What sort of footage are you typically working with? i.e. is it 1080p H.264 from DSLRs or is it 4K RED RAW? Those details make a critical difference in the sort of system and storage you’d need in order to achieve optimal performance with FCPX.

July 30, 2014 at 6:23 pm in reply to: Disadvantages of not using a shared media server in busy multi-editor environmentTime and money- simple as that. If you can afford good shared storage between more than one editor it will only increase workflow efficiency and productivity. If there’s a disadvantage per se it’d be the increase in costs of gear and potentially IT support. But I’d guess your increase in output vs. billable hours would greatly offset those costs in most scenarios.

If you have both Libraries open you can drag the Smart Collection(s) and then the media itself from one Event to another. Or you could export Event XML from one Event and import it into another.

You’d need to re0stabilize those shots directly in X. Anything you did in 7 would be ignored. That said, not every shot is stabilizable- without seeing an example. One thing you can always try is to cut the especially jumpy shots into pieces and stabilize by piece. Just keep in mind you’d have to export each piece as its own discrete clip, not just blade it up in the timeline.

You can see clips that are used in a project within the Event Browser. More details here:

July 18, 2014 at 8:42 pm in reply to: Changing master audio file after editing, in multicamera edit FCPX?If the audio that you want to use is present in the multiangle clip you can simply select all of the clips in the Project timeline and set them to the audio ‘angle’ you want to use. Before you do this- make a Project Snapshot just in case the results are not what you want. Select the project in your Library and Control-click to Duplicate as Snapshot. Then:
Select all clips that are multicamera cuts in the project.
Go to the inspector.
Click on the A udio tab.
You’ll see multiple angles of audio selected- as this represents the settings of all selected clips.
Click the checkboxes next to all of the audio angles so that they’re off/deselected- this will reset all of the audio edits you have selected (so make sure you’ve done the Project Snapshot first)
Then check the one audio angle you do want- i.e. the master wide angle audio. It will then become the audio used for every edit in the project.Hope that helps.

Sure thing- the MacBook Pro is pretty capable, especially with 16GB RAM. It’s a nice mobile complement to your main Mac Pro editing station.
