The problem turns out to be a simple fix: Apple needs to color code roles, or better yet: let the editor decide the color code.
RED for VO
BLUE for MUSICand so on.

[Shane Ross] “Can you color your source clips? Does that color carry over to the timeline? “
No.
No.

[Andy Neil] “can’t adjust those IN/OUT guides in a compound clip”
That was my next “fix.”

There’s no autoupdate, right? The black frames have to be trimmed by hand, which is what I’ve been doing.

That’s what they said about germ theory 😉
It’s a pun…on “bugs.”
Oh well.

[Shane Ross] “BEing able to tell, by looking, what track is SFX and what is MUSIC. The magnetic Timeline is a complete mess IMHO.”
You have no idea! I mean it is so messy as to be ridiculous. Apple immediately needs to correlate a color with a role, or better yet, let me define that.
I label MUSIC, then it gets RED
I label VO, then it gets BLUE.And so on. Right now everything is green. That will solve my problem from yesterday.

What colored ribbon? If you can actually assign colors to roles, would someone please send me a clue!
You can also select clips via control-clicking and make them a Compound Clip (CMD-[ and ]) allows you to move between CCs pretty fast. Once they are a CC, you can adjust the audio as a whole, which is not a track, btw; it just pretends to be. Effects, EQs etc can be applied to individual clips and to the whole CC.
The solution here is not that complicated. Colors to roles. Then a window to view audio mixing. Assigned colors show up as levels, etc.
Thanks!

Letter D (and Shift-D) is what you’re looking for, if I understand your issue.

Funny you should bring up roles. I’m doing that today. Client comes in at 3:15.
each scene is its own Compound Clip. The VO, Music, and FX will be roles in the main project and then primaried.
Hope it works. Thanks for wishing me luck, in advance.
