Multicam Angle viewer issues

I am trying to edit a multicam clip.  The angle viewer footage is not playing from the project.  But when I highlight the multicam clip in the events folder, they are all synced and play well... I just cant edit the clip in the project because the footage is not moving....  What am I missing????

What are the specs of the media? What are the project properties? Is the media optimized? Proxy?

  • Multicam angle viewer frozen during edit

    I'm just starting to edit a three-camera interview with FCPX's otherwise elegent multi-cam edit feature. However as I play the multi-clip in the timeline, the cuts are being effected properly via keystroke, as they should, however the clips in the angle viewer are frozen in place forcing me to guess at where to make the cuts as the timeline runs. I can scrub through the multiclip in the media browser and it moves the three angles then. But they stand still when I try to edit.
    I've restarted FCP. I've restarted the computer. I've zapped the PRAM. I've repaired permissions multiple times. I've trashed permissions. I even changed the clip to proxy media. Nothing's working. What up here?

    Wow...discussions are finally back! That took a while...
    ...anyway...I'm sorry. I may have misled with that "This solved my question" but Mr. Wolsky must surely have helped plenty of people without receiving credit so let's just give him this one.
    What I meant by that was that it answered my question about migrating a project from one drive to another without messing with my event. (boy I hate this terminology. If anything shouldn't Projects be called Events and vice versa? I think so. Regardless, they're dumb labels) I guess I should have rated it "This helped me."
    But no, the freeze has NOT thawed. Even switching to Proxy media did not do the trick. I don't know that the full disc issue ever was in question in this regard anyway; it was just to darn full for any operational purposes. But I also had to move the projects as they were on my system disc. (or, more accurately, a partition thereof) And that didn't help the freeze either.
    So I'm still editing blind, sort of. Fortunately it's just an interview. It's easy enough to do it without the footage being viewable in the angles viewer. If it were anything else it would be a much bigger problem, so I hope I can get this fixed soon.

  • Multicam playback a nightmare with angle viewer open. Please help!

    I have a brand new, 27" iMac, 8gb ram, 3.4ghz processor, 1gb video card.  Using Final Cut Pro X 1.0.5.  Trying to stitch together only two Canon 60D clips using the multicam feature in FCPX.  When the angle viewer is open, the video on ONE track will drop frames like a seagull dropping digested fish.  It's not even usable. When I hide the angle viewer, plays back fine. This is a workaround, but I want that viewer to be open to make further edits...that's the point.  I even lags when I'm making edits.  How can I solve this...what is the issue??  Please advise!

    a) use proxies
    b) keep events on a fast 2nd drive
    .... my set-up has about 20% of your horse-power - and 5, 6 multi clips are no problem.-

  • Multicam editing: Can't get blade to show in angle viewer when trying to edit in Timeline

    This problem just appeared. I have done lots of multicam editing in FCPX, it works great.
    But, today I started on a new video and:
    - I created the first multicam clip, it looks fine.
    - I created a Project and appended the multicam clip into the Project, it looks fine.
    - I see all the Angles in the Angle Viewer, it looks normal.
    - I select the Event Browser and hit play, all angles play. I move the curser over an angle and I see a hand, just as I should. everything fine so far.
    - I click in the Timeline and hit the space bar and the selected angle and audio start to play..........BUT the angles in the angle viewer do NOT play. Not right.
    - With the Timeline still selected, I move the curser over an angle in the angle viewer, and i see the hand, NOT the Blade.
    So, FCPX thinks I am still in the Event Browser, even though when I click in the Timeline, the Timeline background color changes to light grey, which says I am in the Timeline. FCPX is not letting me go into the Timeline (even though the background color changes).
    I have to be doing something dumb, but I don't see it.
    Any suggestions?

    Turns out that was EXACTLY the problem --- I kept looking around and finally discovered the problem was that I was NOT in a project (although I thought I was).
    Nevertheless, thank you for responding.

  • Multicamera angle's view out to external monitor?

    Hello Forum,
    Is it possible to have the angle view of multicamera viewable via transmit to my external monitor?  (via Blackmagic Intensity Pro)
    Currently, it only displays the active angle.
    Thanks all!
    - Ryan

    You could get a Canopus box and put the video out firewire to a video monitor that composite video in.
    To do this the video needs to be a DV stream.
    If the video is the new hi def standard with a framerate of 23.97, you will see picture but it won't be frame accurate sync.
    If you have a G5 or a Mac Pro you could get another video card and display the video on that.

  • Multiclip: nothing shows in angle viewer

    Hmm, I've used multiclips before without problem, but now I'm stuck. I synced 2 video angles and a separate audio track. Then I added the multiclip to the timeline and opened angle viewer. The angle  viewer is blank though--nothing showing. When I click on the timeline and play I see one clip (not in the angle viewer, but in the other view to the right of the angle viewer. Same if I click and play on the multiclip in events, I get playback of one angle but nothing in  angle viewer.
    I've got 2 angles checked and picture only (I've also tried picture and sound). Using FCP X 10.0.5

    I'll try trashing prefs and let you know. I'm attaching a screenshot. Multicam clip is shown bottom left...I double-click on that, and the title of the multiclip shows at top of angle viewer, but nothing there as you can see.

  • Crop command in multicam angle editor

    When I activate the crop command in the multicam angle editor the viewer screen goes black. The command functions but I cannot see a picture to evaluate what the crop will look like. When I am finished with the crop command the picture returns and I can see the resulting crop. It works fine on regular clips and even on the multicam clip in a project on the timeline. The only problem is in the angle editor. Weird.
    OS X 10.9.4 & FCPX 10.1.3
    Thanks

    I did a quick test and I have the exact same problem. In the Angle Editor, Trim works ok, but both Crop and Ken Burns turn the viewer black. They still work, but you're "blind" making the adjustments.

