Have you tried reconnecting to the new clips?

Here’s a place to start deciding if your use is okay:

I think the reason few use the manuals is folks feel they have to read from cover to cover.

I think a good strategy is to read the table of contents, read the topic paragraph for each chapter. Then get in the app, use it a while, then start pulling down the menus, and look up things you don’t understand in the manual using the index.

You can also read online the basic topic of digital video. For example, there is an entry in Wikipedia called Comparison of Video Codecs.

My basic suggestion is: when you run into something you don’t know, let that trigger your creative, curious mind to learn about it. If the source you are trying to learn from confuses you, find another simpler source that explains at the level that helps you.

Another useful method: once you are comfortable with an app, find a super user and give them $50 to sit with you for an hour and give you their perspective. In the manual, all options are treated equally. With an experienced user, you will gain value judgements.

You can have even more fun by composing original music in Garage Band and using that.

Then if the music is really good, you might make money selling it at Itunes some day.

Are your flex file records broken down by shots or by camera rolls?

When you sync the audio, are the results individual merged clips for individual shots?

When I made a quick test, it seemed that Aux1 timecode did carry over to the new project. However, I might not be following that same procedure.

If you need to look this up in the user manual, it is called sub-frame editing.

There is a programming environment within Final Cut to do this called Fxscript.

Here’s one link on that subject:

There’s a tool from Spherico that might work for you. I haven’t used it, but here’s the link and description:

TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple and fast when juggling with subtitles.

If you ever wished to get your titles out of Final Cut Pro into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), as text file for a translation bureau, get titles into Final Cut Pro from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT movie with all your Final Cut Pro subtitles without the need of rendering or just “equalize” your Final Cut Pro titles TitleExchange will be your “one stop” tool.

If you have FCS then you have a license for Quicktime Pro.
