Hmmm, for the audio crossfade, I hope this solution can help you: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/344/420
I don’t know how to do a ripple delete across ALL footage. But I guess you can collapse the footage into a compound clip and perform the ripple delete on it. Give it a shot 😀

[Simon Ubsdell] “It doesn’t get the speed wrong as you suggest”
Are you sure about that? My footage after the hold is played at a slower rate, although it displays “100%” in the retiming bar.

The retiming tool simply lies to you. Parts that say 100% speed might play slower, some parts play slightly faster. Without you ever knowing.
You can test it for yourself: Press shift+h. You’ll find that the part after the hold is played at about 70% speed even though it sais 100% and you can’t do anything about it. For example, press shift+h just 2 frames bevor the end of the clip. Instead of holding the second last frame for two seconds followed by 1 frame, it inserts multiple frames at the end.
Also, there is no way to accurately adjust the timing via the keyboard. I can’t use “change duration” on ranges, which is unfortunate.

This is the FCPX forum. There is nothing professional about it.

Hm… Actually I really dig the new timeline in FCPX. But that’s about the only thing I dig about FCPX.
Over the past years I have learned how to use the traditional editing tools to get the results I want. With FCPX the results that I want do not change, but the way to accomplish them changes. The paradigm of the new timeline speeds up most of these ways. Let me try that again: Tt provides short-cuts to the results. And it still provides all of the traditional tools, but they are accessed in a different way.
I am extremely angry at Apple for this release and all their FCPX sh*t, but the timeline aint one of the reasons. It’s really good.

It goes even further than that. After you select the gap and double click on the timecode (or control+d if you’re a keyboard junky), simply type in the new duration (for example “510” for 5seconds + 10frames) and hit return. The gap will resize to the entered duration.

It was just a matter of time, I guess 😀

Using Compound Clips as replacement for Sequences was my approach from the very beginning. Don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

I for one am able to tap out markers in real-time with the M key.
That said, yes, the retiming tool is quite amateurish (and buggy, too, slowing down clips even it sais 100%). However, you can still use the old workflow where you cut the clips in several parts and retime precisely.
