I took peter advice and upgraded to OSX 10.8, got rid of the bug.

For those of you who might be afraid of Mountain Lion (like me), its seems to be stable with CS6 cloud, FCS3 and FCPX on a clean install.

I have no idea if the bug with 10.7 can be fixed.

Same problem with Resolve 9 Beta 3 and 10.7.4

Actually there should be a way to easily obtain a “collapsed” XML from a PP CS6 Multicam XML, as all the needed information is already there and -almost- correctly ordered. Each muticam sequence <clipitem> points to a <sequence> wich in turns points to another <clipitem> which then point to the correct <file>, but it seems that no XML reading application is able to decypher this nested hierarchy. The first <clipitem> does not have the correct <masterclipid>, <name> and <duration> but those are found either in the second <clipitem> or in the subsequent <file>. So again everything is there, just written in the wrong way.

I was able to turn a very simple (3 camera angles, 6 edits, no audio) multicam XML into a “collapsed” XML by manually copying, pasting, moving and erasing values from the XML. So it works but it’s obviously impossible to use for a real world project. Re-editing again as Ryan did would be hundreds of time faster than manually editing an XML file.

There is probably a way to make it automatic but this is way beyond my knowledge.

+T for the bug, reviews just re surfaced right after I posted. Ok maybe we’re all a little bit nervous 😀

Reviews (not ratings) removed from the french app store a few hours ago too.

I’m afraid the support for FCP 7 was most probably dropped the second FCP X went online.

Hi bob, and thanks for the very honest answer.

Let’s clarify a few things :

First, my use of the word “freelance” was maybe a bit wrong, my exact status will be something in between the UK/US definition of the freelance and creating my own small -one person- company (it’s some kind of special french status). I can’t get into details as I know french system might be different from others, but I’ll have around 12 k€ coming from the contract break with my employer as a “bonus” for creating my company when I’ll start in september.

I already have the clients in some way, well in fact I already have most of my clients and income for the two years to come, and the bulk of it will come from my ex employer. And honestly their monitoring stuff sucks heavily (it was just an old 1280×720 32″ consumer lcd connected to my MBP via DVI output, only good enough for basic editing). And again, and this is were I think the term “freelancer” was wrong, I’m gonna work for the most part at home, for clients that do not have any editing room at all. They give me the footage, I give them a finished product. I know this could looks very weird and unorthodox, but my status will be very more like a one person company.

And last, I already have the 4-5 k€ that I think I could spend on a monitoring solution. I’m not some kind of super rich guy, I just spent very few money this year.

BUT I keep in mind your wise advices, I’ll think twice or more about all of this and I won’t buy anything if it’s unnecessary.

Regarding the AJA IO Ex, I thought it was going on the track of Matrox and their MXO2 / MXO2 mini with conversion capabilities on the outputs. Thanks for the information.
