You don’t EVER want to store any of your media on your startup drive. Ever. External drives are fine – I’d recommend Firewire 800 or faster. How are your externals connected?

You CAN adjust each angle individually. You hold down CNTL-SHIFT and then drag your mouse (horizontally) across the clip (in the multi-viewer) you want to resync. It should display the new relative time offset. It’s in the manual. Hope that helps.

Did you render the sequence? if so, that would explain it all. Once a multiclip seq. is rendered, you no longer get all your angles in the viewer while it’s playing in the canvas.

By “scratch disk”, I assume you mean your Scratch Folder, since you say you only have one drive. Once you delete your Scratch Folder files, they’re gone and to keep editing, you’ll have to reload the clips (from tape or P2 or whatever). There won’t be anything left to “render out”. Follow me?
But you NEVER want to use your system drive as your scratch disk. Hard drives are SO cheap, if you’re going to edit seriously, you need to buy one. Firewire or faster. Now. Really.

Are you doing Audio Mixdowns (OPT-CMD-R) after each of these changes?

Install FCS3 and your MacOS’s Software Update should find all the updates. Be sure to repair permissions after everything is loaded. Hope that helps.

Yeah, it’s always a good idea to get your different angles matched as closely as you can before you make the multiclip. Then it’s just a matter of tweaking the occasional slightly-off clip within the multiclip sequence.
But you’ve probably already figured that out, huh?

The files were copied to the PC drive…what format is that drive? A 2GB “limit” sounds very much like the FAT32 formatting problem that comes up on this forum every other day. Just a thought.

Try this: with the Viewer set for Open sync, click in (select) the timeline, THEN hit play. Does that work?
