Noah – Thank You, but not that was not the problem, It just so happened, I upgraded to 2 monitors at the same time I updated FCP to 10.3
It turns out with the update 10.3 FCP no longer supports the Grass Valley HQX quicktime files. 10.2 does support it. They will play in FCP 10.3 but when play is stopped, paused or scrubbing the preview screen goes black. You can only hear the audio in scrubbing. Almost all the footage I get to edit is HQX Quicktime files, I was migrating over to FCPX from Edius WG Pro8 and was happy I did not I have to optimized the files for editing (in FCP 10.2).
I regularly edit 7 Camera multicam (1 Hour long program 7 hours of footage!) that’s a lot of optimizing of footage – do you know if I can I roll back to FCP 10.2 it worked fine with that?
Thanks
Don

[But they couldn’t work the same as it would screw up compositing order.]

I was not so much wanting to randomly shift the lanes all around as much as work in a group of clips that are a layer above the next group of clips below that are independent of each other. It may be my deficient knowledge of FCP but you get a couple hundred clips each being connected to another and then want to change a particular group them, that are not inter connected with each-other, it seems like you have do a lot of manual fixing to adjust. I do 7 camera Multicam (1hour program) with a lot of Pic in Pic. Lot of manual labor getting it all correct. It may just be in my mind but it is easier to handle all that in tracks or (fixed Lanes) maybe we will see Fixed Lanes!

[Don Cobble]

Sure would like to see video lanes

I am a Edius WG 8.22 Pro user as well as a Vegas user since vesion 4. Edius was my “fall back to” program if Vegas did not rise to the occasion. I have become proficient Edius user, it is staggering what it can do (codecs and processing, rendering smokes!), but, Awkward in how it does it. Like learning to drive in UK, steering wheel on other side, other side of the road ect.
I started with Edius pro 6, WG Pro 8 is much better. New Blue FX stuff, Boris, and Hitfilm plugins work in Edius WG8. The difference in Work Group Pro 8 and Pro 8 primarily is, you have to be on internet regularly to check in to keep “Pro 8” working, a parole officer version, but just a one time pmt. WG Pro 8 on the other hand is paid, you own it, activate done deal.

I am still a Vegas fan and HOPE they get it together, I can work on Vegas blindfolded (so to speak).
But I am continuing to learn driving on the other side of the road with Edius rather than “just” waiting to see, if Magix raises Vegas up. I did invest in the upgrade, just as a “risky investment’ and I still use SVP13 and now MVP14, in case.

Magix support, is bottom of the barrel at this time contacting them is entering “the Black Hole” (hope that changes)
Edius support is decent a little slow on critical support, not the best out there, but, they do get back to you.
Boris support is great!
New Blue support is very good!
Red Giant is great also!

Thank You guys for the help, It turned out to in fact be the latest drive update from Nvidia does not show up in either Vegas 14 or SonyVP13 So I always save driver downloads, step back one update and now my GPU option shows up in both. Thank You for the Idea!

I have been learning FCPX just in case the anticipated VP14 day was a bust – Yep, I must learn X for real now %^&*^()!!!!!
I also have been using Edius WG8 awkward but impressive, I will keep an eye on the great group of Vegas-ites from afar. Great while it lasted

8) Rendered HEVC 1920×1080 29P 12 mbps MOV with GPU on – no problems

MVP14 Real time – Preview Full – 6 Tracks – different levels of opacity so all six tracks are all visible – With different NewBlue and Hitfilm effects on each track. Plays back very good on the external 4K monitor

[Don Cobble]

I have downloaded the Trial V14, (This is on my PC2 editor specs below)
1) Pluraleyes 4.0.1 does not show up in MVP14 but does show up in SVP13 on same computer.
2) New Blue Titler Pro 4 ultimate crashed MVP14 but works on SVP13
3) Hitfilm Effects works ok so far on both
4) Newblue Color fast works on both so far
5) I am using Grass Valley HQX Codec 29P 10Bit footage – both SVP13 and MVP14 do some random funky pixilation stuff at different times so I see neither like that codec
6) Running 6 tracks of HQX in multicam – The MVP14 seems to manage multicam better than the SVP13
7) Rendered out Main Concept MP4 720P 2 Pass MVP14 with GPU on – no problems
8) Rendered HEVC 1920×1080 29P 12 mbps with GPU on – no problems
