Awesome to see other people’s work in here, I especially liked Michael’s record store doc: https://vimeo.com/35334800

Attach to the text to the primary story timeline by selecting the text generator and hitting q so that it sits on top of your video (or a gap).
That should let you put a fade or dissolve without affecting whatever is underneath it.

I’m not aware of any “auto-cleanup” but it’s easy enough to do it yourself. You can safely delete the render folders in the project. I generally just delete the “High Quality Media” folder and leave the other 2 since they’re usually pretty small.
You could also just turn off auto-render.
Hope this helps.

Liesbeth:
I have a feeling apple already knows about it, but I think I found a workaround if it’s still giving you trouble.
Double click your problem compound clip so it opens up in the timeline.
Adjust the volumes of one of the tracks, like lower the volume half way down. See if there’s audio in the event browser now. If there is, set your audio back, and you should be good to go! (for now…)

Dave, please do a test! I’m doing a massive export right now or I’d try it myself. This thread seems to think you can:

Looks like you only have the fade on one of the elements, I agree that a compound clip is the easiest way to do it. Just select both, right click, make compound clip, then slap on a fade.

My event is on an external drive, so I just tried it on a different computer with FCPX installed. The audio that had previously dropped out is still missing in the same place even on the different computer. Strange, I’m guessing there’s some sort of corruption that’s traveling with the event folder.
Liesbeth, here’s the link again since I messed it up before:

Trashing the preferences didn’t help, but it’s not as dangerous as it sounds. FCPX makes a bunch of backups and it’ll just reset all your preferences to the defaults. Just duplicate the file and delete, then if it doesn’t help you can rename the duplicate back to the same as the original to restore:
This is really driving me crazy, happens randomly in the middle of the clip while I’m keywording.
Liesbeth – were you keywording at the time?

It sounds like your computer and ram should be fine.
I think you’re problem is the partitions. Most HD’s already spin slow for video work, and the fact that you’re hitting one hard drive up to 3 times spread across partitions is probably the biggest culprit causing the slow down. And considering that they’re relatively small partitions I can’t really think of any advantage to keep it partitioned. Personally I’d back everything up on that drive and reformat it with a single partition.
If the external is USB 2.0 then that will also really slow you down, and I imagine particularly with the partitions. I edit with a US B2.0 external, and it’s not bad. However I only use Prores proxy and I keep both the project and the event on that drive. I have all of the source media stored in the event folder as opposed to references.
Protip: A good editing practice is to never store media on your system drive. You want to keep your system drive stable, light, and fast. If you’re storing media or projects on your system drive that could also cause more severe slow downs depending on your setup.
Here’s an easy way to check the format of your clips:
-Right click and select “reveal in finder”
-Open in quicktime.
-In the menu, select “Window” and “Show Inspector” (Command-i)
You should see your format in the inspector. If it’s h.264 or HDV or MPEG2, this will also slow you down, and I’d recommend allowing FCPX to transcode to proxy or optimzed.————-

I just started experiencing this issue too. Maybe I haven’t done much organizing since 10.0.4 but for some reason when I’m going through a clip I’ll lose audio playback on a compound clip. It definitely seems like a bug, but so far I haven’t been able to recreate it consistently.
