Multi-Cam Tool only showing angles on pause...

Hello,
I know this has been discussed before, and I had posted on this too, however, I am still having problems, and had to finish my project 'manually', and could not use the multi-cam function, and am wondering if there is ANYTHING else I can do to rectify this. This is what I have done on my own:
Trashed my Preferences, however, I noticed that only 'Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs' and 'Final Cut Pro Prof Cache' loaded in again when I re-launched Final Cut. 'Final Cut Obj Cache' and 'com.apple.FCP.plist' did not get included. Does this matter? They are still in my Trash, as I have not emptied it.
I Collapsed/Uncollapsed my clips, rendered them since I was prompted to do so, set both the Viewer and the Canvas to 'Open', yet they both still play at the same time, in 'full' format. If I don't render, I can't play because of stuttering, then stopping.
RT Menu is set to 'Unlimited RT'; 'Scrub High Quality'; 'Dyamic'; 'Dynamic'; 'Multiclip Playback' and 'Full Quality'.
I read about putting in a 'null' effect, so as not to render, but then it stutters, then stops playing completely. Also, if I take the rendering out of Rendering Manager and continue w/out rendering, it's the same thing - not able to play until it's rendered.
If there's anyone who can help with this, I have seriously tried every avenue I can think of, and I haven't been able to get anywhere with this - sorry this so long, but needed to say what I've done, thanks in advance!

I tend to give my clients a rough cut with no filters applied. If they're happy with the cut, then we go through and add any necessary color correction, etc.
If you don't think your client could handle seeing a rough cut with no filters, the give it to them with the filters. Once they decide on some changes, throw out your render files, make your changes, and render again. Or, like you said, it shows the angles on pause. Pause it on the shot the client doesn't like and pick a different one.
As far as transitions, well of course it would only be able to show the selected angle. How would you suggest FCP creates a dissolve from one clip to four clips?

Multi-day events only showing up on first day of event in year view

There are several things about iCal that I find annoying (makes me miss my old Palm PDA sometimes), such as being able to set my own default meeting times, meetings being defaulted to all-day, no way to connect a contact to the event without having to invite them to join (my old Palm did this and it was a very useful tool). Each of these has many discussions already on these topics with a solution (except adding a contact to an event), such as simply typing in the meeting time when you setup the event.
However, I can't find a discussion on the following question, and therefore no solution. Hope someone out there knows the answer:
Why do Multi-day events only show up on the first day of the event in year view, and is there a way to change it?
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
Perhaps I'm not setting up my events as you are but I see a color for each day of my multi-day event.
My steps:
1. Add a multi-day event to iCal:
2. Switch to Year view and observe the matching date range (26th - 29th):
Suggestions:
Make sure you have all your updates installed (Apple > Software Update).
Toggle the "all day" check box for the events in question and see if that makes the events show up in Year view.
If that doesn't help, please provide a screen shot of the edit window of the event in question so we can see how you have it configured:
Cheers!

Problem: Orbit Camera Tool Only Rotates One Axis

Hey forum, please forgive the newbee question. I just upgraded to motion 4 and noticed that in a 3D project the orbit tool only swivels the view in one axis (I cannot tilt the view).
I just opened a new project. Inserted an object. Created a camera. Switched to 3D. Choose the top view from the compass. Clicked and held on the 'orbit camera' in the top right... no 3D axis rotation (same protocol works perfectly in motion 3 with full 3D perspective rotation).
Guessing I am missing something really simple... Any thoughts?

That's how it works now. If you want to orbit on multiple axes, you need to be in an Active Camera or Perspective view.

Camera app only shows still camera option. Video option is gone

The iphone 4 camera app intermittently would not open. Now the video option does not show at all. Still takes photos but no way to get to video mode.
And the answer is?
John

And the answer is?
Like most other problems, do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure that needs warranty service from Apple.
If your phone has EVER been jailbroken, all bets are off...

Camera calibration only shows ACR 3.3 & 4.4 in Lightroom 2.5

I can't find anything recent about the camera calibration options except they are out of Beta, but shouldn't I see something other than ACR 3.3 / 4.4? I thought there was a list of cameras there previously.
I'm on Mac 10.4.11.
Thanks,
Debra

Debra:
Be thankful you've seen ACR 3.3 and 4.4 in Lightroom 2.5. Having installed the LR 2.5 update twice, all I've seen is a camera calibration called "Beta".
As usual, I log on as administrator to perform Adobe updates. In this particular case, after upgrading, and logging in as a User, Beta was the only profile listed.
Having just purchaased and installed Xrite's Color Checker Passport, I used that software to create a profile for my new Canon 7D camera. I currently have just two profiles, Beta and Canon 7D Neutral. The rest of the camera profiles provided by Adobe are still missing.
Spending several hours searching for .dcp files (camera calibration files) I see that doing a search for .dcp files in both visible and hidden file locations, I've found two locations where .dcp files are located namely:
1) C:\Documents and Settings\Strenk\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Canon EOS 7D Neutral.dcp (Color Checker Passport created)
2) C:\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard
While I haven't attempted to do so yet, I'm guessing that copying files from location 2 to location 1 will allow you to find the camera profiles that Adobe provides in the Lightroom 2.5 update.
I hope this helps!

