Are you referring to 2 pictures, next to each other, in the frame?
Even if I could get my cameras side by side, like this, could I still choose which cameras to switch during editing?

That was one of the first things that I tried.
For some reason, when I delete other clips and extend the first one, other cameras (takes? trying to figure out the terminology of vegas) aren’t available in the preview windows or right-click – takes. Right-click – takes says m11x (first camera), (no camera), (no camera), etc…
If I don’t delete, I can choose different cameras. I’m not sure what the deal is.
Again, I assume that it has something to do with the way my clips are on the timeline.
I think all the breaks in my multicam track are where a clip starts.

I’m not sure how them not doing anything is creating more work for them. The more work would be them having to export the timeline.
It would be more work for me. I’ll agree with that. I just don’t think that exporting 100 hours worth of timelines is going to happen. That would be the best way to do it, certainly. If that’s the only option, though, the project will probably just go by the wayside.

I understand that exporting from fcp would be a much more effecient, in the long run, way of doing it. I’m just trying to see what options are available so that those macs and people don’t have to spend the time to do it.
I guess I could purchase a mac and software, connect it to that network, and do the export myself.

BTW…
I found this in adobe’s premiere cs4 manual.

Note: You can not import native Final Cut Pro project files, only XML files exported from Final Cut Pro. Also, you can not export Final Cut Pro XML files from Adobe Premiere Pro. -
Yes, a project is what I was referring to as a session.
I wasn’t aware that premiere could open a final cut project. I don’t mind doing the rendering. I was just trying to figure out a way that our mac guy doesn’t have to do more work. I like the idea of cross-platform collaboration.
Would this work…
Motion files into After Effects
FCP project into Premiere
Merge the two in Premiere
Export (link, render, or however it wants to work) into encore
Personally, I prefer Avid Xpress to to Premiere, but I would use it, if that’s what works
