Thank you very much for your reply!

The final deliverable is 24fps 1080p.
In fcpx I had some minor frame rate problems, also repeating crazy frames, but I could solve those.
I thought to put my AE comp frame rate at 25fps, and then later change it to 24 in fcpx, but whatever comp framerate I use in AE, it keeps flipping.
I guess it’s maybe because it’s 25i and 50p, so interlaced and progressive together might be the problem?
Maybe the problems lies in that AE only opens fragments of entire clips, because of the script?
The 12,5 fps is what AE says the clip is, but that’s not true, it is 25i.

Sorry for my confusion, I’ve indeed lack of experience, I’m only working in AE for a year, and not that much!

Thank you so much!

Ps. I know FCPX has a build in feature to sync audio, but to di it for thousand clips it is a bit labour intensive, hence I’d like to use PluralEyes.
But do you perhaps know what the error message tells me? I can’t find it on the internet.
Danke Schön!

Dear Robin,

Thank you very much for your good advice.
You’re totally right we don’t need an all in one program, but at least we need a very easy workaround between different programs.
Like Logic, FCPX and Motion should be able to work together as the Adobe package.
But it’s a shame and a pity that it’s hard or impossible to even roundtrip between fcpx and Motion.

I have a car chase scène where I need to add muzzle flashes, explosions with tracking,… I need to go from FCPX to Motion, and back with keeping different clips, for later on color correction.

First when you told about Motion I was a bit sceptic, because I love to work with AE, but you’re right Motion isn’t that bad after all, au contraire.
I checked it out, but to my biggest surprise, it’s impossible to roundtrip between FCPX and Motion.
There is no send to motion button in FCPX as there was in FCP7. So to work with AE and Motion, would be pretty much the same, I fear :-s

So now I’ll try this: https://finalcutprox.net/blog/fcpx-send-to-motion-0.9.3.zip and hope it’ll work.

Kind regards,

Thank you very much everyone!
It has to be After Effects, I like it way more then Motion, Motion doesn’t seem to have a lot of advantages.
I guess I’ll do it the way with ClipExporter, or just export the entire video file and open it that way in After Effects, otherwise I’ll loose some greenscreen effects.
First I didn’t know how to open the Java script, but now found it, thanks!

Then I’ll just render everything in After Effects and open it again in Final Cut Pro X, and then to do the color correction or extra editing, I’ll break appart the clip items manually :-s

Now I’ll start to understand the Premiere vs FCPX fight, Premiere is better compatible in the Adobe monopoly but it’s just that FCPX is better than Premiere I think….

It’s a pity you need to go to so many different softwares to get what you want to: FCPX, After Effects, PluralEyes, Davinci, Protools or Logic Pro X, and many more.
Is this too how the film industrie works?
When will there be an all in one? We need this!

Anyone tips or have knowledge with PluralEyes?

I’m editing a feature film, two cameras and a zoom H6:
– 25fps 1080i
– 50fps 1080p
– Zoom H6 with built in stereo mic and extra mic

After making a project, editing in the timeline, I exported the XML files, started PE, opened new project from FCPX.
Then I get the following message: Import failed: Found both audio and video clips in a single lane.

Is there anyone out there who had/has the same problem, or who knows the solution?
Or do I have a bad workflow? I tried to synchronize everything first, but then PluralEyes was angry with me because I had two different frame rates.

Dear Dan,

Thank you so much for you help, I didn’t know it was possible!
Just one more question, it’s maybe stupid, but how can you apply the same expression to all the 338 bees?
I’ve done it on the first five ones, and the effect is just what I was looking for. I’m just wondering if it is possible to apply the expression on all, instead of doing one by one.
Now the bees are buzzing a little bit around which is already great, but how can I change the parameters to make them buzz around the entire screen?
Thank you so much, you’ve been really helpful!
Bless you!

Greets,

Susan
