Hey folks.
Let’s be nice. We are here to help each other.
Sounds like you are having some issues with where things are finding themselves on teh timeline.
Yes. It’s true, you can place audio above video in FCP X, like you can put all the VO tracks above the primary storyline. It’s designed this way.
You might also be seeing the effects of teh magnetic timeline as it will do everything to prevent clip collisions.
Can you post your system specs.

[Gerald Baria] “You probably have a gap clip at the end part of you project. Just click it and press backspace.”
Yes.
It was indeed a GAP clip. One that I had put in to tack material to at the end of the timline. The material was gone but the GAP clip remainded.
Dragged the GAP clip back to the time I wanted and life is good again.

This thread is worth a read and possibly sending feedback to Apple.

That would indeed be nice. That’s exactly the kind of functionality I am suggesting/talking about.

Iin my view editing is editing.
There are specific things that might happen more often in drama over other forms where a source record monitor is handy. For teh speciific kinds of match cuts you are talking about are used more frequently.
In terms of style match cutting is falling by the wayside a bit. Thinking about MURCH’s “In the blink of an eye here” where after reading that book I pretty much abandoned that idea.
I will state that the best thing a source record set up lets you do is this.
EYE MATCHING
You can’t do that with one monitor and there have already been times where I have had to eye match a cut brought into FCP X.
There is a solution.
You can cut the video onto the primary storyline and leave a gap. as you play through and the “cut” happens you can see if the shot continues or there is a “bump” then you can slip slide to match.
Two monitors was better for eye matching and with no XML or EDL that is the only way to bring a current Legacy project into FCP X.

[David Cherniack] “Hint: you smoke it.”
OH!
I don’t smoke. Up not up on all the Cheech and Chong lingo.
I thought you were talking about the Olympics. 🙂

I agree. We will have to see it and many are waiting and watching.
The first “upgrade” will have to be significant.
– open FCP legacy
– edl XML import export (I think we will see a share to devices that will integrate with logic)
– pro I/O with capture cards for broadcast monitoring.I think all of that needs to be in the first update.

I think within 12 months all of the functionality people have been asking for will be built in.
I wonder if they will get Walter Murch to endorse thus version? Or if the Cohen brothers will edit a film on it at some point.
(at some point not tomorrow)
It will be interesting to see Appkes marketing rollout. the marketing rollout will be the big indicator on where they are going.
Who will be the brave one? (after omf and XML out are enabled).
Interesting times.
