Multi-cam clip display in event viewer

I have been creating multi-cam clips for several projects.  I am noticing with some multi-cam clips, it is defaulting to an audio track as the monitoring angle.  When I double click on the clip and it appears in the timeline, I am able to change the monitoring angle to a video clip.  However, it never updates in the event browser.  Frequently before I edit, I will pore through clips and tag them.  How do you update monitoring angle so it is also displayed in the event browser?
As you can see from this screen grab, the monitoring angle is set on a video clip but when I watch the clip in the event browser, there is no video

I figured it out.  You can change what clip is showing the event browser by going under display and opening the angle viewer.  You can then pick which track to display.

  • When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

    when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

    here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
    here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

  • Multi-cam clips and favourites

    Have I understood this correctly?  If I have a long clip that I want to break down into 'sub-clips' I can only do so by selecting part of the clip as a favourite. If I now want to make a part of those long clips into a multi-cam clip, one would assume that one would 'favourite' each of the clips and then multi-cam them. However when I do that, the multicam process ignores the 'favourite' attribute and synchronizes the entire clip. This can take a long time. As soon as its done one then has to discard 90% of the labouriously created multi-cam clip. Or is there another way of doing this?

    That is not my experience. If you select "Show only Favorites" in the Event Browser, you will see only the parts marked as favorite.
    Now select the ones you want and create a new multicam clip. It should just use the favorite, not the whole clip.
    Actually, when I did that I used a particular keyword instead of marking as favorite, but I expect it should work as well. If not, then you can do as I did, and mark the portions of the clips you want with an appropriate keyword.

  • Color adjustment on Multi-cam clip in 10.1 not working and crash the app

    In version prior to 10.1, I can do color adjustment on multi-cam clip and I can see the color change right away.
    However, when I do the same action in 10.1, the change doesn't reflect immediately on the viewer. I need to move like a frame to have the effect shown. Sometimes, FCPX shows an error when I do that action and force me to quit the application.
    Anyone having similar issue?
    Any solution?

  • Collapse multi-camera clips?

    Hello forum,
    I've said before that I think FCPX multi-cam function is superior to anything else I've used (FCP7 and Premiere) - however, there is a feature of the old FCP7 that I REALLY miss, especially when finishing a show (after the multi-cam edit is done) - when doing sound mixing, titles/thirds, and color grading - "COLLAPSE MULTI-CAM CLIPS." This function disabled multi-cam editing, collapsing the multi-cam clip into a normal segment. When editing a multi-cam clip, the machine is pulling all of the angles in simultaneously during playback, and since I often edit on USB3 externals this is spotty when using 2 angles, and a train wreck of dropped frames when using 3 or more. I am happy to do the multi-cam edit using proxy media, but it would be great to be able to go back to original media, collapse the multi-cam clip, and be able to play-back in real-time without all the gglittching!
    Does anyone out there have an obvious tip or solution to this issue?
    Thanks!

  • How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

    I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

    I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
    You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
    1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
    2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
    3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
    4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
    5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
    That should be it.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't get sync'd multi cam Clip.

    I'm shooting with 2 cameras, both with audio.  I highlight the clips, right -click and select new multicam clip and use audio waveform to sync.  Instead of getting 1 synced multicam clip with both (camer) angles (clips) showing in the viewer, I get a multiclam clip with the 2 (camera) clips (angles) in sequence: one after the other,  Ive also tried syncing with markers as the starting point, but the same thing happens.
    The workaround is to make  synchronized clip, open it in the timeline, and carfully hack out one camera to reveal the other. Ouch.
    Anybody?

    I am having a similar issue. My system and FCP are latest updates.
    I have a set of clips shot with one tripod camera for the full length, and what looks like one or two other "roving" cameras getting closeups and other angles, but start and top points (not runnign the entire interview). Effectively these are B roll with matching audio.
    If I run Sync Clips, it makes a huge mess piling them all one atop another. The audio souds like a party, not a conversation with two people.
    When I make a Multicam clip, FCP does a "pretty good job" but some short clips are WAY out of sync...
    Then it becomes a puzzle to find where they go.
    Is there a keyboard shortcut for monitoring the video of the track on which I have just clicked the clip it's on? the one Multiclip when I am done?

  • Using video filters on multi-cam clip

    I was at an Apple Store on Saturday trying to get some instruction on using a video filter to brighten up some portions of a multi-cam timeline. We weren't able to do it. Does anyone know whether filters can or can't be used when using Multi-cam editing?

    Do you have this checked on in preferences?
    Depending on your format, the application will probably work much more efficiently with an I-frame codec, but it depends on the speed of your computer, drives, and the number of angles.

  • No waveforms when using Multi-camera clips!

