Ok, that’s one more reason not to buy those. Yet.

Thanks man. that was quick and clear!

I’ll stay at 3 for now. Hopefully when FinalCutPro X Pro comes out, I’ll change my mind.

Thanks all.

Problem solved!

Have them side to side in my dock now.

At least I can explore FCPX to see what the REAL advance.

And in the meantime continue working as a PRO (7 that is)

Advice: don’t buy FCPX. Wait!

Thanks,

But I’m using a Macbook, so… no numpad.
Any other option?

I’m sorry, but I cannot check for CS3, For CS4 more detailed what I’ve learned from Ann:

note: it kinda tricky in which order you press, hold down and release keys.

– you have to click the audio part, rather than the video part of the clip you want to move.

– at that point the video and audio is linked and can be moved horizontally across track V1 and A1. keep mouse down.

– now press shift while holding down the mouse.

– If you are happy with the new place of the clip, though only the video should move to a free track AND the audio should move to a free track as well (i.g. from V1/A1 to V2 and A2) keep dragging up and down to have the video snap to V2 and audio to A2. keep the mouse down. keep shift down.

– keep down shift while releasing mouse

(if you release shift first, the video snaps back to V1. If you release mouse first, the video will be in V2 and the audio will be in A2)

Note: I’m talking mouse, while I use the smartpad on my MBP, but the use is the same.

I’m sorry again. If this doesn’t work in CS3 I can’t help it.

Hi Ann,

thanks for all the details and screenshot

It answered my question perfectly.

select the AUDIO part of the clip
drag but don’t release mouse
hold down shift.
move up and down to have the video snap to V1 and audio to a2
keep down shift while releasing mouse
release mouse.

if you release shift first, the video snaps back to V1.

thanks again!

Hi Chris,

thank you for your reply,

but this was not what I asked.

I’m looking for a way to automatically have my audio NOT overwrite other audio when dragging the videopart of a clip to a free track over video. (and thus automatically move to free track as well)

I want to reduce steps.

I could first move video, then move audio.
but I want to do those steps simultaneously by pressing a shortkey while moving.
