Bill,

Thank you for your reply.

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood, but I think that some of your assumptions do not correspond to my situation.

The video segments are not all completely contiguous without gaps (for example when the third camera man moved his camera to face the audience for question time at the end of a presentation), so I want to be able to use the multicam synchronization feature of FCPX to easily get everything perfectly in sync and do easy angle-based editing.

Assuming I already have everything in a multicam clip: what is the easiest way to produce a split screen render so that the client can see all angles and the timecode? Should I render from FCPX? Or should I play back in FCPX and capture with a screencast recording program? (My goal is simplicity for doing this with lots of clips, not necessarily high quality video: the point is to give the client a quick preview.)

Please correct me if you think I’ve missed your point!

Best,
James
