We are using internal SATA – and the problem is the other way round: the first part of the clip is black. In some cases you can’t even edit the clip to the timeline.

You may get into some trouble with HD if you want to have CC titles in your program.

Sorry no help here, we do have the same problem.
Just to confirm you are not an idiot – or both of us are.

Hi,
As said earlier, this should work out easy. You can sent me an EDL and I’ll check at the weekend

Just to confirm Bob’s reply – import the EDLinto Final Cut Pro and then export either the clips from the ‘sequence’ or he new ‘EDL BIN‘ as ‘Batch List’ and you’ll get everything you can get out of an EDL for working with a spreadsheet.
Taking Bob: “I like moving pictures, because I can control the speed” 🙂

I had had the same quite a time ago, filed it as a “funny” bug but got no response from Apple.

If you synched the audio/video for each cam make a sublip for each of them and then use the multiclip option.

I just created a movie of a workflow how it happens here. Everything is based upon my experience about Final Cut Pro XML and BWAV files.
The movie is a real real time capture made on my old G5 using a slow USB drive as source for both video and audio. The G5 runs some processes in the background.I used the mxf4mac component to handle the mxf files, their metadata, the external BWAV audio is handled by my app reading iXML info, read these metadata and family stuff to keep mono audio channels connected.
The app uses the audio files to find out which mxf will fit “tc-wise” to the P2 XML clips
The count of P2 video files are around 70, the external audio is either 3 or 5 channels (lets say average 4) per video clip.
As you see in the movie it takes about 2 minutes to get all this stuff into Final Cut Pro – imagine you got a Intel (3G 8 Core or higher).
As said earlier. I do see the future there with the mxf4mac guys Рand to be honest they love my apps too.Maybe Bj̦rn will post something about the CM which comes with the component

As far as I know it’s not an alias but a reference movie which is created.
From my experience it’s not such a good thing to work with referenced movies, as if you move or copy (copy will create a new id) any of the sources to another disk the reference is gone – but many people like to work with those referenced files and it does work fine as long you keep everything intact..
The real good deal for me/us is that mxf4mac allows us do work directly with the files. This way we can sync the files with external audio in a very flexible way.Maybe I’ll find the time over the weekend to show how we do it.

Jeremy,
I’m with you, even though the mxf4mac seems to be a bit pricey it’s a real good solution.
The main feature is that it allows total QT control without transcoding.That way I was able to build a complete workflow for a customer to combine P2 video with external BWAVs in sync.
With my workflow and mxf4mac it now takes seconds (or a real few minutes) instead of many minutes or even hours to get the files into FCP with all metadata and external audio in sync (assuming the AV is in sync).It’s definitively worth to have a look at it.
