It adds the new clips to the keyword collection, it won’t create duplicates.

That graphic card of your’s is much too slow to have any fun with X, I would recommend 1GB at least.
And depending on how old your FW800 is, that could also have something to do with it. And X is very slow with the Intel Core 2 Duo.You should really upgrade.

What kind of Hardware are you using?
Are you using any third party plugins?
You might need to do a clean install of Mavericks and FCPX. Some people have been having problems after updating.
I haven’t had any problems with 10.1 sofar. I mean, in 2012, I had a 60 min experimental on my timeline, we started editing on 10.0.3 with an old-ass Firewire 800 drive. Other than the hard drive acting up, all worked well. And since 10.1 I’ve been flying.

Audiocomponents rock more than I thought! You learn something every day.

You can assign roles to individual channels without disconnecting? Looks like i got some workflow adjustments to do tonight. Thanks, Andy.

Trevor, I have delivered files with stereo tracks as you describe to DW-TV exported from X. I don’t see why it should be impossible, actually was faster than the FCP 7 projects I export when dealing with Pro7 or RTL. It really is a matter of getting used to working with roles in my opinion.

Dealing with roles is very easy in X, and exporting all sorts of Track variations is not a problem. its a matter of muscle memory.
I work for DW-TV in Berlin on Avid sound recording and editing for the hourly news, and I just don’t see why X couldn’t do the job just as well or even better, especially while I was working for Promiflash on X pumping out jobs like a madman last year, and having more time per hour to really work on the sound and fiddle with fx and cc.Rendering and exporting in 7 just takes too long.

Kannan, you don’t have to use a storyline nor Keyframes. These are just tips. In your case you simply cut the clips, they won’t move if you blade and delete. When your done you can highlight the clips from one “track” and turn them into a storyline if you like, X will put filler in between.
Assigning roles will take the same amount of time as assigning tracks for export in 7.
This job is an example where X isn’t faster than 7, until you export. Unless you don’t use any effects and export a reference, then 7 is faster in this case.
The speed of X really becomes evident once you start working with effects. And one thing, which really improved with 10.1 is that you can edit during import, and with 10.1 you can even export during import, even clips that are still converting. At least it worked with DSLR footage the other day.
I still get hired for 7 or Avid most of the time. But after having mastered X, FCP 7 and Avid get on my nerves a lot, and now that I’m close to mastering Premiere CC, 7 is looking even crappier day by day.

And before you export you would need to assign new custom roles to the audio clips, you can name them as you like. Then export a Quicktime with separate audio files and choose your custom roles.
And another tip: when cutting the audio its a good idea to turn it into a story line. Then using the Position Tool (p) delete the portions you don’t need. Whats left is the filler between the clips, that way you won’t move clips by accident and loose sync. Keep in mind that X won’t indicate if clips are out of sync.
Another way, instead of cutting, would be to use keyframes. Using the range tool, select the range you want to get rid of and pull the audio level down. then you get 4 keyframes. That way you can blend your audio and don’t need to worry about small pieces.

I would do it like Trevor’s second version, but instead of duplicating the entire clip I would simply detach the audio, then duplicate the audio. So the you have the image on the primary and two audio clips in the secondary.
