Multicam Editing: remove all switches in timeline

thanks in advance.
i just realized that my multicam sequence has been "recording" a camera switch in the timeline every time i click on an angle in the viewer. I just want to see it on the canvas, but when i do this, it places a cut in the sequence timeline.
two questions:
(1) how do I undo all of these? in audio, I'd select all of the regions and Join or Merge them. reverting to save is not an option, there's other stuff i'd lose.
(2) how do I stop this from happening in the future?

Well simply put a marker where the multiclip ends in the timeline, select all the clips in the timline except the first one, delete, extend first clip to the marker.
This is the behavior that is expected with a multiclip in the canvas opened in the viewer. I think there are alternate ways to work but since I work this way intentionally I'm not sure exactly how to do it. Reading the manual or the online help would probably give you the info.

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.

Switching audio in multicam editing

I need to switch to the audio on a second camera while doing multicam editing. I can't seem to get the audio off of the fixed camera. Any ideas?

With the Multicam Viewer open (CMD-SHIFT-7), you will see 3 icons in the top left of the viewer pane.
Select the third icon to edit audio only.
That said, if you are trying to delete a portion of the audio track, you can only do this in the Angle Viewer. Double click the multicam clip in the Event Browser. It will open up a new timeline with angles for each camera with audio attached, or individual audio clips. You should be able to mute selections of audio in the master clip with the range tool.
Does that answer your question?

How do I remove "ALL" incontext editing code?

Hi, I am hoping someone maybe able to help...
A while ago I put a site together at applied incontext editing regions. After being notified that it will no longer work in May this year, I decided to purchase contribute and went through the labourious task of removing all incontext editable regions and replacing them with normal editable regions.
I have launched the site in contribute to test that everything works and it keeps coming up with 'You can't edit this page in Contribute because it has "Adobe InContext Editing" region(s).
This is on almost every page on the site but two which it allows me to edit. I have gone back to the Dreamweaver file and checked through the code, I am certainly no code expertI have compared it to sites which didnt have the InContext applied to it... I am baffled
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
Much appreciated
Naomi

I think I can see the problem! - I have updated the file in dreamweaver but it
is not updating the copy on the server when I upload it...
I can see the code that I have deleted still showing at the top of the page - I just cant get it to refresh!
I will try doing it with fetch.....
Just done it with fetch and it works! - Dreamweaver will not refresh the server copy.

How can I edit headers or footers in a section of my PDF doc without removing all of the them?

I have merged several files into a single PDF. I need to edit headers, but I don't want to remove all the headers in the document, only in a particular section. How can I do that? The only option I see is Document, Header and Footer, Remove. That removes EVERYTHING!!!

Please give me someone some tips... and tricks

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

Multicam editing -- keeping the playhead in the timeline position when entering mulitcam editor

Hi, I imagine this question has been asked already but... anyone know how open up the multicam editor from the project timeline and have the playhead land at the point in the multicam timeline where it was in the project editor timeline?

What do you mean with "There were cuts made, but they did not show up in the browser"? The cuts are not supposed to show up in the browser. Did you mean the timeline (your sequence)?

Multicam Edit Really Slow

I am editing DV PAL and have just noticed that there is bug which is delaying my keyboard commands to switch to different cameras in the multicamera window.
Firstly after lining up my two cameras, I exported the audio alone to a wav format so I could mix it from both cameras right. Then imported it back into my project and overlayed the audio in track one of the layered sequence. I muted the audio from both cameras in track 2 and 3. Created another sequence and dragged my layered sequence for multicam edit. Apparently when I start playing with the yellow borders around camera 1, it plays fine but when I change to camera 2 it is just instant and the border now changes to red. If I press 1 for camera 1 it responds after 2 - 3 seconds and carries on like that. At times it appears as if its no longer playing in real time. All the colour correction in the layered sequence have been disabled. I have stopped the editing because I would like to sync some of the sections with music beats in the scene to make it more interesting.
Am I missing something, here or its my sytem or the footage that is just too slow for the editing process? Other than that I might have to push on like that and review the edit once the multicam window is closed. This method will not produce the results I am after. I have done it before and it use to work only slowing down when its coming to the end of at least 50 minutes multicam sequence and this one is just 40 minutes.
All the video files are located on RAID 1.
My system configuration is as follows
APP CS4
HP XW6600
Quad Xeon 5420 2.5Ghz
Vista Business 64bit
Nvidia Quadro FX4600 GPU
8GB RAM
RAID 1 esata
250 GB C drive HDD
750 GB D drive
22" HD monitor.
I have attached a pdf which showed my system perfomance at the time of the multicam edit.

One big bottleneck for the system is the way PPro deals with the audio. For a test, try disabling all the audio. you should see a big performance increase. The trick now is to keep PPro from working too hard on the sound.
Try this - Instead of placing your mixed audio track on track 1 in the source timeline, place it in track 2 of the timeline you actually use for the multicamera editing. Then delete anything in track 1 in this timeline. You can link the video and track 2, but pay attention when you remove material that you are cutting audio 2 as well, to keep everything in sync.
It may still not be perfect, but it should help. You can also disable any color-correction on the tracks until you are finished cutting, as this is a system drag in multicam.
Multicam is overall a bit of a mess in CS4. The delay you see is no fun. You will notice, however, that the actual cut will be at the right moment.

