Synchronized clips default to 720 not 1080

I do mostly 2-camera shoots with external audio which do sync well in FCPX, a feature I appreciate though I am having some real difficulty with it.
First, and most importantly, the resulting compound clip defaults to 720 23.98 instead of 1080 29.97, despite setting the project properties correctly and the original clips being 1080 29.97.
Working with the resulting compound clip is also proving to be a major issue -

Here is an easy work around...
FYI - I shoot video with the Canon 7D and record audio with the Zoom H4n.
Syncronize your clips
Select the new synced clip; then select New Compound Clip in the FILE menu
Select the appropriate settings with the CUSTOM options
The new compound clip is Synced in your desired settings and can be dropped into the timeline
BTW- Be sure to deselect the audio captured by the camera mic in the audio menu for best results, otherwise the synchronization process will defualt to including the audio from the camera and your external mic.

New Apple TV starts as 720 not 1080?

Hi
I have just bought a new Apple TV directly from Apple.
I am connecting to a Sony Bravia TV, but when connecting it reports resolution as 720, not 1080. I have tried a different cable, but no joy.
I also have BT Vision through another AV channel and will switch ports / cables if I have to, but I am hoping you will tell me I am missing something simple :-) Please?
Bob

Not what I was hoping to hear, but at least I know now!
Thanks for your help

720 not 1080 ?

hi i am new here and just placed an order for bt vision after many happy years with sky. ( sky broadband far too slow at new house so thought i would change everything) i have just seen a post saying that the vision box does not support 1080 hd. if this is true i will not be going through with the order.
Can anyone confirm this for me. In this day and age what is the point of high speed broadband when you cannot watch full hd films. I am shocked.
Solved!

Hi,
At the moment the only HD content you can get are chargeable downloaded on demand HD films/programmes. Where Freeview is concerned, the box cannot display the four HD channels, as it does not contain a HD DVBT2 tuner.
In saying all the above, a new YouView HD box is expected to be released anytime form Sept onwards but no details as yet have been released, so please don't quote me on that.

Stabilizing synchronized clips

I have encountered a problem when I synchronized two 5D clips with an external audio clip and then tried to stabilize the videoclips. In the synchronized clip the stabilizer is not active, so I opened it in the timeline and applied the stabilizer to the two videoclips there. It did stabilize, but did NOT apply a zoom to make the stabilization invisible. Instead the video wobbles around the frame. Tweaking the scale zoom handle has no effect. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanx!!

In other words in a synchronized clip everything is fine,when syncronized with the song audio...but when I put this syncronized clip on the same audio clip on the timeline I find it longer than the song audio , when I go inside this syncronized clip again the length is the same ...why on timeline the clip becomes longer and audio lags and gets distorted like a base voice......
I wish there was synchronization feature on the timeline than the event......

Not seeing the synchronized clip icon

Not seeing it in either the Clip viewer (actually event browser might be the correct term for the window at the top) or when I append it (the selected clip) pressing "E" into the timeline I also see no synchronized clip icon to click on and drill down into. I thought I was careful in the order I selected the clips and synchronized and making sure the audio only clip was mono.
Any ideas?

Yes I'm a bit late with learning this tutorial so it unfortunately is using one of the first versions of Final Cut X when it came out. Oh well, better late then never.

10.0.1 Synchronized Clips Bug or Not?

Only just noticed this and would like to pin point if it's a bug or not?
I created a Keyword Collection and placed a video/audio file to sync.
Adding a second clip in the Keyword Collection (which is Cam-B), I then synchronized this clip with the same audio file.
I then created a compound clip and added Synchronized Clip: MVI_1051 in the Primary Storyline, and above I connected Synchronized Clip: MVI_3262.
At this stage everything seems to appear normal.
What I generally do now is Break Apart Clip Items, then delete one of the audio track, and my result should be 2x perfectly synched cameras.
However (and only by accident) I didn't delete the 2nd audio track, and zoom into the beginning of the timeline to only find that the audio is out of sync.
To re-explain.....
I synched 2 video clips with the same audio, created a compound clip (as a timeline) added sync 1 to the primary storyline and connect the 2nd sync above. I then choose Break Apart Clip Items, and found the audio not lining up at the beginning.
Has anyone got a good explanation for this...? or is it just another FCP X BUG...!

