If you want to stay in sync, you’ll be much better off with a “video wall” coming from one machine rather than 3 laptops.
You have lots of options. Perhaps someone can chime in on their experience and their recommendations for products.
FCP X can easily handle a super wide format with a custom resolution timeline. See here:

Sounds like an OS issue on your machine.
It unfortunately happens. On my MacPro Adobe CS4 suddenly stopped working last summer. I tried everything to get it to work, but it after a few days each app would begin locking up and not be able to be launched again. I reinstalled a half dozen times, and finally gave up.
On machines that are depending on as much as ours are, it really is best to have a plan to reinstall the OS occasionally as preventative maintenance.
I for one have never had a problem with FCP X that wasn’t caused by a corrupt preference file, third party plugin, or corrupted font. You can see some more notes here:

Can you figure out if it is a font or the title itself? If it is the title itself that is corrupted, does it play, but just not render? Weird.

Very funny. 😉
So my vote would be to raise the bar just a bit of professionalism from Basic American Cable, and include any word that if you said it while you were 10 in front of your mom you mouth should be washed out with soap.

No. But what are you trying to accomplish by selecting the connected clips? Perhaps there is another way to accomplished what you want to do.

Bummer.
The keyword data is all in there it is just a matter of pulling it out and converting the time unit in the XML to time code. If you had some time you could probably put something together in Xcode fairly quickly. Apple has some online training for free.
One thing to note about key frames is that they are related to a time range within a clip. Often times it can be the whole range of the clip, but of cause it could be just a few frames. This would compound some issues with communicating which keywords were with what clip.

Tim,
I got blocked this week by using the offensive “football”. It struck me as very funny. I’ve also been blocked with “crack” a number of times also.
I can understand about blocking spam and I am all for it, but while you are at it what about blocking middle school potty words?

Regarding Core Melt Lock & Load x, it is applied to a single clip as a filter and only analyzes the visible portion of that clip. On my system analyzes in just about real time.
The built in smooth cam appears to analyze and entire clip, not just the visible (or used) portion. Plus it takes about 10x real time to do analyze.
The downside of Lock & Load is that it is serialized (2 installs) and requires more processing power to playback than the built in stabilization.
I hope this helps.

[Rick Foxx] “Shouldn’t an eSATA drive be fast enough to play back 5 camera angles in proxy?”
Humm. I think something else is going on with your system. I just tried this on my aging 2007 MacBook Pro, 2.2, 6GB Ram and a 128MB video card, and on my internal drive I get about 33MB/sec. and a 5 angle multi clip plays and edits without trouble. Here is a screencast:

I would do as much maintenance and troubleshooting as you can on that system. Perhaps your drives are very full or something else is running in the background. Maybe even reinstall FCP X.
By the way, instead of the built in stabilization I would recommend Lock&Load X from CoreMelt. It analyzes only the portion of the clip you need and does so in about real time. Plus you have much more control than the built in function.
