I agree. It was about as obscure as loading an image into Pan&Zoom still is
right now.
No new user will ever be able to do this without consulting the help file.
Unless he's a three-year-old who clicks all buttons.
Then again, that demographic is probably lost to FCPX.

someone new to Avid, it's much easier to see a button labeled "edit title"

for the big future release: please don't pull too many of those rabbits out

the way they are. This is an example of one of those changes that frustrate
