I feel your pain.
Thanks!!! lol
My advice, learn from an experienced editor, hands on if you like.
I’d actually consider myself quite an experienced editor, have been in the professional business for 10 odd years, working mainly on TV stuff. Started out on the avid, in fact, and considered FCP a sort of revelation when I started using that. I feel every click in FCP will take 3 on the Avid. FCP and Premiere just suit my mode of thinking and working better. But some companies still rely on the avid so have to use it for certain projects.
Anyway, thanks for your input guys. Will keep searching for an answer.

Thanks for your response Trevor. Indeed I have autopatch turned on and it is, in fact, not what I’m looking for. But I gather from your answer that there is probably no simple way of doing what I’m trying to do…there is never a simple way in Avid it seems, sigh…which is probably also why Adobe does not seek inspiration from Avid, the autopatch issue is not something I’ve ever had to concern myself with when using Premiere. It just works differently (simpler, in my opinion, and more straight-forward – but that’s another discussion).

Although now reading through your post again, the workflow you described (1 hour clips, chunks of clips, etc) sounds about right, so FCP isnt able to do that kinda stuff. Will note it for the future!

Actually I gave the grader an XML to work with in da vinci and what he gave back to me was a collection of clips all the exact same length as edited footage. But perhaps since the clips I originally used to work with are longer than the final graded clips…hm…or is it because we shot ProRes444 and used a PC version of Da vinci which can only output uncompressed, did the TC somehow get lost? Its just a mystery to me.
Anyway I discovered I could drag and drop the graded clips into FCP and they show up fine, which means reconnecting did not work due to timecode issues. So now I can just manually drag and drop each clip to its desired destination. Luckily it’s a short film.
Thanks for your feedback Shane, and the FCP Reconnect tip, I will def check it out!

So is this specifically a problem because of the uncompressed format, or a general one? Because I’ve reconnected stuff previously in other projects where in and out points were not matching, but it was never a problem.
Even for this project – I originally used proxys to edit, then reconnected HD footage (but not graded) – no problem at all.

really? damn. but im a poor student, there’s got to be another way.
also i forgot to mention that i tried converting it in mpeg streamclip and it gave me the same problem there. and that should usually work, or so im told…
