I know you think you’ve asked a good question but what do you mean by “backwards” and who’s Dean? The best set of step-by-step instructions for setting up and using multiclips are in the FCP manuals.

Genlock is no mystery to us old guys but you new digital people have misperceptions about what it means or what it does. Save your money. Your 2-frame issue will not be addressed by a genlock source.

> genlock: The synchronization of two television signals at the vertical, horizontal, and chroma phase levels such that the signals may be cut, mixed, or cross-faded without noticeable roll, jump, or chroma shift. Note: Modern usage accomplishes this with a frame synchronizer/ time base corrector, but it may also be accomplished by a closed loop method or an open loop method, the latter using a pair of rubidium clocks and a video delay line to maintain chroma lock.< Try these: https://www.mivs.com/technical/appnotes/an005.html

I’ve read and re-read your post several times and I cannot figure out what your trouble is but I have not use 4.5 for a couple of years. No clue why your timeline cannot be scaled or what you mean by “seperate [sic] files” for your “transitions.”

Bringing in ppt as a movie is next to impossible so don’t even bother trying unless you have the Macintosh version of Office or can convert to QT via Keynote.

If you bring the jpegs in as separate items, you can easily manipulate them for length, effects, motion and apply all kinds of transitions. There are no tricks to this so if your system is not accepting the jpegs you may have other, for more weird, issues.

Explain a bit more. You don’t get a copy or the copy isn’t usable?
Search with Spotlight for the FCP file, it might be going someplace unexpected.

Such questions prompt more questions for me.
Why do you think you need a burst gen? Is black the only signal you need?

I do not know your background, Lee, but we get lots of inquiries about peripheral equipment that do not necessarily have anything to do with a particularly system’s needs.

What you want to do is a simple manual mix. Open the individual master clips in the Viewer and place the audio tracks from each back into the timeline. Cut, trim, adjust levels and pans for all four tracks.

There is actually a way to do separate audio cuts on any of all tracks for all cameras using the multicam interface but I’ve never been able to figure it out. I just go back and replace individual tracks if I must.
