I’m not sure I know what that means. But you can of course use the Timeline Index to find/filter clips. And if you see a orange “Used” bar underneath a clip in the event, then that means it’s being used in the active project/timeline.

I highly doubt that there’s a way to change the default LUT. But if you have the LUT Utility, why not use it?

That’s what the “+” is for in the pref pane. Create the LUT (e.g. in Resolve) and load it in there. Done.

[Walter Soyka] “I think there’s a good reason for introducing new terminology. The FCP X magnetic timeline/sequence/project/whatever does not work the same way as traditional editorial open timelines do, and a new word for it underscores the difference.”

Exactly. But in the end it’s still just mere semantics either way. Name them by their name, use the old terminology (where even possible), just call them window or A, B and C. It’s utterly irrelevant and doesn’t make any difference in terms of understanding how FCP X works per se, how to find your way around and use it efficiently, let alone have any bearing on the quality of ones edit. IOW calling it a timeline or a sequence or a project or a window or uncle George has zero bearing on any of it. And as I said, if nomenclature is actually still anyone’s biggest gripe, then X is clearly worlds better than suspected and has obviously come a long way for them to have to try that hard. A rather tired red-herring imho.

That said, pretty much everyone I know simply calls e.g. the project “timeline” at least half the time if not always. As do I. “Problem” solved. Anyone that’s actually confused by that (which they aren’t) obviously doesn’t even know the first thing about NLEs to begin with and won’t last long in any one of them, regardless of nomenclature.

I’d say that horse has been sufficiently flogged. I can think of a plethora of actual things that have actual relevance in the context of usability, that would actually be worth talking about.

Used media? Where? Selection, in the event, yes. ⇧I and ⇧O.

Nice example of something we call “Freudian Projection”. You’re so caught up in your own vitriol…

… but do top it off with the last word. It’s all yours. But don’t bother to use it to substantiate your claims. We’ll just take your good word for it. 😀

But I personally simply use FCP’s own backup feature and have set it to back up to my Copy folder. https://copy.com?r=D4Fz3M

Still waiting on that answer…
