Corrupted Event in Multicam Edit

I got a corrupted event in a huge Multicam edit of a musical show. Final Cut Pro X crashed and it didn't restart unless I removed the Event from the Event-Folder. Now I can still open the projects (I had to seperate the show into two projects) and see the editing I have done, but as the event is missing all media is missing (event missing).
Final Cut created a new Event out of the files but my Multicamclip is missing (of course). I found the old files in the trash and backed them up.
I don't believe I could get my event back (or working) but I like to know if there is any way to create a new multicam clip and relink that, so my editing isn't lost (I had to do some manual changes on the multiclip to work with it).
I already tested a different Mac and I had a backup of the Project files, but not of the event as the event-folder is 300GB in size.

I already tried. Doesn't help.
What I actually did (at least for the first part) to make a new multicam clip and project. Export the old and new project with XML, do some code copying and tweaking, reimport the XML and than resync (it was a few frames off) the multicam clip.
Now I'm looking for a fast way to copy the effects (color correction) from the old project but I might have to copy it one cut at a time...

  • Multicam editing: Can't get blade to show in angle viewer when trying to edit in Timeline

    This problem just appeared. I have done lots of multicam editing in FCPX, it works great.
    But, today I started on a new video and:
    - I created the first multicam clip, it looks fine.
    - I created a Project and appended the multicam clip into the Project, it looks fine.
    - I see all the Angles in the Angle Viewer, it looks normal.
    - I select the Event Browser and hit play, all angles play. I move the curser over an angle and I see a hand, just as I should. everything fine so far.
    - I click in the Timeline and hit the space bar and the selected angle and audio start to play..........BUT the angles in the angle viewer do NOT play. Not right.
    - With the Timeline still selected, I move the curser over an angle in the angle viewer, and i see the hand, NOT the Blade.
    So, FCPX thinks I am still in the Event Browser, even though when I click in the Timeline, the Timeline background color changes to light grey, which says I am in the Timeline. FCPX is not letting me go into the Timeline (even though the background color changes).
    I have to be doing something dumb, but I don't see it.
    Any suggestions?

    Turns out that was EXACTLY the problem --- I kept looking around and finally discovered the problem was that I was NOT in a project (although I thought I was).
    Nevertheless, thank you for responding.

  • Calendar Crash - Corrupt Event - No Solution Works - Need Suggestions

    While entering a new event on the iPhone, the calendar crashed. Now that event is corrupted and causing loads of problems.
    . Every time I view that day, the calendar crashes.
    . Every time I try to view that event (ie, to delete it), the calendar crashes.
    . Sync no longer working.
    The corrupt event does not appear either on iCal or the Mobile Me calendar.
    I have tried the following (in this order of escalation).
    . Reset the phone (home & sleep buttons). Corrupt event remains.
    . Restore the iPhone.
    . Turn off calendar sync on the iPhone, wired sync with settings to overwrite the iPhone calendar.
    . Delete the Mobile Me account (and thus the calendar) and recreate it.
    . Selected the option Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings.
    The closest I got to a fix was after "Erase All Content and Settings." After waiting the necessary 2 hours for the Erase to complete, the corrupted event was gone. But as soon as I performed the Restore, it was back (even though the event does not appear in the iCal).
    I tried calling support, but the phone wait is unending.
    Suggestions for what to do?

    Exact same problem here.
    I had to re-accommodate my schedule due to a late night at the office. As soon as I changed the time from 9:30am - 4:30pm to 9:30am - 9:00pm Calendar crashed. It added the new item, but has no color association. Now I can't edit or delete this item. I have this wonky calendar item that just reads "Office 9:00". It's not even complete, because Calendar crashed before I could finish the item edit.
    I tried everything mentioned in this thread, from syncing, to pushing to manual update I even tried restoring from a back-up. Nothing. It's driving me crazy, every time I try to go to delete the thing calendar crashes on me. I've tried everything short of a clean restore, but I'm not willing to do that, my phone is my life.
    Someone please help, and if anybody from Apple reads this, please please help us!

  • Multicam editing in premier pro cc 2014, problem with one camera display size

    Although the clip works fine in a sequence all by itself in multicam editing it is much too large and only a portion displays.  The other camera is fine.  The clips are from different types of cameras 1 is a DSLR, it displays too large, the other is a Sony PD 1570, a pro videocam  that uses tape, it displays fine.

    Have your tried re-ingesting the media.  It's possible the file(s) are corrupt.  I run into this on occasion, especially if the results shows up in the render (which is a dead give-away to file corruption) and re-ingesting fixes it.
    It's also possible that the drive the file resides on has issues as well.  Are you using a raid?  We need more information regarding the specs of your machine and process.

  • How to sync audio to existing multicam edit?

