Thats pretty cool – have you had a chance to see how the auto analysis works? It created a bin of “steady” shots for me that was actually pretty cool for just messing around. Haven’t tried the people stuff yet, but plan to this weekend.
Man, if I could figure this out, It could save me TONS of time…

HI John,
I haven’t experienced this. What system are you running? I’ve done a few filters (bad film, etc) along with a generator that was composited multiply (playing in real time mind you).
Would love to help you trouble shoot this…

For a temp workaround (at least as far as I know), you can still export a movie, compress using compressor (even adding in chapter markers) and then bring your project into DVDSP and do whatever fancy stuff you do in there.
Haven’t had a chance to really dig deep into the DVD land, so I don’t know exactly what it’s missing, but burning a disc is quick and easy. For more advance DVD’s I’d use DVDSP, or Adobe’s varient (which is fantastic).
Remember, you can still just export a movie… it’s not like FCPX prevents you from making a DVD.

Aindreas, that is in no way helpful.
Andy, I had a similar problem and was able to solve it by opening up Compound Clip settings and changing it to manually match what I was putting in. I thought it was supposed to guess, but maybe it’s a bug.
The Compound clip settings menu can be found by clicking the clip, going to the inspector (top right) under the INFO tab. The gear at the bottom has a menu option for “Edit Compound Clip Settings”
That should do it!

Yes, it will take footage shot in a different frame rate (say 60p) and if you drop it onto the 30p project, it will conform it. There is a menu option under the retime menu to do so as well I believe. I’m doing some tests and while some of the frame rate stuff I’m seeing is wonky, the scaling seems to be very good.

I just put together a rough cut of a :60 commercial in record time. All the audio automatically synced. The filmstrip allowed me to very quickly pull great reaction shots. I even auditioned a few, just for kicks.
Certainly ran into a few bugs (what’s with it always defaulting to 720p??) and still getting used to a lot of things… but it sure is fast.
Now back to trying to memorize the 5 pages of keyboard shortcuts…

In the top right corner, there is a print icon. Click.

Good advice.
I will report, however, that I have both installed on the same partition and have had no problems going back to FCP 7.
However, my FCPX performance isn’t as smooth as some, so maybe this has something to do with it (doubtful – probably just need more RAM and less crap on my system)

I spend 10 hours of my day minimum in front of a screen so I prefer to read it on paper… I did print double sided.
It is available as a PDF if you “print” to PDF.

That was excellent. Thank you!
