Come to think of it, doing a copy paste isn’t a viable alternative since the goal is usually to do a relative volume adjustment to a portion of the project. I’m going to test and see if this is normal behavior and report back.

Well its just as fast to use copy paste as it is to do decibel adjustment on the timeline, it was just another annoying side effect of the magnetic TL. I was sure I knew all the gotchas at this point. Hopefully this will save someone a few hours if it happens to them.

I’m having a similar problem where everything in the C100 angle is just black and offline. When I reimport the footage, it works fine and then clips randomly go offline for no reason. These are from files that were transcoded to Prores LT. I was hoping your solution would work, but there were no transcoded clips in the event folder. Had to port the whole project to FCP 7 to finish.
Oddly enough, all the pointers in my “Original Media” folders work fine.

Strangely enough, when I resend from PE the same angle has many clips offline though they play just fine in the PE Window.

Yes I do have it. I generally import the plural eyes project then merge it with the event that I’ve set up.

Thanks,
I know of the Adobe problem. These files were never opened by an Adobe app. Only X and 7. I’ve tried reimporting them but it doesn’t relink anything. It’s only one angle that’s affected throughout the full multi clip.

Bad reason to move away from Avid seeing as you can transcode to Prores LT or Dnx100 in the background whilst making selects and editing. Not saying you should cut in Avid, but wouldn’t want anyone to think there was an advantage there with FCP X since this feature just became available in MC 7. I am in the same boat wanting the whole pipeline to go through Prores LT which is how my client is currently doing it in FCP 7.

Who made the toaster comment? Same ilk of people who said “stop complaining and stack cut” pre 10.03. “who needs an external monitor?” etc. Same types who think that no favorites IS a feature.
We hear this stuff all the time.X’s ability to refine sync and mix framerates are its strengths. Outside of that, it is inferior to the majors for all the reasons I previously stated. That I can’t stabilize or use the denoising functions is completely unacceptable. There is no work around for the audio fix. It ripple glitches the whole MC clip if you apply a noise reducer in the angle editor or timeline. Even if you blade and fix one section.
Not to mention X crashes frequently when you cross over black in a MC. I mean like 10 times in under an hour on long clips.
This doesn’t happen in any other program.
Don’t be so sure all will be fixed in the next update. We’re going on 2 years without no brainers like favorite effects and colored markers. The green frame problem made X damn near unusable for anyone using 3rd party fx until it was fixed in 10.08
That someone thinks there is no merit to flattening a multiclip doesn’t really deserve a response.

Really you can finalize a multi clip in the angle editor? That’s news to me. If you read the original thread you’d know the poster was asking for a way to do it without going to the angle editor. You know like you can in any other NLE. After so many trips there, you are losing a lot of time. Also if you apply noise reduction it runs the clip in the timeline and creates a cutting noise at each cut.

I bitched about this a week ago in the “or not” thread. The response I got was “be glad you don’t have to work on a video toaster.” Honestly the multicam has several problems. You can’t stabalize a clip, you can’t do optical flow, can’t finalize the clip, and you can’t even do noise reduction.
I was tempted to post a rant titled “FCPX Not Ready For Wedding Editors”
