I find option drag a bit tedious. Thus the OP. I guess I’m hard to please.
Feature request “Duplicate as Connected clip”

When I trash a project it does not go to the Finder trash. Where does it go?

Thanks Bill,
I hear you.
I have B roll from other performances of the same song that I have synched manually to give me extra options in the angle editor and for the first 30 seconds it’s all cool, but of course there is inevitable drift so I thought (as I am not actually using the audio from those angle and they are deselected in the Inspector) I could sneakily slip them back into sync.
But clearly it creates problems. I guess it makes the rest of the piece move relative to that shot in it’s entirety or something. And then it’s not so easy to undo those problems.
I miss sync markers!
In the angle editor I can blade the section I want to use and slip it back into sync there.
cheers

I’m running Yosemite Beta and FCP7 running fine. Maybe I’m just lucky.

By which you men making sure the file names are identical? Just checking I’ve got it right.

The best way to do this would be to right click the timeline clip (before you detach audio) and choose “open in timeline”. You can then resync the audio within the clip(s) without detaching it. If it’s an entire master clip, you can do this to the master in the browser before you cut it in.
This is brilliant. A workflow that completely knocks on the head my final reservation with FCPX that had lingered about moving audio out of sync and then “marking in sync”.
I have not seen this in any of the tutorials I have done. Damn how could I have missed this I have had put up with detaching audio and having it as a connected clip all this time.
Unfortunately if you do it after it’s cut I don’t think it changes in the project.
Hmm. Wonder why. I’ll check this.
Thanks

I’d definitely like to see Adobe introduce a magnetic timeline with the ability to connect B roll to the primary storyline and move with the shots they were connected to. To build in the audio and be able to expand it only when you need to would tidy things up a bit. Oh so tedious to have the audio for v6, v7 etc. so very far away geographically
Keyword and smart collections would also help a lot instead of old fashioned bins for organising media.
How is Adobe when it comes to Multicam? I don’t know. Never tried. Anything near as good as X?
I agree with Steve most about the opacity line (or lack of) and customising layouts.
Oh and I like owning my software and keeping it on my machine. Pay once. Use forever.

I actually like the fact that FCPX encourages us to work more like audio editors with controlled cross fades as opposed to being a little bit lazy and just using a default. However Alex4D dos have an audio only dissolve plugin that I also use.
