That did the trick. Thanks! Seems like an odd feature to add. I THINK I can understand why they make it like that. But not quite sure.

Thanks Atiio. Your suggestion to use the “reference a new parent clip” then cycle through auditions is exactly what I started to do. That accomplishes what I need.

On further review, looks like you can “duplicate from original” under the Audition action in the “Clips” menu. But it doesn’t look like doing that creates another compound clip in the event browser.

10.06 is the first version of FCPX I’ve used. But you’re exactly right. I did use compound clips. The whole project is comprised of compound clips. That would explain why one of the changes I made outside of the compound clips didn’t duplicate. Huh, kind of wished I got to that part of the Ripple Training tutorial before make the dupe. But that’s good to know.

So, then I assume if I want to dupe a project comprised of compound clips, I need to duplicate all the clips first? Seems sorta dumb and a lot of extra work, especially if you have a long project. I guess I can see the benefit if you wanted to re-use a compound clip.

Any ideas on how to dupe a project w/o having to dupe all the compound clips first?

Thanks for the reply Craig. I sent the video through Compressor again and this time it worked. Go figure.

I don’t think my iMac is a Quad core. I got it August 2010.

Hi,

This problem was solved for me on Creative Cow. I don’t know if this is your same solution, but this was what happened with me:

I was having the same problem you described. Exactly! (drifting getting worse as the clip progressed, etc.) It turns out the problem was that when I transcoded the 24p footage (shot on a DSLR) in mpeg stream clip, I manually set as the frames per second to exactly 23.98. I did this b/c in FCP, that is the short-hand used for 24p footage. However, the footage is really 23.976. Even in FCP, it really is 23.976, despite the fact that is says 23.98 all throughout.

The problem is this: if you drop footage into FCP that is at a frame rate that is not recognized by FCP (e.g. 23.98 vs. 23.976), you get the drift.

I solved the problem by leaving the fps field in mpeg streamclip blank. By doing that, mpeg streamclip will transcode the footage at the source material frame rate, which is actually 23.976.

You didn’t mention that you were transcoding, so my guess is that the 30 fps footage is exactly 30 fps. I think (but I’m not 100% sure) that exactly 30 fps (vs. 29.97) is not recognized by FCP. I wonder if you transcoded the footage to 29.97 if that would solve your problem?

Hey John,

Thanks for the reply. As I wrote in the original post, it’s definitely DVCProHD. I didn’t think there was a DVCProHD 50 (I normally edit HD DSLR footage). But the guy at my church who gave me the footage called it DVCProHD 50. As quickly as technology changes, I just figured it was some kind of special in-between format they were using.

I’ll edit on the original footage and see how it goes.

Just for purposes of education and enlightenment though, what about my question of the different aspect ratios. If I did want to transcode to Proxy, would I just go with the original transcoded footage at 1280×1080?

Thanks for the quick reply Shane. I should have clarified. It’s actually DVCProHD 50. The data rate (when opened in QuickTime) is over 110 mbits/sec.

I know I could edit natively with DVCProHD, but I thought editing might go faster if I offline it in Proxy. I’m editing on a 2.66 Ghz intel core i5 iMac.
