Thanks so would I only be able to get it to ableton via pro tools? I’m trying to convince him to get Logic Pro or pro tools so it can be a little easier of a round trip.

I cannot figure out a way to make the media offline and then relink it to my backup drive, everything I am looking at doesn’t seem to make it possible?

Panasonic AVC on 3 camera’s and Canon

Shooting at 30 fps / 720p

Editing on Macbook Pro (mid-2012) / 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

Should be alright to handle it, but it is a longer scene.

I didn’t know better.

So for Camera’s I’ll use A, B, C, D and for Audio should I use X, Y, Z to sort the audio?

I’ll simplify it now.

Any other suggestions?

Here’s how I set up the Camera Angles, based on a video I watched on it.

I didn’t think it would take that long. Also, when I did a smaller selection (1 Take), which had 3 video and 4 audio channels, they weren’t in sync, is there something I need to do to prep the files to be in sync?

So I was going through the footage and realized 3 of the 4 cameras are 29.97, which is what my setting is for the timeline (720p, 29.97), but one of the cameras was shot at 720p, 23.98. When I removed that camera, it has been moving much quicker, for obvious reasons. So now I’m trying to figure out if I should go to the camera that shot 23.98 and convert it to 29.97 outside of FCPX in some conversion software? Or how should I handle, I still need that camera badly, so I need to figure out a workflow to get all that footage (3 days worth) into a format that will play nice with my 29.97 footage.

Any thoughts? Any good third party software to convert from 23.98 to 29.97?

Thanks,
Daniel

I think I’m gonna give Plural Eyes a try to see if it handles it faster than FCPX does. I’ll give FCPX tonight to try to get this right, but it seems like Plural Eyes is far more robust and as a niche product, probably handles this past better.

Yeah, the show was improvised so I don’t know which moments will be the best, so I need to bring everything in and handle it all. I know, crazy, but I think its how I have to deal with it.

Hi and thanks!

It was about 15 takes of 4 cameras + plus 3 audio. In all, about 30 minutes per video /audio. It hasn’t gone to the spinning ball, so I assume it is still going?

The original footage were Panasonic AVC, but I’ve transcoded everything to Optimal ProRes. I’m thinking I should do Proxies to help speed things up. That being said, I’ve not used Proxies yet, is there anything I need to do aside from Transcoding the footage to Proxies? When I go to sync everything up via Multicam, will it automatically go to the Proxies to sync up or do I need to tell it to use the Proxies?

Thanks for the help.

Daniel

Okay cool, I’ll try the csv route, but it was a small crew so we didn’t have anyone to take notes :-/

Thanks
