Good tip. Thanks! I still wish there were a way to create Camera Archives from folders. It would be an easy way to keep files “semi-online” for quick use without mucking up the interface with a million projects or whatever. Maybe I’m looking for a distinction where there isn’t a difference?

Thanks for the reply, Mark. I guess I was hoping for a way to “Clipwrap” my footage right into a camera archive or even to create a camera archive from a folder of QT files.

I’d gotten in the habit of copying my CF cards to my drives first, but since the need to be transcoded for FCP X to see them, I now wind up with the CF files, the transcoded files, and the plain old QT files in the events folder.

Also, if I’m not mistaken, doesn’t Clipwrap strip away some of the original metadata?

Oh well, maybe someday FCP X will be able to ingest directly – like by embedding something like Clipwrap in the “Create Archive” function.

Cool. Thanks. I hadn’t seen the earlier post.

Camera archived worked for P2. No luck with files from my z7u. Anyone else get these to work from an archive?

You can also enter an arbitrary TC (once you find a sync point) into the AUX TC field into both clips, and then use multiclip to lock them together. This does not change the original TC.

Also, you could skip that all together, mark common in points to each clip, and then use multiclip to sync them up.
