There’s the re-link under the clip menu, but where is the re-link selected option?

I know April is almost here, but it doesn’t hurt to keep on wishing.
201.) Larger Icon view of clips in the browser.
202.) The ability to group projects together, forming a super-project where master-affiliate clip relationships don’t get lost between multiple projects. Currently if you move a sequence to a different project all those affiliate clips in the sequence lose their master-affiliate relationship. It would be great to keep your master clips in one project and your sequences spread across multiple projects.
203.) Create real Unity-style project sharing. (the super-project formula would work for this as well. A Super-project would be like an Avid project, and a FCP project would be like an Avid bin.
204.) When in double roller mode in the trim window, have both the A and B side update while using dynamic trim.
205.) Update Cinema Tools to include digital workflows such as from RED cameras. -
The bottom line here is that Apple needed to separate the Pro line from the consumer line, and they did in the wrong way.
Why can’t they separate the two like they’ve always done, with processor power, larger HD capacity, RAM capacity, graphics power, screen size. The MBP already has lots of pro options that the MacBook doesn’t have such as an Express card slot and larger screen size.
All of Apple’s computers should cater to all creative professionals in some basic way. Firewire was the way. I remember the good ‘ole days when I had a G5 tower, iMac, powerbook, ibook all in the same office, and I could plug a Firewire HD into any one and do FCP video editing on anyone. Firewire is what made Apple great for video production.
Now, with the new MB, you can’t even connect a DV / HDV camera to capture video. USB 2.0 doesn’t cut it. THis is very disappointing not so much for the Pro user, but for those who can’t afford a MBP and want to use the MB as their machine to edit on.
I used to have an iBook G4 1.4 GHZ that I used to edit with. It was great. I got rid of it in hopes to get a MacBook, but they denied the use of FCS on it with the Intel graphics card. This video editing let-down on Apple products started with the 1st gen. of MacBooks

Yes,
The fact that it’s not going out through the monitor makes me think it’s not a Kona issue but a FCP issue. -
RED has a warning about a problem with green flash frames on the top of their support page. It’s a problem using the QT proxies the camera generates. Their solution is to transcode into ProRes.
I’ve imported all the clips successfully using RED’s L&T plug in.
So in theory once they have been transcoded to ProRes it shouldn’t have anything to do with the Red Codec. The green flashes seem to happen kind of randomly, and I suspect it’s probably a FCP/QT/ProRes issue.

Yes, because these clips are affiliate clips to the bad master clips with 2 ch. of audio. There’s no way to change the affiliation of these affiliate clips as far as I know

After I’ve replaced the old 2 ch audio clips in the browser with the new 8 ch audio clips and used the make master clip command to the new imported clips to get the check in the master clip column, match framing loads into the viewer the clip with 2 ch. of audio. The edited clip in the timeline is not recognizing the new master clip I imported into the browser.
Once the clip is match framed in the viewer, if I press shift-f I get the error message that says there is no master clip in this project, would you like FCP to create one for you?
I’m wondering if FInal Cut Server can address these central media management issues?
