Beachballing when blading in the angle editor

In one of my libraries, whenever I blade a clip in any of the multicam clips opened in the angle editor, I get a beach ball and see messages that one or more projects are being loaded into the timeline. (I am able to make adjustments to the settings for HyColour Pro in the angle editor without setting off the beach ball.) Eventually I have to force quit. I've trashed my preferences and as well as the flexolibraries to no avail. Suggestions, please!

Hi John,
sorry to say - but I'm of no help here:
I never have seen such a Multicam-timeline as yours!
You have 3 cams/angles, close. side and far, easy  - but the 'extracted' (why that??) audio-tracks do not correspond with the video tracks (by length, split, whatever) ...
For me it looks like, like someone  tries to re-enact 'track based editing' by abusing the MC-angle editor ... what it isn't meant for, nor is it necessary ...
The  usages I know-of, are very, very easier:
you synch angles. And get 'one' clip.
switch back into your project
you edit the clip there. in terms of: cut it into pieces an re-arranges them. e.g. cut a long performance into parts, or shorten a 70min soccer-game into a 8min report (what I do weekly).
while doing so, MC supports you by keeping an audio-track and edit just the video. (e.g. music-video)
… or keeping a video and just edit the audio. (e.g. … no real-life example at hand , perhaps: one person is shown but many others ask questions from the off)
… or edit a + v but keep all tracks in synch (e.g. an interview with 2 persons in on)
But I have no idea, why you edit in the angle-viewer? Any why you extract the audio of the clips?? And why you want to get everything out of synch by editing audio and video differently?? (that is the nature, the purpose of MC: to keep things IN synch!) ...
you have seen these three four podcasts?

and, yes, possible FCPX' data-base got corrupted on your accident ...

    i just figured it out.....

  • This is a silly question but how do you close the angle editor in the timeline and go back to my master multicam clip for editing? I'm having a brain **** right now...

  • Beachball when I move the header?

    When working in iWeb, I am able to work and edit everything fine, except for the header of the page. As soon as I touch it, I get a beachball that lasts for a couple minutes or so.This only happens when I click on the header, and try to move the text. Very annoying. iWeb is up to date, I have 10.4.7, I have repaired permissions, ran maintenance scripts, and blah blah blah.
    Any ideas?

    Is your header quite complicated?
    iWeb is a very intensive and memory hungry program. Have you maxed out your RAM?
    If it's a new thing, have you tried setting up a new site and seeing if it is repeatable?

  • How do I stop PSE 13 organizer from quitting unexpectedly when working with the PSE editor

    Every time I'm working in the editor I get  the error message "the organizer has quit unexpectedly" I have uninstalled and reinstalled as per chat supports recommendation with no improvement. I have studied the Adobe support information and don't see anyone else having the same issue. Would love to hear from someone who may have an idea for me!  Thanks in advance

  • Monitor goes crazy when I adjust the angle...

    When I tilt my monitor back away from me, at a certain point the picture scrambles or sometimes the screen goes white until I tilt the monitor closer towards me. Sometimes it takes a couple of seconds to get the picture back, but it always has come back thus far.
    I assume a cable on the inside is getting pinched. Is there an inexpensive way to fix this or am I looking at a major repair???

    Hi Avidediter,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe that you are having a problem with your reed switch, which usually cause symptoms that you are experiencing. You should bring it to your local Apple Store/Reseller to get it looked at and fixed. Did you purchase AppleCare?

  • Preuut and postuut sequences are not executing when run using UI. They run when using the sequence editor.

    I am using TestStand 3.5 and LabVIEW 8 in a Windows XP environment.
    I have a sequence that runs properly when run from the sequence editor.  I have made a few minor mods to the simple Operator Interface that ships with TestStand.  When I run my sequence using the modified Operator Interface, the PreUUT and PostUUT sequences do not execute.  Only the main sequence executes.  This also happens when I run the demo sequences that ship with TestStand.
    What am I missing?

    Hi,
    It sound like you are executing the sequences without the process model, do you get a report at the end of the execution?
    What are these minor mods you have done?

  • Effects in Multicam Angle Editor not Rendering

    When I add color correction (magic bullet looks) to a master clip in a multicam edit (so in the Angle Editor), the effect does not render either in the background or manually. The effect does appear, it just does not render.
    So, once I add the effect this way I can no longer edit or even get smooth playback in real-time with the multi-cam editor (it needs to render first). I expect that with Magic Bullet Looks, so I know I have to render once apply it. But it won't render unless I export it as a movie.
    I can add the color clip by clip instead in the regular timeline, but that can be very time consuming.
    Even if I wait to do color correction until the very end of my workflow, I still need to be able to render effects on muticam masters if possible.
    Are there some options I could try to get around this?

    It is kind of a difficult senario to explain, but I am trying with Red Giant to see if they have any thoughts on it.
    But I am thinking that in the multicam angle editor, you can only apply effects that your system can handle in real-time and not effects that would require rendering (at least until final output of a project).

  • Slide Clips in Multicam Angle Editor?

    Trying to help a friend learn multicam in FCP X, and he's run into an issue with the clip sync that's making him need to manually sync up one clip.
    Problem: clips can't move. They're snapping back to where they were before. Anybody know of a way to freely slide a clip in its angle in the editor?

