Fine-tuning multiclip edits

I've created a multiclip with footage from 2 cameras at a concert. The two angles are synced, and once I figured out how to switch between the cameras while playing back, I was able to make a rough edit of the entire show easily.
Now, though, I want to fine-tune the cuts and I am at a loss as to how to do this. I am an FCP newbie and it doesn't seem that any of the edit types available (slide, ripple, etc.) are appropriate for a multiclip. I need to make precise adjustments of the points where the video goes from one camera to the next.
Any suggestions?

If you collapse the multiclip (Choose Modify > Collapse Multiclip(s)) the clips become the same as if they weren't mulitclips.

How can I use ALL audio tracks in multiclip editing?

I want to be able to use all audio tracks after the multiclip cut.
It's only a two camera shoot, but I want to be able to use the ambient room sound from the second camera ... and control its level (in relation to the master audio track on the first camera) AFTER the cuts are made.
Is this possible in multiclip editing? And how does one go about it?
Apologies. I've spent an hour or so in the manual, and it isn't clear ... or I'm just not finding the right reference.
All ears,
Ben

Sorry if I'm steering you down a path you don't want to go or even if there's a better way but I wouldn't be ding complex audio mixing anywhere near the multiclip interface. Export your reference movie or nest the multiclip project into another sequence, bring in your additional tracks, get to work. Just my preferences, I put a bunch of rough keyframes in the audio tracks and enter some markers (and make a lot of paper notes). Then I go back using the large mixer window to do the fine tweaking.
Stick around for a couple of days, some other multiclip users with more experience than I will offer some more useful suggestions.

Multiclip editing not cutting, Markers dissappear when stop playing

Im doing a multiclip edit for the first time and im having issues!
I have the 3 angles i need set up and sync in a multiclip and can get it playing fine ie viewer has the 3 angles playing at once and select angle is showing in the canvas. I play the clip and begin to add cut points (by clicking on angle when i want to change to it) a marker appears in the timeline as it should but when i stop playing all the markers disappear and im back to square-one again!!!!
As far as i can tell the setting are correct, i have the viewer set to open and multiclip playback enabled and all looks great it just wont insert the cut points!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I'm no longer using 5.x, but I remember some odd bug with multiclips doing only a Switch to (instead of a Cut to) which results in the behavior you're mentioning: the markers disappearing as soon as you stop playback. I believe the issue was either related to being in a customized, but unsaved custom keyboard layout.
I guess what I'm saying is: does going to Tools > Keyboard Layout and selecting either layout (Default or Multiclip) affect the issue?

Configurable Code-list not Extendable in Fine-Tuning.

Hi
I am facing some problems while changing the values in Code-list while using fine tuning process in Configuration. I have created three code-lists and then being added to configuration using BAC.
In this BAC I have created one business Topic and three separate business options. Each business option is linked with each bcc (business Configuration Set).
Now when I go to and “Edit project scope” I am able to get the code list on my UI using extension fields and values are there too. But the problem I am facing is that in “Open Activity list” when I open the Business Options NOT all the options are opening properly.
Although I have got some of them opening fine and let me make changes while others are showing errors.
Any Advice Please.
Many thanks in Advance.
Regards
Asad

Yes i have regenerated now and still the same problem is there.
Yes the flag has been selected in the BC SET.
in Fine tuning there is slight difference in BOTH BC views.
One with normal behavior only shows the code in code list while the one with Issues/Problems is showing code & Description in same CODE column while some Times it does show only code though??
Any guess here?
Regards
Asad

Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 not available?

I'm using the Trial version of Aperture 2.1.2 and tried editing FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro raw images. For Raw Fine Tuning, only versions 1.0 and 1.1 could be selected (and thus sliders such as "Recovery" are unavailable). I did a Software Update (which installed Raw Converter 2.5), and I restarted my system. No apparent change: only 1.0 and 1.1 are the choices.
Does this mean that Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 is not available for FinePix S2 Pro raw images?

Perhaps...
I can understand if Apple chooses not to support or to discontinue support for a particular image type, especially given the Fuji circumstances. And I appreciate the ability to do a 30-day free trial. I guess where I got a little irked is that I had to spend time troubleshooting a problem I thought should have been documented (it is not a bug; it was a decision that affects the availability of product features).
Thanks for the replies, Brian.

