Ctrl-P then enter the TC takes you to the position. Use that to go to a TC point in the Event Browser or timeline.

I’m sure they do get away with more than other app developers. But perhaps there are some things they don’t get away with. Check out the podcast. I’m pretty sure he states what he heard from people who work on FCPX directly.
If I’m wrong or it’s more complicated than what he said, then I’m happy to retract what I wrote.

In listening to Philip Hodgett’s Terence and Philip Show podcast last night, it would seem that it has something to do with App Store sandboxing. Sounds like the FCPX team is bound by the same rules of non-Apple developers. Could explain a lot of things.

I say edit in the program you are more experienced in. That said, depending the speed of your system premiere does a pretty good job of exporting gh2 footage relatively quickly.

I got the same line when I got a business quote the other day. More fuel for me to not get one right now. But I believe that they will re-initiate it in a few months.

How about if you copy/paste into a new project?

Just curious – Have you updated to 10.0.7? If so, same thing occurring?

One thing I noticed is that the timeline remembers the last marker you were on. So if you were on positioned on a marker, but moved the playhead to another marker, you have to press ctrl-; twice. Once to get it to see the current marker you are on and then one more time to move it. Also, if a clip is selected, it doesn’t see the marker as selected. So you have to press ctrl-; twice in that scenario as well.
Another idea – open the timeline index and see if there might be some additional markers +/- 1 frame to where you are. Sometimes they overlap and look like 1 marker.

Andrew – funny that you posted this today because I spent the weekend re-training on Media Composer. I came to much the same conclusion. Multi-user workflow is solid. I was lucky to learn from a great editor who works in commercials and who I actually taught FCP legacy. So, it was a nice trade-off. We could speak the same language. I’ve still got a long way to go, though.
Agreed that Avid’s rigidity is a frustration to the (in my opinion) logical workaroundability of FCP legacy that I was used to. Avid has a solid workflow and so much TV and film have been made on it. And yeah, it has it’s tradeoffs and plenty of bugs, too.
It does exactly what I want it to do with second source audio using the Autosync function. And it looks like Pluraleyes can now plug into Avid. Subclipping is brilliant in that you can trail back to the original clip with original source audio. Change a filename in a bin and, boom, it changes in the timeline.
Effects, well, don’t work the way I want them to – but, they work! And plenty of people use them. Scriptsync is a brilliant function when you have a script or transcriptions.
I’ve spent a year and a half with FCPX and, for me, it’s ok… sometimes. And yeah, it’ll mature, bla bla bla, we’ve heard this a million times on the forum. I might use it on an overseas news shoot/edit that will shoot DSLR and non-timecoded second source audio. But overall I’ve come to the conclusion that it has it’s limits and I don’t have time to troubleshoot them anymore. I really need a tool to work the way I expect it to and to fit in well in my working environment (which is LA). So that’s why I’m diving back into Avid to re-learn the ins and outs.
Also, not trying to cast a negative light on any FCPX or FCPX editors here. I see that you can do some amazing things with the software. These are my opinions about where FCPX and Avid fall in my career right now, given months of meticulous use and based on years of experience. I respect your NLE choice and opinions, too.
