundant to the point of absurd.

The only thing I can think of is that FC allows each clip to open in its own timeline and you can create sequences in that timeline which would not be the Project’s timeline.

A project in FCP X is a single timeline. Period. What else is it? Name a single component that a project has
that is not in a timeline.

I think it happened cause in FCP X 10.0, the library held all your projects. You had access to all your media. Therefore you’d create a new project that had access to all your media but was a new project. Stupid for technical reasons but that’s the way they envisioned it. Worked for iPhoto.
