We always fave multicam clips with 12 to 16 angles. After finishing a project, I thought it would be no problem to update to FCPX4... Wrong I tried to start a new project, like we always do first drag all different angles in the timeline one above each other then exporting XML drag tis into PluralEyes , here the problem stats, from the 12 angles only two show in PuralEyes. I have tried nearly everything, exporting with current version, previous version, etc. I have no Idea if it is a FCP problem or Plural Eyes .. Just now it seems I am screwed I see no chance to sync the clips.. Any idea ?

Going back to FCPX# is no option since our timemashine backup got corrupted while we were installing a new computer..

Now I am in panic!

Thanks

Well Found a computer that had still FCPX 3 installed. I have imported some new media in there and found when exporting XML version 1.5 all angles get imported in PluralEyes. So since FCPX4 does not have XML ver 1.5 I think that is the problem.

Has anyone an idea how to work around , It is really no option to work in FCPX3 since it is on a slow computer and not able to import iPhone X 4 K footage ( we tied it in the shoot with 3 Phone X) Is there a way to export a FCP3 multicam clip and Import it to FCP4 for edit there?

Thanks

Since we work with up to 20 4k clips (min 10) all clips longer than 30 min, different cameras, some GoPro some Red, Panasonic, 1DX etc. most of the clips are segmented , FCP is just not able to handle that, while PluralEyes does...
