wouldn’t OMF/XML/EDL suffer from needing the same technique?
I.E. I’d still need to assign an A&B dialog for the export/import into the DAW? I suppose I could just leave it to the sound guy to checkerboard to his liking… I just don’t think they’re going to be too happy at the extra work 😀

Yeah. This is pretty much as I imagined it would work.
Looks like the best method would be to wait until pic/audio lock and then do the tagging. Still feels a bit convoluted and much more work than just using tracks. I suppose some workflows have to change to facilitate others though.
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
With tracks I would have just simply continued to checker board the audio no matter what the source of the clip; Handles overlapping as needed. Exporting a set of dual mono stems or an XML/EDL was pretty straight forward.
I understand that the traditional checkerboarding method may be moot in FCPx, but I’m still unsure of how I would replicate its functionality. I have to go through the final edit and tag each edit as either A dialog or B dialog? I surly can’t do it up front as I have no idea as to what part of what take I am going to take the talents dialog from? Many takes will have dialog from multiple characters so I can’t really see how I could tag on import.
I am most likely visualizing this all wrong and sitting down with FCPx for a few hours will settle things in my head… but for the moment I remain confused.

Would buying motion from the app store be a cheaper option?

I have been under the impression the Prores was fine but proresHQ was out of the window on a MBP. At least thats what I have always been told. I’ll need to give my dealer a good old slap!
Cheers for the education.

As far as i know you won’t get ProresHQ on a laptop.
Also, the esata card I have uses the express slot on my MBP, I dont know if the KONA uses this or not, but certainly the MXO2 does.

Quicktime pro should then let you export in a variety of flavours

Where can you see and hear it? On the Z1’s lcd?
Do you have deck control over the FW cable?
Under the Menu setings of the Z1 in VCR mode, Scroll down to IN/OUT REC (the 2 arrows) and ensure you’re in DV mode or auto for the VCR output. Check that the A/V-DV out is ON.
Failing that, try a different FW cable. If still no luck, try a different deck/camera if you can. I know that at least one of our Z1’s has a hookey FW out.
Good Luck.
