I always sync my multicams using plural eyes.
Now that it is a stand alone program, it’s very very reliable.
FCPX generated multicams never seem to work properly for me,
maybe it’s my lack of patience for something that I know it will be easier to do with PE3.And yes, I feel my 10.0.8 version is way more “crashy” as well.

So, did you find an answer?
The same thing happened to me TWICE over the same project,
and I’m pretty experienced to know it wasn’t my fault.Here’s a link to my topic:
https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/344/21006When I tried to relink it gave me the notice that “files were modified” so they couldn’t be relinked.
What actually worked for me was importing the same media again and then the files were automatically reconnected.

I guess you’re right Bill,
I really like X and have been using it since it’s launch,
but this really got me scared.
The clips were right there and it should be easy for FCPX to see them and reconnect.
Anyways…all is good now and the video is almost done.
Hope u guys had a chance to see the first cut I posted.Thanks a lot for ur inputs and thoughts.

Here it goes:
[Bill Davis] “So you did some kind of “clip conform” (which, BTW, might have been largely unnecessary in X) to output them as NEW clips. What type of clips were those? Still H264 100mbps DSLR encodes? Did you transcode to ProRes? WHAT did you save them out as?”
Yeah, I did the conforming and exporting because I wanted to have clips all synced to the music and we shot in diferent speeds on camera. As I wanted to do the multicam clip to edit easier I figured out that exporting ProRes clips and creating proxys would be the only/best way of editing the multicam without lagging.
I didn’t try to do a multicam with the original conformed clips tho.[Bill Davis] “And then it sounds like you’ve re-imported the same footage a second time.
Fine, now you have all new clips. But linked to which Event? The original one? A new one? It’s important to know.”
Right again, reimported them into the same event – they are new clips so I figured it wouldn’t make a difference. Created a Multicam clip with the 12 of them and did a proxy of the MC clip to edit.So, editing with the proxys was great, I did the first cut I posted in the link etc… all good.
Then came the “oops” part.
But what I can’t understand is why would FCPX put all the clips in the trashbin. Thats a NO/NO for me.What happened was that all my clips were offline and the MC clip was still on the Event, but blacked out.
I could see the cuts and the take names I used tho, so what I did was reimport the ProRes clips, make a new MC clip, put on top of the first one on the Event and go cut by cut checking which take I had used and clicking on it on the new MC clip (did it make sense now?).Now it’s all fine, I am kinda back where I was before all this started on the editing/finishing, but I got really scared because it was a simple problem (an offline drive – can happen pretty easily) and FCPX couldn’t handle it.
On FCP Legacy or even Premiere Pro this would be a no brainer to solve (I reckon).Thanks for your attention!

Hey there guys,
this might be a little late, but I was having the same problem in an authoring I am doing here.
So, after days of searching and trying what worked for me was this:
deleting all the subtitles (I have 3 languages), changing their names to the simplest as possible (English.txt and so on…) and adding them again.
Worked perfectly.
I don’t know why it was happening or anything but I’m glad it worked as I was getting REALLY tired of
this problem. It’s only my second authoring in Encore, I used to be a diehard StudioPro user and although
Encore CS6 is way better I was just considering going back to the basics.I am running CS6 in a Retina Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.
If anyone has problems like this and need a hand let me know, ok?

Txs a lot for the reply Jerry.
For now I will be running FCP 6.0.6 in both machines, so I guess I wont be having much of that problem.
The only problem now is how to convert the EX3 codec to ProRes.
Should I get a capture card or do it by software?
I was just having a look at AJA web page and KiPro really looks amazing.
Although it’s a bit out of my budget for now it’s surely on my plans for the future.
What about not converting and mixing the EX3 codec and ProRes in the same timeline?
(I personally don’t like that, but one never knows…)Txs again for the help and I will keep searching for the “perfect set up” lol

Is that so?
Wasn’t aware…Well, what you think about AIC?
I converted to ProRes too but it gave me a huge file,
as long as I have to do this I think it’s better to convert them to small ones right?
It’s only for “off-line” anyway.
AIC gave me a good size.Original Animation file 460mb
AIC 50mb
H264 11mb
Jpeg100 160mb
ProRes 130mbWill try the DV now.
Cheers man!Lucas Barros

Well,
I converted one file as a test to various formats,
the best option I think will be work in H264 and then do the substitution.
I really hope it will work.I’ll keep this thread posted with the follow up.
Txs for the help Rafael.
Cheers
