That may be just what I’m looking for.

Thanks Jari.

It looks like it’s time to learn how to parse XML code.

That’s what I was afraid of. I guess asking to be able to export timeline index data to a spreadsheet is out of the question then.

Thanks for the reply Bret.

JP,

Try downloading the recovery software from the card manufacturer.

(From toward the bottom of the page you linked to);
Image Rescue 4 software is available via download, enabling you to recover the majority of lost or accidentally deleted photo and video files, even if the card has been corrupted.

Good luck

I believe they quietly removed that feature from CC2014. (I don’t know about you, but I could never get it to work right.)

set the camera iris manually instead of using auto iris.

Yes, that was one of them. Now that I think of it, I believe they all used the Opacity setting.
Apparently the person at Apple who designed this particular interface never actually had to use it. Just try adjusting the keyframes for something that is off screen at the keyframe. What a pain in the backside.

Thanks Jeremy!! That took care of my problem. I was about to pull out what little is left of my hair. You’re a lifesaver.

So what I posted in the screen caps is normal behavior? I did a few searches about keyframe interpolation in FCPX and they mentioned using the Video Animation window and opening a curve editor by pressing the disclosure triangle next to the parameter. If only one parameter has a disclosure triangle, the window seems rather pointless.

Oh well, back to work.

Thank you.

Thanks for your response Jeremy. That’s how I thought it was supposed to work, but there’s something strange going on with my version of FCPX.

When you open the Video Animation window, there is no disclosure triangle for Transform. When I select Position I can see the keyframes. I can move them in time or delete them, but I can change the interpolation or see the curves. If I select a keyframe and right-click, the only option I’m given is ‘Delete’.

This must be something specific to my installation of FCPX. I can’t imagine that a bug for such a basic function would be allowed out. It looks like I’ll have to try re-installing FCPX. Do you know of any issues I should be aware of when trying to reinstall?

Thanks again.

I keep 2 copies – one on HD and the other on an LTO tape.
