If you double click the edit point, not the clip, you will open the precision editor. Is that what you’re doing? What happens when you double click on an edit point?

All the best,

“Other than trashing a clip, what other changes would alter the master clip?”

None that I know of.

“how is it harder to relink?”

It’s impossible. The clip is effectively lost and has to be reimported.

All the best,

Tom

Sorry, no. FCPX has very limited tape capture. It’s basically play and record.

Might I recommend Philip Hodgetts’ Event Manager X to make this fairly painless.

Quite right. Only with different collections. It’s the most annoyingly anal application on the planet. Even Aperture and iPhoto and iTunes let you create playlists and folders and albums as you like. Only FCPX, oh and yes, iMovie of course won’t let you.

“the only way to associate items with each other inside an event is through common metadata.”

Aside from putting anything you want, any random association of material, into the event and puttIng that media in folders in any way the user chooses.

Actually no, I’ll correct that. It was a perfectly reasonable discussion until you joined.
