Try create optimize media (on import) and see if that works.

I just taught my 70 year old former boss to cut on FCPX and he is rocking with it.

Jeff has it right. I use the range tool in this situation all the time, and then you can adjust the audio animation to your taste by moving the keyframes about.

[Steve Connor] “As for shutting the forum down it would be a lot simpler if all the people whingeing and moaning about the content here just stayed away and left us all to it.”
Sounds like a grand idea.

[Bill Davis] “Maybe so much constant X hostility in the forum – and constant billboard posts featuring anything but X – has sunk into the markets consciousness and come home to roost.”
Remember, there are only a few dozen “active” users here and their roles are well known. I would hardly take this as true data.
My bookmark is now on the FCPX Techniques site, where there are real users with real questions. I link here from there. Maybe this forum should be shut down as (a) there is no longer any debate and (b) not much about FCPX except from the usual suspects and the other NLE discussions can retire to the proper sites.
.My humble opinion and I now wait for Tim’s 12 paragraph blistering response! 🙂

[greg janza] “Avid, while now considered Niche, was at one time the gold standard for NLE’s”
Key word is “was”. Why emulate that?
Trust me, I cut a bunch on Avid products in my career. Having been a freelancer for so long, I can thank Avid for allowing me that career. Hell, I still own a little stock in the company (yeah, THAT was a great investment!). It is still the gold standard for Hollywood and broadcast, but you must agree it is struggling outside those niche environments.
[greg janza] “And many of these latest developments are really just getting us back to where we were many years ago on Avid. Shared projects, locked bins, etc. All standard Avid features circa 2010.”
For a small percentage of editors.
more blood…. 😉

[Herb Sevush] “so what do I care how many other aps they make for CC.”
I care because they are spending subscription dollars developing them. Selfish, yes, but I don’t want to pay a monthly for sh** I don’t use.

[Herb Sevush] “Unless your a programmer I venture to guess that you don’t have the slightest idea of what “bloats” the software or not.”
Feature bloat, Herb. Feature bloat. Like you, I know little of the code behind it.
It’s like the creeping bloat of the CC as a whole. I want a good editor. I don’t need a “social panel” nor VR. Nor do I need 75% of the rest of the cloud. I want a solid, fast editing platform where I decide how to expand, not paying Adobe to decide for me.
…blood in the water! 😉

[Oliver Peters] “Maybe you should read this:”
I found these lines interesting:
“But FCP X? I can only speculate because I am confident I know nothing. No hints, or conversations that I can recall that would give any clue to future plans.
I would not rule out collaboration in Final Cut Pro X at some future time. Should Apple decide that’s something they need to allocate resources to, they will, but we agreed they won’t do it until:
They can do it right (in terms of engineering)
They can make it as accessible for the high school group (with no IT help) as they can for a ‘Hollywood’ TV show or movie.”“It’s not surprising that the Resolve and Premiere Pro approaches to collaboration are very similar to that in Media Composer: people involved in the original Media Composer implantation now work for both Blackmagic Design and Adobe.”

[Oliver Peters] “Makes it more Avid-like for collaboration. “
[Oliver Peters] “Apple really needs to up its game and come up with a similar feature before many shops take X more seriously.”
Why? To become more like Avid? An increasingly niche product? What good can come of that?
No, let’s hope Apple keeps focusing on a product that is fast, stable and works. One that can be expanded with approved plug-ins for those who need it, not bloating the core software. Focus on integrating Motion and Logic for the shops that DON’T need shared or multi-editor projects, which I would dare opine are the vast majority in the visual storytelling space. Zag, Apple, don’t zig with Adobe. 🙂
