You can set view title safe which gives you two frames over the image. Unfortunately it is hard to see the edge of the frame in this view and doesn’t show what is outside the frame.

Shot like reality has a lot with how lighting is done, so I wonder if the difference you see is 24 vs 30 fps or the lighting.

Thanks, I will do some tests with those approaches, once I have delivered the video for its showing Saturday. It could be one of the color correcting one of the photos was causing a problem. Certainly caused me a moment of panic since I am close to the deadline.

This is really a timely discussion for me, since I am putting together a piece to be shown at a dinner for an athletic hall of fame. Normally I do film for my own uses. I think a key conclusion of this thread, is make it as clean and watchable before showing it to the client, because the flaws will get their attention, not issues that you need advice on. So for me, no distracting artifacts like a time code running at the bottom. Fine tuning the color and massaging the audio can probably come at the end, but otherwise it should be as complete as possible. Probably saves time in the end and reduces the back and forth between the editor and the client. (I hope).

On many video cameras, setting the gain is often done in db’s . In this case a change of gain of 6 db, results in 1 stop, (a factor of 2 in light intensity). So 18 db is equivalent to three stops. If you are using a dslr, gain is expressed in ISO and going from 200 to 400 ISO is equivalent to one stop or a factor of 2 in light intensity. Then there is the question of how to equate the sensitivity of a video camera in terms of ISO, that is yet another adventure.
I need to read some more on what the IRE curve means in terms of light exposure.

Move along, there is nothing to see here.

Audio ducking looks convenient.

One thing that causes a lot of background work is dumping large size photos into X. For example a dng file out of my Nikon runs 20 MB per photo. I usually run them through Lightroom and export them at about 1 MB jpg before importing them into x. I have never tested how small (MB?) they can be made for a 1080 p file before there is visible degradation in the resulting x video. Anybody have a rule of thumb?

I agree. For this application, it is a static interview with fixed lighting. So it should save time to grade and color correct the clips from each camera before cutting between the two in multicam. Of course the other approach would be to cut everything, then select all the subclips from one camera, and apply a correction across all of them at once.

There is a FCPX Facebook group and it is largely focused on question for new users of FCPX. Basically, does anyone under 30 use forums? I learn a lot from the two Cow X forums, may they live on an prosper. For me, the choice ship sailed long ago, when I invested the time to learn FCPX. Since I don’t spend all my time editing, the possible benefits of learning a new editing program have to be weighed against the time required to learn to be efficient in it.
