[Mark Suszko] “The classic reason for audio drift is a mis-match between the video codec’s audio sample rate,…”
Yes, bit all source, timeline settings, master, and compressed are 48KHz. I’ll try re-rendering to an .MP4 instead of a .mov; not that I expect that to make any difference.
…and perhaps suggest using Vimeo instead.

[Oliver Peters] “there’s the base of the tree”
That’s true Oliver.
I spent my first couple of years editing on both flatbed and tape to tape. Editing on FCP 10 and Premiere makes me realize that more traditional timeline-based NLEs like Premiere are like tape to tape, and FCP 10 feels like it has gone back to a more film-feel type edit style. FCP 10 just feels more tactile while at the same time getting out of the way to embrace a more intuitive way of editing. I still have a hard time explaining the feel to my editing friends who do not use FCP 10. Also, they don’t believe me… 🙂

[Mark Suszko] “but the comment suggesting that features of FCPX are “dumbed down” for the “simpler user” is I think, a tad unfair.”
More wrong than unfair. I think by now most of us know that this kind of talk is code for “I don’t really know how to use FCP 10.” A fair statement would be something like, “I prefer to use Premiere over FCP10.” (or vice-versa).

Great. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks David.
Turns out that the CommandPost folks had this functionality implemented for generic Excel/CSV files. Copy from excel and paste in FCPX after selecting relevant browser clip.
They also added a paste markers command (to browser clips) that is specific to Frame.io csv downloads, which is what I was interested in particularly.

Resolve 15 would have been my holy grail when I was using FCP 7, and today’s Premiere would have been what I would have expected from the next version or two of FCP at that time. I could imagine looking longingly at Resolve 15 if I was using Premiere currently.
But I use FCP 10 primarily. I find it a joy to use compared to Premiere and much faster for the sorts of corporate/documentary work that I do.
I’m using some of my spare time to gradually learn Resolve. But the edting side feels like Premiere, and to be honest, FCP 10’s color correction tools, along with the built-in audio effects and iZotope’s RX and Ozone plugins get me most of the way there such that it is rarely necessary for me to go outside of FCP 10 anymore.
I’m curious about Fusion too, but I have used After Effects since 1995 and its hard to start something like Fusion when you are so comfortable with another.
That said, it is really easy to get FCP 10 timeline’s into Resolve, and I would probably end up using its color tools sometimes, BUT, the import process strips out all audio levels, fades, and keyframes. And that is essentially makes Resolve DOA for me for many projects. I know I can round trip but…

I have a C100 mkII and have no problem importing AVCHD footage into FCP 10.4.4. I am on High Sierra though.

[Jonathan Dearth] “An easy way is to just drag the missing files back into the clip list. It doesn’t put them there twice. Then they are relinked.”
I wasn’t talking about video clips. I was talking about the Frame.io share destination presets for rendering. They told me how to manually create them, so its been worked out. Loving Frame.io functionality.

“FCPX 10.4.4” It does not work on older version.
Tech support is walking me through how to install the share destinations manually. So, looks like we are working it out.

[Neil Goodman] “dont really get the name change tbh. Seems like what we have is appropriate for the discussion at hand.”
It’s a recognition that FCP 10 has matured and there is no longer a need to debate its place among professional NLEs… the current name no longer applies. However, a more appropriate name like, “NLEs, the Debate” would probably be better than “Apple Talk” and could continue to supply endless hours of opinionated chatter, along with the occasional gem of insight into all things editing.
