Re: Survey: How would you want FCP X and FCP 7 compatibility to work?

I don't know. Part of me thinks the reason they're not fixing it is it takes the mystery out of their magnetic timeline. Its still all linear video and audio layers in particular time sequence. I feel like this could be translated with some work. The video is still basically stacked like any other timeline - its just the audio is kind of all over the place. Which makes sense because audio is just there in space - it doesn't matter what layer its on you're just going to hear it.

I would propose making everything in the v1 & a1,2 timeline the main storyline. Then just connecting clips off of that layer. If there's a transition between some top level b-roll, make that into a second storyline but otherwise just make it a connected clip to the main storyline.
