Matt,
I tried this recently. It doesn’t work and now I’m facing a quandary.
Closed FCPX down; opened my scratch drive; created new folder for archiving; moved events and projects to respectively named folders; 3 weeks later came back to look at them; moved events and projects BACK to their original folders; all I get is !!!!!!!! in my project.
Am I doing this incorrectly?

If you use some of the delivered Compressor settings, make sure the audio is checked on the Inspector.
As for going direct to Compressor, I get the same inane time to completion, so I just Cmd+E and render overnight.

Stan,
Perhaps turning off background rendering in your preferences will assuage your worries?
Final Cut Pro>Preferences> Playback>Rendering
It’s not an issue I have but I’m hoping this presents a solution for the moment?

Stan,
Background rendering was introduced in FCP X and is, on the whole a great feature that is hardly given the credence it should be.
Pre FCP X you have to CMD+R or to wing-it but now FCP X, as you noted will render the project out for you.If you dislike this feature, that makes use of every single core of your machine available, then click on the duration clock under the ‘canvas/viewer/ window and turn it off.
I find it saves time over the long haul, but horses for courses.

Apologies Jeremy, I meant scaled.

This sounds really odd, responding to myself ….BUT
Having clicked on Transform and having done the business there and then clicked “DONE”
I found I couldn’t use the Crop tool. No icons, no buttons, no keyframes the whole nine yards.
BUT, if I selected Distort and then clicked Crop, all is well. (You can tell I haven’t played with the distort tool yet, as it was the first time I noticed it.)

Mark,
The steps I go through are: (they may be pedantic but bare with me please?)
1. Highlight the clip in the timeline
2.Press CTRL+V to open the Video Animation section of that clip.
3.Select the effect you want to copy.
4. Use CMD+C to copy it.
5. Highlight the clip you wish to impose those parameters on.
6. Press CMD+opt+V to paste the effecthttps://reels.creativecow.net/film/copying-effects-to-clips

Michael,
I use Compressor 4 and my GoPro and have found that Compressor 4 is more efficient in the set up and use of multiple cores/ clusters etc.The UI is much the same as Compressor 3 – which could be a good point or not, depending on how you are sitting on your chair.
The integration between FCP X and Compressor 4 is better – though that is a personal comment.
Ingestion of GoPro mp4 into FCP X goes smoothly and without a hiccup, in my experience.
That’s all I can say as I’ve never had to think about it, personally.
Regards,
Lawrence
