command click enables me to create a new keyword collection. I want to be able to view multiple keyword collections at the same time.

That is weird…

Doesn’t work for fade to colour dissolves though?

Thank you for an interesting insight into another world.

Fair point!

…which is why I quite like the “create proxy workflow”. You know what you are dealing with…but if FCPX is only giving you the choice or “Optimised or Original;” so you actually just don’t know what files it is using.
Unless we are missing something and it just automatically selects the best quality file to save us the trouble? Which is possibly what is being suggested?
if not we should have the option of using Optimised OR original and being able to select for ourselves no??

Correct you said “making up stories”… and the difference is?

Bill Davis said” So it’s an “anything comes in” – THEN – Build in X in ProRes (or Proxy if you have complex files and want more efficiency) and add all your edit and aesthetic decisions via metadata pointers – THEN – just let X create your output files by referencing all the quality of the original source files.”
So if you were using Pro Res to edit having created Optimised media how would you do this as you have the option “use optimised OR original media” But how do you tell FCPX to use the original media and not the Pro Res?

“Although we like the benefits of the magnetic timeline, for certain complex edits we do, we have to do them as connected clips, to avoid magnetism. We have to work with layers anyhow, but in those edits we only leave gaps in the primary storyline for specific editing reasons”
Why? What are those reasons please?
Am I correct in observing that you have just gaps on your primary storyline?
If so it looks a little to me like you may be trying to bypass the magnetism and edit in FCPX as if it were 7.
Is that the case?

Brilliant work thank you
