Have you downloaded it and done a test of your workflow with it?

For want its worth its pretty straightforward to put your audio in any order you like in FCPX….some young Turks are even putting audio above video I read somewhere.
And why not? -
I’m led to believe that saloon and rally car drivers more often than not bypass the clutch and jam the gear in to save time.

I think Formula 1 cars ditched the clutch some time ago!

I want to know those things without reading anything, writing anything, or hitting any buttons. I want to know those things merely by looking at the timeline,
So how ideally would you like to be able to identify stuff if not be reading what it is in timeline? Colour coding for different instruments? Or how? I’m interested to understand your requirements. I think so many of us work in a bit of a bubble these days it’s really interesting to understand other peoples’ workflows and needs.

Most mercedes would probably be auto. BMW 5 series… hmmm maybe mostly auto but 3 series would be manual and most map cars and Fords and Vauxhalls come standard as manual.

Thanks Ive been looking at light and trying to figure the difference.

Well I would change the clip names of this stuff in my Event Browser to “Drums” “FX” ‘guitar” etc. I would try and use Smart Collections where possible also to keep them all nicely bundled together.
So I would immediately see what they were in my timeline. We can differentiate between “audio and video” and just “audio” in the timeline at a glance can we not?
And of course I would also use roles to make sure FCPX “knew” what everything was.
Sync markers we are missing. If you detach audio as opposed to expand that is potentially a bit of a faff because you have to match frame (sorry reveal in event browser ) to sort it out but I have not found that to be a problem such is the beauty of expand audio
Am I being obtuse?
-
Me too. I used to find it confusing because it was so different but I know where all my audio is and like the fact that I don’t have video on v6 and the audio miles away down on a11 and 12.

What’s the actual downside here?
For a professional mix we give to a professional mixer to do in Pro Tools or maybe Logic no?
Or if you are much cleverer than me you mix it yourself in one of those apps yourself.
I’m probably missing the point here..am I?
