Some feedback for Apple in regards to FCPX
Posted this just now via Apple's Final Cut Pro X Feedback page, anybody who would like to support or add, please follow this link.
A list of annoying bugs and missing feature (some of them were posted here by me a year ago):
BUG #1: go to the event browser -> select a clip and specify an in / out range -> switch to the timeline (Cmd + 2) -> switch back to the event browser = no longer possible to go beyond the in / out point
bug #1.1: shuttling beyond the out-point will not work; workaround = jumping to the out-point (Shift + O) enables the "browser system" to go beyond the out-point again
bug #1.2: punching in a timecode position (Ctrl + P) = the playhead does NOT move to the specified TC position but moves one frame after the out point and not ANY further, again, jumping to the out-point via Shift + O is the (terrible) workaround
bug #1.3: deselecting the previously selected in / out area (Cmd + Shift + A) does not solve the problem mentioned above, even though no selection is visible in the event browser, the in / out points are still "remembered" by the system (selectable via Shift + I / Shift + O, also works as workaround).
BUG #2: Switching between event browser and timeline (Cmd + 1 / Cmd + 2) does NOT work occasionally, resulting in the image not changing in the viewer; this feature is sometimes required to actually compare the playhead positions between the event browser and the timeline.
BUG #3: Creating Favorites (F) with overlapping timecode areas in the event browser does not work; example: mark area in the event browser, press (F) to add a favorite from 01:20:00 to 01:30:00, now it won't be possible to add another favorite going from 01:25:00 to 01:28:00.
BUG #4: unsure whether this is a bug or a missing feature: after adding a favorite (F) in the event browser, it is not possible to immediately rename it with a keystroke. I have to click / mark it with a left-click first and then rename it (by pressing Enter, for example). Arrow keys to select it also do not without a click into Favorites first. Quite a speed-stopper.
MISSING FEATURE #1: A possibility to read and display the SOURCE timecode (meaning the original timecode from the clip) in the timecode generator plug-in is a MUST for my collaboration with certain clients, at the moment, I am using EDL-X .txt exports as source / destination reference for my clients, a clumsy workaround if it would be possible to integrate source TC via timecode gen plug-in!
MISSING FEATURE #2: Switch or at least tab between the Information tabs (Video / Audio / Info) via keyboard
MISSING FEATURE #3: When importing Canon MXF clips (from xf305 cam, thanks to the Canon importer plug-in released this year) directly into FCPX, it is not possible to see any source timecode. This is sometimes required.
Bugfixes would be heartily appreciated,
best regards,
Martin
