Re: Multiclips lose sync when reconnecting

Multiclips do not work and frequently lose sync. If you're trying to edit any sizable project, then forget it.

Problems occur if timecodes and in points are different, which on multicamera shoot is often the case.

Problem happens when you move, reconnect or otherwise change media, and on some projects it will happen on closing and opening FCP.

You'll also notice that the length of the multiclip is longer than it should be, possibly with black at the beginning or end.

I work for TV network that installed FCP in January, and after two months of trying to edit multicamera shoots, the official support people have finally admitted that there is indeed a problem with the FCP software. Apple have been informed...

Whether Apple can or will fix it is anyone's guess. They're not exactly known for being responsive to complaints.

If you use multiclips then forget it. The problem won't go away. We're on the verge of hiring some Avids just to cope with the backlog of work that we can't get done. So if it's cheesing you off, then complain to Apple, and maybe they'll do something about but I'm not holding my breath waiting.
