Hey Matthew, thank a million for these tips. This is exactly the kind of technically specific “leg up” I needed. All the best. Tim

G’day Doug,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This rather ungainly project of mine is up and running!! You’ve saved me weeks and weeks of work. You are a valuable asset to this community.

There are still five takes that refuse to let me relink them, citing frame rate incompatibility. Other takes that were shot immediately before and after on…

Hello good people of the FCPX community,

I am seeking ideas on how to approach a multi-screen documentary / installation project that I will soon start work on. I have had a long break from editing and am back, trying to get my head around FCPX.

The installation will have ten discreet, tightly synchronised “streams” of both video and audio pla…

DOUG METZ!!!!

Wow, I don’t know how you did it but it is working almost perfectly!!!! Hundreds and hundreds of clips and edits and bins etc are all there, relinked and ready to go. In total only 8 files cannot be relinked alegedly because, “frame rates don’t match”. I’m sure I can easily work through this problem.

So, when you have time, please…

Hi Doug,

You are the man!!

Not sure if it will help, but I want to tell you my goal with the project. Originally, I sliced up my interviews, dumping thematically similar clips on timelines. Hence all those themed folders. Some themes were then edited much tighter. It’s these unrefined but categorised timelines I want to use as the starting…

G’day Doug,

It’s taken me a few days to find the right project file. This is a fairly massive project with many, many timelines. I’m assuming you work one timeline at a time rather than somehow converting the entire project. From memory, the project is divided into a series of themes, maybe 30 in total. I will eventually need the latest edit…

Hi Doug, I have exactly the same problem. I think my project is quite large. I’d be happy to pay you for your time if you were able to help me. I quit the film and tv biz 12 years ago and have just got a new laptop, ready to dive in again.

Cheers,

Tim
