Re: Apple engineers versus an editor's ability to set persistent in to out points in their footage.

[David Lawrence] "Nope. ;)"

You can't triple stamp a double stamp.

[David Lawrence] "Favorites/keyword collections are a powerful/flexible sub clipping system. I think it's one of FCPX's best features. But marking an in/out point is different than subclipping. In/outs are persistent, but temporary, like the clipboard. They don't need to be added to a subclip list and kept forever. It's a subtle difference, but the distinction is important and the utility is real."

While I see how you can associate favorites with subclips, and when you sort the Event by favorites it gives you some semblance of subclips, they don't have to be. We should also disassociate favorites from keywords. They work very differently.

How do you define persistent? From what I understand of the word, temporary does not fit.
