What Apple Needs to Change in FCPX, Motion, and Compressor

Really? Because I've always been told otherwise, I'll verify with the MacMall guys in Torrance but if that's true and I can replace the optical w/o voiding the Applecare, I'll be purchasing two new drives real soon and keep the current one for backup. I'm real comfortable working on Macs. I've worked on every iteration of Macbook Pro and Mac Pro since they came out. Usually whatever parts Apple gives replacement instructions for in the Macs manual is fair game.

I've been waiting for FCPX Certification and will be getting certified within the next year for sure on FCPX and Motion 5.

I too like the flexibility of placing markers on clips, but when working on music videos I typically do not use the magnetic timeline since everything must be kept in sync to a music track that doesn't move anywhere. In instances like these, markers in the timeline would be helpful. The magnetic timeline is excellent for storytelling purposes though, I've used it the magnetic timeline extensively when working on promos and will be editing a documentary short with FCPX soon. Music videos are a different beast though.
