Secondary storyline issue in 10.0.6

Hello.
I am having an issue that I don't remember happening in 10.0.5.
I want to move a clip in the secondary storyline while skimming through it in the process.
Normally this happens at the point where your playhead is.
However, since upgrading to 10.0.6, this has become an exercise in frustration because when I move the
clip, the viewer is showing me the footage that is in the primary storyline at the point where the clip in the secondary
storyline connects with the primary storyline.
Did something change? Is there a setting that I am not seeing?
Thanks.

I understand about the new playhead behavior but I don't think the issue I'm having is directly related to this new behavior. If it is, it doesn't make any sense.
Let me see if I can explain better. (I've attached three images to illustrate.)
Let's say you have a gap followed by a video clip on the primary. Then you add a video clip to the secondary right at the head of the video clip on the primary. Once this is done, a connection point should have been made between the two clips (image 1 with connection point circled in red).
Ok, now, put the playhead over the gap so that you don't see anything on the viewer. Now grab the video clip on the secondary and move it left. Even though the playhead is on the gap and doesn't move, the second you start moving the clip the connection point starts acting like the playhead and in the viewer you will see whatever the connection point is moving over on the primary storyline. If the connection point is over the gap, the view will be black (image 2).
If you move the secondary clip to the right until the connection point is over the video clip on the primary, you will start skimming that clip (image 3).
I don't remember this being the case before. If I'm not mistaken, if the playhead was over a clip on the secondary and you moved the clip, the viewer would show you skimming through that clip at the point where the playhead was.
I hope this makes sense.

Can't make a secondary storyline

I have a couple of clips and a secondary storyline
when I select all the clips along with that secondary storyline I don't get an option 'create secondary storyline' in right click
sometimes I do,I couldn't figure out when.
Also is there a way to break apart a compound clip without loosing transitions.... ??

I would say compound clips do lose transitions -> if you have a secondary storyline in there.
I had this the other day, very frustrating, and no way out of it, I could see.
If a compound clip could break apart and create a secondary storyline on the outside (from the secondary storylie inside it) it would work. But it can't do that. So the transitions in your secondary storyline (in the compound clip) are toast if you want to break it apart.
I spent a good deal of time on the timing and type of transitions in my secondary storyline. But I had no choice to break the compound clip apart -> therefore no choice but to break apart the secondary storyline inside it -> which gave me no choice but to lose all the transitions.
Not enough choices in there.

Retiming in secondary storyline......

When I try to retime in secondary storyline.....all the clips move forward with position as well as select tool......can I replace things when I drag a clip forward to retime....such that the position and length of the secondary storyline doesn't change....?

No. Retiming is going to change clip duration. You have decide how you want to retime and change content to maintain the same length. If you're working with music you can use beat times are add markers to reposition when you retime.

Secondary storyline weirdness

After converting a few video and stills to a secondary storyline and opening one of the still up in Photoshop, I cannot no longer scale or color correct any of the clips in the secondary storyline. They all scale up.
1. All the images and video in the secondary scale up to some unknown scale. Looking at these clips and stills in the inspector shows normal parameters (100%) with no crop or distort.
2. After the above, the clips are no longer able to take a color correction.
3. Not all edits in the secondary storyline have transitionsm but some do. And sometimes after by removing one of the transitions the clips that were under the transition will let me scale and color correct.
I'm telling you this is really weird.

Here are before and after PS screenshots. All you can really see is scalling and cropping set to default. This secondary storyline has 3k still images. After opening this photo up in PS and saving, all the images in the storyline are zoomed in like this one. Definately a bug! Removing the transitions allows me to rescale manually, but with transitions no scaling or color correction is applied when changing paramerters.

