Why would a file that plays fine in QT or in other apps become out of phase when brought into FCPX? Do the stereo channels get switched somehow? I noticed it happens with any AIFF I import. This only started happening in FCPX10.3.1.

They’re panned center stereo files. Stereo monitoring.

They’re converted from 192kbps mp3’s. The exported aiff’s sound great, but in FCPX they somehow sound really squashed (compressed).

As a matter of fact local 700 the motion picture editors union out here in LA held both tutorial classes in FCP 7 & AVID. Many top films were cut on FCP 7. ABC, Showtime(east coast) had in house facilities that were dominated by FCP 7. Now all going back to Avid. They’ve dumbed down the software too much and makes it hard or even impossible to accomplish some of the simplest tasks or convolutes industry standard methodologies that were based on decades of practical development. It’s kind of like reinventing the automobile with concrete square tires and calling that an innovation.
FCP X will do well being a finishing tool for iMovie, but that’s about it. Kids learning FCP X will have a harder time learning Avid if they ever get an opportunity to work in Broadcast & Theatrical.

If a post house sees a well edited reel from an applicant their first question may be “what did you edit this on” and when they say FCPX, I think the answer will be “You did THIS on THAT? You’re a better editor than I thought.” It’s not about the interface, it’s about the talent in orchestrating pictures, sound and emotion in a real time experience.
If you were applying for a job at a post house or broadcast/theatrical job they sure as hell care what you did it on because they’re all Avid. If it takes you nine days to cut the first scene of a show because you don’t know the software your job security will be in serious jeopardy.
FCP7 had a chance of changing things. It was headed for total dominance. ‘Psych’ was cut on FCP7. Movie & TV editors were starting to embrace the software. But FCPX squashed all that. It’s buggy, missing important features, and hampered by presets.
Boy, now I’m really depressed…

Thanks for all the suggestions. It seems that I must reinstall the software. The match frame button simply doesn’t work. I did however get to do a match frame utilizing Scott’s advice. It works one way but no the other. Weird huh? This was a fresh install as well.
