Multicam clips not dropping to sequence

I've created my multicam clips with all cameras I need. They are in sync and they work in Viewer. I went to start my edit and I can't drag my selection to the Sequence. It won't do it. I've selected different angles and it won't budge. There's no error or anything it just won't let me drag it down. Thanks for any help.

Use Option + drag from the viewer.

Finished clips were dropped from sequence

Hi there...
I have been working on a project in Final Cut Express. I always Render All and Save before I close out. The last time I opened the application, some finished clips I had in my sequence were dropped. I did a search for them and found them listed in my Render Files folder as
Sequence 1 - FIN - 00000010
Sequence 1 - FIN - 00000011
Sequence 1 - FIN - 00000012
...and so on.
So, two questions -
(1) Why were these finished clips dropped from the sequence?
(2) How do I bring them back into the sequence?
Thank you so much for your feedback!

Hi(Bonjour)!
Simply render your sequence again.
Sometimes, render files can disapears without explaination (FCE 2 was prone to this behavior).

QuickTime has short flashes of clips not in proper sequence

I'm using QuickTime Pro 7.2 on a MacPro Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Seopn, with 4 GB of Memory.
I am edting (in Final Cut Studio) a short video that was produced by others -- they sent me 5 QuickTime clips as my source material. I had to add a few more segments, then finish it off with type, etc.
When I export the file to QuickTime, the result is that I have several places where brief clips appear, maybe a frame or two -- from elsewhere in the video. They are NOT on the timeline of FC Studio, but have made their way into the QuickTime movie.
What is happening here, and how do I solve it?

David:
I removed all the QuickTime files that were sent to me, and when I exported the revised equence in Final Cut Studio out at a new QuickTime movie, it helped somewhat, but didn't solve the problem. The original problem (described above) was minimized, but there were still 2 places in the new file that had glitches (misplaced files) of a few frames. Here's what really baffles me: when I played the QuickTime movie a second time, it got worse, then on third play, it got even worse. More and more places were pixellated, and more misplaced files showed up.

New sequence from clip not really matching my clips

We mainly do motion graphics and 3D animation, so I use Premiere Pro almost exclusively to edit together such pieces rendered out of After Effects using the Pro Res 4444 codec. As an FCP user, my instinct was that if I invoked creating a New Sequence from one of those clips Premiere would create a sequence that would match my Pro Res 4444 clip exactly. It doesn't. It matches the size and frame rate, but creates a sequence with the Editing mode set to ARRI Cinema, I-Frame Only MPEG Preview File Format, MPEG I-Frame codec, and my pristine ProRes 4444 ends up with a yellow render bar in the sequence.
Am I missing something?
I have to select custom from the Editing mode and manually select ProRes 4444, etc. Not a big deal. I could save that preset. Just wondering why that function doesn't totally match my source clip.
Thanks.

Being a recent FCP devotee I will see if I can interpret what this person expected.
By dropping a Prores 422 clip on the Make Sequence button, I will hazard a guess that he expected to see a Prores 422 sequence created. In the FCP workflow that is the desire sequnce to play that clip in. What he is seeing in the second image (the sequence settings) is an AVCHD 1080 anamorphic sequence. And hes not sure why its not Prores.
Im sure once he reads the links Todd provided he will understand he is not in Appleland anymore and that there is a different workflow with PrP.
How did I do? ;-)

HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

Not possilbe to audition Multicam clips?

I filmed a how-to-style video with two cameras. We ran through the how-to process a handful of times, knowing that in the edit we'd pick from the best parts.
I made the Multicam Clips from the two cameras, but sadly it doesn't seem like I can use the audition feature with multicam clips.
For example, i have the subjects intro line... I like take 2 and take 4... I put take 2 in the timeline, then place take 4 over it, but "add to auditon" is greyed out.
Why can I not audition two multicam clips? It seems to be an unnecessary limitation? Hopefully I'm doing something wrong and there is an answer for this.
If not, am I sorry-out-of-luck and I won't be able to use the audition feature with multicam clips (I almost always am shooting 2 cameras on my projects).
Thanks!

