Best Practices? FCPX with PluralEyes.

Hey guys, I'm looking for an efficient workflow between FCPX and PluralEyes.

I've come across a lot of tutorials on how to use PluralEyes with FCPX - and they have been really helpful. But I'm having a hard time conjuring up information on "best practices" and and efficient workflow.

I'm currently working on a mini-series which leaves us with dozens of audio and video clips at the end of the day, and I haven't wrapped my head around each step in using PluralEyes most effectively.

1. We're sending a wireless feed from a boomed microphone straight into the 5D Mark II, to get a scratch track
2. We're averaging probably 60 clips an episode, and PluralEyes seems to be having a hard time lining everything up
3. Once I get everything synced - I can import EVERYTHING back into FCPX as a timeline and flounder around with all the clips in the timeline = sucky.

Here's what I want to do:

1. Dump every-single audio and video clip we've shot that day into PluralEyes
2. Sync all the audio
2. Have all the beautiful sounding audio replace the poopy audio, and have it sit ready to cut in my event browser

I've emailed PluralEyes support about this - and will post any help they share with me. My guess is I'm just missing a couple small workflow steps - but a full workflow step-by-step would be really good to have!

Thanks guys,

- Cole
