Audio in FCPX…the Jim Giberti Technique. I highly suggest it.
In a nutshell, you start your picture with a gap clip. Then attach a secondary piece of audio to that gap clip. THen turn the secondary into a primary.
“P” is your friend here because it allows you to put audio in the primary wherever you want it by placing it and then sliding it where you want. You can assign a role to it and export accordingly.
In X there are effects from Logic built in and they sound great. You can then create compound clips and apply effects to the whole CC (a kind-of bussing).

What about avid and or premiere?

[Jeremy Garchow] “If you need to open a Location on another machine, you simply release it from the current machine, and the other machine adds the Location. You don’t have to do anything in the Finder.”
I was thinking if two editors were editing the same thing. (Mike is working on audio and Mari is working on picture.)

[Bill Davis] “I agree that if you’re in a “facility” environment, then the central storage mode is less useful in X than in other software.
“[Bill Davis] “Yes it’s currently best for individual and small group video creators. But the foundational structures are there to let it grow into much, much more.”
That’s not how Jeremy describes, fyi. Each folder on a SAN is its own event, if you choose to mount it. Once that folder becomes an event, no other editor can open it…unless they duplicate it first via finder.

[Chris Kenny] “Take, say, a high school student who wants to try to break into shooting and editing by trying to book wedding jobs. This kid isn’t a ‘dedicated professional editor’, but it’s not too hard to see him buying FCP X. (And if he’s really interested in editing, who knows what kind of projects he’ll be booking five years later?)”
Nailed it exactly, for me. I’m a Digital Media Arts teacher. I just won a grant and bought iMacs and FCPX along with Adobe Creative Suite. I still need Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver. But I decided not to teach After Effects because of the price barrier.
Two of my students just won scholarships. They shot short films and documentaries. They are so eager to learn it’s amazing. They are 16.
What kind of projects will they be booking when they are 21?

What is that small mac tower thing behind his screen?

[Jules bowman] “And maybe a save as. “
Just to be Mr. Obvious, you can duplicate a project, which is the same thing as “Save as…”

How many 30 films are edited in 10 (while drinking 20)?

[Kevin Zimmerman] “How do you deal with the one edit per project architecture of FCPX? “
They changed the nomenclature, which is a bit baffling.
If you’re trying to comply with a NDA for example, then the way to go is use .dmg and keep the stuff separate, by unmounting and mounting as you need.

Then they stole technology from Motorola.
