"Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips" doesn't work here

Move, trim, or delete clips in the primary storyline without affecting connected clips
That’s just what I was waiting for!
But it's very difficult for me to use this option
First af all the choice of the "Grave accent", which isn't present itself on the Mac keyboard, is somewhat strange in my opinion.
So, according to my keyboard viewer, to get grave accent I have to use alt-\ or alt-9, which is itslef too complicated.... Couldn't they program a simple modifier key (alt, or command, or ctrl...)?
Anyway, in both cases I get strange behaviours.
Infact I get alert sound, which meanes something strange is happening, and the behaviours are not what I want...
Any help?
Thanks

You can set that key to something else that suits you better.
(just as you can customize keyboard shortcuts all over the application, changing and adding shortcuts as you wish).
The name for this command is "Override connections".
Go to Final Cut Pro->Commands. This will open the "Command Editor".
In order to not mess with the default set of commands, first make a copy by selecting "Duplicate..." in the popup menu at the top left of Command Editor. Call this something meaningful (or leave it as "Copy of default").
Enter "Override connections" (without the quotes) into the search box at the top right. Now you can enter an appropriate keyboard shortcut for it.
(Note: if you choose something that is already assigned to a different function, you'll get a warning dialog box)

How do I move a clip with transitions attached on the primary storyline?

One more frustrating problem with the mysterious magnetic timeline: on the priumary storyline I created a text clip with a gap clip on each side, then added cross dissolve at the beginning and end of the clip so that it fades in and out to black:
Now I want to reposition this text in the timeline, mantaining the fade in/out at the head and tails. In FCP7 this was simple as a gap in the timeline simply showed black and the clip could be moved as one piece. In FCPX when I try to move the text clip with the P position tool, the transitions disappear after repositioning. Extremely frustrating:
If I select the clip and the fades together, plus the gap clip at the end, and move them together with the Position tool then the fade out is retained, but the fade in still disappears. I've also tried rolling from the fade in from the gap clip before it, but instead of rolling the clip ahead this shortens the fade (I think the behavior of trimming and rolling transitions is totally wacky). The trim tool is also useless in this situation as you can only select one edit point at a time with it.
The only solution I found is to cut the gap clip before the transition, then move the text clip and transitions with the P tool. This will create two abuting gap clips before the text clip, but allow the transitions to remain intact. Not hard, but annoying to have to do
Often I have to adjust the position of a text clip in the timeline like this after adding the transitions to get the timing right. Is there any way to move the clip while retaining the transitions at the beginning and end? It would be so much easier to be able to roll the edges of the gap clips so that I didn't have to make extra edits and workarounds.
The problem seems to be that the gap clip acts as like a regular black slug video clip in some cases, but not in other case. When you move a clip in the primary storyline a gap clip is automatically created to fill a gap -- okay, fine. But you can roll the edges of a video clip with the P tool, but not a gap clip. ***?
I'm using the latest update, 10.0.8. I will be submitting this to Apple as well....

I am trying to move the text clip forward with the transitions still attached. The difference is that in FCP7 you can leave a gap before a dissolve and it will fade in from black. If you move the text clip, the dissolve moves with it, still attached.
In FCPX however, the gap has to be a gap clip. So the dissolve is attached to both the gap clip and to the text clip. Once you put the dissolve on the edit point, there is no way to move the text clip forward or back on the timeline without deleting the dissolve. Or, if you move the clip forward or back with the Position tool (necessary to create a gap) then the transitions just disappear.
Basically, I am looking to roll the transition with the clip.
I could use the opacity handle on the text clip (using "show video animation") in stead of a dissolve, but then I have no control over the shape of the dissolve curve and I'd have to add extra handles to the text clip to center the dissolve where I want it.
Regarding "I very seldom use the position tool. Rolling the gap clips can be done with the regular arrow tool - *that* is one example of the magnetic timeline working for you."
This is true, but clips behave differently when you you roll with the P tool vs the A tool. With the A tool, other clips are magnetically rippled forward or back on the timeline to maintain their relative relationship and avoid all gaps. With the P tool, video clips maintain their position on the timeline, creating or trimming gap clips when a gap is created or filled. The problem arises when a transition is attached to the clip you are moving or trimming.
I understand in priniciple why it behaves the way it does, but it's inconvenient in this case, and inconsistent with the normal behavior of gap clips when a transition isn't involved.
In my mind the transition should be anchored to the video clip, not to both the video and gap clip when there is a transition between the two.

Need to move audio clip to primary storyline without disturbing sync

I had a video clip in the primary storyline from which I detached the audio. I then lifted the clip by selecting it and clicking option-cmd-up arrow. What is the simplest way, preferably with keyboard shortcuts rather than dragging, of putting the audio clip in the primary storyline in sync with the video?
Here's a screen shot of my timeline after detaching the audio and lifting the video:

AFAICT you need to have some video clip to make that work. The following workaround is a bit messy, but can do the trick.
1) Add some short video clip connected below the audio (it can be a placeholder or a gap, or something else)
2) Select the audio and the dummy video and make that a compound clip (option-G)
3) Select the compound and command-option-downArrow to overwrite to the primary.
3) break apart the compound clip (select it and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items, or Cmd-Shift-G)
4) delete the dummy video

My final cut keeps attaching video i've put underneath the storyline to the primary storyline - why?

Final Cut Pro X keeps moving video that I've purposely put UNDER the primary storyline up, so that it's now in the primary storyline and on top of other video. Anyone have any clue why this could be?

One reason this can happen is if you are trying to manually place a clip below the timeline past the last clip in the edit, so if you do not have a clip or a slug in the PS then it must go to the PS because there is nothing to "connect" it to. In other words to connect a clip to the PS (above or below) there must be a storyline to connect to. I am not trying to be annoying, and I oppologies if this is elementary to you - but just making sure it isn't something simple - process of elimination...

When i open iTunes U it comes up with just the brown bookshelf but no icons to click on and then it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work.

On the bookshelf there's no icons to click on and after a mintue it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work. Im using a ipod touch 4 and im on 5.1.

I, too, am having this problem and it's annoying. The app just shuts down every time I use it. Too bad cuz it looks lie there are so many wonderful courses in the catalog.
Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Try ReSynching to iTunes. If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC. That should bring them back. You can then turn on sync to cloud again.
You may, however, want to re-think that. There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues. Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
Good Luck.

Hey Guys. I have a 1st gen dual 2.3 powerPC G5. I just recently upgraded my OS to Leopard 10.5. I cannot for the life of me, get FlashPlayer to work. I Downloaded and installed the archived 10_1r102_64 version, but it still doesn't work. Help?

Everytime I click on a video it says I need to update to the newest version of flash, but my computer doesn't support the updated version. So I feel like I'm in a Catch-22.
Any suggestions?

Jay, you may very well be up a creek without a paddle.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

If it in fact says you do have 10.1.102.64, & some sites say you need higher, it is a catch 22.

Hi kemtnilion,
What did you get a trial of? Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services; did you get a free trial of Acrobat, perhaps? If so, you can save a PDF directly to Word from Acrobat, by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
