FCP X and Pluraleyes 3 Complete Failure to Sync

[Jeremy Garchow]

I was only suggesting to see if FCPX could do it as it might point to bigger problems if it can’t.

There are times when Plural Eyes is needed.

Joe may or may not need it, but he is obviously having problems.

Can’t we help him try and solve this?

Precisely, which is what my post did suggesting a workflow for him instead of whining any time I think my small shred of expertise in this world is called into question by someone who might have a different or even better perspective.

But hey, it wouldn’t be much of a creative cow forum without em’! There’d literally be 1/10th the posts…

Look, nobody is calling into question your expertise.

The facts are that the OP owns both Plural Eyes AND FCP-X.

It appeared to me that he felt that since he had a dedicated sync program – he ought to use it to solve his problem.

BUT – he got into problems and wasn’t having success. That might be because of a foundatonal problem, or it might be that the tool is overly complex for the problem that he needs solving.

I think the OP was talking about 3 cameras on some type of live performance. That’s not rocket science. X (and Plural Eyes) does this kind of thing every day.

Unless there’s something the OP is not revealing, this is a pretty easy sync job. So there’s no functional reason I can imagine where there’s need to launch the dedicated program just to do something that’s built right into the software he’s already editing within.

Occams Razor is a useful concept.

Simple as that.
