Glad to have been able to help!

Did you first click on a frame that you want to match to? You can click around a bunch of different places until you fine a frame that gives you a match that your happy with, then click Apply Match.

Here is a link to the normal speed video for you to download- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/72nfiy5bv782mh3/wMwCuVhaTp
Its pretty simple, crop and mask a generator to create the border, crop another generator for the timer bar. Keyframe the crop so the bar fills over the duration of the section. Add a counter. Compound, resize and move into place.
Thanks for the offer, I’ll check out the site!

No problem, I had some fun making it. I’m uploading the normal speed version to Dropbox for you to download. Be right back.

What is the spatial conform set at? Position and scale? I had a similar confusion not too long ago, its like the ken burns effect acts as if its within a compound clip. Affecting the clip “before” the inspector settings, IIRC.

Hi Clayton,
I did a screen recording while I fiddled around trying to create a simple version of what I think you are talking about. There are three sections of video, each with a progress bar and counter which resets at the beginning of each section. Total creation time was about 12 minutes, here it is in 4X speed-

No problem Tim. I was thinking that the third example in the video, dragging parameters right from the inspector would be an easy way to do what you want. When Mark accidentally dropped a parameter on a clip, with the play head at a point some number of frames into the project, and the animation pasted right at the play head, it seemed to do just what you want. Not sure if you can drag a parameter to the same clip it came from, to paste the effect later in the clip though.
In the example screenshot you posted, I think the issue is that the purple parameter does not have a keyframe at the start of the project. So in your case, motion is lining up the first keyframes of each parameter when you paste, which is what you want it to do, your just missing a keyframe. Try adding a keyframe at the same frame as the first keyframe as the other parameter

I had a similar post 2am mistake, like Nick I was able to undo the changes. Fortunately I still had the foresight to copy the elements from within the compound before undoing, to paste afterward, not losing any work.
I’d probably get more use from a before 2 PM “are you sure” warning, the way my schedule is. 🙂

No problem! I see Ripple recommends taking the “Apple Pro Video Series – Final Cut Pro X – Second Edition” training before diving into the media management one-

It looks like the Ripple Training “FCPX 10.0.6 in depth” iPad app is still on sale for $2, down from $20. It gives a nice overview. If you have an ipad its a easily worth the two bucks but I’d bet its going back up in price soon. Otherwise its $25-$30 for the computer version.
I haven’t bought it, but I’d assume that the media management training would be a good one for you to get-
