It makes sense there as in X to me.
Yeah, go ahead and close that gap.
I don’t want a hole there.
Fill it : )

OK, I think I got you Jim.
So don’t embed the audio with the video unless you wanted that way?
-
[Sean Davison] “More than 2 tracks of Video
More than 10 tracks of audio “Isn’t one of the objectives of X to consolidate “tracks” so you use fewer of them.
I seem to remember Apple using that as a selling point.

[Walter Soyka] “Maybe it’s worth it for you, maybe it’s not. I don’t know what your needs are, but you do. That’s why I suggested you try the demo on your next hairy sync project and see if it works better.”
Thanks Walter, I don’t want you to think I didn’t appreciate your tip. I went and looked at a demo for the PE and thanks for suggesting.
You made some interesting points about the way Apple treated this company and how they kind of got the short stick.
That line seemed to turn kind of on the subject of ethics. If we go there I got a list of stuff starting with
the way workers are treated in China before I get to this,But I hear you.

I’m on here because of cool people like you Steve : ) And Jim and Mark M and others.
I’m not on here so much to debate if people should use X or not.
Although I like a good debate from time to time but I like to show RESPECT for others when I do it.
I’m not able to learn about my specific field and X’s use because nobody on here knows enough about what I do to explain to me why I can’t use it in what I do.
I first came on here because I didn’t see Sports represented, and I wanted to give that perspective.
There’s some good info to be picked up on here. Every once in a while someone will mention an app that I have not heard of or tried.
And a pro like Jim will reach out with sound advice. That makes it worth weeding through some of the other comments.

[Walter Soyka] “PluralEyes is both faster and more reliable [link].”
I don’t see how it can be faster. You have to go into a separate program vs just staying in X
That link seems to be gone.
It looks like they want 149.00 for PluralEyes
Don’t know if I want to spend that if X is working the way it is now for me.
I can see using this program with 7 but not with X
Even if you used it with 7 you would be using a 32 bit 7 vs a 64 X which is syncing it just fine for me.
Have you used it with X Walter?

[TImothy Auld] “But would that really work with X”
What would stop it from working?
when I first saw X one the features that drew me to it was that one.
I tried a test with some clips and it worked fine. I had no problem, and this was the first version.
[TImothy Auld] “Have you finished and delivered to broadcast specs a project of a complex nature and a length of 22 minutes or so with X?”
I’m working on a documentary right now and it’s going to be a lot longer than 22 minutes.
I have not had any problems so far doing anything I have wanted to do.I hear people taking about how buggy it is after the last update but mine still seems to be working the same.
I am still working on snow leopard because I don’t like those grey folders in Lion.I was just wondering if that had anything to do with it. I think most people have move to Lion.
What OS are you using?
One thing I don’t have is patients, if it starts acting up I will be ticked like others and maybe start to look around.
So far so good.

[Walter Soyka] “If sound is available, you shouldn’t go back to the strobe, ever. “
Why not?
Remember we were shooting on cards so when you stop that makes another clip.
When they would do a take that would start a new clip. They wanted to sync all the clips not just the first ones.
[Walter Soyka] “PluralEyes”
If I have X why do I need PluraEyes. I thought X just copied what PluralEyes does.

[Walter Soyka] “If you didn’t already have Apple hardware and FCP7, would you really be buying iMacs and FCPX for all your professional work today?
“Let me answer this way.
Just shot a multi-cam reality show with my stedi-cam for a local station.
5 camera set-up
3 XD, one ex1 with the stedi and a gopro
Can’t jam TC with the ex1 or gopro
So…………………eic steps in with a strobe flash to match.
They use 7 and that’s how they get it done in post.
Now, what’s the problem? It’s a 13 hour day. we shot all day. Think about how many flashes we had to have.
How much space on the cards we used because we didn’t want to stop down and reflash every second.
With the stedi there were sections that I din’t shoot but then had to jump back in. In and out but not stop down. Keep running on a blank wall when I would have stopped. OK now plow through all that extra useless crap producer. waste time.
They are very good at what they do, and it will be a good looking show when they get done.
But with X…………..none of that.
I would sync all that stuff with sound.
Done.
OK, now show me why I should go back to the strobe.
