Issues Copying sequences between Systems
Hey, my first post here, so bear with me, please.
I am the Assistant Editor on a feature film, and we are cutting on Final Cut Pro 6.
I am on an Intel 2x Dual-Core Mac, and the Editor is on a G5 Mac.
One of the problems we have been having happens when I copy one of the editor’s sequences from his computer to mine.I reconnect all of the media to my machine, and usually the sequences work perfectly. On a few of them, however, the audio tracks are all over the place. The most common issue is that the over half of the tracks seem to have disappeared from the timeline, or the audio clips have shrunk down to only a frame or two in length.
The video tracks appear to be working properly, so the audio appears to be where the problem is. So, if anybody knows anything about this issue, please let me know.
If I need to clarify anything, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Jake -

Are you working with double system audio? Merged clips? How is the material being copied from one system to another?
All the best,

About half of the footage is Merged Clips, and the other half is not.
Sound is usually to the B Camera, and not to the A Camera.
So I had to merge the audio from the sound guys to the A Camera Footage.The only thing I could think of was if the editor renamed some of the files (he is used to Avid). I checked this about a week ago, and he had. I fixed the problem, and now I have everything that he has on my drives.

Could this be an issue with one machine being a G5 and the other an Intel?
I can’t see why it would, but I have run out of ideas.-Jake

I have it narrowed down now.
The problem is with subclips only.
I am fairly new to this, and got in with some good people who were willing to give me a chance being an assistant editor on a few films. The reason I say this is because this seems to me to be an amateur mistake.
I started out this project syncing the sound on the timeline and dumping it back into the browser as a subclip.
I alter found out about the “merge clips” feature and have used that since.So I guess what I need to do is re-sync all of the master clips using the merge clips feature, and then put them back into the editor’s project.
That brings me to a NEW QUESTION: How do I bring the new clips into his project and make his sequences read the media from the re-sunc master clips?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.-Jake