Adding a Secondary Storyline

I am trying to sync 2 cameras using PluralEyes. I have an A roll which is a few clips totaling about 50mins on the primary storyline. I have the b camera clips spread out above the primary storyline. They are conected and pretty close to being synsced. PluralEyes didn't do to well on the first couple of attempts. The A roll was split apart. The instructions for PluralEyes recomends....If one device has several clips, select them in the Timeline and group them as a secondary storyline.
When I select all of the b roll clips I am not able to use create storyline under clips. It's grayed out. If I select just one clip ( the first one ) I can create a storyine and the first clip has sort of a gray bubble above it. If the first clip on that line is a stroryline are all of the following clips part of the new storyline?
Any insight would be much appreciated.

In the way of an update, I tried making the A roll a compund clip, in an effort to keep PluralEyes from putting a gap in it. This resulted in an error when it exported from PluralEyes.
I guess I just need to figure put how to get the B roll clips into a secondary storyline. Any Idea why I cna't sleect all of the B roll clips and make them a secondary storyline?
Unless there were software udates in the last week I have the latest versions of FCPX and Snow.

Transition in secondary storyline affects the entire screen

Hi Everyone,
I don't know if this is a bug but it certainly troubles me a bit.
I found that if I have secondary story line which its size is reduced (like a picture in picture effect), the transition in the secondary storyline will affect the entire screen. For example, if there is a fade to black effect in the secondary storyline, I would like the fade to black to be only effective on the reduced picture in picture area. But now, the primary storyline footage (entire screen) will be affected.
Any solution for this?
Thanks.

pls post a screenshot of your timeline....
And.... Whenever you can, AVOID secondary story lines.... Avoiding those are equal to avoiding a grand case of bad mood ;-)

MacBook (2006) HDTV Secondary Display Issue (no streaming video)

I've searched the discussions as thoroughly as I could before posting. I do not have the same issues as many others connecting their Macs to HDTVs for primary or secondary display.
I recently bought a Sony Bravia (KDL-32EX710) and displays the desktop beautifully at 1080p with just the Mini-DVI to VGA cable. However, the only thing it does not display, without a workaround, is streaming video from websites like YouTube, various Gawker media sites and similar sites. For example, going to YouTube loads the entire page with playlists, comments and the audio comes through but nothing but a black box where the video should be (controls are also hidden).
To view videos, I have to drag the Safari window to the MacBook's display to start the video then move it back over to the secondary display to view it. Or, I have to enable the video to be viewed in fullscreen (usually by chance) to be able to see the video.
Watching videos from the local/network drives are fine. Watching streaming videos from Netflix are fine (via Safari). Does this seem like a Flash issue as the problem videos seem to depend on Flash?

It seems updating Flash (for Safari, Firefox and Chrome) did the trick.

ThinkPad W530 Secondary Battery Issue

I bought my W530 in few months ago. I got my secondary battery(28++) dead about 2 months after the purchase. (An error popped up.) I called Lenovo and get it replaced.
Few weeks a go, I received the replacement and plugged it in. It worked well until now. Red circle appears and show the status is Poor. I also got error on the secondary battery. the error goes away itself somehow. Now the battery can be charged very quickly (20 minutes) and exhausted very quickly (10~20) as well.
There must be something wrong. I have never seen any batter life cycle is as short as this one. I have called Lenovo support and provided prove of purchase, I believe they will replace it again. But this is not the way to resolve issues. Eventually my warranty period will go away. I can't keep calling them asking for new batteries in the warranty period as well.
Appreciate it if you know how to resolve this issue.

Its probably not related, but both of my batteries drain quickly when the computer is completely shut down and switched off. I have to take the batteries out of the W520 every time I shut it down. Your problem sounds like a problem with the W530 itself though. If it eats one more battery, send it back and don't take no for an answer.

Connecting a title to the secondary storyline

I have the title connected to the primary storyline (at the end of it), but I want to connect it to the secondary one, because I want to end the primary before than the secondary, leaving untouched the title...
How can I do?

