The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this feature is possibly being held back pending the release of Mountain Lion, where iChat apparently disappears and Messages/FaceTime etc. replace it.
I’m not a software engineer, but I can’t imagine that timeline sharing is a difficult feature to implement in a video editing program that’s otherwise so incredibly advanced.
In other words, maybe FCPX will actually get FaceTime sharing later this year?
As an aside, video chat on the Mac now is as strangely fractured as it is on Windows: iChat/AIM, FaceTime, Google, Skype, etc. Whenever I need to video chat with someone we always have to figure out the app first, which is a very un-Apple way of doing things. Someone must be working on the larger issue…I hope.

No Kona on either side, unfortunately.
We haven’t tried Skype yet, but I suspect it would have the same latency as screen sharing? Will report back if I can get it working.
I’m surprised more folks haven’t missed this feature from FCP7 — it was a great way to collaborate remotely.

I just spent an entire day debugging an FCP X project that was hanging like crazy. The issue turned out to be four stacked PSD files with titles over them.
I made TIFFs of the original PSDs and replaced them, which fixed the problem. This is something I used to do pretty regularly with FCP 7 (with PSDs and JPEGs), but I was surprised to see that X had similar issues.
Haven’t had much experience using PNGs. It seems like the issue is with compression, so I just use TIFF to avoid all that.

No offense taken, I shot all the top-of-bridge scenes and I cringe at those few shots too. But I needed them for the edit, so they stayed in. I think I might have been able to tweak it a bit more in post, but we were on a tight deadline.
I didn’t think the autofocus on the Sony EX1R would hunt like that and didn’t notice it while shooting. You can see that the problem goes away a few seconds into the first shot of the second wave of runners, when I finally figured out the issue and went to manual focus. Never again!
