[Steve Mullen] “1) When I click on a clip with an FX it highlights the clip and I can see one frame from a clip in the Viewer. The Playhead doesn’t, however, move to this point so when I move pointer to the Inspector controls the Viewer reverts to the frame where the Playhead is. So the correct clip is highlighted and the Inspector has its controls, yet one is not looking at this clip.”
Option click on the clip.
[Steve Mullen] “2) I’ve always wondered why Color, Correction 1, Transform, Crop have blue squares (Active) before I even apply any of these kinds of FX. In fact, why are they even listed in the Inspector because I haven’t applied any of these FX? Seeing the blue makes me think that I’ve applied an FX I don’t remember I’ve applied. Solution?”
They are all active but with default settings.
[Steve Mullen] “3) I’m trying to create a Widescreen look (2.34:1) and have cropped each clip. Then I’ve slid the wide image up/down to keep action within the wide frame. But, how do I get all crops to line-up in the vertical center of the 16:9 frame for a Project?”
Overlay color solids cropped to the look you want and move the clips behind them. Make it a compound clip and you can use it in multiple projects.

If you play back a mono clip in the browser it will be about 6 db louder in the browser than in the timeline EXCEPT if you change its channel configuration in the inspector from MONO to LEFT or RIGHT. Of course, then the audio is panned left or right.
I’m not sure of the reason for this. I would think it would be louder or the same in the timeline since it would be “DUAL MONO” with the MONO setting.
I know that certain audio mixers will “dip” a mono signal when it’s panned to the center versus full left or right. There are also mixers which compensate by keeping the level the same throughout the pan.
It appears that FCP X follows the former model.

Select the clips in the browser, right click, “Analyze and Fix…”.

Do you have “optimize media” turned on in import prefs? If so, turn it off and re-import.

On my system (an R4 with Thunderbolt 1) all lights are always on and blue. The bottom lights flicker when the drive is accessed. I have never seen any other color and BM Speed Test typically shows 400+ MB/sec RW without any lag or other issues. Promise is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone.

Interesting. I have seen issues with previous versions that were cleared up by version 10. I have been running 10 for a while with no issues. I guess YMMV.