You wouldn't have to move them around to audition- simply connect and disable the version you don't want and they can continue to live in the edit.
Depending on what you are doing, there still is some moving. The method you describe is what I am doing now, which is basically how i would do it in FCP7 by just putting in on another video track and enabling/disabling the clip.
What that does NOT do is take advantage of the magnetic timeline. The two clips you are auditioning are most likely going to be different lengths. If you disable the clip in the main storyline, the remaining clips will not move to magnetically line up with the connected clip above it. So if you are trying to audition it while seeing how it works in relation to the clip before it and after it, you will actually need to move the connected clip into the main storyline, and move the main storyline clip up as a connected clip. You can't easily have "blank" parts in your main storyline so this process is actually MORE difficult that when doing it in FCP7.
That's what was so great about the audition feature. Easily switch between your options and and the timeline adjusts. And your other options are nicely hidden away in the audition and not diabled clips connected above it messy-ing it up.
Hopefully the next update will allow multicam clips to be added to auditions.

Multicam clips appearing as seperate tracks on sequence.

Normally when I drag a multicam clip into a sequence, it comes in as one video and one audio clip from which I can select angles using the normal multicam workflow.
However, as of yesterday whenever I try to drag a multicam clip into a sequence, it appears as seperate clips on different tracks (as shown here - imgur)
I know I can get around this by creating a nest for each import and then removing the undesired audio, but I have a lot of clips to get through and I'm hoping to restore my previous workflow. Anyone have any idea why this may have changed, and how I can change it back?
Thanks,
G

Is this anything to do with the 'Insert and overwrite sequence as nests or individual clips' button, top left of the sequence pane?

FCPX does not have New Multicam clip option

I wanted to create a multicam clip. Selected desired clips right click them but there is no New Multiclip option for me?

Multiple clips do not sync, how do I manually create a multicam clip?

I have selected two clips to use in a multicam clip. I created the multicam clip and it put the clips together sequentially instead of stacking them on top of the other. How can I create a sync point or is there some other way to get this accomplished?

Why is "Timecode" not available as an Angle Sync method when creating a Multicam Clip?

I shoot on three cameras in XDCAM HD1080i60.
They all have jammed timecode.
I import (through XDCAM transfer, and then import the files through FCP X)
I assign camera angles (1, 2 and 3) to the clips
I attempt to make a multicam clip and use timecode as a sync method.
I see this:
Can't select timecode. What's the deal?
Everything is up to date. Everything is local (though it was captured to a shared fiber drive and then copied to my iMac.) The clips all have the correct timecode embedded.

Don't know. It appears for me. Are all the clips using the same kind of timecode.

I get "Modified File" message with AVCHD clips after making Multicam clip?

First off, this is only happening to some of the AVCHD clips, and typically not the same ones each time. I've tried trashing the files and re-importing because some clips imported as camera files. There is no DCIM folder in the footage folder. I've re-linked, restared, thrown out ALL the footage, the events, the projects and stared from scratch. The fresh import seemed a-ok this morning until I made the multicam clip.
I selected "create optimized media" and "create proxy media" when I imported. I'm currently transcoding today's offensive clip again, as fcpx seems to think that is possible. Perhaps that will fix it this time, but I've been stuck in a continual cycle of the clips working and then disappearing and being replaced by various red error mesages for the last few days so I'd like to figure out what is wrong with my workflow.
I tried archiving the AVCHD files before importing to the event, but fcpx can't see the files on the computer, so I have to use the version on my external drive. I'm also bringing in AVCHD files from an SD card, but so far today those ones have been fine. The multicam contains a sound file and footage from four cameras: a canon DSLR, a Panasonic GH2, and two Sonycams that create AVCHD files.

