So far, so good. I’ve got the files from both cameras matched to the point where I can actually do a multi-cam edit. The audio files are next. Ugh!

I believe that in order to use the firewire method, there must also be a video signal present. The analog audio input works just fine, and you can capture directly into FCP.
They are .WAV files, but I doubt if there was timecode or lock codes. Certainly no slate. These guys are amateurs who did the job for nothing. You get what you pay for. When will people understand?
Yeah, it’s a real nightmare. I think this was his first shoot with the 7D, and it looks like it. It’s not for broadcast. Output format is not important. It can even be SD.