    Hi, I have done a multicam edit of my wedding from 4 different angles. SInce there was a lot of background noise, I have cleaned the audio track from one of the clips on an external program and imported it to FCPX.
    What's the best way now to sync that audio to the existing edit? I only see options to sync clips in the event browser but that won't affect the timeline edit.
    Your help if appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks Tom,
    Do you know the best way to set markers when using multi cam clips? Is it better to set the marker to one of the clips before creating the multi cam clip, or set them to the actual multi cam clip?
    Thank you!

  • Multicam Editing reloaded

    Hi!
    I do understand and have used grouping multiple clips into a multiclip to use the multiclip editing feature of FCP or in my first life Avid.
    You sync up a bunch of camera angle by timecode or inpoints. If all the cameras rolled all the way trough the event and the clip from each cameratape is roughly the same lenght its a breeze and fun to edit a concert or live event. So far so good.
    A few weeks back someone dumped a heap of tapes onto my desk. Live footage from five 1,5h gigs with up to 12 cameras. My obvious choice was using multiclips until I found out how fragmented all the cameraclips were. Apart from having to change tapes in the middle of the gig, the cameramen switched on and off all the time, so syncing with multiclip is not an option.
    I spent two days hand-syncing all the camera-angles and all the little snippets of switching cameras to the soundtrack and now I have a sequence with 12 videotracks (1 per camera-angle) on top of each other, all synched to the audio with blacks, where the respective cameras were not running.
    Now here comes my question: Is there a way to turn this sequence into a multiclip for using the built in multiclip feature of FCP? Hand-editing between 12 cameras for five 1,5 hour gigs of norwegian death metal with 3 seconds long cuts will be a nightmare without multicam editing.
    Exporting all the camera-tracks and reimporting and multiclipping is not an option, because I don't have enough discspace and loose the ability to batch-capture.
    thanx for any help
    Florian

    I will add that a 12 camera gig isn't much different from a 3 camera gig. You can look back a few weeks and see four or more similar threads involving broken streams from many cameras. There are at least two ways to fix that, nest sequences or build self-contained movies that have slugs between the camera footage to replace the stops and restarts.
    did you mention the cutting pace? MTV-style 60 cuts a second or more lyrical? I'd start with figuring out who is the best photographer in the lot, assume you're using his/her stuff for most of the prime coverage.

  • Multicam editing - angles in multicam don't show video

    Hi, I have FCX 10.0.8 and when I create multicam event and make sure the clips are syncronized and angles underneath each other. The angles viewer set to 2 or more angles doesn't show the video as I play it or scroll through it at all!
    I used that before for multicam editing no problem. I created new apple library files, reinstaled the system and uninstaled and instal new final cut x again in order to fix it, no joy..
    Thinking if any plugin could cause it or previous magic lantern issues.. anyone can HELP PLEEEEASE??

    I thought of posting it, well hoping someone know what to erase, reinstal or do, as I nearly tried everythink, sure it will be a some weird small thing in the end..:(  here is the screenshot with opened video in angle viewer, cursor
    set to see both angles. only black windows..
    here is the second screenshot with cursor in the same place with angles editor closed.
    any ideas why is it still showing black windows in viewer?

  • Multicam editing with multi-track audio?

         Does anyone know how to do multicam editing with multi-track audio?  Apparently, the multicam editor can only see Audio Track #1 in the Source Sequence.  I tried mixing my original audio tracks #1, #2, and #3 (submixes) to the master audio track in the Source Sequence and if I listen to the new Multicam Sequence (the nested Source Sequence) all 3 original audio tracks are there (combined), but when I go to do the multicam edit in the multicam monitor window, I"m back to just Audio Track #1 of the Source Sequence and audio tracks #2 and #3 are missing ???  Thanks for your help!

    I have run the gambit of different techniques. The one that is most efficient is listed in Colin Brougham's response number 9
    There's a far easier way to do this: after you sync your angles, hold down Alt/Opt and select or lasso just the video portions of the clips, and nest those. The audio stays put, but the video moves into the nest, and you can then enable Multicam on the nested sequence.
    One of the best things about this is that it circumvents Premiere Pro's totally BS "Render Required Files" nonsense.
    I must admit the ALT lasso tip was one of the best features I have seen. Like a revelation when I discovered it some months ago while watching a tutorial about something not related. As far as the "Rendering required files" That was kicking my but for a while doing multicam editing. If you do edit both audio and video in multicam you might find the "Rendering required files" issue. Basically the problem stems from having a lot of cuts to process at the same time both audio and video. 1080P is a huge amount of data when you multiply it by four cameras plus multiple audio cuts and effects ,(audio gain, Deessing etc.) So Pre-rendering the audio by clicking in the main sync timeline and then at the top Click Sequence/Render Audio.This takes care of the issue when you are cutting multiple tracks at once. It is a good practice to work from a main sync sequence and then copy that to a new sequence  preserving the main sequence as unchanged. I found the solution is to "render audio" only in the master sync sequence this will then pass through to all subsequent copies that are made "downstream" allowing you to easily clean up anything. If you make a mistake you can always start from the main sync sequence and not lose too much time. Takes a little bit of time to render but once that is done you can cut all tracks video and audio like butter. I have been doing a lot of 1080p multicam editing over this past year and had quite learning curve. Most of the work I do is multicam editing by choice it is much faster for me to edit this way because I am used to working in live events where we need to look at all shots at the same time make a "best choice" and keep rolling. Have fun with it!

