Multi-clip editing not working

Hello everyone,
I need help with the multi-cam editing feature, I have done everything I know to be correct to setup my multi-cam editing.
1. setting a common in point with my 3 cameras
2. selecting each and creating my multi-clip
3. setting my RT settings for multi-clip editing
4. making sure open is set
The blue marks show up as I switch from angle to angle( I'm using the number pad as my switcher). The problem comes in when i stop and press the spacebar. The blue markers disappear and the cuts don't show up. Please help me understand what I could be doing wrong.

Thank you all for answering my question. Yet I have done all these things you both mentioned. Its as if there is a glitch. Prior to this post I found that I was switching and not cutting my selections, the adjustment was made and finally I thought I could edit in peace. When I hit the space bar after my cuts (no longer just selection) do not conform to my multi-cam timeline. I mean is there an order I should be doing things in to have this work. The crazy part is that it works sometimes and other times it just doesn't want to function correctly.
steps taken:
1. Setting a common in point with my 3 cameras
2. Selecting each and creating my multi-clip
3. Setting my RT multi-clip settings for multi-clip editing on timeline
4. Loading my keyboard layout (which Cut video to angle etc.)
5. Making sure Gang is set to Open
6. Double click on multi clip in sequence to load onto viewer
7. Setting my audio to center and other two to video only
-play the sequence, start switching and hope/ pray my cuts conform to the Seq.
I'm I doing something out of order here ?
thanks in advance
-Jay

Multi Clip Editing Suddenly Stopped Working

I have a very strange situation and I wonder if anybody else has encountered this. I have a G5 running OS X 10.4.11. It's a 1.8GHz processor with 1.5 GB RAM. I have two 17" monitors connected to it: an older Apple Studio Display and a new Apple Cinema Display. I might add that this computer has been a completely reliable workhorse for me when it comes to Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. A recent upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2, however, left me unable to run Motion very effectively if at all. I was also unable to run any of the Noise Industry plugins that I really wanted to use. After seeking advice, I installed a Radeon X800XT graphics card. Visually I didn't notice any striking difference in the images on my screens, BUT I was able to run Motion in real time they way it's supposed to run AND the Noise Industry plugins that I downloaded to demo worked great.
At the same time I installed the graphics card I also decided to move a FC Pro project and all the related media off of an external LaCiie porsche drive (250GB) and onto my second internal drive (150GB). Prior to the move, I had been working on the project—a concert shot with four cameras—using multi clip editing without a single hitch.
All of a sudden, FC wouldn't even launch. Click on the icon — nothing. Neither would Soundtrack. All the other components of the Studio worked fine. So I removed ALL the Final Cut elements — and yes, I got them ALL. Re-installed the software and accompanying media. Same problem. So then I moved the previously mentioned FC project back on to the La Cie drive, did a clean install of the OS on my other internal drive, did all the appropriate upgrades, did a clean install of FC Studio on THAT drive and all the appropriate upgrades. This time FC (and Soundtrack) launch like they're supposed to — but when I go into my multi clip project and double click on the track in the timeline to "send" the 4-camera view to the the viewer, I consistently get the spinning beach ball of death.
I apologize for such a long preamble to my problem, but I wanted to convey as much information as possible. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before? I know the next step is probably to swap my old graphics card back in, but before I do that I wanted to see if the esteemed forum had any suggestions,
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John

bummer.
Moving multiclip projects from the desktop may have resulted in some sort of corruption dunno... Media manager might have done a better job of this, but I've never moved a project that had multiclips in it.
Only thing I can suggest is a rebuild of the timeline? Maybe just copy and paste it all to a new sequence and/or to a new project file?

Mpeg streamclip and multi clip editing

I am working on a project in which I have two pieces of video. My main camera for talent and mp4 files from a software that captures video screen movement.. similat to camtasia.
My Talent cam settings are frame size 1440 x 1080i @ 29.97 fps.
I'm trying to run the mp4's through streamclip to make them into a file that will work with my talent cam.
I'm wanting to do multi clip editing but I cannot get the file from streamclip to work with my talent cam. I get warrnings that the frame sizes don't match... so I fix that, then I get warnings that the video rate doesn't match and I get that fixed. then I get warnings that the codec types don't match.
I've used pro res 422, apple dv- dvc ntsc with the same frame and fps settings, AVI settings etc... to many tries to remember them all.
Can anyone tell me a good setting from streamclip that will work to do a multi cam edit?

Have you tried using compressor? Has a lot more controls and it might do the trick.
Wondering if a difference in field dominance could be causing this.
What do you mean by avi settings? avi files are not gonna work in fcp.
If you have 2 short clips from each source and want to send them to me, I'll see if I can figure what's up.
My email is in my profile.

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other...
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
in the iTunes Store.
The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
Can't recommend them enough.

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

The multi-tabs is not working all the time. Windows7 Firefox 4.0.1 I have the correct opetions set for multi-tabs.

The multi-tabs is not working. I have the correct options set for multi-tabs. But when I open Firefox and try to add a site from Bookmarks it uses the same tab that is opened.

Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

Multi clip editing

First Multi Clip edit - I can;t find how to adjust a portion of a clip. If I revert back to original media and change a select part - the entire clip changes too.
Mmm, what am I missing/doing wrong, please.

The place to do color correction is in the Angle Editor.
Here is a brief support doc summary.
There are also several good video tutorials and demos on the subject. Here's one of them.

Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

I've been having the same problem. When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work. I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep. I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

Tutorial DVD for Multi-clip editing

Hello,
Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced Tutorial DVD, that takes you through Multi-clip editing? And/or perhaps a website that has tutorials? I've seen a few, but as expected, it only shows a few of the steps - many thanks.

