One of the more frustrating things about Voice Isolation is that it does not work on Dual Mono audio. If you switch the clip audio to stereo it will work. If you’re using Dual Mono you have to use it on the audio component level. The thing is I often want to use Dual Mono because the audio summing increases the volume when both channels have the same content.

And Apple’s entire forum deals with so many subjects unrelated to FCP that it’s hard to be sure you have a wide swath of targeted interest. The importance of discussion boards whether it be FCP.co or COW is that the readership is looking for or helping with video specifically.
I do hope a lot of the FCP.co discussion moves back to the COW.

Apple’s forum doesn’t depend on revenue to cover expenses.
An independent website has hosting and management expenses that must be met.
That means advertisers and the content to draw views for the advertisements.
I don’t doubt that the COW itself faces those issues.

And this mentions a patent for infra red technology which the eye won’t see but the camera will and therefore impact the image in that regard.

It’s an interesting idea.
It’s sort of like HDCP (copy protection) which allows you to play a video but prevents electronic copying. Or maybe it’s like what’s done with playing Netflix or AppleTV on your computer. You can see the movie but if you try to record it with Quicktime the video is blank.

It seems the best they can do is a digital watermark that is traceable.

Choose Your Weapon to Fight Screen Recording Piracy - PallyCon
The history of the content industry has been accompanied by the fight against illegal content leakage. The so-called ‘cam version’ is one of the most traditional methods for movie content piracy. The movie industry, which has made theater releases difficult … Continue reading

I think you should you should watch one of the trainings on FCP Media Management (Ripple Training is good).
Libraries contain Events and Projects. Media may be internal or external to it. That’s a user-controlled setting. Without that information or an explanation of your reason for copying it’s hard to make a recommendation. I’m not sure how or why you seem to describe Projects separately on the Desktop as they are contained in the Library.
This is why I think you need to watch one of the trainings. At the very least you need to understand FCP Media Management in order to ask the best way to make a change with an explanation as to why you want to make the change.

Yet why would they feature FCP since B&H obviously doesn’t and can’t sell FCP. They can just as easily sell Apple hardware with Resolve or Premiere Pro. The featured ONLY FCP. And all booth staff wore Apple shirts, not B&H. While they may have been staffed by B&H employees it seems the both setup may have had conditions controlled by Apple (only Apple software and only Apple attire). I can’t see something that B&H would otherwise limit themselves by. In the store, they only feature Apple hardware running Blackmagic and Adobe software.

Hmm, there’s no reason to transcode from most recent Sony cameras into FCPX. I use Sony Z90 and FX3 and everything imports straight in. Perhaps the transcodes are the issue.
It’s not clear what you mean by “artifacts” because there are different causes. Wait for the Flow transition to render. Personally, I prefer to use MotionVFX mMorphCut. It’s hard to be more specific without details and examples. Without specifics, you’re only going to get general suggestions that may not be applicable.
When describing an issue write so that someone can match equipment and follow steps.

As others have said, mp4 is a container and the codec might be an issue.
In VLC on your computer check the Information to see the codec.
On her computer have her open it in Quicktime to see if it plays there.
You don’t mention which macOS or version of FCP but that is certainly a factor so please note that information.
Since it’s from a Sony camera it’s possible the free Catalyst Browse might be able to transcode it to something she can play.
Sony F3 used MPEG-2 Long GOP and that might be the issue. Catalyst Browse might be able to transcode it to an H264 variant. Maybe XAVC-S would work.

HP and Adobe were there as well. Blackmagic had a booth as well which had Resolve running but was mostly focused on ATEM switchers… even their cameras were less prominent than ATEM.
The other computer booths were towards the back of the show floor.
Apple’s booth was up front as you enter. They were given a position of prominence. The interesting thing about B&H’s relationship with Apple is they are one of the few stores where you can walk in and buy BTO systems already configured. Heck, even the Apple stores don’t do that. In addition to having many Macs at the booth, seeing FCP was a mild surprise given B&H obviously doesn’t sell that (only available through the Mac App Store). Clearly, someone still has the belief that FCP sells Macs. Even if the booth were a completely B&H-run booth with their employees wearing Apple shirts, it certainly a show of confidence in an Apple retail presence.
