[Paul Figgiani] “I applied a verb to the Role in clip’s Roles option in the Inspector. I then switched to Sub-roles and added a gain plug to all Sub-roles. The verb on the top level Role was retained. Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you guys are referring to …”
Yes. That’s correct.
If you do the same to a subrole, and not on a Role, then switch back to Roles Mixing in the Audio Configuration, your effects that you put on the Subroles seperately (and not on the ‘parent’ Role) will be lost. Just try it. (It’s easier for us because in the tutorial you see it in action).https://mathieughekiere.wordpress.com

[Paul Figgiani] “Not the case. You can apply effects to discrete sub-roles while retaining any effects applied to the parent Role.”
No no, I know that. But in the audio configuration view in the inspector you can choose between Roles Mixing and Subroles Mixing. If you choose Subrole Mixing, put effects on separate Subroles, and then switch back to Roles Mixing you loose Those effects. The same is NOT true for effects on Roles.
I saw it in Ripple Trainings 10.3 In Depth tutorial. The application even warns you for it when you switch back.https://mathieughekiere.wordpress.com

Did I understand the Ripple Training tutorial correctly, if you chose to mix with a Compound Clip in SUBROLES View, and you put effects on subroles seperately, and you go back to Roles View, you lose the stuff you put on the Roles view?
I kind of understand the logic behind it, but it’s good for people to know, and to add it to the discussion about the mixing.https://mathieughekiere.wordpress.com

Well, you are being snarky indeed ?
For one, I never said Walter Murch’s opinion isn’t important or that the opinion of people in the business didn’t matter. Although I know you probably weren’t talking about me specifically (although I started the thread).
Because I think someone with Murch’s credentials, and an influencial book, and his changing to FCP when he was one of the first to do it on a big scale, makes me interested in his opinion.He also had very specific reasons for not wanting to work with FCPX.
I’m wondering how someone that has won oscars for his sound editing, would think about a system like those new roles and audio lanes.And again, I also want to broaden the discussion to why tracks still have relevance. I was ‘raised’ with tracks too. I really had to get used to the magnetic timeline, and I didn’t like it in the beginning either. But now I can’t see myself going back to them. And a lot of people, even people who liked the magnetic timeline, said that they missed the visual overview even with Roles, because they were scattered, in audio they were all green, etc. …
I am interested in hearing people’s feedback.For myself, I have the feeling that the whole idea that it’s based on content, and it doesn’t get in your way DURING creative editing, while with the new features it still holds a lot of visual overview and even automatic ‘track-management’ or automatic ‘visual-organisation-in-the-timeline’ management, I don’t see how one could go back to the system where you have to make sure you click the right stuff before you put a new shot in. But again, I very much enjoy the discussion.

Just for your information: I’ve read somewhere that the developer of FCPX Hacks said his program was not safe for 10.3 yet.
Don’t have experience with it myself. It looks like it has some nice features, but I don’t know if FCPX Hacks has the potential of making FCPX more unstable and if so, I don’t know if that’s worth it to me (I think the name doesn’t help :-p)
Anyone with experience?https://mathieughekiere.wordpress.com

The fact that it still doesn’t show all titles of the stuff you have in queu in the background monitor bothers me more. Still, i am very happy with the update.

I know they are different (although I wouldn’t call them completely different – I always regarded components as a ‘more expanded’ view of audio than normal expand) but doesn’t this new view kind of let you have an detailed video open while editing, without toggling constantly? It seems like a good thing to me even if they lost the normal expand option (which I can’t verify yet, I just downloaded the new version)

I always complained to Apple that I had to toggle audioclips open (Expand) and that Every new clip I put in a timeline again, I had to expand again. I am going trough the new tutorials of Ripple Training about the 10.3 update and it seems like it is quite the opposite and the new system kind of does what I asked: you have a chance to put components open in one view and keep them open instead of constantly expanding.
Am I wrong?https://mathieughekiere.wordpress.com

The ‘feature’ that you are missing that it allows you to quickly see stuff in the timeline. So if you would have Dialog and Music and SFX Roles set-up, with one click you can see all those (for instance) Music clips quickly in the timeline 🙂

You can use the timeline index to select everything on your right or left from the playhead.
