This is a powerful time saver in FCPX. This "tiny" tip will save you countless hours while editing in FCPX. Simply sync all your camera and audio time to one time. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but the more accurate you are the better it is in the long run. This will help you a ton while editing and organizing your project. In the example provided here, you can see where have 2 different cameras (cameras P and Camera S - odd names, but they work). Note that the shots from that mini-session of the bride are right next to each other. And more importantly, event he shots that were filmed at the same time from multiple angles, they are next to each other. This helps me as and editor (who has also filmed this wedding), to really be able to see the available shots I have from a sequence of shots. It really allows me to be able to see the FULL spectrum of what we captured as a team and tell a perfect story. This works even better (the video details it a bit) when you have 2 cameras and an audio track.

I've had a few friend ask me to make a Final Cut Pro 10 tutorial. So I decided to give it a try. Here is my first attempt at making a tutorial. So hopefully it's helpful. I will definitely be making a few more that are hopefully improved. This tutorial starts with my file organization/management setup that prepares the way for Final Cut Pro X and finishes with a FCPX project ready to start editing. Hope this helps answer some questions. Please comment if you have any questions (or if I missed some areas)....
