Hhhmm.. it would seem that I align the grid horizontally.. put in my graphic and then rotate the graphic to satisfy the vertical edges.

Like your picture Simon I can get the grid to align with the license plate either horizontally or vertically but not both at the same time. Must be the a secret sauce in there somewhere! 🙂
The workflow is genius in its simplicity and I would like to practice it for the day I will need it.
Thanks,

Figured out Simon’s trick. Thank you!

All good advice but it seems the OP is not understanding that all the clips of one camera will go on to one angle once all the clips have the same camera name. Two cameras and an audio? That’s three angles.
It helps that the cameras have wild sound to help sync but I’ve greatly sped up syncing by also having sync on First Marker selected. While leaving the sound sync checked also use First Marker (and that goes for the first clip of a number of clips) and FCPX will use the First Marker so hone in on sync quickly and then fine tune the sync using sound. You just have to be close on the markers. Don’t have to be frame-accurate. I’ve had projects with many clips sync quickly doing this.

I would think if you made it an HD project, the HD footage would fill the screen as normal, but when you put in the UHD footage you would change its Spatial Conform to ‘None’ so it displays its normal size but only about a fourth of the picture would fall into the HD space and you can pan the UHD footage and neither the HD or UHD footage would be shrunk or expanded.

I suspect you’re not actually talking about a transition from a template but a manually configured transition like ramping down the clip opacity and such because if you had actually made a transition you would have done it in Motion and would know about Motion already.
As Andy says, you need Motion to create and save transitions, effects and generators. RippleTraining.com has an excellent Motion tutorial series. Most of the templates in your Final Cut effects browsers can be opened in Motion by right-clicking on one of the templates. Modify it and Save As.. under a different name.

I also have a new Mac Pro. 12 cores. Maxed to the hilt.
At first i put all three monitors on Bus 0. That’s the HDMI at the bottom (for timeline output) and two monitors on the bottom ports (across). The Mac Pro would only light up two of the monitors.
Then I read the support article and I put one monitor on each bus. Perfect. All three light up and FCPX can now choose to use the display on the HDMI port as a timeline output display. I have three Thunderbolt drives and I also distributed them among the three buses. Things work well now.

Just right-click or Control-click on the multi cam clip and choose ‘Open in Timeline’ or something close to that (FCPX is not open for me right now).
You’ll get ‘inside’ the multi cam clip. Select the clip you want to move and nudge it a frame at a time left or right with the comma and period keys. Holding shift while nudging makes the chosen clip jump, I think, 10 frames at a time.

I’m editing this post from asking for help to solved.
Got my new maxed-out 12-core Mac Pro and hooked up three monitors; a 27″ Thunderbolt for my main display and two 1080 monitors. One connected with an adaptor to be the second display and one connected via HDMI to show as the output of the timeline on Final Cut Pro X.
Originally, the HDMI output simply did not work. After trying many things I powered down the new Mac Pro and switched some cables around. I originally had all three monitors connected to the third bus (the bottom two TB ports (across) and the HDMI port. Yes, all three monitors were being served by one bus. I put one monitor into each of the three buses. In the two columns of three TB ports the top two vertically on the left is one bus, the top two vertically on the right is another bus, and the bottom two horizontally and the HDMI port are served by the third bus. Once I had the monitor load spread out among the three buses then my HDMI monitor came to life (it showed no input before). Suddenly the HDMI monitor showed up in my Display preferences as well, and the HDMI port could be enabled in Final Cut Pro X.
Yay!

Dave! I did NOT like hearing that! I’m expecting my new Mac Pro this week. Max’ed to the limit. The last thing I want to see is the halting execution I’m seeing on my 2008 Mac Pro! My son just got his new Mac Pro yesterday and he keeps getting the alert “Your computer was restarted because of a problem” with ‘Ignore’ and ‘Report’ buttons. He can’t get the alert to go away. He’s updated it but it’s still there.
I posted in another thread here recently that I had what is described here and I checked Activity Monitor to see if there was a process that might be hogging the CPU time. The halting processes, for me, was all over every function of every app. It turned out some ‘agent’ was at the top of the list in Activity Monitor with a number far above everything else. I double-clicked on it and quit the process. Normal computer again. Don’t know what the agent did but it didn’t affect anything that I could tell. That ‘agent’ pops up once in a while. Not on every reboot. Can’t tell what triggers it.
I would be very curious if others on this thread have that issue. Please report back if you do.
