What are you hoping for in 10.3?

Actually there is an opacity handle when you expand video animation and then Compositing.
But it´s only linear and it´s still some clicks and taps away...

• Faster way to do fade in/outs in video. And with various curves. Maybe an opacity handle like it is for audio fades)

Don't you use a transition for this?

Off the top of my head, that I don't think has been mentioned yet...

1. Remove attributes - I find it kind of funny that this wasn't just automatically part of the addition of the "Paste Attributes" feature that was eventually added.

2. Drag Effect From Inspector to a clip in timeline. Essentially another, quicker way of copy and pasting attributes.

3. Markers on the actual timeline, not just on clips. Would be cool if you could click (wth a modifier?) and drag them to be moved somewhere else instead of having to delete and recreate new markers.

- A non keyboard way to select a secondary storyline. It is annoying to have to click on the boundaries of a secondary storyline every time I want to edit something into it. I can select a clip within a secondary storyline simply by mousing over and hitting the "c" key. I would like to have a similar ability to interact with secondary storylines

- A way to assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle between proxy/optimized media

- SVG support for FCPX/Motion

Actually it has the same ease ins and outs as the audio fades.

I really want to have killer color grading and an elegant way to round trip from FCP X and Motion.

Yes, this has been mentioned already, but I have some a big ideas about what it should look like.

Motion should be a fully-functional node-based 3-D compositing environment complete with modeling tools, full texturing capabilities, real-world physics, and particle systems.

(I want Fusion 8 and Resolve capabilities in my FCP X timeline.)

1. A Two-Up Color-Grading display (like PP)
2. Scrolling Timeline
3. Roles-Based Audio Mixer
4. Remove Attributes

Basic stuff IMO.

Color Finale (with the new favourite effect shortcut assigned) has changed my work on FCPX in a big way. So much better to work with.

I don´t think so.
Maybe I´m totally mistaken but there is no ease in or ease out with the opacity handles. You can achieve the behavior with keyframes but that´s not what was asked and what I was talking about.

Right click the line between keyframes. You're right, it does not work on the actual opacity handle though.

All good!! Can Motion be brought up in this thread? I am still earnestly hoping that Apple can find the way to bring back external monitor capabilities for Motion, this is so needed!!

Warning pipe dream ahead: On the topic of Motion, does anyone have an opinion of folding it into X? Something along the lines of a compound clip with a selection on type of clip it will become (eg., Motion or compound), and stepping into it clips would be displayed within the Motion environment. Comps and environments etc. completed, step back out and the clip behaves in same manner as a typical compound in Project. Render and done. Would elevate X to a new level.

Thanks!

That's interesting. Unfortunately it only works between keyframes, it seems? So I have to open the clip with ctrl-v, then click the opacity triangle, then create two keyframes (but have to move the opacity handle in the beginning first to place a keyframe at the beginning) then I can make a different curve.
I wish there was opacity handles always available on all video clips just like there's always fade handles on audio clips.

For titles and attached clips I prefer to use opacity. Especially titles as they are turned into a secondary storyline and take up much more vertical space when a transition is added...
