10.0.6 Quirks etc...

Are they separated into Mono channels or stereo pair channels?
Stereo pairs show up as one channel. Mono channels show up individually. With the clip in a Timeline, select it, go to the Audio tab in the Inspector, reconfigure the channels. You should see it update in the Timeline in real time.

They're set as mono... it's a puzzler. Also, The waveforms aren't showing up in the clip in the timeline, no matter what view I choose. I suppose I can reinstall the app, but it's be nice not to have to...

Trash prefs?

Or take 30 min and reinstall. Which is way easier than the 4+ hours those 7 or 8 DVDs used to take, if you didn't lose one, and didn't lose that tiny sticker with the serial number on it. Anyone miss those days?

Trashed the prefs already. I'll try a new event first, if not I'll reinstall...

Its strange when I go to import DSLR footage it now only gives me the option to have it imported into the FCP Events folder. Moreover it automatically changes the name to the date and time it was created. Is there a way to change this?

when you select a range in the event browser and view it in the event viewer, it doesn't show you the in and out points markers like it did in fcp legacy or any other nle.

Hey everyone!

A couple things...

1) I can't seem to 'undo' anything! I see that the last action is there in the pull down menu, but it's grey'd out.

2) With BG rendering on, after a clip has rendered, in this case a simple text title, if I make a change to it in the inspector (animating it), the changes/adjustments will not show up. I have to move the title around and get it to re-render for the change to show.

That's all I'm seeing as of now.

Anyone else experiencing these issues?

I found the adjustment layer I made no longer works under 10.0.6

The one from COlor grading central works though



I also find Tonalizer Lite does cause way more of flickering/flashing problems with exported files. It happened in 10.0.5 and prior but can be solved by deleting all render files before doing the export. But now under 10.0.6 even deleting render files no longer works.

When I turn off Tonalizer the export files look perfect without those flickers/flashes.

Don't understand the skimming in the browser comment. Not sure what you mean.

So when a clip is displaying in the viewer (and I'm talking a two screen configuration here) it would be nice to have a reference as to where you are on the viewer itself. A bit like how it was in FCP 7. This way when you have a clip that is over 20 minutes long in the browser you could have a little more control over where your playhead is skimming.

Does that make sense? I thought Apple were saying that if they did a viewer it would have to be special. While I love it, I was hoping it might have some secrets.

Imagine if you could skim over the viewer itself and while you did that you got a little filmstrip down the bottom showing you where you were. Much like how it works in list view in the browser.

My main "quirk": Create a keyword as a bin and then rightclick the bin to import something INTO THIS BIN. Media always ends up in the event without being keyworded.....I now have to find it and drag it back to the bin again. Does this work for you or same as with me?

that's a mockup, right?

I've noticed a quirk that when replacing a clip, even if it's set to video only, it'll bring the audio with it. Any one else?

Other than that (and I've just started playing with it really), I feel like the program got much snappier as a whole, especially the range tool...

I had the undo problem and restarted to restore normal operation. Scared the heck out of me as I had just deleted a large section of timeline and was unable to retrieve it. Keep an eye out for it to do it again.

FWIW, creating a new event and project resolve the inability to expand the audio as well as the waveform weirdness. I guess the takeaway from a lot of this is that pre .6 projects behave oddly when using the new features in X.

That would be incredible!!

I’m digging the viewer, great for referencing color-grades against the original clips using match-frame and matching actions when making cuts but it is a bit limited.

Better then nothing I guess although I got quite used to working without it.

CAN'T EDIT - everything start slow, freezes and end crashing since the update.

I'm editing the Behind the Scenes documentary for a feature film. I have almost 3TB of footage. Since FCPX couldn't handle one event with so many clips, I divided it into about 20 events. After doing that everything was working fine, I could edit with no problem in 10.0.5 - After updating to 10.0.6 I can't even work, everything it's EXTREMELY slow and it ends up crashing all the time.

My config is MacBook Pro i5 2.3 8GB RAM with the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion. The only thing I added to the standard FCPX are some template titles that I downloaded from this website.

How do you export a still image now?

It was in the share menu but now it's no longer there.

Found it - Add Destintion in the Share window - Save Current Frame

Weird. Working in a project started in 10.0.5 and when I click on the footage in the event folder, the audio channel configuration doesn't show anything! C300 footage.

Thoughts?

I just created a new topic for this, but I figured I'd repeat it here since it's relevant in the hopes that someone can help...

While playing with the added/improved features that have been ushered in through the 10.0.6 update, I've come across a glaring mistake: You still can't compare two clips from the Event Library in the new dual viewer option, which would be perfect for color correcting clips in an edited sequence. As far as I can tell, you can only compare a clip from the Project Library and a clip from the Event Library in the new dual viewer option.

I have no idea how Apple could have made such an obvious mistake surrounding one of the things that could truly make this a professional tool. Whether I've missed something extremely obvious or a trick that isn't entirely intuitive, does anyone have any advice? Even if it's just the best way to contact Apple to request - what I imagine would be - a fairly easy fix.
