What format is your video in? RAM and processor power shouldn’t be an issue on your system. I’d say you’re external drive is the main issue. The FW (I assume its connected via FireWire) doesn’t support a high enough data rate to keep up with 9 simultaneous streams. That’s why it works just fine with only 4 cams. If your internal drive has enough free space, you could try moving the multiclip angles to your internal drive. Depending on what codec your using, that may or may not work.

Try exporting a clip that you have a sync issue with, but don’t resync it. Just import it, then export it.
What version of FCP are you using by the way?

[Dino Sanacory] “this is a render issue.”
Render file are primarily for preview. They serve serve 3 purposes:
1. To provide a full quality real time playback for preview purposes
2. To provide a full quality real time playback for print or edit to tape
3. They are used when exporting a QuickTime movie with current settingsYou can export a sequence without ever rendering it. The only time it will make a difference is when you go to Export > QuickTime Movie and choose current settings. If your sequence is rendered, this process goes very fast. If not, then FCP will have to render the sequence. If you export through Compressor or using QuickTime Conversion, the render files are completely ignored, whether you have rendered or not.
I doubt this is a render issue. Especially when natively supported media (such as DV) is played. More likely a configuration issue.

I think you mean export, not play out.
When you are ready to export, you need to be sure that what you want to export is selected. If you want to export a sequence, be sure the sequence is open and the respective timeline is selected. If your viewer or an item in your browser is selected, that is what will be exported, not the sequence you want.

Double check that your audio and video playback devices are the same. Go to View > Audio Playback. Bu sure Audio Follows Video is checked. If you use any type of video playback device the audio must be routed to the same device in order to keep sync. I use a Matrox MXO. If I have my video playback set to the MXO, and audio playback set to built in audio, it is always out of sync. When both audio and video are sent through the MXO everything is just fine.
If the media plays just fine in other apps besides FCP, then this or some other hardware issue is likely what is causing your problems.

Try this:
Export using QuickTime Conversion (Under File > Export)
Set Format to QuickTime Movie (default setting)
Click the Options button next to the Format setting
Under Video, click Settings, then select your compression format. You’ll need to look into the software you are using for playback to see what it will support. If you will be using QuickTime, then you might try the H.264 codec. Then change the Quality setting to Best. Click OK.
Under Video, click Size. Under the Dimensions drop down click Custom, then enter the dimensions just to the right. Click OK.
If you need sound, then you can adjust those settings by clicking Settings under the Sound heading. If you don’t need sound, uncheck the box.
Uncheck Prepare for Internet Streaming.
Click OK.
Select your save location, give the file a title, then click Save. You should be good to go now.

Set VCR(HDV/DV) to DV and set A/V – DV Out to On. Also, try using the FireWire NTSC device control preset (not FireWire NTSC Basic).

I would not have digitized the entire tape as a single clip. It saves time on the front end, but later its a pain. I would have logged each shot or series of shots in one location as a single clip. After a tape is logged, perform a batch capture, then you don’t have to worry about how to label multiple shots/locations in one larger clip. I would have labeled each clip something like this:
Tape#_Location_description of shot_shot#
If knowing what tape they came from isn’t needed, then I’d leave off the tape #.

The JVCHD110 does not record in 1080i. Your choices are either 720p or 480i. I would imagine its not working properly because you are trying to capture it at 1080i60.
If you shot at 720p, then you need to select an easy setup that matches the resolution and frame rate.
If you shot at 480i, then you will probably use the DV-NTSC setup.
It is extremely important to be sure your capture settings match the format you shot in, otherwise it won’t work.
In response to Toby’s post, FCP can capture using the Clip, Now, or Batch options if you are capturing natively to HDV. If you transcode to ProRes or AIC on capture, then Capture Now is the only option.

1. First, unlink the video and audio using cmd-L. If your audio is set as a stereo pair, then you will need to unlink that using opt-L. After deleting the desired audio track, if you want you can then relink the audio and video by selecting both pieces then hit cmd-L.
2. shift-Z
3. I don’t think so. I typically don’t use subclips. There might be someone else who would know more about this one.
4. control-L
5. Are you referring to the Trim Edit command using cmd-7? If so, just click anywhere in the timeline. Changing tools doesn’t have an effect.
