[Kyle Le] “When I am on P mode, whenever I move clips and overlap each other, one of the clips actually trims by itself. How do I disable this feature? “
Position is like an overwrite, so it will trim. Do you not want to trim? If you want to trim just the video, then expand the clips, and trim one side of the video so the audio will than overlap.
[Kyle Le] ” I have A roll and B roll mixed together and I want to be able to edit B roll without any audio and without having to go through and mute and unmute everything using the v button.”
Use the inspector. Select as many clips as you want that have similar audio channels, choose the audio icon in the inspector, and turn off any channels you’d like. This can also be done before adding the clips to the Project.
[Kyle Le] “Is there a way to raise or lower audio for multiple clips?”
Select them, and hit control plus or minus (up or down).
[Kyle Le] “Is there a way to automatically crossfade audio clips that are next to each other? “
This is new in 10.4.9: https://support.apple.com/guide/final-cut-pro/crossfade-audio-in-final-cut-pro-ver66d503b23/10.4.9/mac/10.14.6
[Kyle Le] ” Is there a setting that the timeline moves along with what is being played? or do. have to move the scroll to the right manually?”
No auto scroll unfortunately. But use the ‘h’ (hand) tool and click and drag the timeline while it’s playing.
[Kyle Le] “Is there a way to group clips together without creating a compound clip? On Sony Vegas, I would just highlight whatever clip and right mouseclick or short gut create new and they would all be together and then remove from when I wanted to separate anything.
“Look up how to use “Secondary Storylines”
[Kyle Le] “Should I disable automatic render? will it affect the heat of my computer or how fast the editing software goes?”
I usually do, but it’s up to you. If you like it, you can leave it on, and yes, it will process files while you are paused, so your computer will work hard when you aren’t. The rendering pauses while you are playing back and working, so it shouldn’t effect overall editing speed.
[Kyle Le] “When I add files to the library thats already on my computer, should I just leave it as they are and not create copies? Will creating copies means more space taken up on my hard drive”
I usually do not create copies if I don’t have to, and I choose “Leave in Place”. Yes, copies will duplicate files so yes, it will take more disk space.
I highly recommend a training program to get you up and running. I like Ripple Training: https://www.rippletraining.com/products/final-cut-pro/warp-speed-editing-in-final-cut-pro-x/

Indeed! That would be very cool.

[Oliver Peters] ” It’s some version of XAVC, which is based on H.264. One of the various flavors that Sony cameras enable.
“I think that’s just normal XAVC-I, and it’s not LongGOP, like XAVC-L
XAVC-I is ‘h264’ or AVC (Advanced Video Coding), but I-Frame, 10bit, 4:2:2, etc.

[Oliver Peters] “I would add that it’s probably not the camera at all, so that’s a bit of a misleading answer the tech provided.”
Using Media Info, FX9 and F55 MXF files are nearly identical, including codec.
F55 imports, FX9 does not.
I import the FX9 clip to Catalyst Browse, and exported ‘Same as source’ and made a new MXF, and that file will successfully import to FCPX.
*shrug*
Don’t really know what to make of it.

[Warren Eig] “My recommendation would be to transcode the footage into a .mov using the SONY
software until SONY can possible come out with a plugin (similar to what RED did) that enables the FCP workflow with this unsupported camera. I totally get the frustration on this one. I’m so so sorry this is happening.”
“There’s a lot of weird info here. Sony cameras are importable to fcpx, where the mxf files are transcoded or rewrapped.
There IS a plug-in (that is native to fcpx) that allows this.
I don’t know. This really seems like a bug, not a feature.

[Oliver Peters] “The camera uses an AVC-Intra VBR codec. “
What codec is that?
-
I don’t have FX9 footage, but footage from F55 (XAVC 300) MXF files work.
As do Sony Venice (XAVC Intra 300).
I am updated on the latest software and os

Music to my little ears.

First, Snapshot your Project which creates a duplicate.
Then select your Project, open the inspector, and click “Modify” in the inspector.
This will bring up a dialogue to change the size of the Project.
Change the Format to Custom and enter the dimensions.

[Ritesh Saini] “Later, I cropped the clips to a smaller size.”
How did you accomplish this? Did you make a new Project at your desired output size? That would be a quick way to do this as then the port will be at the Project size. (3000xwhatever)
