Thanks for the link James, I’ll look into that and see if it helps.

Thanks Noah, will do. Still odd that one piece of audio doesn’t get transmitted from the application and another does. And the audio file plays back in the timeline but simply not when having the multi cam editor open.
weird…

sorry I just noticed someone else mentioned that already…

I think the “send to motion” problem will soon be solved: https://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/articles/1798-automatic-duck-announce-xsend-motion-get-final-cut-pro-x-timelines-into-motion-5

Thanks so much Robin! I knew there was a default setting in FCPX but I didn’t want all my transitions to be that short, just this one. I wrongly assumed that a custom made transition with a different duration would automatically override FCPX settings so I totally missed the “Override FCP” box in motion. This really saves me so much time so thanks again!

Thanks for posting this Bill,
In the video I’ve found a couple of things that have sped up things considerably in my “workflow”. I am not an editor by trade so these kinds of videos really give an insight in how things can be done. I am the leading “actor” in all my shots and I make quite a few mistakes. How he sorts the good from the bad works very good for me and helps a lot.

I use Motion quite regularly for making templates for FCPX. I also like to edit the templates I buy from Motion VFX. I’m not a very skilled user but I find my way around motion fairly well as I did a couple of courses from Ripple Training. I really like the integration of the 2 and for my work I’ve never really needed to have send to motion though it would have been handy once or twice.

That is exactly why I think there is a place for pro’s. Many kids want to make a living playing “in a band” until they start to live the life. Quickly it is not that nice anymore. They find out how much work it is making a living on music.
I like playing and concerts but I don’t like touring all that much. Some think you get to see cool places. Well, yeah, the hotel rooms in those places. And they all look the same.
With regards to editing, I think many will try to do it but at some point will start hiring quality people to get the job done. (with probably a new found respect for any craft involved) At the same time future pro’s can get a head start learning the trade on an early age. In that sense, they will be ahead of the game as they’ll have a lot more experience when they go to University to study as opposed to kids many years ago.

I am not so sure about all this. Of course there are more people getting into editing, production, etc. At the same time the demand for (good) content has grown significantly as well. Perhaps not all in the same fields but you can’t deny that the amount of content via video has grown significantly.
I think there will still be a demand for professionals and maybe even more demand than ever before.
In my business I was forced to do stuff myself because I didn’t have the money to pay for a high-end editor, website designer etc. But as the business is picking up I have hired a webdesigner to build my website (and it was not cheap). As soon as I earn enough I will outsource editing / video production as well as it is not my core business. I enjoy it, but I’d rather do other things in that time.
Many people start things up doing it themselves or hire an amateur but that doesn’t mean it will stay like that. Some people hire a kid to take photo’s at their wedding, I wonder how many recommendations the kid will get from that afterwards.
Online content is getting better and better and to stand out you need to deliver more and more professional type content. I am positive that an editor with a keen mind can find emerging markets in an era where video is dominating the web. It’s about the value you bring to the client.
But then again, I am not a professional [edit: not a professional editor], just an entrepreneur watching from the sideline 🙂

I think failure or not depends on how you look at it. In the beginning people were also holding out on the nMP ’cause it might overheat, it might have some technical flaws because it is the first model. As it turns out the nMP is running smoothly and works great so I don’t see it as a failure.
But,… I would have expected at least a yearly update to the nMP (CPU, GPU, etc). That that hasn’t happened is a failure of Apple more than a failure of the machine they released in 2013.
Perhaps they need to sell all the stocked up parts for the 2013 nMP before an update comes along, I don’t know. Would be nice to see upgrades but as usual there is a big silence. It might suddenly be there, it might not come at all.
