[alban egger] “The trick is to find your way of working for your projects with the tools at hand. And you need to choose your tools according to your work.”

Well, an editor is an editor because he/she can cut a video with any app including movie maker. The tools are what makes the job easier, the project smoother and the changes faster. In it’s current state FCPX is not doing the majority of my job easier but only a fraction of the tasks at hand. Using a locked audio track for a music video edit was the fastest way to edit to the beat. Using a workaround to do the same thing should have been an option. Not the only option. I’m amazed by the technology in FCPX. But the Magnetic Timeline seems to have caused more trouble than help from my POV (BTW it should have been named Magnetic Storyline, shouldn’t it?)

BTW if you have a compound clip with transitions inside, when you “uncompound” it you loose them. So making and breaking compound clips is completely useless in this specific task.

There was only one trial download available from the site and that was the BCCUnits705Mac.dmg file.
This was the installer for mac 3D Objects Trial Version.
It is the one I downloaded.
If I need to download from somewhere else please advise.

Thanks for the quick response though
