I found a thread from 2014 which saved me! Going to “Revert To Original Layout” in the “Window” menu, fixed the problem.

[George Scott] “The solution seems to be to REVERT TO ORIGINAL LAYOUT.”
Thank you! This just saved my sanity. “Revert To Original Layout” is in the “Window” menu.

I trashed the prefs and still no JKL in the event viewer. 🙁

[Suzi P.] “The most easily discernible downside is that the piece won’t be able to be watched as “big” — is this correct?”
You can still go full-screen for viewing, but, depending on the resolution of the viewing screen, the video may be scaled beyond its native resolution. The playback experience should be virtually the same, except it won’t be quite as sharp as a native 1080 video.

[Suzi P.] “What the downside would be of editing in 720?”
Your 1080 stuff gets downscaled and will probably still look sharper than the 720 footage.
[Suzi P.] “Is there a chance that I can edit in 720 and then paste the finished timeline into a 1080 (let it render) and then export? Could that also achieve the same results as starting in 1080?”
You could, but then you’ve scaled your 1080 footage twice. You don’t want to do that.
Decide between editing in either 720 or 1080 and stick with it. You can certainly experiment by making a test project at each resolution––throw some clips in and see how they cut together.

Create a 1920×1080 29.97 project and edit everything there. If your interviews are sharp, they should look decent scaled to 1920×1080. If need be, apply a small amount of sharpening. Don’t worry about the frame rates, those will match up fine. Don’t bother with 24p this time around. You can shoot it natively for your next project. 🙂

Google “FCPX Multicam” and watch a good tutorial!

It would probably be good for you to use one of the standards and learn how to work with it.

I don’t know what kind of shooting scenarios you are looking at, but the best thing you can do for your audio is to get the mic closer to the source. What kind of audio are you trying to capture? And what camera are you using?

If you are looking for low light performance and are shooting with available light, check out the Sony A7S or A7Sll. You need an external recorder, like the Atomos Ninja Assassin, to get 4K out of the A7S, but the A7Sll has internal 4K recording.
