[Jeremy Garchow] “You can craete your own renaimng convertion. After transfer, chosoe to rename all the files (one of the options is camera orignal name) and you can then check in the Event Borwser. Files on the Finder will remian the same anme as FCPX gave them.”

GREAT TIP!!!

We should be able to change 2 Mono to Stereo and vice versa. Sure I could learn how to work around this shortcoming but I shouldn’t have to. If a client says he want this at the end of an edit, what do I say? Sorry I need to rebuild the audio portion of the program.

[Dennis Radeke] “2 – I’m not a product manager, but I would think that this idea could easily get messy quickly. The audio engine Premiere Pro is powerful and I agree it requires a bit of know-how to set it up properly, but once you do, it should work and respond as you would expect. Changing how audio looks and represents in the timeline is problematic. If I wanted to change a clip with 8 mono audio clips to a single adaptive track – what do I do with the other tracks? what if there is other material on them, is it global to the sequence or just to the clip that I selected? I get your request, I’m just not sure how it could be handled cleanly.”

I agree too. Why take away something that was there and working! Put it back!

I think one of the big issues is that it’s been referenced as like FCP7. So I went into CS6 with that state of mind. I couldn’t change the audio tracks and had to copy everything out of that timeline into another timeline with the correct audio set up. That said to me, I don’t need to go backwards, which is what CS6 feels like to me. An FCP 6.5 equivalent. Sure I don’t know Premiere but if I have to learn a new way I’m going with a system that is a fresh start with new ideas and workflows. FCP X is far from perfect but it has a new fresh direction. I just started play the guitar and bought my first guitar. It didn’t feel right so I went and found one that fit me. It’s all person style, use what fits you!

[Jeremy Garchow] “I like hitting the shift-] or shift-[. This expands the clip AND selects the edge.”

Hi Jeremy, I just tried this and I can’t get it to work. Is there some trick to it?

[Oliver Peters] “For some reason it appeared to overwrite instead of insert when I used it last.”

I’ve seen this to but I haven’t use X enough to know when and how it sometimes overwrites.

[Oliver Peters] “1. Past insert. The closest I’ve found is a two-step workaround. Paste as connected clip and then drag into the primary storyline. Any more direct way?”

Copy and Paste that inserts the clip at the playhead.

Use the Position tool (the second example in the video) and drag the clip end away from the other. A gap is created, select the end of the clip and Command T

Julian, if I understand what your asking to do this video should show you the steps.
