If it is the latter then Digital Heavens DH_SubtitleX is a sound investment!

Thankfully now fixed with the iTunes 11.2.1 update released today

Just noodling about with the new features on my MBP.
I’ve used X on shared and local storage over the last couple of years
and can never remember seeing that message. I have definitely experienced the loss of autosave though.
Excellent if it’s now flagged up and forces a quit before any serious amount of work gets lost.

This how I get the equivalent of a Alpha transitions to work in X as it did in FCP 7
I have been using the alpha transitions supplied with FCP 7

Put your ‘outgoing’ shot on the Secondary
Put your ‘incoming’ shot on the Primary and overlap by, lets say 1 sec
Add the Wipe Matte on V3 at the start of the overlap and apply ‘Stencil Luma’
Select V3 and V2 and create a compound clip.
This gives you the transition only, governed by the wipe matte

Drop the ‘Clip’ (ie Fill) on the next storyline above the transition and the ‘Alpha Matte’ on top of that.
Apply ‘Stencil Luma’ to the Alpha Matte and make a compound clip of those two clips.
Should now have a transition as required!

..and SHIFT+ Arrow moves 10 pixels!

Select T for trim, select shot in timeline ( +ALT for Slide) and use < & > to slip /slide
Use Shift <> for 10 frames increments

[Neil Sinclair]

Assuming we’re working in the primary, my method is to shift delete the clip after the edit, T for trim and drag over Gap clip. Long winded for an frequently used technique I know!

You can create a PAL only Broadcast Safe with Final Cut Effect in Motion. Just apply the Broadcast Safe to the Effect Source and change the default to PAL. You can then choose to publish the options
you may need. Save template, category etc. You should now have a default PAL Broadcast Safe
filter in FCP X. HTH

[Neil Sinclair]

Using 10.0.7. In the Inspector, on the video tab, Select Broadcast Safe, should find a Video Type option
NTSC or PAL

Thanks Tom. Initially tried that but it created a folder in the Project Library with the project name
but no project. To restore it fully I found if you close FCP X, rename the Back up as CurrentVersion.fcppro
and reopen then it worked OK.
