fcp3....according to AppleInsider

Not quite following here. Is this limiting because you can't re-assign meta data TC within FCP?

You can but it affects every other clip from that same reel. Not exactly sure how it affects FCP because I've never done it except in Avid, just read that it doesn't work in FCP. Explained here:

FCP has the worst timeline navigation I ever saw. Avid DS has the best one... (as I know and used) Even color has a better timeline navigation than FCP.

This is incredible for an editing software...

If anyone knows a way around this, I would LOVE to know.

Hey Jim,
We're just wrapping color on a musical feature that was shot multicam with long takes (20-40 min). Our approach was to redrush quicktimes with camera grading applied, edit with multiclip; then once cut is locked media manage the project, use existing media, uncheck the box to include non-active multiclip angles, replace qt's with R3d's in clipfinder conform, send to color, fix with color fixer, and grade!

A bit winding of a workflow i know (with upto 3 third party software solutions!) but it works!

Hi Thom,
I'd like to talk to you about this as I couldn't get that workflow to function. When you send ANY multiclip timeline to Color, original or clipfinder-replaced, doesn't it only include the first two cameras?
How many cameras we're in your multiclip?

Love to hear more, thanks for your post.

I'm pretty sure this new FCS3 will be totally GPU based (with support of several GPU cards). With Red Rocket coming, it would be a real killer app. Apple please

We had 3 cameras per show but there were 4 or 5 shows that were then included in the multiclips. Yeah rendering multiclips from Color is terrible, which is why we:
1. did all of our editing with the multiclips
2. collapsed the multiclips to streamline playback, editing, rendering, etc
(and here's the important part)
3. Media Managed the timelines once we had picture lock, essentially destroying any link to the original multiclips, and thus fooling color into reading our multiclip timeline like it was reading any traditional single camera or A/B timeline.

Hope that helps.
