Color grade multicam clip?

I have a multicam clip that has about 7 different clips inside. Is it just my system, or do color adjustments inside the angle viewer not show up in the main project timeline? Shouldn't I be able to just grade my clips inside the Angle Viewer and have them show up in the main timeline versus having to go through and grade each cut in that main timeline?
Same goes for audio. Adjustments I do in the angle viewer don't do anything once I start cutting the multicam clip.
Thanks!

Thanks, Russ.
That's what I'm trying to do, yes.
It seems like it works but then sometimes it doesn't. Maybe I'm wrong.
The audio is weird too. I'll set the audio in the Angle Viewer to the levels I want, but the audio meter when I play the main timeline is different.
I'll see if I can figure out what's going on and report back. If anyone else is experiencing this, please reply.
Thank you!

  • Color Correcting Multicam Clip

    I have a two camera project.  I am color correcting the project.  I can see where doing the color work in the timeline would be very ineffective.  The Angle Editor would be a much more efficient way to go.  My problem is that once I open the Angle Editor I have each camera on line, one above the other, as I would expect.  I can color correct the upper one no problem.  When I select the lower camera clips they show in the viewer only while the cursor is over one.  As soon as I move the cursor to the color board the viewer switches to the upper camera clip.
    What am I doing wrong here ?
    I know I am going to fill really stupid once I find out the answer . 

    At the head of each lane in the angle editor is an icon that lets you select which clip appears in the viewer.

  • Color matching with multicam clips

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out how I can color match between my multicam clips in FCPX.  I'm kind of a newbie, but I'm trying... :-)
    If I double click on a multicam clip that I just created, I see all the clips expanded on the timeline.  At that point, I can sync, edit, etc.  If I color match there, it's very easy, and it works well.  The problem is that I can't figure out how to save all my edits and then "un-expand" the mulitcam clip so it's just the one layered clip (same as if you just drag the multicam clip down from the events list). 
    I suppose I could just leave it expanded - but it would be easier to work with if it was just the one multicam clip, instead of all the clips inside it expanded out.  So - how do I do it?  Am I making sense?  If the color matching applied to the actual event, it would be easy - and I could just create a new multicam clip and start a new project.  However, it doesn't work that way and only applies the color matching to the clip in the timeline (as it should....).
    Thanks for any help you might have.

    Hi Tom,
    I've got a similar problem to the one you helped on this thread.
    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 icon turns into a mini monitor when I hover over the clip i want to match to.
    Any ideas?

  • Clips are getting distorted after rendering a color grade; any solutions?

    I've been experiencing this problem as I've been learning to color grade.  Once I have all of my layers set the way I want them (initial correction, color alteration, masking, and sometimes adding a vinette) and I go to render, my clip will become completely distorted.  Is there any solution to this when it happens, or will I have to restart the grade completely?  Could there just be something I'm doing wrong in my workflow?  I'm open to any and all answers.

    Pure guess, do you have set in preferences high quality in playback.

  • Color grading retimed clips???

    I retimed some clips in the project timeline,
    arranged them, but now I cant color grade them…
    Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong ???
    Thanks

    It seems to me that you are not doing anything wrong.
    You should be able to apply color correction to a retimed clip.
    I can only suggest the usual: trash your preferences and try again.

  • Add keyframes color-correcting a clip

    I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    When I try adding multiple sequential color corrections in a single clip, there is no way to add keyframes to each correction.
    In the video inspector the add keyframe symbol does not appear.
    In the show video animation window, if I clik "control k" the keyframe symbol does appear,  but if I add more than 1 keyframe only the last one is active, so I can only correct the entire clip.
    Is there any way to add more than 1 sequential correction  using keyframes, instead of cutting che clip into multiple segment and correcting each one of them?

    I have an RGB Channel Mixer that can be keyframed.
    First, I recommend turning on Video Scopes (RGB Parade) and turning off the Color board for the title (you do not want to accidentally color grade the title).
    RGB Channel Mixer is a title effect, so just drag it over the region you need to color "mix". You can use this effect in conjunction with the color board for the storyline clip. (Do not color correct the channel mixer!
    You can toggle the view with the channel mixer selected — type 'v'.
    You can download it here: RGB Channel Mixer
    It won't hurt to try it and if you don't like it - just delete it. (It's still a bit of an experiment at this point.)
    The effect works by mixing the red, green and blue channels separately against a black background solid. The Amount values use opacity to change the mix. The Boost values are different. They add a little "gain" in the channel. There's a subtle difference between the two. Contrast and Brightness controls are added to help with the lack of range assist (shadow, mids, highlights).

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

  • Fcx-creating multicam clip with two different frame rate

    I have created a multicam clip with 2 clips, one shot with iphone 3gs, 15 fps, and the otherone with a dslr

  • How to use two audio souces in one multicam clip

    I have a three cameras, and an additional audio source.  Making the multicam clip with of the four elements was easy, however I would like to use both the audio from two different sources at the same time.  Is this possible?  I know about switching the audio from one source to the other, but in some cases, I have talent on stage left and on stage right, and I need the audio pick up from both regardless of the video angle.

    You can do it this way.
    In the multicam select audio to left clip.
    Then find the right clip, detach its audio, take its audio & align it to the multicam clips.
    This way you have audio from let & right

  • How to mute ALL audio in one single go in an edited multicam clip?

    Hi there
    I'm having to replace some audio in an already edited multicam clip. (there are mulitple audio parts I'm replacing by the way)
    How can I mute ALL of the audio in one go, as I have about 400 cuts and am currently having to mute one by one per cut.
    thanks

    Easy. Select them all. In the inspector, click the Audio tab. Under "Channel configuration", uncheck the box which would say something like "400 selected clips".

