Yes, that is exactly what people have trouble with. Managing a function that should not need managing. Avid has had a magnetic timeline practically since its inception. But I can turn it on and off. Accepting as a given that many people absolutely love the way FCPX works, I do have to ask how hard it would be for Apple to make it work for the rest of us? If they were really committed to the leading the NLE market this would not even be an issue. What they appear to be committed to is not admitting they were wrong.