  • Switching audio in multicam editing

    I need to switch to the audio on a second camera while doing multicam editing. I can't seem to get the audio off of the fixed camera. Any ideas?

    With the Multicam Viewer open (CMD-SHIFT-7), you will see 3 icons in the top left of the viewer pane.
    Select the third icon to edit audio only.
    That said, if you are trying to delete a portion of the audio track, you can only do this in the Angle Viewer. Double click the multicam clip in the Event Browser. It will open up a new timeline with angles for each camera with audio attached, or individual audio clips. You should be able to mute selections of audio in the master clip with the range tool.
    Does that answer your question?

    on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

    Thanks for your reply
    I solved my problem,
    Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
    - Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
    - Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
    - Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
    - Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
    - Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
    - Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
    - Delete iPod Photo Cache
    - Close finder
    - Empty trash
    - Reconnect iphone
    - Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
    After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
    Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
    In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
    Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
    Thanks

  • Multicam Edit/Can't See Video on Canvas

    I'm doing a six-cam multicam edit. Everything was going perfect until my hand accidentally hit the keyboard. I don't know which key(s) I hit.
    Not I can't see my video on the Canvas and my multiclips clips won't play in synch in the Viewer. I do hear the audio when I play the Timeline.
    I opened another clip and it won't play. Nothing will play in the Canvas.
    What the heck did I hit and how do I fix it? I'm working on a MacBook. All my video is on an external G Drive connected with a FireWire 800 cable.

    Thank you. I can't believe that. After so many projects I didn't even know that could happen.
    What a relief. I'm an hour into this 90 minute musical. I was dreading having to start again.
    Again... thanks.

  • CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

    I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system.  I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time.  But I don't want to get rid of them either.  Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother?  Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want?  The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible.  I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
    Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

  • How to extend clips after multicam editing.

    I recently learned how to use multicam editing and I think it is such a fantastic tool. One of the things that I struggled with, however, is the ability to extend/shorten one of the clips because the footage was too shaky during the transition to another clip.
    For example: Clip A is playing and recording on the timeline. But Clip A becomes shaky so I switch to Clip B. After everything is done, and I play it back, I see that shaky footage towards the end of Clip A.
    How do I extend Clip B so that it extends over Clip A to get rid of the shaky footage?

    The "Roll" tool. Click between 2 clips and roll the edit left or right.

  • Multicamera Edit Lags in PPro CS4

    Hi,
    I am experiencing cumulative delays when making multicamera edits using the multicamera window in CS4.  I am about halfway through a 2 hour video, and with 2 or 3 streams of HDV 23.976 (Canon) video everything plays fine in the Multicamera window when starting up PPro fresh.  As soon as I press a key to switch active streams, the video starts playing very jerky, and it takes 2-3 seconds for the red highlight box to switch to the selected stream.  If I continue on without stopping and continue to keyboard select the active multicam window, the delay becomes longer and longer before the red highlight switches to the active stream. And the playback remains jerky.  If I stop playback, and start again everything is smooth until I select a different stream in the multicamera window.
    Playback of the completed multicam edited sequence from the timeline is fine - no issues at all.
    I am running a Core i7 3.0GHz processor with 3GB RAM and multiple SATA 7200K hard drives.
    Any thoughts on what may be causing this?  I don't remember having this type of multicam edit performance degradation with CS3 on a less powerful machine.

    Does any of this help?

  • FCP 5.0 Multicam editing and main sound

    I have 3 angles shots. How do I leave a main sound from camera 1 in the time line when when I do multicam editing?
    Do I first do only video cuts and bring the main sound in or it can be done differently?
    Thanks.

    I didn't feel like going through the manual either on this one --- here's what I do, which is by no means the easiest automatic thing.
    After I drag my multiclip to the timeline, I grab the track I want audio from and place it with the multiclip. A couple locks & unlocks, a couple of deletes, and I've got the multiclip video with the audio from the track I want audio from.
    It's not the automatic thing, but I generally am working with 2+ hour long multiclips, and only have to go through this once per project.
