    … In Legacy the opacity line was sitting right there in the timeline. Much less fuss. I don’t understand why we could not still have this feature. And you cannot select opacity of text or generators in the Inspector. You have to go to Video Animation – expand Opacity and then adjust. Fiddly and a bit tedious when you have seven of them in a stack (CORRECTION … I’M BEING RIDICULOUS OF COURSE YOU CAN)

    Yes left bracket and right bracket next to the ‘P’ key to elect the correct “edge”

    Still seems to have a preference for preceding slip even when I force select the edge I want to move. May well be something I do clumsily but I was just wondering if anybody else ever had the problem.

    Thanks

    I had this feeling Bret would have something on this. The man who taught me after 10 years of hitting tttt in Legacy that only I needed to do was hit shift t. (or was it cmd t)

    Thanks all.

    Yes much better because the slider is a bit hit and miss.

    Thanks

    Maddening that I did not figure that out but thank you so much.

    Regards

    [Douglas K. Dempsey] “James, don’t get me wrong. I did get over it right away, because I love X. And the whole Library package file concept is one of my big arguments “For” when pitching X or not.

    But the consumer “Baby’s First Birthday” logic of Events is a blemish and non-users who scoff are not wrong.

    I agree it’s annoying. Or was.

    [Mitch Ives] ” “No matter how many times I use the app, I must consciously read, think about and decide when I am creating a Library, or a Project or an Event. And given the way I work, I find that I must have an “Event” in every “Library” called “Edits” which contains all of my “Projects” for that Library. My head spins just trying to type that sentence!””

    Same with Project, Bin, Sequence no?

    Pus scratch disks, audio/video preferences.

    I mean which is easier to remember to do?

    I just call old sequences and new projects “Timelines” now.

    It seems to be universal across platforms.

    Everyone knows what a timeline is. In FCPX it just happens to be called a project now.

    And yes I do still find it a bit irritating but less so these days.

    There’s something about FCPX he just can’t quite bring himself to turn his back on. A persistent nagging doubt perhaps? We’re all still here. How can that possibly be?

    It is so gratifying to still have Aindreas here on tippy toes peeking over the garden fence. You don’t need to peek though Aindreas. Just come on in through the gate – it’s not locked.

    You’re still invited!