Lightroom 4.1 RC2 - Secondary monitor issue

Hi
lightroom 4.1 rc2 seems to have solved the crash issue when using a secondary monitor.
NOW i have another HUGE and HEAVY problem...
The image that appears in the secondary monitor have total different colors than the reality... and when switching the configuration ( so main window go into secondary monitor ) colors are fine ( so this isn't a bad configuration between monitor and lightroom.... ).
Images in secondary monitor appears less contrasted and greenish. And that's a big issue ( cause i use secondary monitor for the correct balancement for printing ).
I repeat that the main window of lightroom shows the image correctly when working with secondary monitor as main...

Known bug.

Secondary index issue

HI Experts
                I am having certain doubts in Secondary index i,e..
          for the table MSEG i created secondary index with LFBNR ,LFBJA, LFPOS fields ,Now in the select query if i used all these three fields in WHER condition then only the fetch will be fast ???
       OR if i use any ONE of these three fields in WHERE condition then the fetch will be normal as non-key field fetch ??
PLease clarify me
Regards,
Lokesh Rangappa

Hi Lokesh,
a secondary index is a fine way to get data faster, if you know the contents of the secondary key fields from the first on.
LFBNR is a very selective secondary key field, so you don't need to know the other secondary key fields and it should work fine.
It's a good idea to have the client field MANDT always as first secondary key field, and you don't need to ask for it in the SELECT query. This will be automatically done.
If you always know the year to access, then your secondary index should look like
MANDT LFBJA LFBNR LFPOS
to access data of the same year easier. If you don't kno the year, but you know the LFBNR, then your secondary index should look like
MANDT LBBNR LFPOS LFBJA
It is importatnt to know the first key fields of a secondary index (without the client, which will bea accessed according to SY-MANDT). And it is also important to know a selective secondary key field.
For example it is no good idea to create a secondary index with only field LFBJA in the first year, where all entries still have the same year.
You have to know the content of the first secondary key field(s), but you don't have to know the content of them all for SELECT queary.

Klaus

Magic mouse secondary click issues

My magic mouse has started registering a secondary click wherever I click on it. It is set up as a right click. Have checked mouse preferences, rebooted, changed mouse battery etc, all to no avail. any thoughts? I'm using Lion but the mouse was perfectly fine for some time after installing it.

Thanks for suggestions but it's like you're talking chinese!
Sorry for the acronyms - I sometimes assume everyone knows what I am talking about!
The preference file is located in macintosh HD>library>preferences. Rarely (but sometimes it happens), preference files become corrupt and then odd things happen. OS X rebuilds preference files as needed after a restart.

Secondary monitor issues with iMac after 10.6.5 upgrade

After the upgrade to 10.6.5 yesterday, my second monitor on my iMac has been turning to snow, and then coming right back to normal about every 10 seconds.
I've tried rebooting with and without the monitor connected, and I'm still getting the same problem.
Anyone one else having this issue?

Tried the Time Machine restore with no luck. The second monitor was still flashing away. Also tried Disk Utility to verify the disk then applied the Combo update. Again no luck.
The only way I was able to fix it was by wiping and reinstalling Snow Leopard from the installation disk. The monitor worked fine until I installed the 10.6.5. update and it went back to the same thing.
I wiped everything again and did the combo update back to 10.6.4. Now everything's working just as it should.
Sounds to me like it's a driver issue... Is there a way to feed back to Apple my model numbers and the problems I'm having? (other than sitting on the phone for hours)

Compound Clip with Effects Storyline Issue

I've made a compound of my edit so I can add a film grain effect across the whole cut. (I find this much easier if need to change rather than on individual clips). But after adding the grain, I'm getting a weird overlay on the transitions from black—see attached image. I swear I've done this before without issue. If I put the effect onto each clip (inside the compound), I don't get the "buzz." It's a little hard to see, but if you look in the blacks, you'll see the grain noise. Any ideas?
Here's the line. Grain is added to the compound clip.

OK - I think I fixed it - I had a title connected to the compound clip that for some reason seemed to interfere, but after taking it away and then back, it's fixed now.
