No, just specific projects via XML.

Proxy media is a low resolution copy of footage that you use to edit with before returning to the full resolution version for final output. Whether you need to use proxy media or not depends entirely on the capacity of your edit system. For example, my desktop can edit five or six streams of 4k ProRes before it would slow down enough that I’d have to resort to using proxies.

You can absolutely edit both 4k and 1080p in one timeline but obviously, you have to choose between having a 1080p timeline and shrinking the 4k image or having a 4k timeline and blowing up the 1080p image, the former being the preference as you don’t want to be losing image quality by blowing it up to twice it’s size in every shot.

Brilliant! Thanks for the info. I’ll check out the use manual now I know what I’m looking for.

I know you said you checked, but Spatial Conform is usually the culprit when something like that happens. Do the clip and timeline resolutions match?

You can trigger anything at the end of a render so I just set up a quick automator action to send me an alert on my iPhone when the render was done but you could just make it play a sound, or anything else you’d like. Haven’t used it in a while but if I can find it, I’ll post it.

Blading and applying corrections to each section should work. I do it all the time. I’m trying to think of a circumstance where it would be applied globally and I can’t really think of anything in the timeline that would do that. Sorry, not much help I know, but it should be working for you.

It feels way snappier on my 2013 Mac Pro but that computer doesn’t have any specific hardware support for decoding h264 so there’s probably no improvement to be had for a format like XAVC on that machine.

You mean convert from managed (in the library) to unmanaged (stored in the finder) media? Just change the storage location in the library properties to be a folder you created somewhere else. Once you’ve changed the storage location, click on consolidate and you’re media will be moved to the.new location. It will have the same folder structure In the finder as it would in the bundle.

Going forward to avoid using the library bundle, when you create a new library, set the storage locations to be a finder folder rather than internal and if you want to organise the media in the finder yourself, when you import, choose ‘leave in place’.

[Robin S. Kurz] “I’ve edited cDNG sequences many times over in both FCP and Motion.”
Have I missed something? Last time I tried, you had to do a whole lot of messing around because FCPX saw the cDNG folder as individual still frames rather than as a single video clip like other NLEs would, which made it a miserable experience. I couldn’t figure out any other way to make it work but I’m always happy to learn…

So what was I doing wrong? How do I get FCPX to recognise the cDNG folder as a video file? Or has this come in an update and I haven’t noticed?

Yes, but I only have to generate the clip once, then reuse it whenever I need. I generated the master clip using Resolve because, well, why not? Resolve’s a pretty handy tool to have around and it took less time to just generate the clip in that than trawling through the internet trying to find a plugin or something for FCPX, especially when I need 25p and most of the plugins are based on some other frame rate.

I’ve thought about making a Motion generator but so far sheer laziness has kept that from happening. ☺