Why does the Alexa Tool only show "private"? (No rankings at all.)

Hello,
Since the last update the Alexa Ranking Tool is not showing any rankings for any site. It constantly shows "private".
I've tried everything recommended and checked every setting but I can't find the problem.
Regards,
Lizzi.

Hello cor-el,
Thank you for your reply.
I've checked all those things and the settings are all fine. The tools menu displays the "Start Private Browsing". As I understand it that means I'm not in private browsing mode.
I've done a complete system cleanup and rebooted a couple of times but it still says private. Update says I have the latest version of Firefox.
I'm wondering if I should revert back to the previous version and see if the tool works again but I don't know how to do that.
Regards,
Lizzi.

Need help with the new Multi-cam feature in CC

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Multi-cam feature in CC and have a few questions, so would be happy with help/advice for any of the issues below. The platform is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
The first question is what am I doing wrong? This question relates to the fact I'm trying to use Multi-cam and encountering a lot of frustrating glitches, as sometimes it seems to work and at others it doesn't.
The video I'm trying to edit comes from a dance show so I created a sequence called Act 1. I then highlighted the six clips of Act 1 with Cam 01 at the top, as I wanted the audio from this clip and made a Multi-cam feature using the audio synch. I dragged it to the sequence, set the prog window to Multi-cam and was amazed at how well it had synchronised all clips, as I could see all six clips with great audio synch from Cam 01. So far so good and after thinking how brilliant it was, things went downhill from there
I started by using ripple delete to drag to the start of Act one and then tried editing with Multi-cam. That's where I encountered the first problem, as sometimes it seemed to toggle between cams but didn't put edit points in and the selected cam had a yellow border and not a red one. At other times it inserted edit points when I changed cams and the selected cam has a red border. I can't work out what I'm doing, or not doing for this to happen. Can anyone help please?
The second question is how do I cut audio and video at exactly the same point, as I want to edit out pauses in between the different elements of the actual dance show. When I use the razor tool in Multi-cam it only cuts the video. I tried highliting audio and video using shift, but to no effect. If it matters audio and video are shown as linked when I right click. I thought I might get it to work if I revealed all original clips within the MC nest using the technique shown in "Adobe Learn." This was Ctrl double click, but it resulted in the third problem.
When I tried Ctrl double click I ended up with only Cam 02 showing in the V2 track and after some frustrating attempts at resolving this issue I decided to start all over again. I deleted the PP project and created a new one, importing everything again. I followed exactly the same procedure as I originally did to create a Multi-cam nest, but when I dragged it to the new sequence I saw Cam 02 in V2 of the sequence, which is the same as it was before I deleted the original project. Premiere Pro seems to have annoyingly remembered the actions that went wrong, so please can anyone tell me how to tell Premiere Pro not to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me on any of the issues.

In Premiere Pro, multi-camera is accomplished by nesting a sequence. There's a new, more automated way of doing this in CC. View the steps here: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/a-quick-walkthrough-of-editing-a-multi-camera-s equence-with-clips-synchronized-by-audio.html
HOWEVER, you must be warned that multi-cam in CC is currently broken. A patch is in the works, but until it is released you should not use multi-cam in CC.

Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view

Do you ever use Premiere CC's Multi-Camera tools? Then this FR is for you!
Please copy/paste as your own and send to https://www.adobe.com/go/wish/. Every voice counts!
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Separate windows for Multi-camera view and Program Monitor, with ability to tilde toggle to full screen either or both.
How would you like the feature to work?
The Multi-camera view and the Program Monitor should occupy separate, individually resizable and maximizable windows.
Why is this feature important to you?
The way these interface elements are currently squeezed into the same window is extremely limiting as far a viewing options. When the Multi-camera view is displayed, users can no longer do a full-screen preview of their edit, nor can they do a full screen preview of their multi-camera angles. This is unnecessarily restrictive. By putting the Multi-camera view in it's own window, and allowing it to be tilde maximized to full screen, users would have so much more flexibility for viewing their camera angles and their final edit while editing multi-camera sequences.

