All simple, project-based compound clips created on the timeline. For example, I create a title, add a transition at the head and then create a compound clip. Later, when I need to adjust the title, I can’t break it apart. There doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to when this happens. Some of the quirks I’ve encountered with FCPX will disappear with a reboot – not this one, though.

This has been a typical part of my workflow since I’ve been using FCPX. I don’t think I’m doing anything differently than I was prior to 10.0.3.

I’ll crawl back under my rock now. Clearly, that’s where I’ve been 😉

Thanks. I came to the that conclusion after some reading. Seems like a mild hassle just to strobe footage in FCPX.

Let me clarify my initial post. I’m talking about zooming to a portion of the timeline–not “zooming” e.g. the Ken Burns effect. BTW, did Apple really have to call it the “Ken Burns” effect?

Thanks for the input. Animating the opacity works, Patrice.

Tom, I see what you mean re: connected clips and storylines. I’m just getting up to speed on FCPX, so the storyline behavior is new to me.
