Sorry turn all what off?
50fps? You think better at 25 fps?
thanks for the feedback

Thanks for this.
Out of interest you think it’s better with the lower light or what other technical reasons?
Switched the camera across to your PAL 1080 50FPS settings.
Thanks

As a hater of the new terminology i think this is rather coherently put.

And now that I’ve got to day 3 with this and am finishing up, I am wishing I dd it your way Bret as I am finding going into all those different Compound Clips to adjust the audio a bit of a pain in the didgeridoo.
That click and hold works in Safari too … and Firefox. How long has that been part of the OS?

How have I missed that? I’m so angry now!

Hi Bret.
I find (maybe i have a problem) that even when i have not used a compound clip in another timeline I am unable to delete it from the browser without deleting its parent clip first.
as for
[Bret Williams] “I would click and hold and choose from the timeline from the pop-up window. This is a standard feature of navigation buttons in safari and throughout the OS. Give it a whirl.”
I am still reeling from years back when you pointed out to me that I did not have to hit “t’ four times in Legacy to select all forwards. I have just seen that “click and hold” pop up window for the first time ever! Ouch! However only the last two timelines I have been working in appear. Is this a preference setting?

[Bret Williams] “I’m with you. @James – why do you feel you have to use compound clips to copy sections of timelines I tomother sections? Sounds like you used copy paste in legacy, why not in X?”
Not sure which clip I necessarily want to use from a sequence. In Legacy you had instant access to the timeline you wanted. In X you have to keep clicking (amazingly even I use the shortcut for this) till you get there. Five or six times back then five or six times forwards again to get back to the Timeline you are working in.
If I want to cherry pick highlights from different projects I find the workflow of clicking back in the timeline history rather convoluted.
To have multiple sequences open and do a bit of ‘pancaking’ would be the ideal. I think next best is access from the browser with one single click.
I stil think it’s a little odd that creating a Compound Clip is irreversible without deleting its master clip though. Don’t you?

Thanks I use them all the time if I am creating opening titles and end credits that i’m going to use over and over on a bunch of projects.
In this instance I have seven projects that I want to use a small section or two from each to create a new “compilation/highlights” clip of all of them. In Legacy I would probably just have all the sequences open to access them and take what I needed but the only way to archive this that I can figure is to create Compound Clips so I have access to all the completed Projects in the Browser.
As for deleting. I guess its a touch OCD but I like to keep things today. If I’m not going to use it or it was something that didn’t wok out I would rather not have it there in the Browser. I always use Smart Collections for my CCs and if I’m never going to use it I would rather it was not there.
Just wondering if I have been missing something obvious in the bubble I work in.

[Jim Wiseman] “ProRes comes in quickly. What was your codec?”
H264 was slow. Compressed QuickTime movie was slow.
I do a lot of web content. Mixed codecs. Never know what I’m going to get.
I know in FCPX the same stuff is going on in the background. I’ve just become impatient.

[Bret Williams] “And why wouldn’t you use a dissolve that has both a hot key and the ability to numerically change duration or drag out the duration all without ever opening the inspector?”
The more I think bouts the more i think you’re right and I’m doing an unnecessary amount of fiddling with keyframes.
I suppose I’m a bit puzzled by the Ease In and Out in the Inspector because I can’t quite “see” what it’s doing in the same ay.
I think I’ll change habits
Thanks for that.