Hi Kevin,
I'm not sure how sticking the Multi-Camera View together with the Program Monitor does anything to clean up the interface. But supposing it does somehow, how can the person responsible for this change justify 'cleaning' the interface at the tremendous expense of functionally?
The current design simply isn't functional as already stated:
Full screen preview can't be used for the Program Monitor and/or the Camera Angles.
The Camera Angles can't be positioned and resized independently on their own monitor. Ditto for the Program Monitor.
How could the PP team miss this? Sorry to be brash, but it just baffles me how an entire team of adults can commit such an obvious gaffe. Perhaps they need to screen their ideas past real users, users like me that think outside the box and speak up when things don't work. For sure Adobe already does this, but it clearly isn't working, either because they're consulting the wrong people and/or they're getting the right feedback but aren't listening to it.
When I have to multicam edit on my laptop, I would LOVE to be able to display ONLY my camera angles in Full Screen. This would make each camera angle a usable size on a 17" laptop, and leave out any and all distracting interface elements (something helpful on any size monitor). After my initial edit is finished, I could then scale down my Multi-camera View and place it next to my Program Monitor above my Timeline to refine the edit. The current design makes this logical approach impossible.
I was REALLY hoping to see this fixed in 7.2. The problems with the current design are so painfully obvious to me, every single time I do multicamera editing. IMHO, it should also be obvious to anyone that trully understand video editing.
You wrote "this appeals to some and not to others.", but for the life of me, I can't see how this change could possible appeal to anyone (other than a sadist that gets pleasure out of seeing an editor's workflow getting screwed).

Multi cam monitor not working

With no change whatsoever, except for the passage of time -- two days-- the multi camera display suddenly shows only the selected camera on the right.
Help, please.

Mark
Thank you for your reply and interest. Indeed I will send all you request, and I hope some answer can be found. I am getting desperate.
I am not the only one with this problem; see one with CS6,and one on Creative Cow (who gave up). Also, this effect is occurring in projects that were created weeks ago, had worked fine, have not been accessed until today, and there it is!
I am using premiere 7.2.2 and 2014. Same problem on both. Here is a screen shot of how it should be:
and here is one of what happens...
Please, please help.

CS3 Multi-Cam Monitor quality

Has anyone else had difficulty with the display quality in the Multi-Cam monitor. While the video is playing, all displays (each camera monitor and the multi-cam preview monitor) show video at low quality. When the playback is paused, the quality is fine.
Is this usual ? or have I set something up wrong ?
thanks for any feedback.
Cheers
Andy

Hi,
I've noticed that the program sometimes gives up quality on monitors to favor giving more computer resources to processing the frames of the video and sound, etc. It's not unusual for me to see not so great quality while playing and then settle into a decent "still frame" when stopped.

Multi-Camera Source Sequence Audio from 1 Speaker instead of both??? HELP PLEASE!!!

So I have been at this for awhile now. Am I missing something?
I simply take my 2 .MOV's and 1 .WAV and I create a mulit-camera source sequence. Except when I play it from my time line and it appears in my program pane it only plays the .WAV from one speaker...
If I break it apart and load the .wav from the timeline into the source pane using keyboard shortcut "F" then it plays through both speakers..?
Attached is a screen shot of the broken down Mulit-Camera Source Sequence by clip.
Please help me, thank you!
Multi-Cam sequence ONLY PLAYS AUDIO FROM LEFT CHANNEL, Adobe Premiere Pro CC.Multicam Editing in Premiere CC IssuePremier Pro Multicam Not Working.creating multi-camera source sequence w/ externally recorded audio

I just tried that, although it still plays out one speaker when I play it in the timeline, either out or in the nest. It appears that the timeline has an audio setting that is off perhaps? Or a bug? I have attached many images to check out... Thank you advance!

Problems with Unified Camera tool

Let me preface this with the fact that I'm very new to After Effects and have been self taught over the last week or so.
Working on creating a 2D-3D fly-through with a landscape photo. Got it set with key-points to fly through the 8 layers from beginning to end, but was working on changing the camera angle at a few points. I was able to use Unified Camera tool to successfully do that, and then all of sudden it stopped working- When I went to click on Unified Camera tool, it shows the icon until I actually click on the screen and then it automatically switches to Orbit Camera tool for some reason. Is there any setting that you know of that I've hit that makes it so that Unified Camera tool won't work?

