2-cam interview on timeline needs to be clipped up. How?

Newbie to X, used FCP5.2 last.
Can someone give me an analogy about the time line wiout tracks? I am lost trying to understand it. I used to think of the tracks in FCP 5.2 etc as "pasteboard at the bottom and acetates on tracks above it" like Photoshop layers. But this new thing is eluding me. Can some one tell me "think of it as..." ?
Problem:
I did a 2-cam interview with a tripod. I got the 2 long clips synced, but now I need to clip out the mistakes and other unwanted bits.
1. Is there a way to pick and choose from the timeline, grabbing just the clips I want for assembly elsewhere, reordering them?
2. When I put in/out points, they are only on the main clip, not theones above or below it (audio). Is there a keyboard shortcut for "clip everything right here, like a super 'b' keystroke?
3. Older FCP allowed making "Independednt Clips" which uld help. What is the alternative?
Thanks

MacBreak Studio offers a 3-part video tutorial on Multicam Editing here >>click<<
(link opens iTunes)
which helped me the understanding of this marvelous feature.
In your case, you 'combine' both 'tracks'; you switch between both camera angles; finally (it appears in the storyline as a single clip) you 'clean' it of unwanted parts.
Very convenient - IF you get the idea of this tool

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence?

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence? Is there some kind of window I can open where they will show up? I am scrubbing a timeline and I would like to see all the cameras at once.

The multicam monitor only shows multiple clips at once when they are part of a mutlicam sequence. is there some reason you don't want to use them inside a multicam sequence for previewing?
Here is a possible workaround, if your workflow circumstances will permit it:
Apply a pip preset effect to each clip in the timeline. Use UL, UR, LL, LR presets and up to four video tracks will display at once. If you need to see more than that, you'll need to tweak their position parameters by hand. When you're done previewing them all at once you just need to delete their effects from the Effects Controls panel.
I know it's not that neat or quick, but it will let you see everything at once in the program monitor.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,
I have my disks that came with my laptop I have went into disk utility to repair disk and I still seem to have the same problem .. No icons or apps or anything lol just the cursor I can only shut down the laptop via power but and the press shut down.
Please help I am going out my mind with this thing :(

This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down

I think you'll find that iPhoto will recognize your Rebel and load it's pictures (does for my RebelXT). If you don't want to use iPhoto, then yes, you'll need to download the software that came on a disk with the camera, and possibly update it (from the Canon site) based on the operating system you're running.

While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips?

While trimming a clip in my timeline, the entire timeline moves with my trim. How can I stop that and leave a gap in-between clips? Also when I use my blade it only leaves a dotted line in the clip. How can I make that a solid line? I do a lot of flickering in my videos and don't need that some what of a snapping effect while I edit. Please help me someone. I believe i upgraded from FCP 10.0.1 to 10.0.3 and before it never did this.

Mark an In point and an Out point (which creates a Range) and hit the forward delete key (Replace with Gap.) On a MacBook, you'll probably need to hold down the Fn key and type the Delete key (or, I think you might be able to use Shift-Delete as the same command). On an iMac/Mac Pro keyboard, it's the key just to the left of 'end' or the next key above the left arrow key.
You can use the Range tool (hold down the R key and click drag over your clip) or the Blade tool to cut at the in and out (then select the cut and replace with gap).
You can also go into Commands > Customize (command-option-K) and assign a different key to Replace with Gap.
If you need to ripple edit the ends (cut), create a small section that is Gap, and hold down the T key while you use the mouse to click drag both ends (double sided trim cursor) of the cut.
Don't worry about the dotted line blade... That just lets you know that the frames on either side of the cut are continuous, or sequential — nothing has been moved yet. Once frames from either side of the mark have been cut, it becomes a full fledged cut resembling a separate clip.

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Timeline and Project Bin Clip Names Not Linked

I realize I could get booed out of the room for mentioning FCP7, but one painful issue I'm encountering with an imported project from Final Cut is that once a clip is put into a timeline, its name is not updated inthe timeline when the project clip name is updated.
I took over a project that has numerous subclips with long, long names. The prior editor did not use any metadata fields except for subclip names, so the names read like short stories. These long names create a lot of visual distraction in the interface and result in interface tabs that are so long they hide the remaining tabs in the source window.
In FCP 7 I would simply rename a clip and each incidence of that clip/subclip in the timeline would update at the same time. It was beautiful and elegant.
I'd love to hear the logic as to why PP doesn't operate this way. In our imperfect world it's not possible to control what previous editors have done before a handoff, epecially now with lots of legacy XML coming into PP and AVID from old Final Cut Projects.
I can think of a number of other scenarios for which linking the names timeline and project clips would be a huge help (changes to a project scope, user error, etc).
I should ask: am I overlooking a setting in the preferences or something? Anyone else run into this issue?

I really preferred how FCP7 works. I think Premiere Pro would benefit from this change too. If you don't want clips in the TL to updated with clips in the bin (maybe I'm missing something, but I can't imagine in everyday use where you might want to do this), an independent clip could be created that then breaks that relationship.
I think consistency is important and its very difficult to keep a consistent universe of clips when a change in clip name is needed. I have to respectfully disagree with Jim on this. I know how I like to work. Everyone has their own ways, and their is no one right or wrong way, but I see this "feature" as a particular deficit of functionality in PP that will be addressed soon.

I am running out of memory on my hard drive and need to delete files. How can I see all the files/applications on my hard drive so I can see what is taking up a lot of room?

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.
