Michael – Great tip! I had wondered about the four-direction indicator but the tutorials I watched made no mention of it. Thank you.

Andy, now that you have me thinking that way it is true that the missing titles problem didn’t appear until I was working on the imported XML version of the project at work after having sent the XML from home. At work before, and at home where I had simply brought a copy of all the media with me, I didn’t have the missing titles problem. It was only after sent the XML update of the project back to myself at work.
I’ve already spoken about the problem of the exported XML losing all ‘Linear’ settings of Position keyframes and I think you confirmed that. I’m starting to wonder if the exported XML has another problem that is causing my flakey titles.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for all the suggestions but I don’t want to monitor my video from the laptop. I want to FEED it!
I work in television news (freelance) and I sometimes will have a need to edit on-site and feed out HDMI or SDI (with an HDMI-to-SDI adaptor) to an uplink truck or at a facility where I will need to feed an edited piece in real-time to New York (usually) without having to use some intermediary device that I may not have with me.
I just wanted to confirm that the newest MacBook Pro would do that and it appears that it will so I need to upgrade.

Thank you Dave. My titles were mostly there and stayed there but suddenly two titles were back to their default state. I discovered this checking the export. They seemed to be there before. I fixed them and exported, and on checking the export six more titles (different ones) had defaulted to their initial state. And I SWEAR they were fine when I fixed the first two because I scrubbed the whole timeline checking for more after fixing the first two titles. That said, maybe thirty other titles on the timeline were just fine. Go figure.

Thank you DAVE! That decides it. I’ll be putting my max-ed out mid-2012 Thunderbolt 15″ rMBPro up for sale and getting the latest model just to be able to feed out the HDMI port.

*sigh* This isn’t my day. In addition to keyframe bugs and XML bugs (both confirmed. Not my machine), several of my titles have now lost their settings! Really! Editing away on my 2009 Mac Pro (I used a fresh drive to install Mavericks) and I export. Check the export. Two titles are missing! Checking the timeline, they’re there but the same color as the white BG and with default text!
I fix those. Export. Check the export. DAMN! Now six different title objects in the beginning have lost their text! They were there during my previous export!
Now, the moment I get to a safe place I save the project as a Snapshot!
Anyone else experiencing this on 10.1?

Thank you Andy. Good to know it’s not just me, bad to know the bug exists. Hard to believe they missed this in testing. I wonder if there’s a wider problem with the keyframes seeing that, as noted by my post nearby, exporting the Project XML caused all my Position keyframes that were set with ‘Linear’ to revert to ‘Smooth’ and all Scale keyframes to go ‘poof!’ and keyframes in my home-grown effect also poof’ed away. Seems the keyframes function needs priority attention.
Thanks for your report.

Great information Bret. Thank you. Like others I was looking for a keyboard shortcut to get out of it. I quickly found the Shift-T to get into it and I just learned from your message that the A key is an easy way to get out of it.
With 10.1 you don’t have to even select the clip if that ‘ball’ is over it!
Thank you,

RE: “It doesn’t say from the FCP X timeline. Where did you see that?”
That’s the point of my inquiry. It doesn’t specifically say ‘Timeline’ but it does say ‘via HDMI from Final Cut Pro X 10.1.” and that’s why I saying that the article seems to suggest that it plays out from the X timeline but I’m looking to confirm that before I buy a new laptop.
