The original file does. I also have a duplicate (converted to aiff) without tc.
No difference. -
Click on the g raid in the Finder and then press command-I (get info)
It will tell you how its formatted in the Get Info window.
If it’s not HFS+ (Mac OS Extended), you would need to re format it. Unfortunately, this means copying all the data to another drive and erasing it. You do that using Disk Utility located in your Utilities Folder.
Unlike previous versions of FCP, your drive must be MAC Formatted to use it with FCPX.
G-Raids usually come Mac Formatted, however, someone could have reformatted it before it got in your hands.

Support for the letter G was dropped in this version. The programmers couldn’t be expected to support all 26 letters of the alphabet in V.1 of this software.
No.. Seriously ….. Your drive must be formatted HFS+ aka MacOS Extended.
It can’t be NTFS or FAT 32.

don’t use Meridien for HD.
Use Avid 1:1x if you want uncompressed.

It’s not just for FCPX. It was recommended to me by BMD to solve some issues in premiere.
Not this one, though.

Good to know. My testing seems to concur.
Always happens with Adobe (thanks to XMP apparently)
intermittent with other apps including FCP 7. -
Craig,
Do you consider providing the editor the most basic info…the timecode of the edits he is making…. a feature??
I consider it an essential foundational element. Even primitive NLE’S of the 1990’s did that.How low do you want to set the bar? I’m all for giving it a fair shake, but come on?

Thanks for saying it better than I did Michael.
I think there really is a baseline to what is acceptable for an editing application being marketed to professionals, or even semi professionals.
If my linkage gets hopelessly messed up in other NLE’s, worst case scenario, I can still recapture or re-import and precisely re-edit…but in FCPX, you cannot see your source timecode from the edited clips in the timeline. Of course, there is no EDL or XML either…so your edit only exists in your own memory. Luckily, in this case, it was only half a dozen clips. I could easily envision a much worse scenario.
-
Yeah…other folks set me straight already on how to save s still….
The larger point was that there may be danger in opening the media files you are using in FCPX in other programs, such as AE, FCP 7, Premiere, etc…
There are lots of reasons why one might do that….

Honestly, multi clip was designed for continuous recording. Any solution you can come up with to work around it will chew up more time and disk space than its worth. Since there are only two cameras, I would just cut it the old fashioned way without trying to make a multi clip. Just use layers, as you set up in your screen shot and blade when needed.
