Certification requirements for FCPX have not be decided. They will probably be announced sometime near the release of the FCPX training book in September.

If only there was a way to get the back onto the video.

1. Did you try using the automatic color balance function? If you can’t do it with that you’ll have to use the color board.
2. You can copy a clip and paste effects to other clips Opt-Cmd-V.
3. There is no output from X. May never be FireWire.

Go to the inspector. In the audio panel down at the bottom is configuration. Switch it to dual mono and uncheck the track you don’t want.

I agree with you, but I don’t think this software is designed particularly for users who do versioning, rather for people who simply put together a project and output it. One time and out. That’s this product’s audience.

Because the HDV specification does not allow for 1080p60.

“Tracks are a digital emulation of the behavior of physical recording devices that were limited in their flexibility by their mechanical implementations.”
This is just not correct. Tracks are an emulation of time. They are linear and they go only in one direction and events occur on these tracks at intervals of time. The objects on the tracks is the relationship of when they occur, not a relationship to each other. What’s important is not that objects at related to each other, but what they represent occurs at a specific instance in time. That’s what movie and television and this whole medium is about. What you’re describing sounds like painting, a wonderful art form, but not one that has any time reference.
Apologies but I’m trying to write this on a phone and the text box is minute.

“because they have no fixed relationship to each other.”
Except that they’re abutting each other. The application is spending far too much energy and functionality trying to protect me from myself and not enough just trying to help me. Because of this behavior we’re constantly having to do workarounds.
The application touts its magnetic properties, which are really excellent. However, if you break something apart it is now completely and irrevocably free-floating, no reference to where it came from, no connection, and no simple way to put it back together again. The application will help you, but if you override it in any way because you have to, like editing video and audio, then it falls apart and refuses to co-operate, like it’s throwing up its hands and saying if you want to do that you’re on your own.
“what would happen to the transitions?”
The same thing that happens in most editors, the transition either disappears or gets attached to the remaining clip that’s unmoved.

Actually I think that’s the real problem is that things that I think of as vastly simple have become substantially more complex. Reduce the audio of a single mono track. Add a transition to a B-roll shot. Add a super above B-roll. Cross fade audio tracks. Transition between sound bites. Just what pops into my head at the moment.
The secondary storyline is more of a problem than a solution. When you edit the B-roll clips they are inherently associated with what’s below, even only if as Randy Ubillos says in the editor’s head, though they are associated by being a time-specific event that even a 30-year EDL can understand. The secondary storyline however is physically connected to some other part of the primary and not associated with the time-related event directly below it. The connected clips work as a concept, but the execution has left it flawed.

And storylines can only have one connect point and everything on the line has to move together. This is going to get you into trouble down the road.
