I’ve been in the habit of rewrapping our FS700 AVC using EditReady. This allows us to keep the files in place and no need to optimize. This workflow will use more disk space but it’s been worth it for us.

Hi Anne. It’s usually a good idea to backup both the FCPX application itself and your libraries before doing an upgrade like this, just in case. We leave our media in place (not stored within the library) so the library files are not very large. If it were me I’d back them up, but I’m paranoid. After you successfully update, open and confirm each library is good, you can delete the old library to regain some storage space. Maybe back each library up one at a time and do the update, then delete the old one if you don’t have enough space to do them all at once.
Here are good upgrade tips from the Ripple Training guys back when FCPX 10.4 first came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLclCCbaOV8

Not sure what you mean by drop zones in multicam clips. You can always adjust the tracks in a multicam clip to get the sync you want.

Has FCPX crashed recently? If so, you might try a simple test and reset FCPX preferences. Hold down command and option while launching FCPX and choose delete preferences. You’ll need to open your library and reconfigure preferences if you’ve made any changes.

When there are weird, inexplicable problems, two easy things to try are resetting preferences and deleting renders.
To delete preferences, hold down option and command when launching FCPX, then click Delete Preferences. You’ll need to redo any preference changes you’ve made.
If that doesn’t change the behavior, to delete render files, select the Library in the browser, then choose File->Delete Generated Library Files… and select Delete Render Files, All. FCPX will re-render anything it needs.

I think we’d need to see some detailed screenshots to help diagnose. Is all the footage from the same camera? If not, are all the frame sizes exactly the same?

Hi Kit,
I worked on a Zoom panel discussion a month or so ago and was surprised to find the video frame sizes all over the place. We did a trial run just to make sure things would work as expected but when we did the actual recording with a few different participants, the frame size was different. My guess is that the lowest quality camera on the call is what determines frame size.
I found that Zoom’s cloud recordings were even lower quality and smaller frame size. Also, if you rely on the cloud recordings, make sure to download and backup because Zoom deletes them after a period of time.
I had two people record the call (they were set to invisible by choosing Hide participants with video turned off), one viewing in gallery mode, the other in speaker mode so we could cut between “tight” and “wide” shots. Creating the synced multicam with multiple video and discrete audio tracks was time consuming. Some of these audio tracks appeared to pause recording when the speaker wasn’t speaking, so it required lots of blading and re-syncing.
Good luck!

I’m not clear on what you’re describing. Can you post screenshots or a video of the problem?

The free CommandPost from https://commandpost.io allows exporting the timeline index as csv. Here’s a previous thread about something similar. https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/344/54929

Here’s a free Ripple tutorial on how to use a spreadsheet build titles in Motion. I know you asked for a FCPX solution but this could at least automate part of the task. https://www.rippletraining.com/blog/motion/auto-generate-motion-graphics-from-a-spreadsheet/