I've been told many times that FCP X is unable to sync 2 cameras at the same time.....!
Out of curiosity I selected both clips + audio and choose synchronize clips, and here are the results
I'm still curious as to why that audio doesn't line up..!

Can you apply ranged keywords to synchronized clips?

Howdy y'all,
I have two audio files representing separate sides of a conversation, recorded with two separate mics. (This lets me control their levels and such in post, individually.) It's trivial to turn these two clips into a single Syncronized clip, once I make whatever adjustments I wish to them indivudally. So far so good.
Now I'm at the point where I want to log the major sections of this conversation, marking ranges with keywords. But while I can select ranges on the synchronized clip with the range tool (or setting in / out points as I listen), I can't seem to assign keywords to any of these ranges. I can bring up the keyword editor and type stuff all right, but no keyword I thus create ever gets assigned to the syncronized clip. It seems that the most I can do is keyword only one or the other of the synchronized clip's constituent clips. I don't wanna do that; I want to log the whole, synthezied conversation, not just one mic's output.
I have also tried to do this by treating the separate tracks as a compound clip rather than a syncronized clip, and I encounter the same issue.
Am I missing something, or using the wrong FCPX idiom? Or can you simply not log at any level other than at the lowest level of original clips? (Which would make me sad and confused...)
Background: I am yet another person coming to FCPX after cutting my A/V teeth years ago on (in this case) FCP 5. And yes, I'm trying to use this to edit together an audio-only podcast. I got good enough at "classic" FCP idioms that I wouldn't think twice about doing it, despite the lack of a video element in the source, so it seemed natural to use FCPX for this project today. If I am flat-out using the wrong tool, please let me know. But I tried using GarageBand for this, and the lack of e.g. j/k/l made me instantly hate it...

Thanks; that does seem to do the trick.
I don't suppose there's a way to bring up a visualization of a clip's audio waveform in the viewer pane? (I refer to the middle pane in the top row.) I feel a bit crowded working with a lengthy audio track using only that tiny, scrunched view in the browser pane, and I seem to recall that you could change the view in classic FCP to display only the audio.
If I'm just doing coarse-level logging it isn't a huge deal, and I'm willing to concede that this is one thing I have to live with using a video editor on an audio-only project. But it'd be nice to have...

Problem synchronizing clips

Hi,
I am trying to synchronize two video clips, one which has two different audio tracks (CH1 on board, CH2 tie clip) and a second camera with an on board mic).
So far FCPX does not synchronize these correctly. I have tried setting in points first. I have also tried adding a marker called 'Marker 1' to both clips at the same point (I got someone to clap at the beginning). Still, when I open the synchonized clip, they are not quite in sync.
Am I doing something wrong? I was hoping I could use this feature to edit multiple cameras and just cut them up on the timeline, and patiently wait for a proper multicam feature in the next release.

After experimenting, it seems that the synchronize feature takes time to work (i.e. once the synchronized clip appears, it might still take a long time to process and actually perform the sync!) so best to leave it for several hours if a long clip and come back to it later.
However, the sync I have found doesn't work every time, and it isn't always spot on.
I think it is going to be a case of waiting for the multicam feature, where hopefully we will be able to set in points manually. I always clap or flash the cameras at the start of a multicam shoot, so syncing shouldn't be difficult if apple copy the functionality of FCP7 multicam.

2 Cameras 1 Audio Synchronized Clips lost after timeline review

Hello. I have embarked on a film project and I am trying to sync and log the footage effectively so that a remote editor can begin work and we can utilize the same titled footage. So that he and I can work effectively from the same material, I am syncing all footage and titling it by scene and take. So far I have synced two complete scenes. Occassionally I would open a synced file in the timeline just to review and make sure everything was in order. Then I would highlight the material in the timeline, delete, it, and move on to syncing the next 3 clips. This is why I did not notice that although the title of the synced clip remained in my list of " - Synchronized Clip(s)" the clip that I had opened and then cleared from the timeline was actually blacked out completely. It was unplayable. It was as though once you added a synced clip to the timeline, you had to use it or it was gone. But as I said, the title of the clip remained so I didn't notice that some were gone.
This has proven very frustrating to me. I have tried to synchronize clips and then turn them into compound clips, but that does not seem to allow me to "break apart" the synced clips for future cutting.
My goal is to completely "sync" the two cams and 1 audio track for editorial review, and then export the entire Library to a hard drive for a two editor work flow.
What the heck am I doing wrong? Or, am I doing anything right? Thanks so much for your help.

