What was the XML created in? I’d guess you’re missing an effect but these messages are so cryptic it can’t be more than a guess.

I thought it was the media format rather than anything of Apple’s doing. Can any NLE edit AVCHD or XAVC without rewrapping it?

I’ve never had to deal with XAVC-L footage but if you’ve retained the original card structure with your backup folders then my understanding is that it’s the same as AVCHD, etc – FCPX has to import and rewrap the files before they can be used, so the “Leave files in place” option won’t be available.

There’s no way I know of to do what you’re after. I can see how it’s be handy though. Probably a good idea to send Apple some feedback. FCPX desperately needs a way to collapse/ungroup multicam clips.

Generally once you sync the clips and start editing the multicam clip you make the clip with the audio you want to use active then set the multicam clip to do picture only cuts.

In the Browser, the ‘Home’ and ‘End’ keys will take you to the start/end of a clip.

No worries. Just mentioned it because the one I had used to jump a couple of pixels every time I clicked. Used for a couple of years not realising there was something wrong until I got a new one that didn’t do it.

There’s no way to stop selecting a range if you click and drag in the Browser window.
I don’t use my Wacom for editing very often but I gave it a try for a few minutes and even when I was trying to stop my cat leaping onto the keyboard with the other hand I didn’t drag when I clicked.
It might be my technique, thanks to the couple of months I spent doing fiddly roto work on a film a few years back, but it might also be worth checking in the macOS control panel that you’ve got the Wacom set up and calibrated properly.
Having said that, I did have some jitter issues with an old smaller model Wacom 3 that made it hard to click and not drag. If this is happening all the time, maybe it’s a faulty tablet?

As the option suggests, if you set the export to original/optimised FCPX will use one of those two sources to export. If you only created proxies and didn’t create any optimised media then the original source media is being used. If you did create optimised media then delete the optimised media to force FCPX to use the original source.

I find that Final Cut’s frame rate conversion isn’t all that great. I’m not sitting at my Mac to check if it can just do a 30p to 24p conversion but try running a couple of clips through the standards conversion section of JES Deinterlacer.
The output from that app has gotten footage past some very stringent network QA guys when FCPX and other converters have failed.
