Hi Jon
Sorry this is not a solution but I have a colleague who has same issue. I emailed him to see if there was a solution yet but apparently its a fairly well known and common problem. He pointed me to this thread on Apples forum. Hope it gives you some idea of the scale of the issue and apparently Apple are working on it. But posts started in Feb so its been a while it also seems not only FCP is affected.
I hope its relevant to you – apologies if not.

Hi Peter
You should re-post your question in the FCPX Techniques forum. This is FCP Legacy and while someone might know the answer much more likely

Hi Michael
The problem is less likely to be your machine but more likely to be the speed of your storage. What kind of hard drive(s) are you using and how are they connected ?

Dear John
I assume your footage is 16×9 ? If so I would try an easy set-up using DV NTsC 24P (23.98).
If the aspect ratio is incorrect then in the browser just check the anamorphic flag which is a few columns to the right. Obviously if your footage is 4×3 you do not need to do this.
As its native DV you should not see any quality loss.ps I am in PAL land but that setting would make the most sense to me.

Hi Jonny
[Jonny Cates] “I wonder why Apple puts loops and jingles in the program to begin with? Surly they’re not put there for our own private enjoyment? “
They are not purely for private enjoyment, as the license says you may broadcast and distribute the audio content. I think the only restriction is that you can’t repackage individual stand alone content and sell or even freely distribute it as your own.
I totally agree with you that the copyright rules are in places crazy. I too agree that any creative work should be protected whether it be photographs, music painting whatever.
I would tend to think that YouTube have made an error in your case, I assume they use similar tech to Shazam where the waveform is compared to a database of known copyright music. I have used (mostly) the sound effects and a few of the drone style loops myself in broadcast programmes and the production have been happy that the content is cleared for broadcast. I have never had an issue with it myself. – Out of pure interest I might try just uploading a loop or jingle to YouTube and see what happens. Did they say who owned the copyright ? Apple presumably ?

Hi Jonny
The licence agreement says
You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds.”
Which I take to mean that you can use any of the audio content as long as they form part of your own composition. However you cannot take an isolated loop or effect (stand alone) and re-distribute it as your own work. In other words re-sell or even give away the individual “raw” loops or effects.
So you should be fine. Of course I am not a lawyer but thats how I interpret the license. It does seem odd that youtube flagged it as an infringement.

Hi
Merge clips is usually pretty straightforward. Obviously you use it to merge separate audio and video files into a single clip. You simply highlight the audio and video clip that you wish to merge. The merge clips menu should then be active and you can use various methods to sync the clips.
Either in or out points or timecode can be used.It does not create new media so you should not ned any extra drive space. However it is best not to store media on your internal drive. You should use a fast external drive for this. I cant remember the options on a macbook air. Probably Thunderbolt is the best option if you have it. USB is not quick enough for media and it will likely give very stuttery playback.
Hope that helps
best wishes
