You could export a reference movie for each angle/track, reimport them and multiclip that. Via File>Export Quicktime Movie, make sure that Make selfcontained is deselected.

Also, FW400 is slow. What is the data rate of your media (look it up in the browser)?

Anyone reading this could think of a multitude of reason so it might be handy if you give some more info on your project, your sequence, the media and last but not least your hardware…

First look where your Render Files should be going (System Settings > Scratch Disks), search in the Finder if they are there and tell us,

I have heard the same story in my area but I can’t tell if it’s fact or fiction – being a one man business I use neither of them.

Pedro if you have a look at the Media Manager you will see a few checkboxes dealing with deleting unused media and excluding unused clips. In the dropdown menu select Copy. Look at the green bars on the top to verify if things go well. The Media Manager is FCP’s weak spot but for your request it does a proper job.

I don’t see the problem – drag your multiclip to the timeline, set in and out points and create your subclip. It works.
Well, a small problem: if you drag that subclip into another timeline then you don’t get all the angles. But if you doubleclick on that subclip it will open as a sequence itself and all angles are there.

Not sure, but if you select all your clips in the new sequence, rightmouse>remove attributes and select Distort as the attribute to remove, does that solve the problem?

To be honest I am a bit confused on this point – the manual says that “media that have to be created from scratch” (things that have to be rendered) need recompressing. But I always have this option deselected. I always render to the current settings (with or without things being rendered in the timeline) and I never noticed a problem.
NB I forgot to mention a few things:
– in the Video Processing tab of the Sequence settings you should switch to 10-bits processing, if you want to take advantage of those 2 extra bits.
– what is convenient about sequences that are set to 8- or 10-bits uncompressed is that you will have more filters available in real time. -
Then you might as well stay inside FCP – Just turn the XDCAM sequence into an uncompressed 10bits sequence (choose the preset in the sequence settings) and go File > Export Quicktime Movie (selfcontained of course).
