Try it. Use the noise reduction function in the angle editor. It will completely spoil the the project every time.

One of the chief problems is making noise reduction or fx in the angle editor will cause a cutting sound at every edit in the story line. This is especially annoying if you’re cutting say a wedding outside and ad a noise filter in the angle editor to cut the wind noise or other bg noise. You’re forced to use an audio crossfade on every cut in the story line to hide the audio cut noise.

Do not detach the audio. Your last option is the best. This is what makes the whole system a pain. It’s a tradeoff. Making lots of cam changes makes the audio difficult to edit. Extend audio where you can, but make you you keep all the audio attached. At some point you’ll have to pull audio from another cut. Don’t try and detach and chop up one clip of audio and use it as connected clips. It will come back and haunt you later in the cut. Trust me I’ve tried it.

I’ve had paste attributes stop functioning several times.

Make sure your inspector is not open while editing. This can grind your system down terribly. go pro footage can slow it down as well. Best to transcode to proxy especially when using multicam. I can get away with 2 c100s native, maybe with an added go pro. But proxy workflow its so easy, you might as well.
Check the inspector first though. That’s the usual suspect of this problem.

So Avid FX is additional option now? And Symphony includes a lite version of Boris CC rather than full?

Playhead resetting at the head of the clip is one of the most annoying behaviors in the software!
Matchframe to orignal clip from multi clip. Allow CC grouping of multi clips. Allow Optical flow and stabilization of multi-clips!
Trimming:
A real extend edit that doesn’t require clicking on the edit point first. Premiere stole it from Avid. Please do the same Apple! Select nearest edit trim.Media Management:
Used media only consolidation.
External Render, proxy, and trascoded files from the library. -
Cool I’ll try that. I was hoping that clicking on a library to open fcp would keep all the other projects from showing. Especially when a client’s behind me.

Ashley,
I’ve done a million of these. You DO want Plural Eyes. You do not want to use FCP’s sync. PE will do in 20 seconds what will take FCP an eternity (in comparison) and usually won’t get the sync right. If you were using long clips then FCP would be ok, but wedding videography tends to have lots of starts and stops. As long as the audio is running PE will do the job so easy its stupid.
Download the trial and test one against the other. You will pull out your credit card so fast to purchase it will make your head spin.

MC 7 Transcodes in the background. Watch some videos on the new feature. You can work while transcoding now. Shouldn’t slow you down any more than your current FCP workflow in which you wait on MPG stream clip to make Prores files. Also check out the dynamic folders which will automatically transcode to DNX (avid’s version of prores if you will) when you import them from the camera. This should be faster than how you are currently working. I don’t like Premiere’s timeline for cutting personally. Also FCPX will cut through native H.264 quite easily, so Adobe isn’t your only other option.
