Thanks for this post. Now I’ll ask a question I haven’t found an answer to yet.
Before the update I was able to select a clip in the timeline and the playhead would move to that location. Useful if I wanted to move the mouse away from the clip (to look through effects, etc.) but now selecting a clip and placing the playhead are two separate actions. Initially it’s super annoying. Have you noticed that/ found a fix for it?
In previous versions of FCP, holding down the option key when clicking a clip in the timeline didn’t move the the playhead to where you clicked. In 10.0.6, the default action is inverted. To move the playhead to the selected clip, hold down the option key. The advantage of not moving the playhead is that when no clip is selected, the inspector shows information about the clip at the playhead – in the same way the ‘Open’ clip gang mode worked in Final Cut Pro Classic.
Awesome. Thanks for that insight. Do you know if there is a way to toggle between having to hold Option or not- I.e. old vs. new default way of doing it?
Kyle, there’s no way of going back to the previous way. Apple are unlikely to provide that sort of preference setting in future (that’s more Avid’s style). Their philosophy seems to be that you’ll hate the new default for a few weeks or months, but one day you’ll get used to it.
The new default goes some way towards adding more keyboard shortcuts for navigating the interface (as you don’t have to click clips to see inspector settings any more).
First I want to Thank you for your great blog
I work on the french version of FCPX but I also try the “english” one.
and I don’t get what you describe :
Delete clip leaving attached clips to newly created gap clip – Option-Command-Delete
For me this command delete clip leaving attached clip in position but the main storyline is shorten (sorry for my english)
AND
Option-Command-Delete is just the same as Shift-Delete.
Can you confirm ?
Thanks in advance
Olivier
Option-Command-Delete for me replaces the clip with a gap, but leaves any connected clips connected the a gap clip.
If you using a modified command set – your own keyboard shortcuts, this new shortcut may not work for you. Try changing the Command set to the Default set and try again.
As well as using Command-Option-Delete, `-delete (grave-delete) should also work.
I used the default keyboard … big mystery 🙂
The french version get also trouble with “overwrite connection” witch is kind of locked for ever!!
there is a workaround …
thank for your reply anyway
keep posting.
I thought I had left this post, but it’s not showing up. Where can I find a PDF file listing all of the 488 commands (with or without keyboard shortcuts)?