  • Multicam Angle Editor not vertically layering clips

    I created a new multicam clip which consisted of 4 video clips and a master audio clip.  I used the defaults when creating the clip (including the "use audio when synchronizing" checkbox).  When I view this in the multicam angle editor however, it shows all the video clips lined up horizontally in one row, rather than displaying seperate vertical clips.  The viewer reflects only 2 clips as well.  What have I done wrong?  I've been troubleshooting this for 2 hours to no avail.  Thanks for any help.
    I'm using an iMac 27", OSX 10.8.2, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3, with 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.  FCP 10.0.6 Free Trial.

    Have you set Camera Name/Angel on the clips???
    If not, FCPX will treat it as One camera angel, and you get this result!
    Make sure to set Angel in the inspector, and MultiCam sync on Angel

  • Has the 10.4 update lost anyone else's angle viewer cut and switch blade cursor?

    I've seen nothing @ any other online resource, and will shortly call Apl Care tech supp.
    Message was edited by: FCProCertLvl1

    Yes, all my synced footage is there in the project timeline w/ all functionality in the angle viewer. Did I read the help file wrong, or misinterpret it, where it comes to a live cam shoot, cut and switch editing, where you are not generating a multicam clip in the angle editor but the angle viewer is live, realtime (?) with a project timeline open?
    Please advise.

  • Multiclip angles show black in angle viewer

    All of a sudden my Multiclip angle viewer stopped showing angles. All I see are black frames. Everything else works, I can switch angles etc. Trashed the prefs, deleted renders and rebuilt thumbnails but the problem persists. I opened an old tutorial project from Ripple Training and the problem is there as well:
    What maybe causing this?
    I'm on FCP X 10.0.5 late 2011 MacBook Pro with 16 Gigs of RAM.

    I have this problem too, but it's only on certain sections of the project. If I delete the render files, then I can see the clips properly in the angle viewer. But the next time I switch angles or blade the movie (it's not entirely clear or consistent what triggers it) then both the frames in the Angle Viewer go black.
    Any thoughts? It's started recently, and I haven't tweaked anything I can think of.

  • Effects in Multicam Angle Editor not Rendering

    When I add color correction (magic bullet looks) to a master clip in a multicam edit (so in the Angle Editor), the effect does not render either in the background or manually. The effect does appear, it just does not render.
    So, once I add the effect this way I can no longer edit or even get smooth playback in real-time with the multi-cam editor (it needs to render first). I expect that with Magic Bullet Looks, so I know I have to render once apply it. But it won't render unless I export it as a movie.
    I can add the color clip by clip instead in the regular timeline, but that can be very time consuming.
    Even if I wait to do color correction until the very end of my workflow, I still need to be able to render effects on muticam masters if possible.
    Are there some options I could try to get around this?

    It is kind of a difficult senario to explain, but I am trying with Red Giant to see if they have any thoughts on it.
    But I am thinking that in the multicam angle editor, you can only apply effects that your system can handle in real-time and not effects that would require rendering (at least until final output of a project).

  • Viewing issues with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

    We have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 installed, and we are having some issues when viewing pdf documents.  Once a Word document is converted to a pdf document, some of the hyperlinks are appearing thicker (almost bold) than others, and some of the text appears lighter/darker than the rest of the text.  There is no pattern to this, it is all very random.
    When we print the pdf document, everything looks correct, so this only happening when we view the document on the computer.
    Can anyone provide a suggestion on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I forgot the attachment!
    Hi Bill,
    I am attaching screen shots of 1) a page where the hyperlinks appear thicker and 2) the document properties pages showing the fonts.
    We have tried creating it with both the Adobe PDF Maker and the MS PDF tool and it happens using both.  I am thinking that this really is a viewing issue, because it prints out fine.  Also, it looks the same no matter what the zoom setting is.
    Please let me know if you have any other advice.
    Thank you!

  • Is it possible to change multicam angle property? Or add video to what is seen as a audio angle?

    I'm getting footage from overseas and first I was sent just the audio files, so I assumed i could just put the audio files into a multicam clip angle and started keywording and favoriting the new clip, which i did.  Now I've received the video files.  as per normal, I added an angle from the triangle drop-down menu, and tried adding the video but it won't let me.  Using an "insert edit" I get a message "You are combining audio and video clips in an audio-only angle. You cannot add video clips to existing audio-only angles." 
    The issue seems to be that if the first angle you create only gets audio files added to it, and you then use that angle to add another angle from the triangle drop-down, it forces that new angle to be audio only, and it won't accept video. I've confirmed this with separate tests.
    I could start the multicam clip from scratch and add a video clip first, but trying not to lose all the keywording work (which was a lot).  There doesn't seem to be any way to change angle properties or to add a new angle that isn't audio-only by default.
    any suggestions much appreciated

    Just click on the little triangle in the Angle Editor and choose "Add Angle". Now drag your video clip into the new angle.
    Synchronization, though, is another matter. All in all, you'll probably be better served by creating a new mulicam clip, by way of which you'll get everything properly synched.

  • Slide Clips in Multicam Angle Editor?

    Trying to help a friend learn multicam in FCP X, and he's run into an issue with the clip sync that's making him need to manually sync up one clip.
    Problem: clips can't move. They're snapping back to where they were before. Anybody know of a way to freely slide a clip in its angle in the editor?

    Normally when you open the multicam clip in the angle editor, the pointer defaults to Position tool, which lets you move the angles freely in the lanes. If this isn't happening for you press P for the Position tool.
    P.S. you can also nudge with comma/period or Shift-comma/period.
