How do I continue editing
Hello FCP community. My name is Daniel. Way back three months ago, I purchased the Final Cut Pro software to edit professionally. I thought it was going to be like the version I used back in 2010ish. What a change in this 2022 version!
Here is my problem. The ancient version I was used to use made it easy to retreive part of a take that I would have cut by draging the said cut version toward the external left or right and magically, I would see the hidden part reapear. This 2022 version doesn't do that. Not only I can't retreive a portion of a take with this drag technique but I also notice that we when I shorten the beginning of my clip in my timeline, it leaves a blank space and I can't cut the said space. In short I end up with a blank spaces space the beginning :-(
In addition to these problems, I want to rename my project and I can't. See my screen capture.
In regards to this above problem (i.e. screen capture showing that my untitled project is unsavable) I found a youtube that explains I can't. The youtube can be found here so you can see what I watched.
Do you have any suggestions please. I feel overwhelmed, time is of essence and it is taking me so_long to get basic editing done :-(
Tks.
Daniel.
