Q: Saving composited clip - How?!
Just getting started with FCP-X and have run into a problem trying to simply save an effect I created (composite?) that uses several masks to eliminate text.
OK, so I need to save this in order to duplicate it and have it repeat and maybe use elsewhere. How to save it? I tried Control/R but am unable to duplicate that short clip. It's a windmill, and I want to have it turning for awhile, so I need to have several clips with the mask, and I also want to use it later on as that clip. I can't get it. Darn!! (and help!!)
I could do this easily with former NLE - just clicked render and the file was there.

select everything and make it a compound (opt-G)
It's then listed as a new clip in your Event under the name you gave it.
You can use that compound-clip as any other clip...
