Multi-Clips, Consolidated Clips, and 4k.

Question

Multi-Clips, Consolidated Clips, and 4k.

I'm editing a short doc (shot in 4k) that got a little messy due to the camera guy cutting the cam multiple times. Instead of having one continuous clip to sync up with the second cams clip, I've had to consolidate the first clip to avoid having to Multi-cam several clips of the same clips. Once all the clips are consolidated and multi-cam'd, I have laid the final MC clip on the timeline. Here is the QUESTION... If I want to zoom-in to reframe the clip, will it still be effecting the 4k clip, or the new 1080 consolidated/multi-cam'd clip? If so, do I need to go all they way back in to the original clip to do the zooming?

Final Cut Pro X, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

I think you overcomplicated things. There should be no problem creating a multicam with the original clips as they were. That would actually be the simple and clear thing to do.

Not sure what you mean by "consolidating" here. Did you create a compound clip? Or made a project, exported and reimported?

The answer to your question depends on this.
