I built FCPX Title and Effect versions that support basic color customization. 4 colors (blue, yellow, white, and red). I also included a clip/sequence opacity control slider. 1.78:1 supported aspect ratio.

Any interest?

In the Project Settings, check the Audio Channel configuration. Make sure it is set to Stereo.

[Craig Seeman] “I watched the tutorial and as I understand if you go from Subroles back to Roles you lose the FX applied to the Subroles just as you describe. Basically it’s either Parent and Roles or Parent and Subroles, not Parent, Roles, Subroles.

Paul you may need to clarify if you’re finding otherwise. Perhaps post a screencast showing it.”

Thanks, Craig. I’ll check it out. I applied a verb to the Role in clip’s Roles option in the Inspector. I then switched to Sub-roles and added a gain plug to all Sub-roles. The verb on the top level Role was retained. Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you guys are referring to …

[Mathieu Ghekiere] “Did I understand the Ripple Training tutorial correctly, if you chose to mix with a Compound Clip in SUBROLES View, and you put effects on subroles seperately, and you go back to Roles View, you lose the stuff you put on the Roles view?
I kind of understand the logic behind it, but it’s good for people to know, and to add it to the discussion about the mixing.”

Not the case. You can apply effects to discrete sub-roles while retaining any effects applied to the parent Role.

[Brett Sherman] “I wish they had allowed Role Effects at the Project level and not required a Compound Clip. This would have solved the problem. Unfortunately at this point I don’t think there is any easy fix for this problem since it’s built in to the architecture.”

Brett,

If I understand you correctly, you’re assuming that you cannot add audio processing EFX at the Clip and/or Project level unless multiple audio sub-roles are wrapped into a Compound Clip and exposed?

What about using the Timeline Index to display audio sub-roles at the Project level, exposing each individual stem? In this case you can easily apply audio EFX to each discrete sub-role.

If you look at the attached image, there is a reference Video, a Surround Stem Role (with 6 sub-roles), a Split-Stero Role (with 2 sub-roles), and a 5.1 Interleaved file (with 6 sub-roles) and Focus activated. The file is designated as “6 Mono” in the Inspector, with each Mono channel assigned the proper sub-role. With each Mono sub-role exposed via Timeline Index, you can easily add discrete audio EFX.

Of course this doesn’t solve applying clip level EFX combined with Bussing multiple sub-roles (routing various clips to a common Bus).

Create New Preset in Compressor. Select Quicktime Export Component. Set the Encoder Type to MPEG-4.

Then Settings/Configure. Customize as needed.

Try the Adaptive Leveler in Auphonic. (Desktop app. or the Web Service). You’ll need to process the audio outside of FCPX. Then re-import.

[Ryan Ritchey] “Without “video” checked though, won’t this only encode an audio file? I would still have to merge the two together somehow, correct?”

The above screen shot only shows you the Audio attribute settings. You can customize video options as well:

Use the Quicktime container, selectable in the Queue Panel as the first step:

Ryan,

Export a a Multitrack QT Movie (Master File) with defined Roles in FCPX:

Then do this in Adobe Media Encoder:

Notice the Codec selection. It will only work when selecting Uncompressed.