  • How can I change the background color of black clips?

    "iMovie Help" says to double click (or "apple i" or file ⇒show info), then "Click the color box and choose a color for the clip". I get a "Clip Info" window, with "Name", "Media File", "Size", "Capture date", and "Duration", but it does not have a "Color box". I know this should be a simple task. Thanks to any for their time and expertise.
    

    Hi dosrio - what was the origin of the black clip? If it was a title 'over black' you are best to re-do it, with 'over black' unchecked.
    If it was really just an 'empty space' formed by dragging the existing clips to the right, then it must be first converted into a black clip (Control-Click it, and select 'convert empty space to clip'). Then double click it, and the resulting info box will include a colour selector. Note that this is a simple way of creating any colour clip you want. You must be in Timeline mode to create it, after which it will show up in both Timeline and Clips View.

  • How to replace a clip that is part of a multicam clip in FCPX 10.0.9

    I am having an issue with a project drifting out of sync in FCPX 10.0.9.  In the time line everything is in sync, however when I export a master .mov file the video drifts out of sync.  I believe this is because my main audio is an mp3 file.
    MY plan is to convert my mp3 audio to an AIFF file and replace it with the mp3 in my project.  The only problem is that this audio file was imported as part of an hour long musical performance and I took the part I needed  and made it a sub clip.  I then took the sub clip and made that part of a multicam clip.
    Is there anyway to replace this MP3 sub clip with my new AIFF file in the multicam clip?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    never good practice to 'bundle' clips, sticking compounds into compounds... and in very rare cases needed/could be done 'better' using the tools 'n features FCPX offer....
    Why not simply adding the new audio to your project timeline and synch it?

  • I get "Modified File" message with AVCHD clips after making Multicam clip?

    First off, this is only happening to some of the AVCHD clips, and typically not the same ones each time. I've tried trashing the files and re-importing because some clips imported as camera files. There is no DCIM folder in the footage folder. I've re-linked, restared, thrown out ALL the footage, the events, the projects and stared from scratch. The fresh import seemed a-ok this morning until I made the multicam clip.
    I selected "create optimized media" and "create proxy media" when I imported. I'm currently transcoding today's offensive clip again, as fcpx seems to think that is possible. Perhaps that will fix it this time, but I've been stuck in a continual cycle of the clips working and then disappearing and being replaced by various red error mesages for the last few days so I'd like to figure out what is wrong with my workflow.
    I tried archiving the AVCHD files before importing to the event, but fcpx can't see the files on the computer, so I have to use the version on my external drive. I'm also bringing in AVCHD files from an SD card, but so far today those ones have been fine. The multicam contains a sound file and footage from four cameras: a canon DSLR, a Panasonic GH2, and two Sonycams that create AVCHD files.

    There's no automatic way to do this.  You'll have to Match Frame the clips into the Source Monitor, find the In/Out timecodes, then load the new clip with audio and go to those same timecodes to set In/Out points. and add just the audio to the sequence.

  • Multicam Clips in the Timeline and Image Stabilization

    I've got a multicam clip in my timeline that I would like to use image stabilization on. What I'd like to do is:
    double click on the clip which brings up the angle editor with the range and angle selected.
    press cmd-B to blade the clip
    turn on image stabilization.
    Unfortunately, step one doesn't work. I'm forced to open up the angle editor and manually skim and search for the desired angle and time range. It would be okay if the playhead in the angle editor was slaved to the one in the timeline. Then when you went into the angle editor you'd be right at the desired source material, but no, the two seem to be independant of each other. It makes performing the task much slower and more tedious. So much so I am convinced more experienced users are going to know a quicker way to do it.
    So, does anyone know an easier work-around for this?

    Thank you Tom and Luis, but I'm not with any of this. I can add a clip to the timeline or insert a clip into it via the "arrow tools". If I attempt to shorten the clip IN the timeline there is a blank space representing the amount trimmed from the clip.
    I want the next clip along to that I've trimmed to automatically move along the timeline albeit shortening the total project duration.
    Pressing "A" on the keyboard doesn't achieve this.
    I simply click on the clip in the timeline  to highlight it with the yellow margin. I then click on one "edge" with the arrows symbol and drag the edge inwards. This then leaves the space I do not want.
    As for "Preferences" when I click this under "Final Cut Pro" i see nothing either relevant to this problem or that I could trash.

  • Multicam Clip Audio Channel config greyed out

    I shot an interview with two cameras.  One of those cameras had the audio (lav on left, boom on right).  That audio was imported as a stereo track on import, the angles where multicamed, and the edit happened.
    Now I have a timeline with all my audio playing in stereo (lav on left boom on right).  I want to change from stereo to dual mono so I can audio mix properly, but when I select the multicam clip in the timeline, the channel configuation in the inspector lists it as stereo and the dual mono option is greyed out. (don't know why they won't let me change here)
    I can go back to the event and select the multicam clip there and change it to dual mono and it will also change in the timeline.  So that seems like a work around, but I can't select MULTIPLE multicam clips in the event and batch change the channel config to dual mono.  Says "selected clips are from different multicam clips."
    Am I going to have to select every single multicam clip individually in the event browswer and change the channel configuration on each one? 

    As far as I understand it, you cannot switch a "container" clip like the multicam to dual mono since it contains a clip which is stereo inside it. This makes sense, as per se it is not the multicam that is stereo or not.
    You should make the change from stereo to dual mono in the actual AUDIO clip - either before creating the multicam, or after - in this case, after :-)
    Open the multicam clip in Angle Editor (control-click the clip in the timeline and choose "Open in Angle Editor").
    Now select the clip that contains the audio and make the change. Note that this WILL affect the relevant clip even outside the multicam.
