Sounds like they were set up as stereo pairs Steven. In future you can pair/unpair them by pressing Option L (or Modify menu > Stereo Pair)
Also, you’ll want to note the Clip Settings panel in the Log and Transfer window where you can link/unlink stereo pair settings prior to import … which might save you a heap of time down the line
Hope it helps

hopefully you’ll find a good use for them … but failing that at least you can be assured of value for money 😉

Hi Lars
I’d check the following to start:
1) Make sure the source footage is indeed residing on your external media drive and not hiding somewhere on the internal hard disc ( and if its rendered sections dropping frames then check your Scratch Disk > Render settings ).
2) Check the available hard disc space on your internal AND external drives … as hard drives fill up then you can expect to see performance dropping off significantly

Hey Steve
You can use the Clip Enable / Clip Disable toggle rather than turning off the entire layer. Just select teh item(s) that you want to disable and press Ctrl B (or choose Modify menu > Clip Enable)

If you move the marker dialog to the other monitor does it not automatically remember to popup there again the next time it opens?

Just be aware that undo’s are stored in RAM, so the more levels you specify the more RAM you eat up remembering them.
Regarding selectively removing filters from a finished sequence, you change your Playhead Sync to Open (View > Playhead Sync > Open, or Ctrl-Shift-O) and then scrub through your sequence … as you do so then each clip under the playhead will open into the Viewer window; switch the Viewer window to display the Filters tab and then as each clip opens up there, disable or delete the unwanted effects …
… or try Filter Remover from the fine folks at EditMule … its only 15 bucks and it could save you hours of tedious work:

Hey Kevin
You should have no problem receiving FCP 6 logging projects when working in FCP 7 .. you should find the project will update just fine and all logging data present and correct.
If you need to log or edit in FCP 7 and then mail back something that will work just as seamlessly for your co-editor using FCP 6 then be sure to export your project as an XML v4 file (File menu > Export > XML… then choose Format: Apple XML Interchange Format, version 4). A project file in that format should open right up in FCP 6 (File menu > Import > XML…) and your colleague will be good to go.

As someone working in 50i (acquisition and delivery) and as someone also working with a happy slappy new 7D camera owner I would beg you to please shoot 50p if you want to make your editor happy.
We now return you to your scheduled programming 🙂

1. MPG issue: When I import an MPG file into FCP the audio is missing. I can play the MPG file in Quicktime and the audio plays. Any thoughts?
FCP doesn’t like any form of multiplexed audio Kevin. You need to demux such file s first using a suitable app such as MPEG Streamclip (https://www.squared5.com/) … whilst you are there, it would be highly recommended you simply convert those files to an altogether more edit friendly codec, such as DV or DV50. MPG is not on of FCP’s preferred formats, its a delivery format, not an editing format.
2. MP4 issue: I used the FLIP HD MINO to record an interview. I used the FLIP software to download the video onto my computer, which is in the mp4 format. When I import the mp4 file into FCP, I can render the video, but when I play it the video and audio are out of sync.
Again, not an FCP preferred format. Not at all edit friendly, another delivery format. Convert to a intermediate edit format. For low end HD then you might want to try Apple ProRes 422 LT or DVCPRO HD.
