Many thanks for that.
It would be useful wouldn’t it if that all worked in the same way as the Event Browser?
What’s the betting 10.1 is going to be a massive anti climax?

Hi Oliver,
Thanks I was only asking because I have not found it to be much different in the way that I work, which, in all probability is much less complex than the kind of work a lot of you do.
Kind regards
James

“I am currently teaching a major network post facility how to move from FCP7 to X. It isn’t easy. Mostly because the editors have no time to just learn the app. They have to learn on the job with deadlines. They are hugely frustrated.”
Hello. I’d be really interested to now more about this journey…without being specific or naming names. What they were working on, how they are getting on etc.
Here in the UK people seem lot more hesitant about adopting FCPX (as we were with 7) so it’s nice to have a window into the future (You’re about 2 years ahead of us I reckon!)

My solution would be to get a tripod and shoot the multi cam window off the screen.
A bit Heath Robinson perhaps. -
Out of interest in what way is the old Match Frame inferior to the new Reveal in Event Browser?
-
Come to think of it why is audio always below the video…who decided that is they way it should be?
Good point

Yup…if you are using the CC in the timeline then DO NOT delete from the Event browser. That was EXACTLY what happened to me.
Wiser minds here will explain why….

Perhaps as a way of starting to round off this thread, the CC I was referring to which would not delete was, of course, due to pilot error.
I had inadvertently created a CC from the timeline without selecting anything. The intention had been to create one in the Event Browser.
It seems if you do this FCPX will create a CC with the individual clip closest to the playhead. I did not see that this one shot in the timeline had turned into a CC and successfully deleted the contents resulting in a black hole.
Match Frame (sorry reveal in Event Browser) not possible as nothing to match
Located the clip it came from and (thanks to PIOP) all is well again.
It makes sense to me to keep versions within one project although I am in the habit of duplicating the project every day as a backup.
No Autosave or Autosave Vault still makes me nervous.

My experience having been somebody who was not keen on keyboard shortcuts is that I am using them more and more in FCPX. Keywords and stuff almost best to het the Ripple tutorial and see for yourself. You need to use it in ager to understand it though…having it explained to you will not help I don’t think.

Seen FCPX on a mac pro and definitely way slower and more stuttery than on my quite basic iMac.