    I'm editing with multicam clips.
    The audio is from separate WAV files, with 3 tracks.
    When I cut some of the multiclip into a timeline, it does NOT display any waveforms.
    I could've sworn last time I did this, it DID show waveforms.
    Even when I display the waveform for the multiclip in the Source monitor, it shows NOTHING, even though audio does play.
    I tried deleting all the waveform peak files / caches, then Pr rebuilt them, but still shows nothing.
    Anyone have a solution??
    The ONLY place the waveforms DO show is when viewing the actual Multicam source sequence in the timeline.
    (Pr 7.2.1 on Mac 10.9.1)

    I figured it out ...
    You MUST set the panning of the tracks in the Multiclip sequence to Left/Right alternating (these are mono tracks), and set the stereo outputs (or "Direct Output Assignment") for all tracks ... e.g.,
    Track 1 > Left 100 > 1+2
    Track 2 > Right 100 > 1+2
    Track 3 > Left 100 > 3+4
    etc..
    If you try to set the tracks as if they were truly Mono/Centered, then your destination sequence does not show waveforms correctly.
    A bug, if you ask me...

  • My multi-cam clip went missing...

    I just had to re-import all of my media to an event for a music video I'm editing, but one of the main clips I was using was a multicam clip... I've searched for it all over my computer, but it's no where to be found. So, where does Final Cut Pro X save multicam clips to?

    Is the drive that this data was on connected ?
    Try clicking on a clip and try to 'relink' and have a look where it expects the clip to be, and make sure the data is indeed in that place.
    By the way, I completely unerstand the various woes and frustration you're having... I have other , different issues !
    all the best,

  • Multi-Cam Clip Skipping, Dropping Frames

    When I use this function, the video starts skipping although the audio remains constant. I only have 4 clips and an audio file imported, how can I get around this? I've tired doing research and I've heard it might help to convert the files from Pro Res to something else (if that's the case then how do I do this?)... Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    It's usually caused by not having a fast enough computer or hard drive.
    I assume you are using a separate drive for your media?
    Try converting your video to ProRes PROXY as it will ease the burden onyour Mac.

  • Deleting Multi Cam & Compound Clips- Help!

    How can you delete multi cam clips from an event? Am I missing something? How can one type of clip be undeletable? It makes the whole event undeletable?
    I've duplicated my project & used clips only which has now created a new event with only the used clips, great! So I'd like to delete the old event with all the original media and I can't
    So frustrating can anyone help?

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for taking the time out to reply,
    But that means that you can never delete an event... ever if it contains a single multi cam, how do you get around that?
    The whole reason I wanted to delete the event in the first place is because I'm trying to archive a project with the clips used only. So now I have two events, one with all the original stuff and one with just the select few clips. I think I'll go into more detail with this on the other thread about this since you've just tackled that one also.
    Many thanks!

  • Multi Camera Troubleshooting help

    I am having trouble getting my Multi camera editing to line the clips up with the audio.  I have one of the tracks sync to good audio. All the other tracks have audio, i have the sync audio selected but Multi camera tracks sync to the head and don't line up with the audio. I think I am doing everything correctly. I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me. Thanks.
    Joe

    do a secondary click (left) with your mouse on the multi-cam clip in your event library and pick "open camera editor" in the context menu
    then you see all your clips like a stack
    now you determine the main angle by clicking in this symbol:
    then you select a clip so that it appears with a yellow frame around it and do a secondary click (left) with your mouse again (context menue opens) on this button (the triangle on the right):
    and choose "Sync Angle to Monitoring Angle" (i hope that's the expression in the english version)
    .... then a process bar appears in the upper area of FCPX and then the clip you selected before suppose to be sync with the main angle/camera ... therefore it will be most likely shifted in a certain direction
    hope you can understand my explanation

  • Clip audio gets quieter after enabling multi-cam.

    I have a sequence with two video tracks and one stereo audio track (recorded separtely and synced), and placed it into my "main" sequence for editting. Before enabling multi-cam, the audio levels are noticibly higher, and once setting multi-cam to enable, the volume levels drop about 2-3db. I then have to raise the volume to compensate for that. Is this a bug or something particular about the way multi-cam clips are handled?
    Steve

    This is normal.  Multicam by default only uses Audio 1 of the source sequence.

  • Multi Cam Not Working For Me

    I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 on a new 2013 Mac Pro. I'm sure it's a user error, but here's the problem. When I create a multi cam clip, I'm not seeing two camera angles in my viewer. I am definitley turning "view angles" on. Here's what I'm seeing.

    I'm not sure what you mean by extended view but here is a look at each of the original clips inside inspector.
    I mean at the bottom of the Inspector, where you see "Basic", click and choose "Extended".
    The fact that you are not sure suggests to me that maybe the angle names are not set right after all.
    See the picture below. You need different angle names to tell FCP X that the clips must be in different angles.
    (Sometimes the software figures it out on its own, sometimes it doesn't - so I always tell it specifically :-))
