  • FCP multiclip turns into slug in viewer

    Posted by Ace Elliott on August 4, 2009 at 2:55 am

    I’m cutting in FCP 6.0.6, Apple Pro Res HQ, 1920×1080, 23.98fps

    Mac OSX V10.5.7
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have A and B cam (different lengths) that I need to multiclip with .wav audio (which is also different lengths then the video)

    When I Import all of them into a bin and multiclip by Timecode, why does my sync slip?
    Especially if I multiclip with In-points….Ahhhh! Whats up with that? Does anyone know why FCP does this? Is FCP freaking out that my .wav files are different lengths?

    Also, when I load my multiclip in the viewer (double-click in the bin) ……as soon as i click ANYWHERE…like on cam A or B or even the audio file, it turns into SLUG and my multiclip DISAPPEARS.

    Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this efficiently?

    I read somewhere about MERGE CLIPS (merge Take1A and .wav and then multiclip to Take1B) but I have about 150 scenes for a movie……just curious if there is any other way..

    Thanks
