thank you for the response.
comforting it’s not me
disappointing that it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.

Thanks!

Brand new FCPX; not sure why it didn’t work but that fixed it. Can’t imagine how much more slowly the work would go without control d.

selecting clip in timeline – I usually just click on it.

it worked before I updated and now it doesn’t.

Thank you.

I am really not sure why purchasing separate software is necessary or even logical to do something that has clear instructions on how to do between two apple products. That just seems unreasonable or even a plain old scam.

I wish I had money to throw at these problems but I don’t. I can’t understand why they don’t work as they are supposed to – my versions are not that old. If this was a year or two ago, they would be brand new and having the exact same problem. What did people do way back then? Every single thing I have tried to do tonight has not worked, wasted time, not resulted in any learning or progress, and everything I looked up in “how-to” videos or instructions doesn’t produce the same results. I feel extremely frustrated and am on the verge of quitting both of these programs.

The latest problem is that exporting XML from LPX and importing to FCPX is consistently missing half the tracks. I have so had it. ????

Finally found a secret to unmute the tracks (not in the track list) but the tracks are all wrong.
What came into LPX was not what I edited in FCPX, but just the entire raw clips – or what I’ve deleted. I’ve done this a dozen different ways and am wasting all kinds of time getting nowhere. Not only can I not import the audio clips from the FCPX session into the music session I’ve got going in LPX, but I can’t even import it into its own session accurately.

There is so much info on “how-to” export and import (with some conflicting messages, some instructions that do not correspond to what I see when I follow them) and none of what I am finding and following are working, and I am feeling more and more confused and frustrated. This seems like a very simple thing to do, but yet it’s been a nightmare.

Does anyone export the audio tracks from FCPX into LPX for better editing and recording/adding music or is that just a stupid idea?

[Kyrina Bluerose]

Thanks, Jeff.
I’d like to do that, but until I can, I’ll have to keep trying to find a workaround on this one. ????

[Kyrina Bluerose]

thank you. Yes, I am using multicam clips in most of those projects. There were just way too many clips to work with to multicam them all, so it seemed to make logical sense to make a project with each group, and then make the final product using “highlight reel” from the others. I’m sure macprovideo will have tutorials about wrangling all the data, workflow, bins, etc. I’m still at the point I’m trying to make the program do what I want it to do, since I don’t yet best know how to work within the program!

Sorry, I don’t follow. Maybe it’s because I’m inexperienced or I just don’t know how to ask.

For the new music video, I made a project of B-roll using multicam editing with clips to pick out the best parts, color, effects, some cool transitions. I have a “C-roll” of similar but different, and a couple other projects. I’d like to somehow import those projects into my main project, (parallel, synch with audio) so I can pick and choose from them into the main timeline, without having to open, copy, close, open, paste.

So my question is – is there a multi-project editing process?

THANK YOU
