True, that is exactly how I do that.

I came accros this from larry jordan, dont know if you could use synced clips like this: https://www.larryjordan.biz/fcpx-compound-clip/

Wow, don’t know… Must be something left over from the early days of fcpx, good to know i dont need the extra step. I’ll also try the new approach with multicam, thanks!

Ha, I missed that episode clearly, thanks for showing me! I must say though that when I sync my videos and turn the synced clip into a compoundclip I can do the same things with it. The great thing is that I can then composite the clips inside the compound clip and when I’m done do the actual editing on the compound clip giving me a very simple timeline. On top of that I have several layers of audio that I need to export as well, not sure how many audio layers you can have “on” simultaneously.
But If I’m interpreting the use of plural eyes correctly that could help a lot in syncing my shoots.
Also thank you for taking the time to look into this!

Yes it is a multicam but I use the sync feature as in the video I’m having all cameras at the same time. Something like a picture in picture. So you’ll see all 4 cams at the same time. Perhaps I’m not familiar enough with multicam but I always thought that you can have only 1 cam in picture

Perhaps it depends which kind of media that is used? I usually sync several audio files + 3-5 cams, cliplength 10 minutes. When I have many groups to do I would start syncing the groups and then when I’m finished giving fcpx the tasks I could start editing on the first clips as at that point they’re synced already.
Syncing doesn’t take that long indeed but, but I like to keep going instead of waiting and with the bigger projects time adds up quickly
[edit] perhaps because I do a lot of the same stuff I’m kind of on auto-mode with particular projects.

Thanks for the reply, yes it is a short clip but I used to do this with dozens of groups at the same time. After I had everything set I could work on other things while it all synced in the back ground. Good to know that I ‘m not overseeing anything and will definitely send a message to apple.
looking at plural eyes and that definitely looks promising!
I think the syncing changed with the library changes around 10.1. I didn’t notice until I upgraded till 10.2 as I was working on so many projects that I kept my old version of 10.0.9 for some time.

Actually that is not true, I’ve done this a hundred times where I could do it as described above. check this video, this is how it used to go: https://youtu.be/AgQnIT9f6_Q?t=1m15s

I more or less had the same thing. A project disappeared in FCPX, the folder was still there on the harddrive but somehow the project wouldn’t load. I didn’t have a whole lot of stuff done in that project so I started from scratch. That old project still doesn’t appear in FCPX though, strange bug.

Actually i do have an extra machine but I don’t think the 2 core imac is going to pull it offin a somewhat timely fashion 🙂 For now I just let the nMP crunch those numbers in the night and I’m not going to apply all effects at once.
In fact, when I have neat video and stabilisation applied only neat video is processed…
