Clips on local/external drive?
Not on actual media right?
I do this all the time with copied R3Ds and never a problem.
Not sure if XDCAM is supported this way.

How much does the shot move on both clips?

I would use Resolve if it moves a lot.

Just glad its not a camera 🙂

HP DreamColor 24″ Z24x is cheap.
However its 1920×1080 I do believe.

Im looking at the 27″ and its priced under 700 USD.

And a bit more on the tech of the color calibration option

Sounds like a bug.
I ran into something like this where all my changes did not update on screen.
Eventually after a reboot, the edits occurred.

Hey I would love if all clips arrive on my lap with TC, perfect audio, shot in 8K, and color grade approved by paying client 😉

But, there are days when you get the blind leading blind here 😛

[Eric Santiago]

Once you get past that and a few other “quirks” you will love working in FCPX.

No TC was used in this project so I had to use audio sync.
Which baffles me cause Sync option is bang on with the same clips.
Its not a deal breaker.
I think the originator will have to suck it up and finish in FCP7.
Ive been using 7toX to sync audio after final edits.
A pain to deal with and the works well if we both edit from zero to end.
A lot of copy and paste at specific time frames 😛

[Eric Santiago]

Wes not sure but dont you also have to range select the audio?

[Eric Santiago]

Thanks folks.
Yes to most of the questions.
Ive tried all options at sync point.
I also checked the footage info and both are same format and framerate.
Only diff is that one starts later than the other.
Like I said, works great using the Sync option but not so good using Multi-Cam.
Ive never had this issue before with other cameras, just this EX-3 project is killing me.
The original NLE was FCP7.
Editor was eyeballing the audio to the clips.
I got tired of waiting so I took the original sources and started a new project in FCPX.
Since Ive had perfect success with Multi-Cam before, I thought I was going to power through and have it all ready in FCPX.
