Difficulties faced with new Final Cut Pro 10

1. When clips are moved since its a magnetic timeline other clips takes its place unless you use the position tool. It creates audio sync issues.
Solution - "tilde" key (~)

2. It takes more time to shift clips if you are on a project where you have to trim the timeline. Lets say the total timeline duration is ten minutes where the client needs it to be three minutes now. If you have a transition. It does not allow you to move swiftly. Worst it does not have a lock feature. I don't know why apple does not want to add a feature called 'magnetic timeline lock'.

3. The AV out feature does not work. In my case with my Sony TV. I tried playing with the mirroring settings but unlike FCP 7. Since it's one window moving. It's does not help if you move the app to secondary window. It also creates problem doing the color grading process if you have a small screen.

4. There is no drag drop feature instead we have to copy attributes or press shift + cmd + v.

5.No OMF output. If want to sell professional editing software better provide industry standard tools and solutions.The solution is to use 'FCPXML TO AAF' http://www.x2pro.net/ 


6.Most of the fcpxml files don't match up in DI software's or fcpxml is still not supported.

7. There needs to be easy Dolby/DTS settings for theatrical release.

8. Final cut pro 10 does not have a DCP out or advanced DVD burning settings.
