FCPX endless transcoding multicam clip

1- Why is FCPX transcending multicam clips if all clips are already transcoded?

What do you mean by transcoded? Have you optimized the footage to ProRes 422 while importing it into FCP X?

I bet you have that set in your preferences. There's a setting to automatically optimize all multicam clips. Go to preferences and turn that sucker off.

My workflow:
1- Inport all media
2- Transcode all media to proxy (from the browser)
3- Create multicam clip

After I create the multicam clip, fcpx starts transcoding the multicam clip over and over again.

BenB,
Yes, that setting was ON. Turned it off.
But what does that mean? Why is it transcoding a mulsticam clip if all the included media is already transcoded?

I've never used that function, but I'm going to assume FCPX doesn't yet check the format of the multicam clips before transcoding, when that option is turned on. Go immediately to the feedback page and report this as a bug. Be very detailed, to the point, and clear.

Now, the preference setting does say "optimize", not "proxy", so that means it is set to create ProRes 422 normally, not proxies. But I'd think it would, or should, recognize ProRes formats, even proxy, and override itself. That'd make sense, right?

thanks!!!
