Re: Editing scenario

[David Lawrence] "I agree with everything you've said about Favorites and persistent in/outs. I think we're really talking about two entirely separate issues. I think we're both right. Functionality vs intentionality."

Personally, I think we could probably all agree that it would be beneficial for FCPX to remember the IN/OUT ranges of each individual clip. There would be no harm to those who are currently not bothered by how they disappear, and yet it would be a tremendous help to those (like myself) who would find a use for it.

I use favorites a lot. They're great. But they're not the reason I have an issue with IN/OUT ranges disappearing. In FCP7, if I've been scrubbing through a clip (particularly if it's a long one) and I find a shot I want, I mark an IN/OUT and edit it into the timeline. Then, let's say, I go to another clip for another shot, and then come back to my first clip. I can hit play and the clip's playhead picks up where it left off (at the OUT point).

If I attempt the same move in X, the playhead defaults to the beginning of the clip every time. There isn't even an easy way to activate the range for a favorite so I can use the SHIFT+O to jump to the end of the favorite.

It would be real nice if there wasn't just a "reset to start" for every activated clip.
