compound clips causing spinning beach ball
Hi. I am working on a project with a bunch of interviews that are compound clips created by Synchronizing clips within Final Cut Pro. I’m finding now that some of these clips are causing extreme system problems (spinning beach balls). It seemed to happen right after I put one of these clips into the project sequence.
I have read a lot of others are having problems with compound clips in FCPX and wondering if any advice out there? I’m working on IMac with 16 GB Memory; 2.93 i7 Processor; version 10.8.2 -

Do you mean you synchronized them in the event library, then dragged them to the timeline? I always “Break Apart Clip Items” whenever I have synced clips. Yeah, it’s less organized, but it keeps FCP from getting bogged down. Until Apple fixes this, I’ll keep applying the workaround.

David had a similar problem recently & was advised to use multicam clips instead. So basically instead of selecting the audio/video clips & choosing synchronize clips, select the audio clip, make a multicam, then add a angle and synch the video.
Biggest problem is that compounds clips still remain to bloat your project as where multicam don’t.

Tony,
Not sure what you mean when you say add a angle and synch the video…. I select multi cam…which automatically will synchronize to my audio (in 10.0.5), actually, better then Synch does. then I need to create a project, drag down the multiclips, make the good audio track active, and then blade on each video clip in angle viewer when that audio comes on…??

David, what your doing is perfectly fine.
Personally I just like to first create a multicam clip from my audio, then add the video one by one. Sounds crazy I know, but love doing it this way.
