From what you're saying, what you're wanting to do is track and corner pin the inserted video. Motion can do it or you'll need a plugin like maybe TrackX to do it in FCPX. ---- Jeff Kirkland Video Pro

I've used both and Pluraleyes has more features and *maybe* an edge over FCPX in terms of syncing but FCPX works for me 99% of the time. I think I'd only jump to Pluraleyes if I needed one of the thin
