Not having used the multicam feature, why don’t you A. Don’t capture footage with timecode breaks.
B. Capture each clip individually. C. Can you multicam subclips? If so do that.Apple Certified Final Cut Pro Trainer

Anyway back to the question that was asked. With downloaded iTunes music is it not possible to convert it to an .aif like you can with music that you’ve imported yourself? Or is this blocked? Have to ask because we have not ITMS in Oz. Record companies here are such recalcitrants.

Yes you can. Export the bin as a shot batch list with the columns you want, then import into excel or similar and print.

Exactly. I work on very large documentaries. Thousands of clips. I like to have several bins open in their own windows.
It would be great if I could make one bin have large text and another small as one bin might have 20 overlay clips while the other 100 interview grabs. But as soon as you make the text larger, everything gets larger. So your bin with interview grabs becomes two words only in the description field.Apple Certified Final Cut Pro Trainer

But WHY link the two. Why not have a separate control for timeline text? Ok for all of you luck enough to own a 30″ Cinema Display congratulations. But for us poor slobs on 20s and 23s it makes the timeline impossible to read. You see about 3-4 letters of the word if there is a lot of cutting. It really makes no sense at all to link them. It’s a stunning oversight IMHO.

Don’t we all mate. But these days your expected to be a all singing all dancing jack in the box who cuts stories faster than real time.
At least in OZ anyway.Apple Certified Final Cut Pro Trainer

Well I’ve just fired up Compressor 2 for the first time and it certainly looks like you CAN MUX MPEG 2 files. WOOOHOOO!!!!!

Yes I like them all. No in fact I love them! Studio as an upgrade is worth every cent.
Compressor 2 is awesome. Soundtrack Pro fantastic. There is a lot of great stuff that has happened under the hood to FCP as well.
All welcomed. I just can’t understand why some of the fundamental things that have bugged
users for so long haven’t been addressed. Using it, it just feels looks and smells like version 4.
I was just hoping for more I guess. Maybe now that the engine is done, the next upgrade will do the upholstery and
the body work 😉Apple Certified Final Cut Pro Trainer

Yes I hear ya. The fact that you cannot add an edit in empty space on the timeline like you can in Avid is something I doubt that Apple will change. FWIW it was more often a curse than a cure on Avid as it would often add them for no reason at all which would drive me crazy when trying to edit around them. As pointed out the track forward button should be your new friend. I use it so much I’ve mapped it to the timeline button menu.
