Here is an update on my mischievous Scrolling Timeline. I used FCPX and CommandPost for several hours, just editing, over the past two days. My last report to you was that the Enabled/Disabled state of the Scrolling Timeline when FCPX was launched seemed to determine if it worked. However, after using it during these editing sessions, I’m sorry to report that it’s not as simple as that. Here is what I experienced. Yesterday, the Scrolling Timeline was initially working. However after using it perhaps 50 times (rough guess), problems stated. The first mode of failure was that after interacting with other parts of FCPX (for example, making an adjustment to an item in the inspector, or skimming clips in the browser), the Scrolling Timeline would not function; toggling it on and off brought it back until I again interacted with different parts of FCPX. But then, after functioning like that for a while, it finally stopped working altogether. I Trashed the Preferences of CommandPost, to no avail.
What was more surprising is that, today, after shutting down the computer yesterday, the Scrolling Timeline has not once worked.
I realize how difficult it is to track this down when you are not seeing it on your computers. However, if there is any other information or tests I can supply, please let me know.
Regards,
David
I'm also seeing some scrolling timeline funkiness on latest develop
code.
It seems like something went funky around this commit:
I've tried to fault-find, but I'm not having much luck.
Either way, the scrolling timeline seems very unreliable on both my MacBook Pro & our iMac's - whereas previously it worked fine, so something has gone funky at some point.
Will have to leave this to @randomeizer to solve.
@randomeizer - The Scrolling Timeline is broken in latest Beta 30 code on our office iMac's as well.