Latest batch of RAW files has all the raw fine tuning options greyed out

I shoot about 1000 images a week with my 40d and edit/organize all of them in Aperture... the latest batch (a pretty important batch at that) of 800 or so imported fine but does not allow me to use the 'Raw Fine Tuning' options as if they are JPGs. I can still go to the images i imported last week and the RAW fine tuning works fine, even some in the same album... any ideas?
Aperture 1.5.6

more informaion:
today's images imported fine, so you can rule out the security patch.
even more peculiar i exported some of the images, and imported the same masters back in and much to my suprise the RAW fine tuning works. I rebuilt the library hoping that would help but it didn't, I'm just going to go back through the library and re-tag and rate my picks from the shoot, but any idea on how to keep this from happening again? it has to be some wacky setting or something, I can export the broken image and the import it again and it works fine.
any help would be appreciated

RAW fine tuning v. general adjustments

I edit RAW images in Aperture2.
What is the difference between making edits in the "RAW fine tuning" window as opposed to the general adjustment windows? (for example, what difference is there between sharpening in RAW fine tuning v. general shapening adjustments.)
Is this related to "decoding" RAW images? What does that mean?

The RAW fine tuning drop down menu allows you to choose between two RAW converters/decoders....the one that Apple used in Aperture 1 and the one Apple uses in Aperture 2. I've never written a RAW converter, but I imagine it's like choosing between two developers when developing your film. They both produce an image from the RAW data but will do so slightly differently and you might prefer the result of one over the other. Chances are, the v2.0 RAW converter will be better just like an Agfa developer from 2000 is likely to be better than one from 1970.
The adjustments you make using the sliders sit on top of the basic image you get from the RAW conversion. The adjustments themselves shouldn't be any different in RAW 1.0 or 2.0, but because RAW 1.0 produces a subtly different base image to 2.0, the end result will be slightly different.
I'll be honest; I've never really looked for or noticed a difference between RAW 1.0 and 2.0, but there must be one or two.

Raw fine tuning reverts back to older version

HI
I've spent the last couple of days editing several hundred files, they were originally imported before AP2 was released, so would have been using RAW file tuning version 1.1.
However I selected each one individually Removed all adjustments, which automatically gives it the Version 2 Raw Fine Tuning.
Today when I review the edited files, they have all reverted back to Raw Fine Tuning 1.1, the adjustments are still there, however the Recovery and Black Point sliders are greyed out. I'm using the Nikon D2Xs, so I know Version 2 is compatible.
Any ideas as to how this happened would be most welcome, and how to resolve this without having to go through each file again individually.
As a side note, there are a few files which have retained the Version 2 decoding, I am suspecting that these are one's where I have manually selected the decode rather than automatically via Remove All Adjustments.
Thank for any advice.
Kiran

What do you mean by 'migrating them'. I was under the impression that when Aperture 2 was first installed, it automatically migrated everything in the library.
Definitely NOT, thank the deity-of-your-choice! That would mean that all your old images would change appearance, in some cases drastically. Given that what you see in Aperture are effectively 'virtual' images that don't exist as regular files until you export them this would be a mess-up of monumental proportions.
All RAW files adjusted using the old RAW 1.1 decoding continue to use 1.1 until you change them, either by 'manually' choosing a different version of the decoding engine in the RAW Fine Tuning adjustment brick or by going to File>Migrate Images...

HI,
Remove the select endselect the select all the entries into internal table then from tat internal table select by using for all entries into another internal table. for eq -
IF NOT s_vbeln[] IS INITIAL.
SELECT vbeln cmgst
        INTO TABLE itvbuk
        FROM vbuk
        WHERE vbeln IN s_vbeln.
DELETE itvbuk WHERE cmgst NE 'B' AND cmgst NE 'C' .
ENDIF.
IF NOT itvbuk[] IS INITIAL.
SELECT *
         FROM vbap
         INTO TABLE itvbap
         FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itvbuk
         WHERE vbeln EQ itvbuk-vbeln.
DELETE itvbap WHERE vkgru NE '101' AND NOT vstel IN shp_pt.
ENDIF.
Like wise modify the logic and check the secondary index is available for the where clause which you will be specifing.

