FCP 10.1 - are used media ranges working for you?

I've noticed that [strike]marked ranges[/strike] used media ranges are not working at all for me in 10.1. I'm mainly working on updated events from 10.0.9.

How is it working for you?

What isn't working? I/O is marking a range. Shift- Cmd -I/O is marked subsequent ranges.

I'm terribly sorry Tom. I meant to say the new show "used media ranges" feature.

(I wonder if I can edit a topic name....)

I'm sure you have it enabled in the View menu.
Next, do you have the appropriate timeline active?
That's odd, I haven't seen it not work for anyone yet.

I've just got the bug for one multicam clip only. I can't also copy/paste attributes from it, so I think the multicam is completely dead but working fine, video speaking... odd. This Bug was already present with 10.0.9.

Otherwise the new function works just fine

For some reason that entirely escapes me the used media range display if off by default. You have to manually switch it on, and of course it resets whenever prefs are trashed.

I maintain 4 machines running FCP 10.1, with 3 different editors and none of them have seen show used ranges working. Case in point:

1. Here is one project ( just did a shift-F) on my iMac at work:
Notice the used ranges are seen in list view, but not on the filmstrip itself.




2. And here is another project on my MacBook.
Nothing in list view,or in the list view filmstrip.



3. And another from the MacBook which does work.



Humm. I think I see a pattern here. It doesn't appear to work at all with Multicam clips. But sorta works with Synchronized clips, but doesn't show it in the filmstrip just in list view.

Can anyone confirm this?

BTW. I did a search in the Final Cut Pro manual. No mention of restriction on "Show used ranges".

Ahh. Well just when I had a good theory going... Here is a connected clip that is just not synced. B-roll, no marked ranges seen:

(this is on my iMac)

Well then I grabbed another b roll clip (after shift-F from the timeline) and did an append edit.

Then the used ranges shows up:



So can anyone confirm that this is working with updated projects, or just new projects?

It is working for both updated and new Libraris/Projects for me. Multicam is not supported (that's a complex thing to deal with, assume it will come in the future). Although, I don't trust updated Projects to work properly most of the time, just to be overly cautious.

Synchronized Clips don't show used media for me in filmstrip view. At least they now "Reveal in Browser" right.

I've changed the subject line for you

Thanks!

Peter. Thanks. Can you delete this topic then:

You can probably delete this post too.

I would love to be able to open a Project and see orange highlights for all the clips used in the Project, but this does not appear to be available.

It appears that the Used Media Ranges are only displayed for basic clips in the currently open timeline. So, not only can you not see used clip highlights for clips used in multicam and synchronized clips in the active timeline (as someone else pointed out), but you can't see them for compound clips either.

My current project is built with nested compound clips:

The main Project has 3 main sections, and each is a compound clip. Each of those 3 primary compound clips has several secondary compound clips inside of it. And some of those secondary compound clips have smaller sections I decided to simplify as compound clips.

So the Used Media Ranges view isn't very helpful to me. I can only see what clips are used when I have drilled down so I am inside a compound clip at the lowest level, where there are only basic clips in the timeline.

Am I missing something about the Used Media Ranges?

or...

Am I setting up my project the wrong way? (Am I still stuck in the FPC7 paradigm?)

My systems are showing the same bugs as tpayton. Something isn't right.

It's a bug. Apple is on it.

Yes I can confirm that used media ranges are indeed flaky. Sometimes showing up sometimes not for me.
