Canon 5d Mark III clips wont play in multiclip
-
I will check tomorrow.
Out of curiosity, are you able to get your 1hr 49min multiclips to play on the event side?

Out of interest why not synch within FCPX. I have found it to be simpler and less hassle than the old Pluralise workflow days with 7.

Ahhh answers my question I did not know this.
Which means for Live Events/concerts/conferences/theatre are you telling me FCPX just doesn’t not have the nuts to handle these long takes?
If so I am glad I found out now rather than the week after next because I was rather banking on it.

It absolutely does NOT have the nuts to handle it. Not even close. It will process for about a half hour and then give you an “inadequate audio”. PE1 and 2 were hassles. PE3 is a dream. It will literally sync up a whole night in under 20 seconds. You just have to go in and rename your angles in the angle editor, because that info doesn’t carry over. Takes 2 minutes tops.
X’s syncing capabilites are good for a music video or perhaps a concert if you split up the songs (read a whole lot more organizational work). PE3 will pay for itself in time lost trying to sync in final cut the first day. And will pay for the hairloss that you can’t get back in an hour.
Even though PE will give you a nice long clean multi clip, don’t think you can make selects from event browser like you would with every other NLE. X doesn’t currently have the balls for this either. Even if you sub clip it into a shorter keyword, no dice. Youll have to lay the whole thing out on a storyline and cut it down. This becomes somewhat of a hassle because you’re used to matchframing and using cutaways from earlier in the clip. Not gonna happen. Having to make so many selects from the timeline starts making you really wish at this point that there were colored and spanned markers. Ok I’ll stop there. Lets hope tomorrow brings bigger nuts and old features back.

Well that really is an eye opener to me I must say.
I have not used multi cam much and certainly not road tested it in bad weather but that’s sounds an absolute nightmare.
I can see it’s much easier to break things down song by song once it’s all synched rather than after.
For my purposes with Theatre work it’s out of the question because each act is at least 45 minutes.
Tomorrow form 10.1?
Are you sure?

David, you can say it doesn’t work for you but that’s not true for everyone! You are misleading James that Multicam doesn’t work. I have a 1 hour & 49 minute multicam clip that plays in the event browser and in a timeline. I used FCP X to sync the angles.
I have Multicams ranging from 22 minutes to 1 hour & 49 minutes. 5 cameras with lots of stops and starts. Cameras are 7D’s, JVC HD camera, Sony Handycam, mixed frame rates at 29.97 & 23.98 and it plays. No Proxy or transcoded media. I do have the playback quality set to better performance. The only thing I don’t have that you’re talking about is footage from the 5D or other audio sources.

If yours pays back in the event browser, then I’ll take that back. Never has for me, with long clips. I never said multicam didn’t work. I’m using it everyday! FCPX cannot sync as well as plural eyes! That’s a fact jack! But if you don’t have PE, you can make it work. It takes way more time. If you do this type of cut often PE is a no brainer.
I’ll delete my last post though regarding the event level playback. Don’t want to mislead. Maybe my computer isn’t up to the task.

I got the biggest and baddest imac from late 2011 i7 3.4 with a t-bolt RaidI don’t think it’s your computer, I’m cutting on a 2012 Mac 3.2 quad core with 32 gigs of ram and 4 internal drives at raid 0, so your system should be crushing mine.
I know you don’t want to hear this but personally I think it’s plural eyes causing you the problems.Dajen Productions, Santa Barbara, CA

I’m convinced PE is the problem with the original issue. As to the event side playback, I never connected the dots to PE for that one. I wonder if there might be something to that. I’m going to test and see. That would be a most welcome revelation!
