Any tricks to reconnect relocated reference movies? – PLEASE HELP!

[Nick Meyers]

“I’m wondering though…. we are capturing media using capture now, and then we are creating multiclip sequences, but the synch seems unreliable. Do you know why that is?”

i haven’t worked with multiclip sequences,
BUT i have had a little bit of contact with Multiclips, (creating and working with hundreds each day for 4 months on a feature film) and i can tell you they are just plain buggy.
keep them very simple and they work
otherwise…

how do you sync for a multiclip seq?
via TC or Aux TC?
i found that the multis i made with Aux TC didn’t behave very well, and would have sync issues.
Multis made via in point worked best.

i have no idea why a simple export is throwing your sync out either.
that’s really weird,
but how about this:
export as a ref movie,
bring that back into FCP, and export again as self contained.
or
Export as ref move,
open in QT or Compressor and export as whatever codec you need.

that could lock it in.