    Normally when you open the multicam clip in the angle editor, the pointer defaults to Position tool, which lets you move the angles freely in the lanes. If this isn't happening for you press P for the Position tool.
    P.S. you can also nudge with comma/period or Shift-comma/period.

  • Crop command in multicam angle editor

    When I activate the crop command in the multicam angle editor the viewer screen goes black. The command functions but I cannot see a picture to evaluate what the crop will look like. When I am finished with the crop command the picture returns and I can see the resulting crop. It works fine on regular clips and even on the multicam clip in a project on the timeline. The only problem is in the angle editor. Weird.
    OS X 10.9.4 & FCPX 10.1.3
    Thanks

    I did a quick test and I have the exact same problem. In the Angle Editor, Trim works ok, but both Crop and Ken Burns turn the viewer black. They still work, but you're "blind" making the adjustments.

  • Problems colour correcting multicam in angle editor

    Hope someone can help:
    I'm trying to colour correct one of the multicam clips in the angle editor.
    When I click colour match and hover over the other clip part of this multi cam clip nothing happens and the 'apply match' button remains greyed out.
    I can colour match the individual cuts back in normal time line but of course I don't want to waste time doing it to every single clip/cut.
    Why won't it let me colour correct in angle editor?
    The mouse turns into a mini camera like icon when I hover over the clip i want to match to.
    Any ideas?

    I have spent the better part of today searching for solutions to this very same issue.
    Tom - I realize how awesome you are to this community - and have learned a great deal from you - but this link you posted has the same question posed but NOT answered -- there seems to be no solution.
    I have recreated this same issue.
    I can color match two clips in a timeline -- but cannot get the same exact work flow to work in the multi-cam clip.
    Basically it all works as expected right up until I click the clip I want to match -- when I do that - nothing happens and the apply match blue button stays greyed out.
    This is posted all over the forums at Creative Cow and here with no real solution.
    Surely something has happened to cause this on my part but I cannot figure out what.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Multicam only showing one angle in project, fine in angle editor

    As per the title really - the clip seems okay in the angle editor, but when I drag it into the project timeline, all angles apart from the primary are black.
    I've tried copying the project, deleting the clip and re-adding it and nothing seems to work.
    Any hints? I'm using the latest version of the Trial (10.0.0.8)

    Hmm. I restarted FCPX to take the pictures and it seems to be working fine now! I'm not honestly sure why. One possibility is copying the multicam clip worked, and I inserted the wrong one into my timeline. But in any case it seems like the original problem is resolved. Thank you for your help!

  • Multicam Angle Editor Clips Can't Be Moved

    I have a multicam clip and when I open it in the Angle Editor, I can't move any of the clips. They just snap back to where they were. For whatever reason, FCP X really fudged up the "auto" syncing of these clips and I have to move them around and sync manually.
    What's the secret?
    I can press , and . to nudge left and right but grabbing them and dragging them down the timeline isn't working.
    Thanks!

    That's it.
    Thank you so much for your time, Tom! Hope you are having a great day.

  • Full screen Angle Editor?

    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    I work off a 13" screen and when have 7+ angles to work with in multicam it can be frustrating - is there a way to just have the angle editor take up the whole screen or at least more of it (without adjusting the size of the clip)?
    Many thanks

    I do mean the Angle Editor... when you have multiple angles to move and sync. I want to have the full screen of different angles so easier to move them around and arrange them better
    You can enlarge the height reserved for the timeline quite a bit - up tp about two thirds of the screen height - by dragging. This way more angles can be seen at once without reducing their height.
    This of course will make the viewer (and browser area, if you have not hidden it) smaller, but you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.

  • How do I reconnect missing files in the Slideshow Editor?

    I created a slideshow and set up everything (pan/zoom, size, etc) and it worked fine.
    I saved the project before closing it and had created an output video at 800x600. For some reason I could not create the 1024x768 video.
    After shutting down for the night I tried to reopen it again and see if the 1024x768 would work. We will be showing this video on a 12 foot screen of this 1024x768 dimension pixel size… so I like to save it at that dimension.
    When I opened the “Slideshow Editor” many of the pictures were missing. I was able to reconnect the pictures in the “Organizer” but they are still missing in the “Slideshow Editor”. It appears that the pictures that are missing are all from one windows folder. Another folder contents are fine.
    FYI:
    For some reason the pictures had shown up as linked to my external drive… where I have my backup files.
    I did get them all linked (reconnected) in the Organizer to my C drive but they still do not show up in the “Slideshow Editor”. I did change (in windows) the file location of these files to get the project better reorganized. That probably kicked off the disconnect in the first place.
    Is there some way to get all of these pictures in the “Slideshow Editor” reconnected? It is going to take about 5 hours of work to redo this project if I can not reconnect to these files. Since it was so easy in the Organizer it seems like there should be a way to do this in the “Slideshow Editor”.
    I am using “Windows XP” and “Photoshop Elements 8”.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    I know i can do that... the point is i do not want to spend 5 more hours rebuilding the project.
    What you are suggesting is just that... starting over.
    I would like to correct the problem in the "Slideshow Editor".