There's no automatic way to do this. You'll have to Match Frame the clips into the Source Monitor, find the In/Out timecodes, then load the new clip with audio and go to those same timecodes to set In/Out points. and add just the audio to the sequence.

RE: Help in changing the clip to match the sequence

Hi All,
I'm a novice using premiere Pro CS6 and having problems with something so hoping someone can advise.
Basically I've imported some clips into the project folder. the first clip i imported into the timeline gave me a pop up saying this clip does not match the sequence settings. i had obviously chosen the wrong settings but premiere recognised the mistake and prompted me. Now I opted to change the sequence setting and the clip worked and fitted fully in the program panel when played on there.
however when I choose another clip and drag it into the timeline, the clip has black sides and appears to be smaller in the program panel e.e. it is not fully fitted even tho the drop down is on 'fit' . I had no pop up asking me to change the clip to match sequence setting for this either.
How else do I match this clip to the sequence if no pop up come up to change it?
its prob well simple - but I cant work it out?? please help

Hey tstormSierra,
thanks for your ply.
The problem is that the clip I first put on the timeline was from someone who filmed a boring long clip of a karate fight, so there were no camera angles or view points to play around with. So i basically made edits by making cuts in the clip andplaying around using scale and positioning to give the impression of other camera angles.
Anyhow I cant delete that and put in the other clip as Ive worked hard on it already. I just wondered if there was a manual way of matching the sequence settings, cause all the clips are from the same camera and settings.
In regards to scaling the frame size - i did this and it looked fine, but when I came to use the stabilizer in came up with clip needs to match the sequence settings or somethign like that. This is where I'm struggling cause I cant work out how to to match it.

Multicam clips de-synch - Ready to kill

Okay. I have done this work 3 times now. Synched 2 cameras in a multicam clip.
However I have 2 problems.
1: When I select and move 2 angles the synch is not retained.
2: When I embed the multicam clip in a project or make a compound clip out of the mc clip, some sequences have no sound even though I have selected the proper audio track and ensured that that track is on inside the multicam clip.
Many thanks for help and hair transplants.

Mark,
Then you could set MPEG Streamclip to take it to 1920 x 1080 Pro Res, and test with that in FCPX. The 1440 x 1080 is a convenience for file size, and in realty is meant to provide 1920 x 1080. See:
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1122392
I can only guess that the multiclip routines might not be liking the 1440 x 1080, even though FCPX will play it. I believe that if you were capturing direct, FCPX would change to the full raster 1920 x 1080, but cannot do that with the file you have provided it. Just a guess.

HELP! My images will not drop into a pages!

Hello,
I am writing a large paper with many images. There are probably around 15-20 images already in the paper, with text, but when I tried to drop in another picture it did not show up. I could click 'edit' and it would say 'undo drop' but there was not image to 'undo'. What should I do?

Hi, I'm new to this and for some reason my images are not appearing to full scale on adobe premiere cs6. This is really annoying as I am trying to make a stop motion video but I can't see what I'm doing. Please reply soon, this is an important project. Thanks
Your sequence settings and clip settings are not matching. To make them match, right click on a clip and choose New Sequence from Clip and a new sequence will be created based on your clip settings.

How do I re-enable a Multicam clip

I had a multicam clip already created and have edited it into many sequences. I loaded it into my source monitor and accidently unchecked the enable option. Now that same sequence is no longer a mutlicam clip and when I load it into the source montior, my system crashes. Help, is there any way to make it back in to a multicam clip?

Funny because in my timeline, the original multicam clip still showed green, and right clicking it revealed Premiere still considered it as multicam media. But the same clip in the project window did not have a multicam icon. The audio info column still indicated that it was mutlichannel mapped to 2 stereo tho as well! There's no way for me to reenable multicam except from the source window, but loading it there crashed my system.
So I've re-nested the sequence, and enabled multicam in that new nest, and it seems that all the occurances of the old multicam clip are now linked to the new multicam enabled nest! I dont understand it but i guess it works.
