X to 7 and R3Ds

It only seems to effect synchronized clips imported via XML, and not synchronized clips created in fcpx.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Imported XML from a round trip?
From Resolve? -
I haven’t tried Resolve so I’m not sure, but yes potentially any XML created outside of X that sends over synced clips.
It’s an easy test. Import the XML with 4k sync’d clip, put a 4k sync’d clip in a 1080 timeline. The spatial conform controls won’t work, and the clip properties of the clip in the timeline are listed as 1080 (or the raster size of the Project) when its in the timeline, even though the XML states the clip is 4k. In the Browser, the clip retains the 4k properties.

Jeremy I have done the XML exchange with a Director/Editor on his movie.
He would send me the FCPX XML and I can open the file on mine.
But we kept everything 1:1 so I never run into that issue.
I love the FCPX Sync option, I honestly cant understand why Premiere doesnt work with my recent shoot.
The scratch mic audio on the clips seem loud enough.
I wish Resolve had this built in.
Have you had good results using the RCXPro TC sync?
I had issues with that as well.
But then Im dealing with a batch of mags that have intermittent TC on it 😛 -
Unfortunately this is why old school – having a slate with a clap – is still the most reliable method.

Yep I have to rely on that big time.
This isnt the first time Ive had to do this.
Last fall it was another 800 plus R3D shoot that I manually synced in FCXP.
I had to get it into Avid MC.
I used Resolve as the transfer and that was actually fun.
Sadly the in the end that movie had to have 80% ADR 🙁
I am currently researching TC boxes.
Since Im the owner of this RED gear Im gonna have to bite the bullet and enforce this for future shoots.
Recent purchase of a 4pin to 5pin Lemo wasnt good enough since you have to jam after every camera shutdown.
Such as life. -

If not, there are manual sync options by setting the slate on both audio and video, but it’s laborious. I would end up doing it in fcpx just like you.
I’m lucky in that for the most part, the tc is usually in tact from the shoot .
It’s to the point now that most audio folks we work with record double system sound and jam tc without even asking if we need the capability, they just do it. I think that there are so many different cameras and so many different settings and ways to screw things up, most audio folks run the double system as the known master.
I have also started to get in the habit of having them name the audio channels, and the using Sync-N-Link, all the audio components and Roles come in pre named. The audio post guys love it as all of that info gets passed off to the AAF for post.
I don’t have any experience using Pr’s waveform sync capabilities, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work with R3Ds, specifically.

I guess NAB was all a blur to cause I did not remember anything about Sync-N-Link 🙁
Now of course the million dollar question is…will it work FCPX XML to Premiere CC 2014 using Xto7?Yes Im still stuck on this issue 😛
And since this is all based on TC, Im boned since 2/3 of the shoot TC dont exist 🙁

There’s a version made for Fcp7/PrCC: https://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/Sync-N-Link/
[Eric Santiago] “And since this is all based on TC, Im boned since 2/3 of the shoot TC dont exist :(“
Yes. For that, perhaps Plural Eyes, would be your best bet.
-
To date Pluraleyes and Premiere CC 2014 will not place nice with current R3Ds/WAV recived from feature shoot 🙁
I can only audio sync using FCPX.
The scratch on the RED must be too quite for Pluraleyes/Adobe.
