[Jasper McInerney] "If you are not having problems, then one of two things is happening: you have FCP version 5 (which has a whole different set of bugs), or you're not using timecode, or possibly all your clips have identical timecode."
Ok, you did read the part about him doing broadcast work with multiclip. So that means Timecode was used. And he's using Time of Day TC. And he told you what to do if the TC is off.
[Jasper McInerney] "I repeat: Multiclips do not work properly.
Have a look on the internet forums - it's very easy to find people tearing their hair out in frustration. FCP 6 multiclip function is a dog!!!"
If you research this forum, you'll find that Herb has been offering great advice to folks on here for quite some time. He also has cut quite a few multiclip projects. If he says the feature works, then it does.
He also says if you work in the multiclip mode improperly, then it won't work correctly. Multiclip is not like a lot of functions in FCP where there are many ways to do the same thing. With Multiclip you must perform the proper workflow in order to get it to work correctly.
Look through his notes again, and see what you're doing that's different. Just because other forums are full of people who can't get it to work doesn't mean the feature itself doesn't work. It means there could be a lot of people out there who have not taken the time to properly educate themselves on how to use the multiclip workflow.