You mean once you've deleted it? If this was the synced clip, you just have to resync it.
Once you've opened it in the timeline you don't have to do anything. Just open sonething else into the timeline or open a project.
Sync clips aren't in the Finder. They're simply two separate clips combined in the sync clip container.

Covert movie from 720 to 1080

My Movie clips won't save in 1080?
They started out as very high res
but the 1080 button not active?

What was the resolution of the first video clip you put in the project? I believe it is this which sets the resolution for the project in iMovie 10. It then won't let you save to a higher resolution.

Syncing and understanding "synchronized Clips"

We did a fairly large scene in an episode of our TV show.
We used two cameras and 14 mics -- connected to 4 separate recorders.
Kind of a mess, but FCPx has done a great job of sync'ing everything
So... I now have everything synced in a "synchronized Clip".
I do need all the audio tracks for parts of the scene, but there are other parts where I only need one single track (a particular mic on a character)
How do I switch (or remix) that -- just that one instance on the storyline?
Thanks
Steve

Setup both accounts and they will remain as separate accounts. They will not merge.
Although both sets of contacts will appear in the Contacts app, they will stay separate.
It's not actually possible to merge contacts from multiple accounts, so there's no worry that that may happen. Although you can choose to view all contacts together in the Contacts app.

720 to 1080

Hi all,
I have a quick question.
I have FCP X and film all my footage in 1080p. I finished my project and uploaded it only to realize that the footage was downgraded to 720.
Does anyone know a quick way to just change the project I already pieced together from being 720 to 1080 so that I don't have to re edit anything?
Any help would be appreciated!

Quickest: You can create a new projects with custom 1080 settings then copy the 720 timeline and paste it to the 1080 project TL.
Of course, most of the time it's best to let FCP determine the project settings automatically determine the project settings from the first clip.

G5 Dual 2 GHz won't smoothly play 720 or 1080 HD Quicktime Trailers

Dual Processor Power Mac G5 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM
I could have sworn that my G5 used to be able to play all levels of HD movies smoothly as anything sometime during normal Tiger usage.
Then one day, I noticed my G5 when on Tiger would stutter playing anything about 480.
I thought the upgrade to Leopard would fix this. But just today I upgraded to 10.5.3 on this G5 (I used the upgrade option on the install DVD to upgrade from Tiger) and it STILL won't play HD trailers 720 or 1080 smoothly.
is this supposed to be? Do I not have the minimum requirements to watch those kinds of resolutions anymore?
I know this machine is 4 years old now, but seriously? That seems crazy to me.
Does anyone else have this configuration and see similar or different behavior?
thank you

at least I finally hear of someone else w/ the same issue
your machine should, in my opinion, completely be able to play HD quicktime movies.
the funny thing for me is that once, I had 10.5.1 (or even 10.5.2) on a FW drive, and I COULD play them smoothly when booted from it
and now that I have 10.5.3......I can't

The Default Gateway Is Not Available / Problem

Hello, I recently purchased this HP Pavileon laptop, and I've been encountering this problem very often (every 2-10 minutes). This problem is getting extremely frustrating as absolutely nobody has been able to provide a fix for this issue.
When the laptop is on battery mode (this does not happen when plugged in); I commonly get disconnected from my wi-fi connection and to fix it, I must run the troubleshooter. This temporarily fixes the issue by resetting the wi-fi adapter.
What I have tried and has not worked:
* Turn off to save power option in the driver settings (in Device Manager) untickets
* Updated drivers
* New power plan
* Tried different drivers
* Complete system restore
The wireless adapter is Realtek RTL 8188EE. Upon running the troubleshooter, this is all the information from the detailed information section:
