No go on the preferences.
But I think it has something to do with not importing a camera archive fully the first time. I have that camera archive here at my home studio, and I cannot reimport or relink, but I can import again which reconnects everything that is missing due to the faulty import. It appears that even though FCPX thinks everything is connected and consolidated, some of the files from the camera archive are still located in the camera archive only. And when I delete those camera archive specific files I can share normally. So there is some kind of weirdness going on there.
They will have to re-edit it I guess.

I’ve played with going to Logic Pro using X2Pro, but generally if I am not sending out to an audio editor (mostly only documentary and broadcast), I will keep most basic audio sweetening in FCPX (compression/limiting, high pass, and a bit of EQ; sometimes iZotope RX or Ozone). Most corporate just doesn’t care or budget anymore for a separate audio person (or colorist for that matter).
Occasionally I will run Sound Track Pro do global tasks (eventually I will learn and use Audition instead). And I have used the RX standalone app to get rid of certain bits of audio contamination when there was no other alternative. But these are pretty rare.

Did try copy pasting into a new project with no luck.
I’ll try removing the preferences on Monday.

[Herb Sevush] “What “feels” stagnant might well be personal but what “is” stagnant is a matter of fact.”
Herb, how do we resolve what each of us considers to be “facts”?
Most of what folks portray as facts on this discussion board are actually personal opinions and preferences; yours are no different.
I’m merely trying to acknowledge that reality.

In the end, what feels stagnant is kind of a personal preference isn’t it?
What has Premiere added since CC2014 that substantially improves your editing experience? AVID still feels like I am editing on a 1990s application.
For me, nothing that makes Premiere less stagnant than FCPX. But I personally feel that tracks are much more stagnant than the magnetic timeline. Premiere feels like I am still working in FCP Legacy.
I guess it is good to have a choice of which stagnant application to use.

[Bob Woodhead] “…we wouldn’t be talking about stagnant code.”
Isn’t “stagnant code” a bit of an exaggeration? I’m still making good money very efficiently using FCPX even without the hoped for upgrades.
On the other hand, the only bit of After Effects since the 2014 version that I find myself really wanting is entirely too buggy to use most of the time (realtime playback). So, yes, they are providing upgrades more often, but at the cost of being buggy over multiple revision cycles. I still have to go back to AE 2014 for some things due to the bugginess.

How many pros buy their Apple products at an Apple Store versus online? My guess would be that they put in an Apple Store what people actually purchase at an Apple Store.
I always buy online because I always custom order, but even if I bought a stock MacPro I would still buy it online. Why waste my time driving to an Apple Store?

The rumor I heard is they are bring the Yak back.

I’ve used all the main editors over the years, but primarily FCP legacy since the early 2000s. I use whatever editor clients ask me to use, but FCPx for me is by far the best and fastest editor I have ever used once I grokked its style and let go of my older habits.

With the latest version of AE 2015 I have only one issue: the sync audio bug… which is mostly workable if irritating. Otherwise, no issues with errors or crashing. I’m already enamored enough with the new caching system that I don’t want to go back to 2014.
I’ve been using AE since 1995, and can’t imagine using anything else despite any growing pains.
