Hey Andreas!
Multiclips need a master multiclip to function properly, so if you
haven't included the master multiclip ( it is shared across instances
unless the angles are ordered differently) for the multiclip instances
in a seqence, we create one for you. For a given multiclip in the
timeline you can choose View > Reveal master multiclip and the create
master multiclip should be selected in the browser.
Hope that helps!

Hi Andreas,
it looks to me like it automatically creates that bin when it
imports a sequence containing multiclips. You might just want to not
import your original clips.

Thanks Martin,
I just searched for your question, but it seems to be different
from my "problem" - which may be a "feature".
If you got a sequence just one multiclip and several edits and
export this sequence as XML and re-import -- then FCP will create a
bin automatically with all the multiclips of the sequence named
"Multiclips" and I don't have any idea how the real relation of
those clips in the bin and the clips in the sequence does work or
is fool prooved.

Hi Andreas
If I'm understanding correctly, I think this related to the
question I asked last week. The short answer is that you can't add
objects to a bin that already exists. I've filed it as a bug and
got a duplicate bug number back so someone else got there first
(possibly Eryk!)

Martin,
Here's the short answer - the only way add a clip to a bin is to
replace the entire bin and its contents. This behavior is
documented in the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange document.
Greg's suggestion does not work.
Personally, I've always considered this state of affairs to be a
bug.

Hi Martin,
Reading the spec, it doesn't look like the updatebehavior tag will
do what you want it to. Here's the description of addifnotfound:
• Adds the imported component to the project provided the tar
get component is not found. If the target component is found, do
es nothing.
Which will do nothing in your case because the bin is found!
I guess the way to achieve what you want is to append your clips'
XML to the children tag of the appropriate bin. Then I'm guessing
that setting the bin's updatebehavior to "replaceoradd" will
replace the old bin with the new bin containing the original and
extra clips.
Hope this helps,
Greg
I'm trying to add a new clip to a specific bin (three levels deep)
in an existing project and not having any success. I've stripped
it back to a simple clip inside a single bin but still can't get
the results I'm looking for.
e.g.
<bin>
<uuid>A6768142-B28F-4F4B-A855-478E279D45FF</uuid>
<updatebehavior>addifnotfound</updatebehavior>
<name>imports</name>
<children>
<clip id="myclip.motn">
<uuid>B14825AB-79AD-4A4E-A7D5-79364B30FDDA</uuid>
<updatebehavior>add</updatebehavior>
<name>myclip.motn</name>
...
</clip>
</children>
</bin>
The "imports" bin already exists at the top level of the project
open in FCP but when I import this, the myclip.motn file doesn't
get added to the bin.
Any thoughts?

Hi all,
Maybe somebody has an idea for me with the following:
I have build an app which collects some data from external
sources and then creates an FCP project out of this. The project
is a multiclip project, which includes some bins and a multiclip
sequence. The app is running fine and FCP imports without any
errors and everything looks as expected - expect one thing.
During import FCP creates a new bin "Multiclips" where the
multiclips from the sequence are stored again. Is there any way
to prevent FCP from doing that? It's bit confusing to have the
multiclips twice in the project.
Or is there something wrong with my XML?
Regards
Andreas
