[Walter Soyka] ” but would you subscribe to FCP X if that’s the only way it were made available?”

Yes. It’s simply the superior editor out there. If I had to subscribe to Avid, Adobe or Apple FCPX, give me X every time. My humble opinion only.

But Herb, will this write your script and make you a cup of coffee? If not, no use in using it, right? 😉

Just bought it and sent a simple project over to Motion. Very cool.

[Robin S. Kurz] “I can only concur: MC in X definitely rocks in comparison to any other MC I have used.”

I have to agree. These were hour to an hour and 30 minute long three-camera shoots and it worked very well and saved my sanity. One more question. My camera three was roving and did not have a board audio feed. His camera mic picked up sound but levels were all over, depending on where he was. On my last presentation, his camera would not sync and I had to add an angle and do it manually. Is there a way to force X to look at the code versus waveform for sync? I saw that there was a starting timecode in the dialogue box. If I uncheck audio for sync, will X automatically look at timecode on the three angles? Thanks in advance.

Eh, it’s like I used to tell clients in the edit suite (before color correction). The would ask “which monitor should I look at?” and I would answer “which one do you like?”.

Thanks Noah –

Another question. This client I am working with also does interviews of about 20 minutes long with two cameras. We will then pick out the nicest sound bite and create a 60 second commercial. If I were to sync up these two cameras into a multi-cam clip, what is the best way (or is there a way) to go through the mc clip and kword collect or ‘favorite’ the best areas? Can I do this on a mc clip like any other and still keep the ability to switch angles if needed? Thanks in advance.

Thank you! Having nothing to compare to (or be biased by), this works really well.

One more newb question: can you add an angle after the fact?
