You could do this with a compound clip but that would make the sequence editing less flexible. I’d suggest lasso edits instead.

Consolidate media will retain what’s actually in a Project timeline and skip clips that were ingested but not included in the timeline.
Unfortunately, it has no direct corollary to the way FCP≤7 trims unused portions of clips. If you use one frame of a very long clip in a timeline, the entire clip will be included in the new Library.
More on that here:https://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/fcp-x-rules-of-the-consolidate-command

For my $.02 simply dropping the ‘or not’ would be reasonable enough. It’s redundant and adds a negative slant to what is generally a healthy debate about the future of post tools and the human beings using them.

With your MP4 focused needs I’d definitely go with the iMac as it has a built-in H.264 hardware encoder that the Mac Pro lacks. See here for more details on that https://www.larryjordan.biz/mac-pro-video-compression/
Shameless plug- FCPWORKS can set you up with one of these systems tricked out for FCP X if you’re not sitting with your credit card trigger finger on another provider already. 🙂

Post a still of the image before applying the key filter.

Hard to tell what it would require without actually seeing it in motion but it might be a bit beyond that- perhaps more real 3D and/or After Effects.

In Preferences make sure you have Editing>Inspector Units set to Pixels.

The inspector shows much of this info. If you really want super precise you could create your own overlay image with the exact pixel specs and use that for a guide.

So…. what’s the question? And why aren’t you asking the reseller directly as it’s their sale to make.
