Another Multi-clip snafu
Hello all,
Trying to multi-clip two camera angles from two different cameras: HMC-150 and a Canon (forget model number). I ran camera one, the Panny 150, and the photographer ran the DSLR. We both set to 1080/30p. I set the timecode to 0 at the slate/clapper for both, but when I tried to set as mult-clip, FCP said they were different frame rates.
I checked, and sure enough, the Canon was 30fps and my panny was 29.97. So I put the Canon through cine tools and converted it to 29.97. Tried again, this time the error message is “different codecs.” The Panny codec is Pro-res, so I tried exporting the Canon clip from the timeline at what I thought was the same codec–1080 pro-res, then reimporting that.
Same error message–different codecs, would not multi-clip.
Anyone have any tips on getting these two to match up for a multi-clip?
Thanks in advance.

BTW, I”m running FCP 6.0.6 on a new MacBook Pro 17″, 8gb memory.

[Daniel Schultz] “Same error message–different codecs, would not multi-clip.”
That’s your answer. You need to conform both clips to the same codec and frame rate. BTW, this is in your FCP manual.

Do I do that in FCP or Cine Tools? (and I will check the manual)

you convert codecs in Compressor.

Okay, I thought I did everything right.
I changed the codec to pro res progressive HQ in compressor.
Then I changed the frame rate from 30fps to 29.97fps, to match the clip from camera 1.Still get the same message: “Can’t make multi-clip because they’re different codecs.”
Thoughts anyone?

I had this same problem 6-months ago. FCP does not support the multi-cam feature with the Pro-Res timeline.
