Ha. Unlikely. But when I read posts that are the same thing I am looking for without an answer, or even worse with “figured it out now, thanks” I find it frustrating, so given I found the answer via Google I figured I would pop it here in case someone found this thread hoping for a similar answer.
The keystroke has been nice and useful too, have to say.

Who invited the Grinch to the party. Such a good thread with differing opinions playing nicely together and expanding everyone’s thoughts/beliefs/understanding then jack boot Dave stomps in and missing the point witters on about X being Jesus Christ’s come back album.
Honestly you’re worse than YourHavingALaugh on the guardian comments section.
Such a tiresome soul.

right, just to add: it is basically killing my machine. I just tried rendering something on it and aside from rendering at a pace more akin to a zimmer frame than even a push bike it made the rest of my mac grind to a halt. I am going to reboot again to see if that helps but for some reason FCPX is suddenly being a complete resource hog. Hmmm, I have no idea of how to get out of this and this is seriously crimping on a tight deadline as it is. Ah, the joys of software.

Not too sure what you meant Jeremy. I didn’t necessarily want to create a secondary track with the two clips butted next to each other, but rather simply wanted the overlapping audio track to remain in the same overlapping position when in deleted some of the clips in the primary track but it wouldn’t do that as connected clips because they were connected at different places on the timeline.
Keith, I did make a compounded clip thing (name passes me by and am in reply mode so can’t check) which was fine I guess as it meant the two move together but isn’t really want I wanted. I like to visually see things rather than have them all in one compound clip and i read somewhere as you make more and more compounds they create problems… though that may not be the case anymore.
Anyway, for now, compound clips it is i guess, though seems frustrating we cannot connect clips to other clips. That obsession with the primary track is quite frustrating. Doesn’t even come in Tartan.

Bill, you really are a dick.

Oh, and yes, having conversations with myself is perfectly normal round my way.

Right, for those that may care, it appears that FX Factory upgrade deleted the Easy Looks filters from my computer, which was a tad mean of it. I had to redownload the filters from DV Shade and reinstall at which point they were fully active including registration, so I point my finger at FX Factory this time and yell “you sir, you smell of elderberries… ”
Why can’t things just be made to work? And when they don’t, can’t we bill these companies for our time we spend dealing with their errors? I’m self employed. 30 minutes wasted on fixing things other people broke is 30 minutes of billable time 🙂

Ok, the second filter wasn’t FCPXs fault, that was mine. I renamed a folder in my filters folder so I will hold my hand up to that. Though the complete lak of organisational tools in the filters section is insane. it was in 7 although at least there I could create a favourites tab with loads of folders in them. In X it goes where they bloody tell you it goes. Shame all the organisational elements of X aren’t in the filters area, where it would be really rather useful.
I am, sadly, willing to concede the first filter may also be a similar self imposed issue as I think the upgrade of FX Factory deleted my renamed folder so I could organise the filters sensibly, though it didn’t alter others.
So, though I am wrong in my rant in some ways, I shall save face and alter the direction of my rant towards the frustratingly lacking organisational tools in the filters section (not least of all being able to delete the Picture, Music and Themes buttons as they have no practical use to me and just take up real estate and processing capacity) which forces me to hack my filters folder just to find anything I want to use without having to commit names of every filter I like to memory.

Hmmm, it wasn’t just the looks filter which was a part of FX Factory, but also another filter from a separate company that had nothing to do with FX Factory.
I do enjoy wasting time redoing stuff. Makes the whole editing process so much faster than 7.
