Multi-clip almost never works for me on the first attempt

Anybody know why when setting up a multi-clip, I can almost
never get it to work the first time I hit the timeline to start playing.
All my settings are correct, but either the viewer or timeline doesn't move on the first time try.
All I do is take my playhead back to the beginning of
timeline, hit play again, and usually it then starts working correctly. Sometimes I have better results if I hit the play in the Viewer instead of the Timeline, but it's not a consistent thing.
Again, I'm in open sync in Viewer and Canvas/Timeline, I'm in Unlimited RT, dynamic video quality and frame rate, multiclip activated there, turned off high quality scrubbing, ect.
I'm usually doing this with (3) short 3 minutes DV clips
on a mac book pro.
When I do get it going after the second, third or fourth attempt, I haven't changed any of the settings,...I've just confirmed that they were right to begin with.
Anybody else experience this and any ideas on how to get it to work correctly first time out?
Thanks.

so effectively it's on a different drive, sort of
But still using the same reader heads as your primary drive. So technically, it's still the same drive.
I just cut a 4 angle music video last week using my MacPro at work, and even with the source media on a FW800 G-Raid, I was still getting delayed playback and couldn't even view the 4-up display when playing back. So I moved the project to our XSAN, and with the fibre backbone there, bandwidth was definitely increased.
So the other variable in this problem is bandwidth as well as RAM. I know that a fibre based storage system isn't in everyone's budget, but I'd recommend trying out an eSATA based drive, given that I had trouble with 4 streams over FW800.

  • Movie Clip loading buttons require double clicking on the first attempt

    I have created a number of buttons that load move clips into
    an empty movie clip. The problem is that it takes several clicks to
    activate the first clip button then the buttons behave as they are
    supposed to and load properly. Is there a reason why the first time
    you must click several times to activate the button loading a movie
    clip?

  • App testing phase: Push notifications are not getting delivered to certain devices (iphone 4S/ios7.0.4 and ios7.0.3 - Push never worked for these two devices for this app). Received OK responses from Apple PUSH services, but notifications not delivered

    We are testing an app at work and Push notifications are not getting delivered to certain devices (iphone 4S/ios7.0.4 and ios7.0.3 - Push never worked for these two devices for this app). Received OK responses from Apple PUSH services, but notifications not delivered to these tow devices.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

    Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
    This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
    1. The phone charges it's battery
    2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
    In iTunes
    3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
    4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
    I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hi ralphagir,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

    Have a great day,

  • FaceTime never works on the first attempt

    I'm surprised I don't see anything mentioned on these forums yet, because I know more people that have these problems:
    Whenever I try to call via FaceTime, and the other person answers, the call get's stuck in the "Connection…" state for minutes. The second attempt is more likely to work, but it doesn't always, either. In some cases the first attempt is not even seen by the other person, even though I don't get an error message on my side. I think initiating the call on the receivers side should be more or less a push notification, right? These work fine in other applications, as far as I can tell.
    My guess is that this might be somewhat network related, but the connection speed on both sides should be more then enough, and the call quality, once it starts working, is fine. I wonder if I can do some diagnosis on the connection, or if that's not where the problem is in the end?
    Cheers,
    Daniel

  • Multi-clip editing not working

    Hello everyone,
    I need help with the multi-cam editing feature, I have done everything I know to be correct to setup my multi-cam editing.
    1. setting a common in point with my 3 cameras
    2. selecting each and creating my multi-clip
    3. setting my RT settings for multi-clip editing
    4. making sure open is set
    The blue marks show up as I switch from angle to angle( I'm using the number pad as my switcher). The problem comes in when i stop and press the spacebar. The blue markers disappear and the cuts don't show up. Please help me understand what I could be doing wrong.

