ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH this “feature” of FCP is driving me frick’n nuts. How the hell anyone could rely on this program professionally is beyond me.

You FCP people won’t like this! Having started with Med 100 fifteen years ago I have kept with the Program. My last Med 100 update meant Mac G5 Intel, and, lo and behold, I had to buy whole FCP 6 just to get DVD Studio Pro. So, having some professional friends who have produced wonderful programs with FCP I was excited to see all the things in it. I tried to use it but perhaps I’m not the smartest kid on the block . Horrible! SO complicated, NOT intuitive and whatever happens to the clips that become ‘Unrendered’ as soon as you touch them? I know Med 100 costs more money so I accept that some have to use FCP, BUT, you have my admiration. I won’t trouble to open it anymore, life is too short to learn a flawed system. If you win a small lottery and want to give yourself a treat get Med 100 and let your creativity reign unhindered. (I am just a ordinary Med 100 Customer, no links)

Agreed. This is a version 1.0 issue. Its about time Apple started running public beta’s for their Pro Apps. No one gives a toss about all the secrecy and it serves no one, otherwise all we will see is another release all packaged up with the same issues as before.

I see this happen all the time. Seems to happen more often when I have title cards in the timeline generated from FCP. But as you say, there is no excuse for this is version 6 of a product. It also has a tough time rendering XDCam timelines, as I get the disappearing act much too often now. Heres to holding out hope for version 7.
