“I don’t know if you’ve ever had chance to see picasso or pollock at work”

Have you had a chance to see them at work?

Linked switched off. Vertical organization. Track jumbles. There is nothing to say your way is inherently better or worse, simply the track structure lends itself to working in this manner. You like to work this way because you can. Other editors hate the chaos.

All the best,

It’s a very fast and efficient way for you to work in the application in which you used to work. It worked well in that application because its design lends itself to that. I would suggest you work that way because of the tool that you used.

All the best,

Maybe Jeremy does, but I’m unclear. I might understand in a particularly workflow, but I’m puzzled why you’re using that.

The bar on top of the additional storyline is called the shelf. Grab the shelf and drag to move the whole storyline.

A favorite is a favorite. There is no favorite A and favorite B. Those are keywords.

Quite a few reports of the playhead flying back to the beginning of the project for random reasons.

Marking favorites or similar allows you to have multiple range selections in a clip. Some other marking indicator, such as the orange tag used in iMovie, could be used on a clip to indicate a range that’s been edited into the active project. Switching projects would should a different selection range. This functionality is already in iMovie. No idea why it’s not in FCP.

I’m having problems making a new compound clip in the event browser when nothing is selected. It remains grayed out until a select something in the event browser. I wonder if this changed in 10.0.1.
