Proxy preferred means if there are both proxy and originals, the application will play proxies. If there are no proxies it will play original/optimzed rather than just putting up a missing file warning.

What version of the software are you using? Did you download the Canon plugin?

” I do however go from black to 100% from a clip which has been preceded by space.”

You do this exactly the same in X.

“I beg to disagree as I would often drop the transition on the start of a clip, not making it span the previous clip because, lo and behold, I had a gap in my timeline and achieved exactly what I wanted.”

I’m sorry, but this is simply not true. You had to move the clip in the timeline if it was abutted to another clip or it would always extend the adjacent clip to create an overlap. I just tested it again. Dragging and dropping would create a start on edit transition, bit it would still extend the adjacent clip for the overlapping handle.

All the best,

In legacy FCP you could not place a transition solely on the start of a clip of it was inline with another clip. It would always extend the other clip if there was available media. You could shift the center of the transition bit you could not disconnect the transition, not without detaching the clip from the inline clip.

I don’t know how to pirouette and I don’t need to. Really moving one second is that difficult for you? Jeez.

You don’t need the Cmd-P. I just do it out if habit fir moving the playhead to a location. Plus or minus is all you need.

All the best,

Tom
