Try highlighting the bin and use the “consolidate duplicates” command. That may work for you.

[Tony West] “And they did it without those collaboration tools.”

True, but it’s wasn’t a multi-editor team. Hence, no need for collaboration tools.

[Shane Ross] “And yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s flying off the e-bay shelves now. “I WANT AN OSCAR WINNING FILM! MUST HAS FCP 7!! Wait, what do you mean it won’t run on Mojave?””

Hey, if old video games can make a retro resurgence – why not old software?!
☺

But more seriously – tracks, schmacks – editors will cut with whatever software they are most comfortable with.

[Tim Wilson] “This is not by accident. It is by design. That’s why the further you get from a Hollywood-style workflow, the less suited Media Composer is to you. Nobody here seems to have any problem with that notion, so why so much angst about the same truth for FCPX applied in the same way?”

I think that’s a very key point in the ongoing arguments around FCPX. Apple made the decision to service/create a new and emerging market of content creators.

They were willing to move away from an existing market, because 8 years ago, that market was adequately services by others using the Mac platform. That was less secure when the original FCP was acquired by Apple.

In contrast, Avid has generally catered to an existing market. Adobe tends to have a foot in both camps. Blackmagic is taking a page from Apple’s playbook more so than from the others.

[Tim Wilson] “but the net net is that Avid has even MORE market share in Hollywood than before, and you’ve landed EXACTLY on some of the reasons why.”

One huge issue that keeps people in the Avid fold is that Avid has gone to great lengths to maintain forward and backward project compatibility. This is something no one else does. Of course, they aren’t always successful and naturally it can’t be perfect, because of OS changes.

Just this week I’ve had a client approach us about project updates on a job done 13 years ago in FCP “legacy”. I have a bazillion project files from that original job, but ugh! I don’t even have an active machine anymore that can open the files. Avid, OTOH,… You get the picture.

[Tim Wilson] “Script Sync is uniquely built for heavy lifting, and Media Composer is uniquely built for collaboration (again, the history of which I discuss above). “

Along with Steve Hullfish, I’ve probably interviewed more feature film editors than others and most are Media Composer users. When the question about ScriptSync comes up, it’s often a division based on working styles. Some would never want to be without it and others are just ‘meh’ as to whether or not it’s useful to them. I’ve spoken with some editors who admit to driving their assistants crazy prepping dailies for ScriptSync and then never really use it.

Like range-based selections and keywords in FCPX – some editors think it’s the greatest thing ever and others just don’t work that way and prefer to organize in the timeline.

LOL. It’s not like we haven’t all been there ☺

[Tangier Clarke] “I cannot relink the separately recorded audio in the multicam clips unless I move the audio in the Finder (Mac) from it’s original source and into the media storage folder where the video clips are.”

Is the drive location for these audio audio files included as a location within the storage pool. You have to set that in Resolve preferences.
