This can help locate the related clips for a multicam shoot. If all cameras and recorders are set with proper time of day, the ingested clips sort adjacent to each other. So when I have a long day shooting documentaries or even more with music performers or something like this, I get a lot of files that can be synced and other that are meant to be alone and I have no idea what goes with what. But then sometimes I'm recording Multicam, sometimes not, sometimes I'm using a voice recorder, sometimes not and sometimes I used all together of course.

Otherwise the library is too large to easily duplicate. Then you can easily manually duplicate the library using Finder at certain key times, such as before loading an XML. Ideally always use a 'lean' library with proxies, media and cache outside the library. In my testing you can move the project and multicam to your normal event and delete the events that PluralEyes created. Within those new events may appear 'duplicate' clips but they are not really duplicate, they are pointing to the original clips in your normal event. I use 'A Better Finder Rename': A different possibility: The PluralEyes XML will create a new event for the synced multicam and project. I usually add a 5-digital incrementing serial number. If so the solution is rename all files making them unique. If you see duplicates with a suffix 1, 2, etc, it may be that issue. PluralEyes uses XML to load the synced material. FCPX has a bug or issue whereby loading XML can create spurious duplicate clips if the original disk filenames are not globally unique.

This is a good method, with one exception. Then, inside the different cameras, recorders etcĪnd I basically drop them in the folder, so when I import them, I get automatically the keywords telling me the type of media and the camera that it comes from. With a folder tree that divides: Footages and Sound I put them in a folder name by this sequence: I always import my media and organize them, first in the Finder. I have a workflow problem that is very recurrent and that I wish I can solve with your help.
