[Jeremy Garchow] “In FCPX, I can skim a whole batch of organized selects in the browser, or skim what’s on my timeline really easily and quickly and always see the relationship between the two. I know I am in the minority in this regard, but I do find FCPX to help me get a more encompassing view of my footage (both edited and selects) in fairly short order with minimal fuss/double-clicking/copying/pasting. I find this helps the creative process, but what do I know? :)”

For me this is part of the core advantage of FCPX, this is the part I find the most exciting but also something that is hard to get across without using FCPX in a real world situation.

Now there’s an idea!

Welcome Brad, it’s great to some fresh insight on FCPX here, feel free to post here or on the techniques forum if you need any help with the new project.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Alas, I still dont use fcpx for paying gigs, yet.”

As a quick aside, why don’t you? Is it the lack of broadcast monitor output

[Mark Morache] “For example, you cannot use the I and O keys to set edit points on anything except the primary storyline.”

I’m worried this statement may lead to some confusion, Just to be clear you CAN use the i and o keys to place clips above or below the primary storyline. You are NOT restricted to editing directly INTO the primary storyline with the shortcut keys.

However you CANNOT mark an in and out in a secondary storyline!

[Franz Bieberkopf] “I’ve discussed my process previously as well as the model for editing in FCPX, but I’m not looking for responses to that here – I’m genuinely curious about how people approach the Primary Storyline question.
“

Wow, I forgot about that thread, after re-reading your workflow I have to say again FCPX is NOT for you, it’s not designed for your sort of workflow at all.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “as this strikes me as antithetical to the way I work,”

Best way to illustrate might be for you to state a brief example of how you put an edit together in the timeline.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Thanks for the link – I don’t really monitor the techniques forum and I had missed this.

David Lawrence’s suggestion here is genius – I can imagine any given “storyline” as having multiple tracks.

… utterly off-topic but interesting.”

I think if Apple do relent and give back some fixed “track” elements then it would be good solution
