Just wanted to add that After Effects has a different default gamma curve than FCP. Movies exported from AE will appear darker when brought back into FCP, unless you go into the AE Project Settings and click the option boxes for Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma and Match Legacy. This might have been fixed since CS3, which I’m still using. If it has someone please let me know, but I know this drove me crazy for a few days once upon a time.

Hi Michael,
I’m not sure how the timecode was sent to the cameras, I was provided the data from multiple P2 cards on a hard drive.
When you say reference do you mean reference audio? Two of the cameras did have native camera sound turned on, the third (which was actually the master shot) did not have any audio. Audio was recorded as timecoded .WAV files to a CF card that I was also given. I had gone through and Merged these .WAV files with the silent master footage before attempting to make the multiclip. I left the other two clips alone with their crummy (but built-in) audio.
It sounds like this might account for two of the cameras being in synch some of the time when the third one isn’t. All three cameras were shot 24 NDF, so I don’t think it’s a framerate thing, and setting the inpoint at the exact same timecode (I’m not using a visual reference) on each clip produces a perfect multiclip… is it maybe because each clip isn’t starting at the exact same timecode? They’re each off by a few seconds, but I would think using the timecode to align them would completely ignore when they actually started and just fill in black for the clips that started later.

Firefox has add-ons that can do this. FastVideoDownload and GreaseMonkey I’ve used with success. You’ll still need to convert the .flv. For that I use Wondershare YouTube Downloader.

You might want to look into a plug-in called PluralEyes (https://www.singularsoftware.com/pluraleyes.html)
I personally haven’t used it yet, but I’ve heard good things.
Just make sure the in-camera microphones are turned on, and PluralEyes will synch the audio spikes from the rough audio with the clean files in your editing program (or so I’ve been told)
Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your help and information. Unfortunately I can’t provide a link for you to see it with your own eyes as the site hasn’t officially launched yet.
I’m going to be working with the web designer next week on some things and this is a big one on our to-do list, I think we’ll be able to find the solution with all of this new information. Thanks again!