    Thank you all for answering my question. Yet I have done all these things you both mentioned. Its as if there is a glitch. Prior to this post I found that I was switching and not cutting my selections, the adjustment was made and finally I thought I could edit in peace. When I hit the space bar after my cuts (no longer just selection) do not conform to my multi-cam timeline. I mean is there an order I should be doing things in to have this work. The crazy part is that it works sometimes and other times it just doesn't want to function correctly.
    steps taken:
    1. Setting a common in point with my 3 cameras
    2. Selecting each and creating my multi-clip
    3. Setting my RT multi-clip settings for multi-clip editing on timeline
    4. Loading my keyboard layout (which Cut video to angle etc.)
    5. Making sure Gang is set to Open
    6. Double click on multi clip in sequence to load onto viewer
    7. Setting my audio to center and other two to video only
    -play the sequence, start switching and hope/ pray my cuts conform to the Seq.
    I'm I doing something out of order here ?
    thanks in advance

  • Why does dictation almost never work?

    The vast majority of the time I try to use dictation, it does not work at all. I double click the Fn button, and the microphone comes on. But usually it "maxes" out, or conversely, does not seem to register any sound at all.
    Seriously, it happens probably 75% of the time. Then only occasionally it works fine.
    If I restart the computer, it works again. But it would be nice if it could be dependably used. I'm not going to restart the computer when I'm in the middle of an email.
    As a question b, I heard that dictation would learn your vocal patterns to improve it's performance, but does that require anything from the user? How does it correct itself? I never have the option of clarifying the words for it- I just erease them and correct them.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 10.8.2.
    Thanks!

    Match frame works if you pay attention to the auto-select buttons. To match to an audio track, be sure that no video track is auto-selected. FCP will match to the lowest numbered audio track that is selected. (I hope I have this right - not in front of my system now).
    About Find Bin. Yeah, it doesn't work well. If the clip in question was originally captured into another project, then brought into your current project, it will not work. This is a major pain for those like me that have an assistant load tapes in a separate "assistant project."
    I make my living with FCP, but this, and a few other "features" really drive me nuts.

  • Back to my mac has never worked for me [sigh] - Help?...

    Hi Gang,
    I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I've never been able to set up Back to my mac. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to it if you've got a dot mac account, all Apple hardware and (in my case) a static IP address for the Airport Base Station (which is now a 1TB TimeCapsule). I feel like I must be missing something obvious as it seems I see the problem appearing less frequently with posts on and off this board now that 10.5.2 is out. Have a missed a post here which solved something obvious?
    Here's the basic setup.
    Home Computer is G5 Tower, always on connected directly to TimeCapsule which is connected directly to cable modem. The TimeCapsule has a static IP address and I have a couple others which are unassigned. Running 10.5.2 with Back to my Mac Enabled.
    Laptop MBP moves all over town and country (and globe) with all the same systems and updates.
    I have 3 different dot mac accounts (all full user) and have rotated through them to see if that would help. I'm not 100% certain which one the desktop is running, so I've registering all 3 (one at a time, of course) to see if it would magically show up in the shared bar. I'm not entirely certain if I'd need to log in and out to see that. Am I?
    I run Apple Remote Desktop 3 when I'm on my local network, but have never used it across the internet. Tried it last night from London and realized there are configuration issues that I'm probably not aware of and just have not had time to troubleshoot it whilst on a family trip here.
    I did (only for this trip) password protect the screen (in Security prefs), but I thought that would at least present itself for entry if I was successful enough to actually access the G5 Tower. Yes? No?...
    I'm just kind of stuck and it would be so nice to be able to access the desktop on this trip. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix while I'm on the road?
    Very much obliged,
    Mick

    Thanks Dogg,
    I had a moment of light when I was able to access my wife's computer (which was on) and then remotely access the desktop. For about 5 whole minutes it worked! I checked the settings there and then made the really stupid mistake of trying to change the Screen Sharing settings away from Remote Management to Screen Sharing, and then totally lost my connection. I feel so dumb. I'd forgotten that turning one off to get the other on would obviously not work. [sigh]
    But at least I saw it work briefly on another computer.
    Any idea how to turn BACK on Screen Sharing or Remote Management, remotely?
    much obliged,
    Mick
