Well I edited the whole film already in X without a problem. Was actually fantastic. And I did tons of replace with gap deleting. I havent opened timeline since the update but had to go work on some music stuff so reopened this week and started having problem…so its not something inherent to X. it is something new

hmm that is strange. multicam definitely won’t crash resolve. i’ve done a number of multicam music video type projects that were graded in resolve via the XML round trip. and i dont thnk Xto7 is mean to work with multicam, will probably be a dead end.
is there anything else in your timeline that’s funky that maybe you could take out? maybe try stripping anything weird or unnecesary. breaking compound clips. whatever else you can think of. then exporting XML to Resolve again.

You should definitely use overwrite to primary storyline. you can simply insert a gap at end of the orignal primary storyline section of the proper length if you dont want to overwrite the next clip.
The “left from storyline”, “replace with gap” (thats shift delete), and “over write to storyline” are your friend. really powerful and these are the functions that most people fail to understand and therefore fail to understand the power of magnetic timeline/bemoan loss of tracks.

Resolve can import FCPX XML directly and will handle all of the multicam clips perfectly. Skip Xto7 entirely.

you should be able to relink in resolve which is free download.
export your original FCPX timeline as XML. Open it in resolve. Get new media in right place. relink. then export XML for FCPX.

what frame rates are you working in?
at a similar stage in post as you, i once accidentally created a 24fps timeline when it should have been 23.78. didn’t notice the discrepancy until i broke apart a CC, at which point FCPX suddenly failed to maintain sync and shifted a bunch of stuff slightly.

yeah i havent used that trick in 10. only resolve 9. i also wasnt using plural eyes
-
you can also round trip it through davinci resolve and end up with a simple timeline when you reimport the fcpxml
actually, i wonder — can you export your XML from FCPX, and then just reimport it. Would that then flatten the multicam?
-
yeah i’ve never done it with multicam. when you highlight them and look in the inspector, does it seem like the inspector is indicating that multiple things are highlighted?
try highlighting only two? or try highlighting one with and one without effects to determine what exactly the inspector is “looking at”

download resolve light (its free). export his edit from FCPX as XML and load into resolve on the computer with the correct files.
you will be able to relink to the correct files by selecting the option “ignore file name extensions” in the automatic relinking dialogue.
