I’ve only had this happen on odd occassions. Most of the time paste attributes and selecting content works perfectly.
Where I find it doesn’t work it if I copy a clip and paste attributes say adding filters motion opacity etc. One work around it to manually drag the fx from one clip to the other but even then I do find that the keyframes can get screwed up. It seems like FCP trys to past the keyframes at the same point in the UNEDITED clip. So if you open the clip into the viewer from the timeline, you will see the key frames there just nowhere near where they are supposed to be. Lets hope for a fix in 5.

With the Avid you are LOCKED IN to DV.
With Final Cut Pro you can do anything from 320-240 to High Def.
The interface is by far more intuitive and the suite of products that come with it way more powerful. (FCP Studio)
Final Cut Pro is the most popular editing software in the world by a long way.
You will be future proofing yourself. The next crop of editors coming out from film schools in the next few years
won’t even know what an Avid is. (slight exaggeration here but it I am seeing strong evidence of this already) -
Hi there. Couldn’t you set the preview pre-roll to 0 and preview post-roll to 1 second. Then using play around current that would give you what you want. No?

I think you are thinking of After Effects. To do what you say you have to COPY (Command C )the clip and then PASTE ATTRIBUTES (Option V) and select CONTENT. This will retain all the filters motion and keyframes etc.

I have good reason to do this too. I edit offline jobs with mirrored media on a regular basis for a Post Production house.
They cannot risk going to FCP 5 straight away as they have tight on-air deadlines. I email them the project file and they
compile the show and add there own graphics. Works brilliantly. However I would like to move up to FCP 5 for my other clients. -
Thanks for the tip! For anyone not wanting to go and look, you basically position your mouse over the play button of the canvas, go to full screen and click play. If you haven’t moved you mouse you should be ok.

Makes for a bit of a bit of a disappointing read. Seems there are very few major updates or corrections to media work flow.
i.e. Subclips are still treated as Master clips, big mistake. Log and Capture still looks as clunky as ever, as does the
patch panel on the timeline which still has 6 buttons for each track. HOWEVER being able to capture more than two tracks of audio is big news for me. This at least will bring Final Cut Pro up to the same level as Avid when going for those jobs that have more than two tracks
recorded in the studio or the field. Multi-camera editing looks impressive as well.All in all if it’s rock solid stable I will be more than happy to upgrade.

A few people including myself have asked for this. Hopefully Apple will listen. I’ve mapped Shift-SpaceBar to toggle source/record. That way you can easily keep you fingers over the all important J K L.

I was hoping that this would fix the full screen playback issue on a single monitor but it doesn’t.