To extend a clip I have `Show Fine Tuning controls' turned on in my iMovie 11 preferences, but the blue forward/backward buttons don't appear. To get the orange handle bar, is there a hotkey?

Help with multiclip editing in FCP

Can someone please help me with multiclip editing. I have followed all the steps in the tutorials I have watched but I am unalble to switch between the two angles in the time line. Also the red line in the time line is telling me to render everything first . Is that normal or is it because I am using the 5.0 version of FCP?

To switch between angles, the timeline should not be rendered. Once you render it, it may play more smoothly, but you can't switch.
Also, sometimes you may have trouble switching many HD files, so it might work better to use Media Manager to make lower resolution proxies for your editing, then bringing the full-res files back for your final output. If the computer can't handle the load, it may refuse to do multiclip editing.
Finally, you may need to switch Playhead Sync back to "Open" from time to time. For some reason, the Viewer sometimes switches to "Sync Off".
By the way, your question actually belongs on the Final Cut Studio forum:

Multiclip editing does not update Canvas window with active angle

Hi,
I am trying to do some multiclip editing but for some reason when cutting between angles the canvas viewer does not update with the video. Once I stop playback the cuts are all created properly and the video changes when playing back again. However, when editing the video does not change to the active angle. The audio changes but the video does not.
I have the multiclip playback setting in RT enabled and the canvas and viewer windows synced and matching each other when playing back, and video + audio is set in the sync menu.
I'm now stuck! and would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks
Phil

Welcome to the family.
I don't mean to brush you off because I understand your frustration. But what we know about mutliclip is that it really does work, if you follow the rules completely. We also know that most of the "multiclip doesn't work" posts are resolved by encouraging the user to be objective and to simply recheck the setup steps in the manual, one at a time. (Editorially speaking: There are too many of them, there are too many stupid gotchas in the multiclip setup. True. Hope springs eternal that FCP6 may fix many of these things. It should be a one-click solution.)
You can search for multiclip here and, after filtering out the nonsense from elitists like me, you should be able to detect something in your configuration that might be keeping you from getting the performance you are expecting.

Fixing Radio: Fine tuning songs (Hits, Variety or Discovery Mode)

Our radio has always been weird, you never know what songs it plays, and it always REPEATS THE SAME GOD darn SONG over the past hour.
It's time to fix it.
If you've tried, or at least clicked into an app of a competing service, this is how it looks like:
You can kinda tune the station to WHAT YOU LIKE, for eg, Hits, Variety, or Discovery and the radio will adapt what you want to hear.
Here's another example (A not very solid example though):
As you may know, Echo Nest is now a Spotify company, anyway, this shows the radio where you can slide to whether artist only or discovery in general (This might not be a good example, as if I just wanted to listen to the artist, I would've just went into the artist page and click on Shuffle Play.)
Here's another example:
This is a relatively new music service, but if you've tried its radio, you wil find out that its really really spectacular. You can tell the service what is your mood and it plays songs based on that, but if that's not enough. It actually has brand new algorithms that is built just for this, I read somewhere that it even monitors your location, the songs you play in that location/event, the volume the song is playing and when you hit the radio mode, it will analyze all of this algorithms and play based on that.
So the radio needs improvements in its really bad algorithms and a fine tuning option.
PS: If you go the comments section of this idea, in page 2, bought up a really good visual of a competing music service vs Spotify when using the radio, if you've time you should take a look and if possible share more of the problems that you face with Spotify Radio.

"Improving Station" is a joke. I have a station based on Laura Nyro. I keep getting the same very popular Nyro songs (but even that rarely) and some other 60s, 70s, 80s female vocalists. Nothing newer. I also get a ton of stuff nothing like Nyro, including male vocalists and male bands. How many times do I reject anything of Elvis Costello before you stop playing it? Same for many other artists. You really need to track that if someone has rejected every one of an artist, quit playing that artist. Or, better, provide as has been suggested elsewhere here, a button "reject artist." I've nothing against Costello, or Lightfoot, or the Doobies, or Bread, or many of the artists you put forth on my Nyro station. I just don't want anything besides lilting female vocalists on my Nyro station. (As well as much more Nyro.) Your learning algorithms are a joke, song by song is useless-- I have to come running back to the computer to keep rejecting stuff, even though I've been trying to "improve" the station for weeks.
