Wait figured it out @_@ More ranting to be had of course but I was surprised to find the simple way after all

Ctrl-D – engages the Change duration feature in the time indicator – and as such it tells you how long a range is after you have selected in and out points

I Really REALLY wish the context menu would show up over range selections so that I could have seen this in the program, thus making it more intuitive 😛 Maybe there is something wrong with my multicam clips but the range tool almost disables every option to affect the range selected, and the context menu won’t appear with a right or ctrl-click @_@

Surprised Ctrl-D worked but I guess there are features that holding up 🙂

Ignore the B#(*@ing about linguistics in the post but there are even good images that describe how to Subframe Editing AND Subframe Scrubbing in FCP 7

Side note. In FCP X you can do subframe editing and scrubbing…if you are willing to detach audio from your multiclips when editing concert footage 😛 I only bring it up because I am editing a music event as well and was mostly successful and letting FCPX sync AND create a multiclip with the Audio as a separate angle with no video attached (Don’t know why this was so hard to do in FCP 7…) but now that the Audio is joined in the multiclip as an angle, I am hand synching a better mastered audio file to the ambient audio in the multiclip…and I can subframe scrub and edit the detached audio to my heart’s content but the audio file in the multiclip offers no subframe scrubbing or editing beyond keyframes @_@ matching the stupid wave forms WITHOUT FCP 7’s longed for viewer to enlarge the waveforms and GASP let you place subframe markers!! is making it nearly impossible to sync within less than a frame or two

Beware the fast or illconceived workarounds people offer you! @_@ @_@ Beware…