You have a double post going here. It's very hard to tell what is going on in your composition because we can't see the layer properties of any of your 3D layers.
I'll post a copy of my answer here:
How are you trying to adjust the camera? I think you are probably going about animating a camera along a path using a very awkward and tiresome workflow. By far the easiest way to animate a camera along a path is to place a null at the same position as your camera, parent the camera to a null, then animate the null. Camera path and the angle of the camera can be animated easily by animating the null even if you have a two node camera. If you have a one node camera you can independently animate the orientation or x, y, or z rotation of the camera independently of the null. This is a better way to work with either type of camera.
As Mylenium said, without seeing a screenshot of your comp with all problematic layers properties revealed we can't know what is going on. I also have no idea what you mean when you say it will show the Unified Camera tool until I click. Click where? Pressing the C key will change to the camera tools in the comp window. The first time you press C you get a unified camera tool. If you have a single node camera selected the unified camera tool adjusts orientation. If you have a 2 node camera selected, the unified camera tool adjusts camera position because the angle is controlled by the point of interest. Clicking the and dragging the unified camera tool always gives you an orbit icon. You cannot dolly in and out with the UCT. Never have been able to do that. You cannot change orientation with the UTC if you have a two node camera selected.
I think you are just not remembering how the tool works. BTW, using the unified camera tool to tilt up (no such thing as a pan up) with a two node camera will lower the camera position, but on a one node camera it will change the x orientation (mostly) of the camera. In either case, you'll find better results using a null at the camera position as a dolly for the camera.
Here's a short tutorial that may help you a bit. One of these days I'll record a comprehensive animating a camera tutorial.
If you follow this tutorial but paste the path to a 3D null called dolly, then use the temporary null to rotate the dolly to YZ, then parent the camera to the dolly null you won't have to set a two node camera to orient along the path and you'll have more options.

Premiere Pro Multi-Cam Angles on External Monitor

On Mac OS 10.10.3 with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and Premiere Pro CC 8.2...
Is there a way to show multi-cam angles on an external monitor connected to the intensity via HDMI? Enabling "multi-cam" in my timeline only shows the angles on my computer, not the external monitor. The external monitor only shows the active angle.
The feature is available in FCP7 with the click of a button --> show multicam angles.

One editor's huge oversight is another editors yawn, of course. But for those like yourself doing much multi-cam with clients looking over their shoulder, yes, this would be a biggie. And you'll not find any disagreement about wanting it. So ... how about filing a bug/feature report about this? The teams actually do quantify these over time, and the bean counters look at these numbers as part of the logic of where they allow budget for changes/fixes to be allocated. So the more filed the better chance we'll get something like this changed.

FR: Full Screen Preview of Multi-Camera Angles

The Program monitor can be viewed in Full Screen mode, as we all know, but when the Program monitor is displaying Multi-camera angles, it can only viewed in windowed mode. Full Screen mode no longer works in this situation. This is inconsistent, illogical and unproductive, thus my new FR for Adobe to allow the Program Monitor to be viewed in Full Screen mode, regardless of what it's displaying:
(feel free to copy/paste and send as your own FR here: www.adobe.com/go/wish)
How would you like the feature to work?
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Full Screen Preview for Camera Angles
How would you like the feature to work?
The Program and Source Monitors can both be toggled in/out of Full Screen mode with a single keyboard shortcut, a fantastic feature. Why then can't the Program Monitor display in Full Screen when it's displaying Camera Angles, either with the Multi-Camera Preview Monitor on or off? A window that can be viewed in Full Screen should always allow full screen preview, regardless of what it is displaying!
Why is this feature important to you?
Consistency and a logical, productive UI is beneficial to all editors. The fact that the Program Monitor window can be viewed in Full Screen in one instance but not another, is illogical, inconsistent, and a productivity hindrance that should be fixed.
Ideally, Adobe could give us a separate, Full Screen capable window for displaying Camera Angles. This way users could display their Camera Angles on one monitor, and their Program Monitor on a second monitor, all in Full Screen mode, without the visual polution of a windowed interface whenever that interface does not contribute to the editing task at hand! Here is my thread regarding that request: Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view. However, should Adobe be unable or unwilling to provide us with the suggested interface that would provide maximum customizability/flexibility, at the very least having the option to view our Program Monitor in Full screen mode when viewing Camera Angles would be useful.

The iSight is either 640x480 (older MBPs) or 1280x1024 (newer MBPs). Displaying it 'full screen' especially in an older MBP (which is what you have if you're posting in the correct forum) would result in a horribly pixelated image, not 'high resolution'. The apps that show the iSight feed are showing it at its native resolution, and that's a limitation of the hardware. If you need higher resolution, you can attach a higher resolution video camera (for example, my Panasonic DV camcorder connects via FireWire and can be used as a webcam).
