Hi,
1. When playing my clips in the timeline, the timeline is not jumping automatically to the next window, i always have to move with my mouse, is there option or setting for it?
2. When i use "Open in timeline" option, how i can to close the opened timeline after that?
Thanks all.
To your second question, click the left-facing arrow in the toolbar below.
I'm not sure what you're describing in your first question. Are you talking about a clip timeline or project timeline? Can you provide more details or use different words? Thanks.

Do you mean you expect the timeline window to scroll as the playhead leaves the right edge of the screen?
Yeah, no, FCPX doesn't do that. iMovie does that elegantly. We've been asking for that feature for about ten years.
Exactly. thank you.
And Russ about my second question, i know how to switch between the timelines but i mean how can i close my opened timeline?
Thanks.

…
in case you mean 'next clip in the Event browser':
cursor-right
(cursor left for the previousclip)
2nd Q: there's always just one timeline 'open'; the arrows, Russ pointed you to, are more a sort-of 'history' ....
don't get me wrong, but it is essential to teach yourself the nomenclatura of such an app .... eg, FCPX has no 'windows' ...

Either click the back button at the top left of the timeline, or just double-click another project to open it instead.
Thanks all anyway.
I'm afraid that we're all doing a lot of guesswork, trying to help you.

Its ok 😉
About the first question, David Bogie understood my question and helped me.
About the second question, i need to quit my FCP and then i see only one timeline.
Thank you for trying to help me.

There are no other "open" timelines, only one at a time, and there is no need to "close" them.
What you see is rather a "history" of the timelines you have opened in the current session. That is why when you quit and restart FCP X they are not there.
Hitting the back button closes the open timeline and opens the last one you were working on. This confused me for months because I thought I was stepping through open timelines. Not so. FCPX can only open one at a time.
Two questions
