Examples of when it’s advantageous to use Synchronized Clips over Multi-Cam?

I don’t know why it doesn’t work sometimes. It simply gets confused and the process doesn’t work like you would expect.”

That doesn’t really sound unreasonable with that many video clips. Back to my original question then, would you use Sync Clips then just for a single video clip with a clean audio track or might you just use Multi-Cam anyway?

Last question, if you were to use one clip with one audio track and Sync them up, is it better to do this in the Event or the Project. Because of the way I screen capture online live video (video is captured off the screen after going out to an online server, but the audio is captured in the room), I continually have to move the audio forward 5 frames or so to sync it with the video, but I always do it in the Event.

Thanks,
Dave

For single clips and single audio, I’d probably use Syncrho’d clip if tc was not important to me.

Somehow, I doubt that. ;-D

I usually sync before I edit, so I do it in the Event.

I like having the master clips all synced in the Event as that way you can use them anywhere, instead of having to constantly bring up the Project that has everything in sync, but maybe that doesn’t fit your needs. There isn’t a right or wrong way, really, just the way that makes sense for your workflows/media.

…Well, for this thread.

You just confirmed what I’ve already been doing. I thought maybe I missing something, but evidently not. In the near future, I’ll start doing more shoots where I use external audio and/or two cameras, so I wanted to make sure I was on track before I started. Oh wait, FCPX has no tracks.

Thanks again,
Dave
