[Jeff Feaz] “that didn’t resolve the issue of the push transition also affecting the primary storyline.”
I’m not seeing that with the “Push” transition here, nor should anyone for that matter. What am I missing? Or are you applying it to a title?
EDIT:
oh wait… a push of just ONE clip/image on the secondary, not between two? Okay. Yeah, the only way to avoid that would be to compound… OR, which I think will usually be more preferable to a compound, push between another clip/image whose opacity is set to 0 as a somewhat silly workaround. Oddly it doesn’t work with gap clips, which it should.– RK

[Noah Kadner] “You could dual boot”
Sure?
Because there are plenty Macs that don’t run on anything older than what they shipped with due to e.g. certain hardware drivers such as various flavors of Thunderbolt and the likes… as in this case Thunderbolt 3?Whether this is one of them I can’t say, since I don’t know why I would even want to downgrade my system, but a call or visit to Apple should bring quick and definitive clarification, no?

The only way you’ll be able to do that (that I know of) is have the Videoanimation-Editor (⌃V) open for the clip, select the Transformation bar and hit ⌥K when you need it…

[Tony West] “I have recently noticed a pretty big shift in color from QT 7 when sharing”
Pretty much one of THE biggest reason for it’s demise, yes.
Have you ever looked at “KYNO”? Pretty amazing what that offers along those lines.

Simply hit ⇧T and the keyframe button at the top left of the viewer?

[Steve Connor] “I’ve got so used to blading a clip then adding a dissolve to change the correction after it that I’d forgotten about key frames!”
I know, right? ????

[Oliver Peters] “however, this is more of a shot across the bow at Affinity.”
Agreed. Especially since Affinity already made Photoshop a thing of the past for me and many others a very long time ago. With the Windows version even that many more.

[Oliver Peters] “Because it will make the product better without requiring third party solutions. But I suppose most of the faithful X users don’t care about that. That’s coming through loud and clear on this thread!”
The ol’ “sheep” argument? Really? ????
Where’s the shame it not seeing need for or desiring something one personally doesn’t need, or in being content with what’s there? For many it’s equally (if not much more) of a question of how in the end than what or if. My preferred approach as well. Not like others who apparently strive for the longest feature list, with little to no regard for actual usability.In any case, I just finished some more extensive corrections in X, so I thought I’d come back to this while the experience is still warm in my noggin, which it wasn’t as much previously.
First off, amazingly, no one here ever mentioned: keyframes! Nobody misses them? Because that is actually one of the few things I’ve missed from day one, yes. Not being able to keyframe a correction/grade, e.g. for changing light conditions, clearly is quite the oversight. And yes, some sort of standard automated white-balance correction seems oddly amiss also, even though I’m more than capable of doing those myself and usually do anyway. I just know that’s something a lot of less experienced users need. If only the auto-balance were more reliable (and adjustable!) as far as that goes it’d be less of an issue also.
Having also gotten some custom LUTs from the cameraman, that area could also use some respective improvements/abilities as well, yes.
As far as color WHEELS are concerned? Sure, if it’s, as suggested, an option and not a replacement, why not? If that makes FCP more accessible and makes fewer brains go “Ew!” and shut down because they don’t get it right away, then go for it.
And would I like to have curves etc. by default? Sure. Anyone that has bought anything like Chromatic, Color Finesse et al clearly would, too! But to suggest that those that don’t NEED that level of control, which I’ll guarantee you is the vast majority, are somehow categorically against them or would somehow be upset if they did show up is just narrow-minded polemics. I suspect some are just afraid it’d lead to something a lá “elsewhere” where you have everything in your face all the time whether you want or need it or not, much like Bill (rightfully) argued. Something I’m sure Apple would never do anyway. As with so many other things, tuck it away by default and leave it to those that actually NEED it to pull it up. As long as it’s lean and mean, which I’m sure, if anyone, Apple is able to deliver.
And yes, anything that keeps me “compatible” to the rest of the FCP world when I want and need a higher level of control along the lines of CF etc., without requiring a purchase on the side of my counterpart to collaborate, as well as anything that removes as much need (as I even have left over) for ever passing anything over to Resolve as possible, is surely welcome, too! I just don’t want a Resolve in there, nor does the typical X user imho. As many times as I’ve heard “but I’ve got Lumetri!” (or whatever it is they use) in a nyeh nyeh tone, is as many times as I’ve seen complete confusion in that same person’s face when asked how to actually use it. 😛
Like I said, I think FCP already offers fully sufficient (whether super-“pro”-flashy or not) correction tools for the vast majority as it is and there are options for the rest. And with any other app on the planet, there is always room for improvement on any level. I’d e.g. just as much love to see a few things happen for audio for example as well. We’ll see.

[Neil Goodman] “you should pay attention instead of combatting every point because it doesnt suit your needs.”
The irony and projection continues… ????
Now if only some contribution of value on the actual subject would follow, as opposed to only jumping into threads to combat every(one’s) point just because it doesn’t suit your “needs” (whatever that even means)… gee, what a concept.
Your putting me on ignore would be a huge service to everyone, yes. Thanks! Much appreciated. ????????

Oops… double post? Oh well.
