No, I didn’t. The music was fine though.

If they were giving editing Oscar for saving bad footage it’d be a different story. There are many very weird cuts throughout the whole film which can only be explained as fixes to cover staging/continuity mistakes. All cuts to detail feel like they were shot in different set than the scene they are inserted into, which they probably are. So it is clearly another case of “We can’t judge the editor because we have no idea how bad the footage was.” We can however make a wild guess: usually when the story is bad and too short for a feature and both antagonist and protagonist are complete jerks the chance of blocking and staging errors for some reason increases.

OK, Whiplash’s got an Oscar so apparently some people thinks it’s competent job. But do you feel like this too?

I don’t feel that way. There are always a couple of badly cut movies every year but overall it’s great. I mean the level of the craft today is very high. You may get different impression if you run into something amateurish like Whiplash and then some mess by Michael Bay but if you watch a dozen current movies in a row you’d feel most of them are pretty well done. And performances today are amazing.

Bill, please calm down. I said this is the solution as soon as you posted it.

[Bill Davis] “Sort by name and what are you left with? ABC 0001A (the audio file) and ABC 0001B (the video file) adjacent to each other in the list view and ready to make a Synchronized File out of. “
That will do the trick.
[Bill Davis] “And I certainly don’t see how it’s possible for it to be easier to sort out a big naming mess using a system that does NOT have a robust re-naming process and a functional database – compared to a system that does.
“Sorry, what you don’t see is that the contention is not about the underlying database but about the actual pieces of GUI on top of it.

[Charlie Austin] “If, as you said earlier, “…the best sorting order is Date Created.” in 7, why wouldn’t that work in X”
Because in 7 my picture is on the timeline and my sound is in the bin. Two separate lists. In X they are in the same lists named according to different conventions and with different creation dates, because even if the clock on all devices was set to the same date and time, ARRIRAW or something recorded in RAW on Odyssey has to be transcoded for X and so will have another creation date.
[Charlie Austin] “are you not being provided with sound reports?”
Look, it is not about syncing a couple of takes. It’s about hundreds and thousands. I’m provided with sound reports most of the time but usually I need to check it just at the beginning of the session. Then it is just a conveyor belt.

[Charlie Austin] “If the clips have random names I guess they would be.”
The names aren’t random. They are the names the recording device gave the footage. Like AA019701_140727_0121_0000000.rmf or A001_C014_0306YU.0000000F.R3D or REEL012_SCENE080_1_camA_TAKE_006_0189238.dpx and 024001.WAV.

It is different. I use keyboard and go down the timeline and down the list of clips. You use mouse and zigzag all over the place.
[Charlie Austin] “Sort A/V in Browser in whatever order works.”
The only order that works, ie. reliably interleaves picture and sound in the list is TC Start provided there is matching timecode. But in this case the point is moot. Date created won’t match with any picture codec FCPX doesn’t support natively. Basically picture and sound are always miles apart in the list.

I’m on 10.9.5. Cinema Tools launches fine. Tried to load a database but since the first I found was from 2001 it gave me a bunch of errors.
