out of curiosity, do you have all the latest software updates including mac os 10.6.8 and prokit, and a supported graphics card? https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664

Hey Craig,

Great article, it really helps to see pros actually using the app. talk about it’s pros and cons.

In regards to your sub clipping issue where you couldn’t seem to get your keyworded ranges to be named what you wanted in the timeline:

I do a lot of interview stuff as well and figure out this workflow that may work for you:

1) in the event browser clip mark your range – section you want to name “bob talks about his 401K”
2) Make this range a Compound Clip using Control Click > New Compound Clip or opt. G
3) Name the clip range whatever you want
4). Place this compound clip (and all others about bob’s 401K) into a keyword collection
5). Edit the Compound Clip into the TL and it’s got your custom name on it

This has worked great for me to see interview themes at a glance in my TL. Give it a shot 🙂

Hey Tony,

I’m able to find the original clip by first using “reveal in finder” in FCPX, then control clicking to “show original” from the sim link in the finder. I don’t think there’s a single button from FCPX though. Hope this helps.

Have you tried?
1. “+ 100” on your numeric keypad to advance 1 second.
2. “,” and “.” to ripple forward and back by a single frame?

how about this? select a clip in list view. after setting in/out, press f. (kinda like making a subclip)

in the list view, you’ll see the clip expanded with a twirly triangle and the favorite is there, rename that favorite
