Great to see you there Bill. We were very happy with the turnout. Videos coming soon. In the meantime, you can see more details and some photos from the first FCP Exchange event over here:

Same version/OS? Do you have the Backups folder version of the project? The file itself sounds corrupted…

Why bring AFX into the mix? FCPX can do those tasks and save you generation loss and time.

Did the production supply you with any proxy formats? Just wondering whether you’re doing more work than you need to by bringing Resolve in so early and making proxies there. Also are they supplying you with a preferred LUT?
Either of your stated options would likely work but I’m guessing your sound editorial team will prefer to have access to the original WAVs and not audio embedded in your ProRes files. So 2 would be the safer bet.

Well how are you going to edit in FCPX without synced audio? Resolve is at the end of the chain.

Yep I would go 1920×1080 as the master format….

Are you viewing at full quality in FCP? What do exports to ProRes look like? That it looks good in QT Player and bad in both 7 and 10 tells me you’re likely either previewing at lower res or your project/sequence settings do not match the footage. Post some stills….

Actually no you are effectively making a subclip. Keywords do not ripple back to original clips. Therefore when you delete the keyword you are deleting any additional information you have added to the subclip you made from the original. I’d suggest perhaps looking into a bit of workflow training or at least read:

and

FCPX does work incredibly well when used as its designed. But in certain workflows it will fight you if you don’t quite know what it’s looking for such as your case.

I’ve never seen editorial processing add strobing to lighting that isn’t already present in the original footage. Most likely I’d guess there was a change on the shutter settings of the camera itself which is directly responsible for whether you see strobing.
Strobing with lighting is essentially the camera shutter and the refresh rate of a specific light being out of phase with each other.
If you see something different in a specific timeline it’s also possible you’re not seeing every frame at playback depending on how you monitor. I’d go to the venue and take a careful look at camera settings and the lighting- I’d guess the LED strips are decorative and probably not camera-rated to be flicker free at all frame rates.
