Indeed, I understand FCP X is a big interface departure from previous versions of FCP. I was simply referring to a design culture that neglects the basics of editing functionality, which I feel Apple has always done, with rotten trim tools, bad media management (including corrupt clip/media file linking), and terrible problems with TC data (in early versions). But not to start an FCP flame rant - it hardly matters now. The real point is that embedded in all the nightmarish instability and obstructionism of early FCP products were some pretty forward thinking features, such as sub-frame audio keyframing, deeper keyboard shortcut mapping, better support for third party graphics, and the like. So this strikes me as typical - multicam functionality more powerful than Avid's, but no way to edit separate tracks!

Not so much that, as an unfortunate by-product of the trackless paradigm. I'm
sure it will be fixed down the road, but IMHO with FCP X, Apple has taken the
concept that audio is the red-headed stepchild to video to a new level.
