One of our guys says it mixes all the tracks down to a single track… but we’ll have to try it again.

Thanks for the replies fellas… i will proceed.
James, I thought we’d have to re-cut all the audio back in because there doesn’t seem to be a way to “uncollapse” (FCP7 speak) or “break apart” (FCPX) or “decompose” (Avid?) a nested audio clip containing 8 tracks of audio. What happens if we try to export an OMF or AAF of nested audio tracks? We haven’t tested that yet.

Hmmm, i will investigate Prelude.
Also, to clarify for Dennis, I can search for a marker name or comment in a Timeline, but it does not seem to work in the Project Panel. For example, I placed a marker in a Timeline that contains an interview, and I use both the marker name and comment fields. I name the marker “making the album” and also type “making the album” into the comment field. Then I move the playhead and command+F to search for “making the album”, and the playhead jumps to the marker (NOTE:… just maybe found a bug?… the Find in Timeline tool seems to NOT work when search is set to “all”, but only after I select “markers” in the drop-down menu… is that how it works or is that a little bug?)
Then let’s say I want to go to the Project Panel and make a new search bin and search “all metadata” so I can search ALL my timelines for the marker or comment “making the album”… I get no results. I don’t even see an option in the drop-down menu for marker, only for comment, and that is not working for me either.
That “comment” must refer to the “comment” column which I can create in the panel, but its not the same as a marker comment. Shouldn’t marker info be included in metadata in the Project Panel?By the way thanks Adobe guys for working with me on this!…

I put my markers in a timeline as I am watching footage in that timeline… are you putting markers in a timeline?
That’s how I would like to notate all my stringout timelines of raw footage as I watch it. Is there another way to notate footage while watching?
Again, I really like the Marker panel, I wish I could shift-select a bunch of timelines and have all the markers show up in the marker panel… or something like that.

We just did some tests and it seems that search bins do not include markers in the metadata. It would be fantastic to add that. I am mostly putting markers in sequences.

Yes!… control-option 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 do different stuff… phew!

Sorry, while i’m still beating my drum about overwrite editing, it does also seem really strange that you can’t overwrite paste into the main storyline. I mean, come on…
-
No it does not which is a huge flaw… i’ve work with sync OFF for my entire editing career (well, not in the days of u-matic tape editing) and never had a problem, especially with the help of the sync indicators… but without them i am loath to detach audio… not to mention that, as someone mentioned earlier how in 7 audio clips can get far away “down the tracks as you stack video clips… its the same in X when you detach audio!… if there are 5 layers of audio below your video clip, when you detach the audio it drops down as if pulled by gravity to the bottom… seems to me it would be more convenient if when you detach audio from a clip in the storyline it should “hug” the storyline and remain just under the original clip… i find myself scrolling down to find the clip and pull it back up so it sits under the timeline…
-
Yes i do not like the chaotic placement of clips in the timeline “space”… my timelines get very complex and i do like a visual sense of order when zoomed out to look at the whole shebang.
But i am not here to dump on X… i am simply trying to figure out how to do certain things more easily, mixed with some mild complaining. Like I said there are things about it like a lot.

huh, see, i learned something new!… never tried the “expand audio components”… i see how i can mute things but i just tried to copy and paste a small range of room tone, and, even though i select a range of audio only, when i copy and try to paste that audio, it doesn’t overwrite only, it cuts audio AND video into the timeline… still in “expanded” view… so i can’t use it for my previously stated simple room-tone cut.
