Yeah, option click will let you seelct a clip without moving the playhead.
I’m seeing some wonkiness w/ the playhead / skimmer too, seems like a lot of operations dont’ work form the playhead but only the skimmer.

What do you by:
“Sometimes the playhead doesn’t respond to its correct position on the timeline and a restart is needed to fix this.” ?

regarding your audio issue, any chance you exported stereo after doing some surround panning?

Hey Dave,

I was recently doing some interview editing and found that I can put a separate log note for each favorite I create when I’m in list view. Does that work for what you’re needing it to do. I’ve found it really useful, to go through my long interview clip marking in and out points (sorry, selection ranges) – makeing them favorites, then modifying the note filed next to that favorite in list view. You have to toggle open the disclsosure triangle next to the clip to reveal it, but it seems to be working for me.

Hope this helps.

in either list view or in the inspector info extended view, you can add reel, scene, and take. then, make a smart collection that automatically shows whichever clips have this metadata. it updates dynamically as you label more clips, and if you want, clips can appear in multiple collections based on their metadata — a lot faster than duplicating and filing into bins…

have you figured out when you still hear audio scrubbing? so far, whenever i have audio skimming off, i don’t hear it during skimming or when scrubbing the playhead…

you can add the clip with the talent in the primary storyline, and drag to connect the background video underneath it. when you drag, it is possible to connect video clips below the primary, and audio clips above

Two things:
• Currently FCPX doesn’t recognize exFat drives, and prefers HFS+ Journaled.
• Currently FCPX hides the Time Machine backup drive.