Multicamera Edit Lags in PPro CS4

Hi,
I am experiencing cumulative delays when making multicamera edits using the multicamera window in CS4. I am about halfway through a 2 hour video, and with 2 or 3 streams of HDV 23.976 (Canon) video everything plays fine in the Multicamera window when starting up PPro fresh. As soon as I press a key to switch active streams, the video starts playing very jerky, and it takes 2-3 seconds for the red highlight box to switch to the selected stream. If I continue on without stopping and continue to keyboard select the active multicam window, the delay becomes longer and longer before the red highlight switches to the active stream. And the playback remains jerky. If I stop playback, and start again everything is smooth until I select a different stream in the multicamera window.
Playback of the completed multicam edited sequence from the timeline is fine - no issues at all.
I am running a Core i7 3.0GHz processor with 3GB RAM and multiple SATA 7200K hard drives.
Any thoughts on what may be causing this? I don't remember having this type of multicam edit performance degradation with CS3 on a less powerful machine.

Does any of this help?

Trimming a Multicam sequence (not just switching angles)

I've just started using Premiere 5.5 and I'm trying to see if there's a simpler way to achieve what I need with MultiCam editing. Here's my setup:
I have 3 clips, shot simultaneously from 3 different angles, each lasting about 20 minutes. I want to cut between the different angles AND edit out the dead air/blown lines/etc. The final clip will probably be around 5 minutes.
If I was editing a single clip, I would simply pull it up in the Source Monitor, use Mark In/Mark Out to "grab" the good pieces, and then Insert/Overwrite that footage into the Timeline. Simple no-nonsense way to edit 20 minutes down to 5. But with MultiCam editing, the entire 20-min original footage is already nested in the sequence, and the editing is simply choosing camera angles. If I want to trim the footage in addition to choosing camera angles, it appears I have to go into the TimeLine itself and do all my trimming and dragging from there.
Is there a way to preview the MultiCam footage in the Source Monitor and simply Insert the pieces you want into a brand new sequence? (In addition to choosing the different angles for each piece?) For me, that seems MUCH simpler than having the entire sequence on the Timeline itself and chopping out 75% of it after the fact.
I might be missing something obvious, so please let me know! I've checked out several different Video Tutorials from Adobe but they all focus on a Multicam edit of choosing different angles with no real cuts within the footage itself.
Thanks,
Rich

Not exactly. But there is a workflow that accomplishes what you want in a slightly different way.
What I typically do is to nest the multi-cam edit sequence into what I call a "target" sequence. Then I do my timeline editing on this target sequence. Why? So if I screw it up I don't have to start over from scratch and redo my camera angle choices all over again. I can just delete my target sequence, then create a new one, nest my multi-cam edit sequence in this new one, and start over. Repeat as needed until I get what I want. Typically I'll have three or four of these targets, pulling different bits and pieces out of the results of the multi-cam edit, for web videos, teasers, or to isolate a single topic.
Easy enough to do. When you get done picking camera angles, go to the Program Manager window and click on the "new item" icon on the bottom edge of the window. Select "sequence" from the pop up menu, and name it something you can identify like "target". Then click on the multi-cam edit sequence icon in the Project Manager window, and drag that down to your new timeline. Edit at will -- nothing you do in this new sequence will harm or change anything you did in your multi-cam edit sequence. But, if you change things in your multi-cam edit sequence, this changes will trickle down to your target sequence. So you can still adjust your timing on camera angle switches and these changes will show up in your target sequence.

Multicam Editing in Premiere CC Issue

I downloaded th trial version in Premiere CC and try to edit a multicam project edit about 30 min of footage saved it and close Premiere CC after reopen each cut made on timeline start with the begining of video so like i had 3 cameras and all of them start recording on diferent time i got like black image all over and sometime when i had switched to the camer x what start recording 1st is showing the image
........ any help?

Seems like this thread is the same issue just in different words: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1237142?tstart=0
Sadly, I found out the hard way. I'm another lost soul that was bit by this bug. And on my first day of editing with Premiere Pro CC after using CS6 since last fall. Day one and I already have to shelve the new software til it's fixed. So sad. Makes me really wonder actually how this was never caught and solved in all the time leading up to the release given that if you make any adjustments to your multicam that rewrite any previous multicam edits, then save and reopen the project the issue pops up. Seems like a pretty huge bug to look over or miss. If it was "known" then how can you justify releasing it? It essentially cripples this feature rendering it almost useless.
The bug occurs whenver you go back and "re-edit" or "re-write"...as in hit play and make new cuts as it plays OVER previous edits that you made on a multicam sequence. Simply start any multicam edit, make a few cuts. Stop...go back a bit and hit play and redo some of those cuts in the multicam window (which will overwrite the previous cuts you made). Now save, close and reopen...and there you have a screwed up sequence just like the above videos show.
This is very disappointing. Multicam is broken in Premiere Pro...again. Sad.

edited: As a workaround, after saving and closing an edited multicam sequence, we recommend making subsequent edits through the Timeline rather than the Program Monitor's Mullticam mode.
The caveat here is you must NEVER re-do ANY of your previous edits before you EVER save and close. So if you stop a multicam midway (even on your first time throught it) and decide you want to re-do the previous edits, DO NOT DO IT using the program monitor's multicam window. You now have to use the rolling edit tool to adjust your previous cuts. If you go back, hit play and write over any previous edits the way you're "supposed to" using the multicam window then you're screwed upon reopening your project. This is gonna be fun to see how long it takes for Adobe to fix their broken editing program.
