It isn’t 3-4 clicks. It is exactly 2 keystrokes in FCP7: X then O to ripple head, X then I to ripple tail.

Production sound comes to me in BWF-poly files with a track for each character, a boom, an M+S pair and a production mix. I sync them to the picture takes and go on cutting the scenes. The production mix track is usually good enough so I just mute all other tracks. But I don’t delete them becuse when picture is locked I have to export each 2000 ft reel with all the sound. Almost every cut in there is either J- or L-cut so it is all arranged in the checkerboard fashion. There is also some M&E but this doesn’t complicate matters. So how exactly do I tag my production sound and how long would it take me? What if the budget is shifted from sound editorial to picture editorial and I need to give the sound editor more sophisticated stems?

[Simon Ubsdell] “for many purposes”
Invaluable for syncing dailies.

Chris, when the first person to cut a 35 mm feature in FCP 1 tells you something’s wrong with FCPX and the second guy tells you the same it is not because they are afraid of anything new. There should be some other reasons.

OK, let’s say “FCPX doesn’t have a Non-rippling Replace on Cue” and that’s really bad.

[Chris Kenny] “It’s not as if FCP X doesn’t have a non-rippeled delete mode”
It doesn’t have non-ripple Cut and non-ripple Paste.

I can live without Multicam but not without Gang and Replace.

[Chris Kenny] “It’s not changing the lengths of your clips.”
Wrong. If there is a transition by default it changes the lengths of the clip. And it is always changing the length of the program.
[Chris Kenny] “And most actions can be performed without rippling.”
Having to use workarounds is distracting.
[Chris Kenny] “It’s far more plausible that something that came out last week isn’t being understood properly than that something that has been around for almost 20 years isn’t being understood properly.”
It didn’t came out last week. It is one of the timeline modes in every second NLE, shipping or discontinued.

[Reed Black] ” seriously don’t understand how the magnetic timeline is confusing at all. “
It not confusing in the slightest. It just does the exact opposite of what the timeline in an NLE should do.
[Reed Black] “The magnetic timeline is very, very, very simple.”
Yes, it is.
[Reed Black] “It can easily be turned off by pressing the “P” button”
Wrong. Try to press “P” and then Command-X/Command-V

[Chris Kenny] “I could write this precise sentence in support of the magnetic timeline.”
Sorry, it wasn’t about magnetic timeline. It was in response to Douglas’ description of his approach to editing.
[Chris Kenny] “Coud you explain what you mean by this? How does it not respect timing?”
It ripples. Clips ripple. Transitions ripple too. The design priority was to prevent a user from accidentally creating flash frames and short gaps.
[Chris Kenny] “This has been the precise opposite of my experience.”
My apologies again we are just trading words here. I didn’t have an opportunity to see what you do in the non-magnetic timeline to make a comparison. Chances might be you simply “don’t get” the non-magnetic timeline.
