Sure you can create a 1080p Multicamera clip and then drop it onto a 720 timeline in FCP X.
Though to be honest if it’s going to DVD you wouldn’t see much visual difference (probably none) from working on a 1080p timeline since everything is being down converted to 480p anyways. But yes you could do precisely what you’re asking.
Also you may find you don’t need to use nearly as much keyframing with X’s built-in Ken Burns effect instead- which lets you set starting and ending frames and then automatically moves between them over the length of a shot.
Hope that helps- there’s a free trial if you wanted to experiment.https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/

Kinda depends on what sort of gear the MP3 recordings was made. The sync may simply be baked in due to lack of proper timecode. So the fix, unfortunately is manual. Sync at the start manually. Then play along until it’s noticeably out of sync, make a blade cut in the audio track and resync that portion. Keep doing it until it looks in sync from start to finish.

Right on- glad to help.

Can you show what your timeline looks like there- it’s possible the aspect ratio of your RED clips is mismatched with that effect somehow.

Can you post a full resolution still of that?

What are your system specs?

Right on- glad that worked for you.

You can do this- as long as the final media matches the proxy in timecode, duration, audio channel configuration, frame rate and similar file name.
- Basically all you’d do is first create a project at the delivery resolution- say 1080/24p.
- Then add the proxy media into an Event. Keep everything well organized in the Finder before ingesting so you can refer back when it comes time to relink.
- Keep all your proxies set to Spatial Conform-Fit in the Inspector. Don’t do a lot of keyframing/cropping/etc because you may end up having to redo a lot of that stuff depending on the different resolution of the high quality clips. Focus on the pure picture edit.
- When you receive the high quality media- place it into a similar folder hierarchy as the proxy- again to make the manual relink simpler.
- Then select the Event with the proxy media and File>Relink Event Files.
- Select the Relink Option for All. Then point to the high quality media. If the names are the same it should match all automatically.
I’d recommend doing an experiment with at least one example of proxy and high quality media to confirm that it works with your media.

FCPX uses the GPU to render, not the CPU so that’s normal…
