Hi Abraham,
I’m trying to change my location here: https://my.creativecow.net/manage_location.php. It doesn’t work.

[David Mathis] “Also, not sure if there is a way to export audio tracks into another program. This is something to consider.”
No OMF. Plenty of AAF.

There are two curbs separating video tracks from audio tracks. You can actually drag them apart and then they stick. It was many years ago when I ran into it. I’ll try to recall how to fix it.

Sorry. FCP7 of course.

Select Edit is V (watch for your Auto Select and Linked Selection Settings). The nearest edit will be highlighted and the playhead will jump to it. From there you can either call the Trim Window with Command-7 for two-up view or simply hit Backslash and trim with [ and ]. The length of pre-roll and post-roll for play around current are adjustable in the User Preferences.

[David Powell] “There are many advantages. A lot of FCP editors complain about Avid’s modal model. IMO this is what makes it so powerful.”
It doesn’t. It is just some functions better implemented. They don’t mandate modality.
[David Powell] ” And while you’re on the edit you hit the space bar and the edit will loop while you make adjustments it updates in realtime! “
With an edit selected hit play around current and trim with square brackets.
[David Powell] ” Lets say you play past an edit point and realize that the timing needs to roll exactly to where you stop the playhead. With Final Cut you have to click on the edit (there is no “select nearest edit hotkey which drives me crazy”) then reposition back to that point in time, then hit extend edit.”
There is a Select Edit Shortcut in FCP7. It will select the nearest edit. The problem is it will take the playhead to the selected edit. Select first, then extend. Not as neat as Avid but not as bad as you make it to look.
[David Powell] “In Final Cut you have to select each clip then choose color then correct, then choose the next clip. In Avid you simply enter CC mode and any clip that the playhead is on will automatically be selected for CC so you can just hit next clip or play and color correct shot to shot.”
Select all clips on the timeline. Apply 3-Way CC. Select “Open” from playhead sync menu.

Go to Browser and double-click any sequence

If you are on full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad type Option–(NumPad)Zero then Command–(NumPad)Zero to deactivate Auto-Select on all tracks. Then type Command-(NumPad)1 to activate Auto-Select on V1. Control-V won’t affect other tracks.
By the way, why don’t you create a real multi-clip in the Browser first and then drop it to the timeline? It will give an N-up display and keyboard shortcuts for switching between “cams”.

[Joe Gutowski] “I want to edit with individual clips not sequences, so short of re-importing the footage what is my work around to make an individual clips from these sequences?”
Are picture and sound clips in sequences linked? If yes, Select All, Copy, switch to Browser, Paste. If they aren’t linked, link them.
[Joe Gutowski] “Also would it be more efficient to work with a proxy file?”
Yes.

[Shane Ross] “Why? Just use the line cut until you want to not use it, then cut to an ISO. No need to do all of that to the Line cut.”
Many reasons. Badly matched cameras, lots of recuts anticipated. Things can get crazy. On this year Russian Fort Boyard I had five different “line cuts” and no ISO’s. Every trim was a surprise.
