Are you talking about FCP 7 and h264 media? Sure sounds like it.

I’ve tried them and they crash my system just as bad as the current ones. For me, the changing factor was El Capitan. Doesn’t matter what drivers. So I went out and bought an AJA. All fixed.

Backups are made every 15 minutes. How are you accessing the backup?

I believe that was February, right? Seems to me from Feb to June that’s all we talked about. It was known that Larry and others had been to a special closed presentation on the next version of FCP.

Quick trick if you don’t want to muck it up with compounds…
Blade the logo (or clip). If you want a 30 frame transition, blade the clip 15 frames in. Drop the transparency to 0 of the left portion (or right portion if it’s an outgoing transition) and apply the transition to the bladed spot. The transition will stop affecting the video below it because it now has a (transparent) source to affect.

Audio pops on audio edits have been a staple of NLEs for over 20 years. Don’t mess with tradition!

Here’s a screenshot of a multicam. See how the highlighted clip’s audio goes underneath multiple clips. The clips it goes under don’t have any audio (it’s turned off in inspector). I tend to do this for each speaker/audio source once the image is locked, and before audio mix because it’s easier to adjust one level than a bunch. Also easier if you’ve added compression or eq. As well, as you can see, often I’ll overlap and do a fade between the speakers.

Audio is always cut along with the video. Sometimes resulting in an audio pop. So take the fist clips audio an drag it out under all the video cuts like a big L cut. Make sense?
-
I like to expand audio components on the first cut and drag out the audio track the length of the multicam portion. Then turn off audio in all the other cuts. So it’s similar to breaking apart audio to get an unbroken audio track, but without breaking sync. You may want to group them in a secondary timeline as well to keep the clips synced together.

Never mind. F* me. Crashing out to decklink CMIO again. (plugs back in AJA)
