    Hey Guys
    Anyone ever had this problem?

    This is the second feature now ive done using FCP. It was shot on red cam.
    I have transcoded the rushes to Prores lt 720 using redcine x. Thats fine I import the rushes and audio and begin to sync. All good so far. now randomly it seems! the audio will take the name of the Video clip when i Link them, sometimes it does sometimes it doesn’t. This is a massive pain in the ass when it comes to conforming as you would expect.
    Also randomly it would seem again! clips that i have imported into FCP suddenly aren’t able to be shown in the bin when I hit (Shift-F) there is the ‘no master clip in the browser’ etc warning.

    Any Ideas
    its a nightmare when you come to online

    cheers sam

    I know of two ways around this.

    Personally, I don’t bother to link the sync audio, and just keep a sync/assembly sequence with all my synced media. I don’t mind the extra work to extend clips, etc. in the name of keeping it simple.

    The other option is to select your synced/linked clips and select ‘Make Independent Clip.’ If you drag these to a bin in the browser window it will create new master clips.

    Thanks for the reply

    its probably best to not sync as you said!

    cheers
