Re: Interesting article on using FCPX for Broadcast

maybe a little bit - all you're really saying there is that you can make an attached clip, I'm talking about editing into something other than the primary.

mark morache says this better than I can - and I reckon he's putting in at least as much effort into this as you are:

I've tried putting audio as the primary storyline, then adding b-roll as a secondary storyline. It feels awkward to me. I really like using I and O on the timeline, and even if I have the secondary storyline selected, it still sets the region on the primary storyline.

After I set my points, I can hit the Q key to make a new connected clip, the hit P and drag the connected clip into the secondary storyline. #awkward

If I set my points THEN select the secondary storyline, my range disappears. The only way I can select a range in the secondary storyline is with the range tool and the mouse. #awkward


the point I'm trying to make here is that it really is in a sense a single track editor. everything after that is a mess of poor metaphors and stupid workflow. I find it ludicrous. It feels cumbersome and stupid.
