FAIL!

Ive been sitting here for 3 days trying to render a movie from FCPX that looks beautiful and is in perfect sync on the timeline.

But, every finished rendered movie of the timeline, ends up with the audio out of sync. I have now tried all the different possible variations in rendering.

Summary: Final Cut X does not always render what you see in the timeline.

Please Be Aware: The FCPX timeline can look fine, but then after your long render, it may end up with things out of sync, etc. and then you are back to square one.

And seems there is no one at Apple that can help. Lots of threads with novice help though.

This is not an unusual, esoteric problem. This is simply trying to end up with a finished movie that looks and sounds like it does in the time line.

So buy a new MAC, maybe that will work, and with the brand new operating system, remember to upgrade your now incompatible hardware devices and plug-ins. Maybe you can get that project finished by 2017.

But you may be in luck: Apple might be able to loan you the +/- 10k to make the transitional purchases (assuming youve made timely payments on the 10k system you bought a few years ago) so their software can be made to work as advertised. Im guessing I will be learning Adobe Premier or Media Composer after all. Ive used Final Cut for over 10 years. :(
