There is no way to re-arrange tracks. What I would do is put only the overlapping part of the incoming clip on the layer above the outgoing clip.

That’s a part of the whole FCP phenomenon. There are usually at least three ways to do the same thing in FCP. Some very apparent but less efficient, some extremely efficient but not so obvious. So often talking to a fellow FCP editor is like talking to a user of completely different NLE.

As far as I remember you can change names of the clips. You can even change names of the files but at the cost of a lot of relinking both in CT and FCP to maintain the integrity of the database.

I’m not asking anything. I’m stating that if instead of ranges FCPX had proper in and out points there won’t be any need for Shift-D.

There is a difference between understanding some concept and learning every workaround to use an implementation of a flawed concept for actual work.
There is nothing hard in the magnetic timeline, the Event Browser, the relational database, connected clips, compound clips to understand.

Visual feedback is the part of functionality. Visual feedback ranges give is different from the visual feedback in and out points give. With in and out points it is definite. With ranges it is ambiguous.
Modifiers by itself don’t bother me. Using modifiers in place where no modifier needs to be does.

[Bill Davis] “Input any three edit points and X does the rest. “
You cannot enter three points in FCPX. There are always four point.

Yes, I do complain I need a modifier key to perform something that wouldn’t need any modifier keys if it was designed properly.

An editor has very little control over who and why unless he is also the writer of the piece. The same goes for how. How is a director’s job. An editor has a lot of control of what comes after what but in case the writer did his job this isn’t much needed. An editor has ultimate control over what happens when and that’s where the art of editing is.

I can roll square things and carry the round ones but I prefer vice versa. FCPX doesn’t have ins and outs. It has ranges instead.In and out points allow for backtime edits. Ranges do not. That’s why they had to add a modifier key – to override the normal behavior. When did they think about backtime edits? Long after most of the app design was in place. What does it mean? The have no idea about editing.
