fortunately it is!
“Fixes a situation where if you edited a freeze frame as the first shot of a sequence, then edited in a second shot after the freeze frame, the sequence name would change to match the second shot.”

after you cut all the clips into the new PAL timeline,
select all,
and option – apple v to “remove attributes”
scale and distort should be checked,
hit ok.the other problem you may well encounter is there may be tiny 1fr gaps between the clips.
but maybe this only happens when you copy/paste from a PAL timeline into an NTSC one.nick

in your user prefs,
change the number of real time audio tracks.
it may still be on the factory default of 8, which is just ridiculous in this day and age.nick

oh, triptych isn’t that period specific.
but maybe i’m at an advantage.
one of Australias most famous paintings is a triptych:

go to the 3rd small pulldown menu at the top of the canvas,
make sure “Show Overlays” is switched on.nick

“Is this something that is in FCP 3?”
unfortunately, no.
you either have to re-organise everything on the new drive,
and then spend time re-connecting everything,or just copy all your media across manually,
but that wont trim it for you,
AND you’d have to do a fair bit of re-connecting anyway.nick

no reason we cant use “painting” words
triptych is much more expressive of the effect than “split screen”
i’d consider “Split screen” to be a bit under-parr to describe the effect in the video above.if the effect is not much more than a simple repo that can be applied to every shot,
then yeah, copy & paste attributes is fine.if you need to repo the shots within the frame, then that gets a little harder,
but basic principle of three tracks of video is the same.you may have to lock the other tracks when you go to speed mod a clip.

the crumple-pop plugin has some problems for me,
one is it’s based on pre-set shapes,
the other is a much bigger problem for me.
all the clips live inside one holder clip.i imagine this would make it pretty hard to EDIT the clips.
when you’re lining up a split screen, you really want to be able to control how the clips interact.

for doing motion effects, i find working in the canvas to be much more intuitive.
make sure you turn on the “Image & Wireframe” mode in the canvas.
you find that under the third small pulldown menu at the top of the canvas. (And viewer)motion tab is great for fine-tuning the parameters.
for the sort of thing you are doing, though i’d also highly recommend Digital Heaven’s “BOX” filter.
this will let you crete your triptych frames, and then be able to control the framing of the shots within those frames.cheers,
