Check out this thread if you haven’t already as it might help you with your workflow. Many of us have been using the “Favorite” command to mark a clip’s in and out (to keep track of what you’ve done) and use keywords/markers for everything else. I know it doesn’t quite answer your issues but may lead you in the right direction.

Try the steps in this older apple doc that uses Compressor instead of Cinema Tools. See if that helps:

You don’t mention how much it’s getting cut off by. Is the “Clean aperture information” checked in your Compressor h.264 setting? If so, some of your picture will get cut off. Read up on that setting and you’ll understand why.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to do that yet but if you have FCP 7 you could drop the master file in there and change the timecode.

What I do is just make a new empty Compound Clip in the Event and copy and paste all the clips from the Compound Clip in the timeline into that new one and put that new one (from the Event) in the timeline. And if it’s a Compound Clip I might want to use in a lot of timelines and get to quickly I’m trying to get in the habit of making it in the Event first.

I’ve been using Compound Clips as sequences, too, since it fits better with my organizational scheme than Projects do right now. Here is a thread where we’ve been discussing this:

[Olivier Lockhart-Matthews] “However, it seems to link to the optimised Prorez version of the clips when I select either higher quality or better performance, so what exactly is changing when I switch between these options and how do I get it to reference my original uncompressed media for a final export of my project?”
Changing to higher quality or better performance is not actually changing to a proxy or original clip. It is very similar to FCP 7’s dynamic playback settings but much better since it now has a 64-bit engine and can use your GPU (graphics card) to its limit. These also only affect your playback while editing and not your final output.
– Higher Quality will give you the best looking preview of your clip in the timeline playback but will sacrifice frame rate in order to give you the highest quality preview
– Better Performance will try its hardest to keep the frame rate at full speed at the expense of playback video quality
As far as referencing your original clips and not the optimized for playback (ProRes 422) clips try this:
Go to your project settings and set the render to Uncompressed 10-bit and then try and export using Current Settings. I don’t have 10-bit material with me to try this but from my understanding that is how to do it.
Also, are your Uncompressed 10-bit clips 4:2:2 or 4:4:4? I don’t think FCP X will let you export to native 4:4:4 clips yet unless it’s ProRes 4444.

[Craig Seeman] “Have you tried using the Project media manage type functions? I haven’t tested but I could have sworn one of them would carry over the renders and media from the Events as well.”
I’m not in front of my FCP X computer right now but I thought I tried them all. Maybe I missed a checkbox. =) I’ll keep playing around with it.

And it took over 3.6 seconds to come up with that name so glad it was worth my time David. =)
