Yes – I’m still a bit confused by the track ‘patching’ and selection options – seems to be too many buttons! I currently tend to lock tracks so I can work on one definitively. Still need to work this one out/practice more. More importantly…

Is there ANY way to ‘solo’ vision tracks? That is, a way to view one video track only from a complex many layer series of video tracks but WITHOUT losing renders. I must be doing something wrong to get this ‘lose renders’ popup as I build a multilayered looks/effects and render them so as they preview properly… But when they dont quite interact/look as I want, and I need to tweak a keyframe in a layer, I get this ‘lose renders’ issue. Infuriating!

Thx

Thanks John- kinda! That is a very big loss. Especially when layering/compositing.

In my experience so far FCP does so many things so much better/simpler/logically/intuitively, but it loses out on far more important things like this and quick in timeline CCR and ability to drop effects on filler/blank tracks (the basis of many a complex transition or overall ‘look’).

Give me another few weeks!

Thanks Craig – I know that process for a whole clip. I’m after one keyframe at a time (and then pasting that keyframe at the IDENTICAL overal timeline position on a different layer). Then I would apply offsets etc maybe, but it is a really useful technique for moving montages etc.