Clip looping not working correctly unless I edit clip in Waveform editor (CS6)

I record a short clip
I use the, razor, slip or time selection to trim the clip to the exact length I want it to be.
I rt-click the clip and enable looping
I go to the right edge of the clip and stretch the clip to make it loop one or more times.
Problem, the clip loops but not at the begin and end point I expected based on #2 above.
I eventually went into the wave form editor and just deleted the dead air at the beginning of the clip (but not at the end) and now the looping feature works as expected.
Am I missing something? Is this the correct behavior? Do I have to edit a clip in waveform editor to make it loop correctly?
Thanks, I'm new to AA and just getting started with CS6 version.

Hi bmfm,
I think I know what's going on. The behavior you describe happens when you try to edit back into your original sequence. Can try making a new sequence to cut your selects into? See the page in help for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/edit-sequences-loaded-source-monitor.html

Multi-clip almost never works for me on the first attempt

Anybody know why when setting up a multi-clip, I can almost
never get it to work the first time I hit the timeline to start playing.
All my settings are correct, but either the viewer or timeline doesn't move on the first time try.
All I do is take my playhead back to the beginning of
timeline, hit play again, and usually it then starts working correctly. Sometimes I have better results if I hit the play in the Viewer instead of the Timeline, but it's not a consistent thing.
Again, I'm in open sync in Viewer and Canvas/Timeline, I'm in Unlimited RT, dynamic video quality and frame rate, multiclip activated there, turned off high quality scrubbing, ect.
I'm usually doing this with (3) short 3 minutes DV clips
on a mac book pro.
When I do get it going after the second, third or fourth attempt, I haven't changed any of the settings,...I've just confirmed that they were right to begin with.
Anybody else experience this and any ideas on how to get it to work correctly first time out?
Thanks.

so effectively it's on a different drive, sort of
But still using the same reader heads as your primary drive. So technically, it's still the same drive.
I just cut a 4 angle music video last week using my MacPro at work, and even with the source media on a FW800 G-Raid, I was still getting delayed playback and couldn't even view the 4-up display when playing back. So I moved the project to our XSAN, and with the fibre backbone there, bandwidth was definitely increased.
So the other variable in this problem is bandwidth as well as RAM. I know that a fibre based storage system isn't in everyone's budget, but I'd recommend trying out an eSATA based drive, given that I had trouble with 4 streams over FW800.

Three Point Edit not working correctly :(

Hi there,
first of all I'd like to say thank you Adobe for listening to your users. And I hope this one gets noticed right away....:
It appears that 3 point editing ist not working correctly.
Right now I'm editing a video and I heavily rely on 3 point editing.
I have quite a lot XDCAM EX 50i clips which are all in one sequence that is used as source.
Coming from tape workflows I really don't like clicking clip after clip...I need to edit
Now fortunately one can choose to either have a sequence as source edited in nested or as individual tracks. Very nice!
Very bad is that 3 point editing only works when "nested" is activated. Again, very bad!
As soon as I want to use my source sequence with its individual tracks and hit (.) or (,) just nothing happens. Hmpf!
Come on guys, that is essential editing stuff, not fancy speech detection blabla...sorry but this is mega-annoying right now....
It says "Pro" right after "Premiere". So please make it pro! Professionals need ROCK SOLID essential functions.
Make us editors happy having switched from Avid/FCP etc.
Make essential stuff rock solid. That's what makes an app "pro".
Cheers and please mind my harsh words. Just a little upset right now. (I know that's not pro either )

Line Up Clips for a Multi-clip Edit

Hi I am editing a dance video, when it was recorded at the event a few of the camera people decided to pause after every song - this has made it a hassle to edit. I am trying to line up the clips to get them all in sync for a multi-clip. The only way I could think of to do this was give each camera angle a track and line them up that. I almost have them all lined up, but I have no idea how to make it back into one clip, since it is currently cut into tons of pieces. How do I combine them back into one clip? The closest I could find was Nesting, but that creates a sequence, and I can't make a Multi-clip out of sequences.
Each video track is a different angle, the screenshot I posted doesn't show all of the clips lined up, because I didn't get quite that far. How can I make this into a multi-clip
I just started using Final Cut about a week ago and I don't really know how it all works....yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Adding Slo Mo to a clip that's between 2 other clips? Not working Correctly

Hi,
I have a timeline full of clips.
I inseet a clip that is 4 seconds long between 2 clips that are already on the timeline.
I want to make the inserted clip 8 seconds long,
I highlight that clip in the timeline, go to my "Speed/Duration", the dialog box opens and I change the time to 8 seconds or 50%.
On the timeline, the top of the clip turns red, like it needs to be rendered, the clip now says it's 8 seconds, but it is still only 4 seconds.
Why?
When I take that same clip and put it on the end of the timeline where there is no clip in front or behind it and I change the speed, it works correctly.
Why?
Can you insert a clip between two other clips on the timeline and perform a "slow motion?" The clip should get bigger and all rest of the clips should all move down to the right.
Why does this not work in Premiere Pro CS 5.5?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone,
I come from Final Cut 7 and when I do a slo mo it just moves everything down to the right on the timeline. That is what I am used to.
I just did it in Premiere and checked the Ripple Edit check box in the Speed Duration Dialog box and then add slo motion, , and it did move everything to the right, but I had to render all of the stuff that needs rendering all over again. Don't want to do that everyime I change speed on a clip.
Thanks again.
