Multi-clip - number pad makes marks, but no actual cuts?

4 cameras. Set up as multi-clip. The toggle buttons work to cut the angles just fine. But I can't get the keypad (number pad) to make the cuts. It makes the marks on the fly. When I stop the play the marks disappear and there are no actual cuts. I've done this successfully many times before. Can't figure out why it isn't working this time, why the marks don't become cuts when I stop the play.
I bet I've mis-clicked something somewhere.
Any ideas out there?
Ben

I gave you a 'This helped me ...' when in fact you deserved a 'This solved my question'. Thank you mucho Michael. I work days, weeks, months on FCP ... and forget that I can actually 'set' things differently. I'm always amazed and pleased when I discover a new keystroke or something ... or rather, when someone introduces me to it. And immediately incorporate it into my routine. But I hardly ever go looking for the things. I just want to get the film cut. And in FCP, one can go on learning the techno forever it seems ... so many ways to do something.
Really do appreciate your help. This will very much speed up my day with a deadline looming.
All the best,
Ben
P.S. If there is any way I can go back and give you a "This solved my question," I would do it in a flash.

You're covered for hardware for year, but they'll want a credit card number in case it's software.
Have you gone to universal access in system prefs to be sure you haven't accidentally enabled something like Mouse Keys or Sticky keys?

How to get audio clips to play at site but not actually download?

Would like person to be able to listen only to audio clips but not to be able to download clip to add to their iTunes library. In other words, am selling an audio product, and while I'd like people to be able to hear samples at my site (built with iweb), I don't want them to retain clip. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated!

Stopping people from downloading anything that's published to the internet is virtually impossible.
I would recommend that you first edit your files so that you only have about a one minute clip online....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/AudioFiles/Import.html
Dragging you files onto the iWeb page is not the best way to present them as a large percentage of PC users won't be able to play them. The Wordpress standalone flash player is still about the best way to play audio and you have to know how to get into the source code to be able to download the files....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/MusicPlayers/FlashPlayers.html
Or use a flash jukebox....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Movies/Flash-Audio-Jukebox.html
For the increasing number of people using iPhone/iPad you can use this dual player....

or have an alternative page using HTML5 players.....

Quality Number Pad

Does anyone know of a 'quality' number pad for use with a MacBook?
There seem to be a few wireless number pads out there - but none of them match the Apple build quality / aesthetics. Given the increasing number of 'professionals' using Apple products it seems an obvious ommission from Apple's own product line.
Just in case anyone from Apple is reading you may want to throw in a few user definable function keys on to any such number pad as any old school PC users would doubtless be keen to have regularly used Excel function keys (F2 for Edit, F4 to fix references, etc - rather than the 'twister' gymnastics needed to perform those functions in Excel for Mac)....

Is there a reason you don't just by the Aluminum Keyboard? It has a number pad built-in and it's also a very nice full-sized keyboard, which neither of the Mac Laptops have (though the MacBook Pro does come very close). It's also quite handy and allows you to get something like a Griffin Elevator to lift your laptop off the table. Better for your view-angle and better for the laptop's cooling.
Otherwise, I think the Optimus is selling a number pad, which is rather sexy.

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

How do i get fcp set up to make multi clip cuts buy just clicking on the boxes in the viewer

how do i get fcp set up to make multi clip cuts buy just clicking on the boxes in the viewer

This forum is all about FCP X. You should ask your question in the FInal Cut Pro Studio forum.

Quick multi-clip question..

I have to cut a three camera shoot in the next two hours. I've set up the multi-clip. The three cameras are pegged to the 1,2,3 of the numeric keyboard. When I flip from one camera to the next everything works ... but ... it doesn't make a cut. I could use the icons on the timeline, they work, but it isn't very intuitive or rhythmic (this is a music show). How can I set the 1,2,3 keys to actually make a mark or a cut as move between them?
I'm on the road, no manual, and I remember it being a bit of trick anyway ... wading through the FCP manual for an answer to this particular question (which I've unfortunately forgotten).
All ears,
Ben

Just finished my first 4 minute song. Only ten more to go. Thank you Tom. And Studio X.
Studio X for getting me to go back to the in-board manual, which, with the keywords got me into a whole other set of subject headings, which got me into understand better how they've laid the thing out.
And Tom, for the down and dirty.
Much appreciated,
Ben

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

Ibm t30 alternate number pad - keys U I O J K L

How can you disable this alternate number pad on the T30? It's stuck on - a co-worker called me on the phone in another city, and has most regular alpha keys working, but the certain keys that make up the horizontal/vertical number pad on the keyboard is completely stuck on - how is this disabled/enabled?
Tried numerous FN commands, and absolutely no luck - seems to be only a problem when logged in - but before logging in, using the keyboard works fine.
-Jeff
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Look at your keyboard carefully and find which key has the NumLk on it. It will be Fn+thatkey to toggle NumLock off and on.

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.

Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

Hello,
I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
Jay

This is from the built-in Mac Help.
Hope it works for you.
My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

Extending F-Keys - is there a F-Key number pad?

I have the wireless apple keyboard which only has twelve f-keys. Does anyone know of a device like a number pad that would add some additional F-keys which I could assign actions to?
Please don't suggest the following - I am aware of these options and they don't resolve a very specific issue/workflow I am trying to enable.
1) just use the fully apple keyboard that have extended F keys
2) use modifier keys for your F keys for addition functions
I have tons of quick keys that I use across the OS, and across apps, and I am trying to find single key presses (without modifiers) that I can press to increase functionality and apple's multipurpose Fkey option makes my goals difficult?
Any suggestions? I love the wireless keyboard, but I just want to be able to add additional keys.
Thanks!

Check out the Belkin Nostromo N52... It's designed as a gaming input device, but it should suit your needs nicely. It has 14 keys (all programmable, even macros) as well as a scroll wheel, 8-way D-pad, and several other buttons.
I'm 99% sure they have OSX drivers for it...
Saitek makes something similar as well, but I don't know about OSX compatibility...

Multi-Clip Scrub Sync Problem

So im editing an 18 multi cam music video... Each clip I didn't sync by time code, but I made a sync mark at each beginning track so I have a basic rough outline reference point. I marked in each clip so it syncs up to that sound marker... And then I multi clip all of them. They are all roughly in sync...
Now im scrubbing the first individual camera 1 so it could be perfectly in-sync with the main song.... Moments later,Camera 1 is all synced up...
Now I check lets say Camera 2 and its completely out of sync its like in the middle of the song, how did it catch up to that point when I didnt even touch/move any other cameras? What do I do?
Its like when I synced the first one clip everything else bounced way out of sync even though I didn't touch it...
I also tried less cameras like 15 and still did it...
Any idea? Help?
Thanks guys!
-B

Well it was a 1 camera shoot project. I just organized each input to match my sound sync... but if i scrub to perfect the clips, the other clips some how go way out of sync, really strange.
Im running on the most up to date quicktime, FCP and OS system... But have a Duel G5 Tower.
What im doing is, Im not perfecting the multiclip file, just gonna cut it together then scrub it on the timeline when its all set in...
