an update to this, there is a way! I finally found a YouTube video that lays it out. Basically you create a multi-channel preset sequence with mono tracks , copy your synced clips into that preset sequence, load that sequence into the source side…enable multicam in the source window…and you have a multi-cam sequence! Here is the YouTube video. Thank you Paul Murphy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiVYRuWohZI

Gamma! This is great. The easier the workflow up front the better. Thank you for answering all my questions.

render render, sorry I’m a newbie

here are latest findings

I did a test where I set the AE comp in the render cue to be DVCPRO HD and it looked terrible. even with best settings!

however if I kept it at the default animation it rendered best
and then set the FCP timeline to animation compression – all was well

did an additional test where I converted the AE animation render QT as a QT movie with DVCPRO HD compression, imported that in FCP and there was no need to render in the DVCPRO HD timeline, the letters were clean but the entire AE section was darker

went back to quick time and noticed that the quality was medium but don’t know how to set it to a higher quality

so still haven’t cracked the code. but getting closer…
thanks for your help and putting up with an AE newbie, will email back when I have this perfect

alas it is set to NONE and it’s greyed out so I can’t change it

That doesn’t help but what I did notice is:

AE exports it with the animation compression
If I make FCP timeline match those settings and then render my picture edit in that timeline, I get a clean quicktime movie with clean letters

If I change the AE export settings to match my original timeline DVCPRO HD
The movie doesn’t have to render when I place it in the HD timeline but the letters still look like dogmeat, even in the viewer

so it seems like it must export out of AE with animation and then that animation sets the compression rate for the whole sequence?

that seems like such a wacky work around though.

Any further thoughts?

Thanks for answering.
