Multicamera Editing in CS4: Start / Stop Points Lost

I'm working on a larger project. I'm using multicamera switching in my sequences.
When I set a start and end point in my sequence, and then make a change in the Multi-Camera Monitor Window, the start/stop points are lost, and I have to find them again. This is extremely irritating, especially when the the project is in an advanced stage.
What was Adobe thinking in designing this behaviour, and what can I do about it?

I suppose for now, I'll just change the camera in the clip's context menu, but you'd think there'd be a more mature way to handle this.

Previewing edits and start/stop points

OK, so I'm still new to this program (I've worked with ProTools and Cakewalk, but this is a bit different), so please bear with me. I'm trying to sample and adjust the different plugins for a track, but I'm running into trouble on two different fronts, thus two different questions:
1. Is there any way for me to preview any adjustments I make to the plugins before I implement them into the automation? That way, if I feel like something is wrong, I can simply re-adjust without having to rewrite the automation?
2. How do I select specific starting and stopping points within the track while editing and doing automation? As in, when I press stop twice, it goes back to a specific point in the song (as opposed to the beginning).

Hey Onigami,
we talked about last week here.
Why don't you run the plug-ins on several busses and do a volume automation on the bus?
2. when you see the (yellow line - volume) (press V on seleted track) click on the line with the cursor to add points (dots) then drag them.
Press the loop tool or simply press and drag with the mouse up in the measure bars numbers (light green line) and it loop over the selection.
to resume from the beginning press return, if you don't have the punch in or loop engaged (both green) when you press the space bar twice it should resume from where it stoped, if any of these are on it allways start from the selected point.
Best regards,
Jorge

Possible to Start/Stop Mark Clips In Timeline?

Hello,
I'm using FCP5 on a Dual 2.7 G5 running 10.4.2
I captured a couple of DV tapes, added a Time Code Generator, and gave the footage to a client on DVD so that they could create a list of shots to not include in the final edit.
I took this list and went through making cuts at the client's listed start and stop Time Codes. The problem I am having is some of the clips left on the timeline have camera start/stop points. I would like to mark these using "DV Start/Stop Detect" so that I could create new edit points between each start/stop of the camera.
I can double click each clip in the timeline... opening it in the viewer... and then select "Mark>DV Start/Stop Detect" and this does exactly what I want. It is very tedious though. Is there anyway to automate this process for each clip in the timeline. I hope I explained what I am trying to do clearly. If not please ask questions and I can fill in details.
Thank You,
Matt

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it would have been alot smarter to run the Start/Stop Detection as my first step after capturing. I'm new to FCP, and my old NLE (Premiere Pro 1.5) would break the Camera Start/Stops into separate .avi files on the hard drive and in the project window / browser. I just didn't think about it this time... but definitely will next time.
What I ended up doing is using the track forward selection tool to select all the clips in the timeline that I wanted to mark. I created a new bin in the browser and put all of my clips in the timeline in this new bin (creating subclips?)
Then I selected all of these clips in the browser and ran the Start/Stop Detect tool. After it finished I sorted all the newly marked clips in my browser by their in points. I then selected all of my clips, dragging them back into the timeline. I put them on a new track so that I could make sure everything lined up correctly. It did. It ended up being a pretty simple fix. Just had to think about it a bit over dinner.
Thank You,
Matt

How can I create individual clips after doing DV start/stop locate?

I know how to take a clip and have FCE mark the DV start/stop points, but is there a way to have FCE then automatically make individual clips based on the DV in/out points?

Yes, that's actually what is 'behind the scene' in each subclip. This is actually a very powerful thing, as you will discover as you gain experience editing.
Yes, they act as if they are completely independent of each other, you can apply further edits, filters, effects etc. to each subclip individually.
Switching from iMovie to FCE takes some adjustment, that's for sure. But FCE is much much more capable than iMovie.
I encourage you to get a copy of Tom Wolsky's excellent book - Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop. It's the best thing available to get you started with FCE ... and it includes a DVD where he shows you the differences between using iMovie and FCE. Tom has also recently produced an FCE training DVD, too, Final Cut Express HD Made Easy, and he is an active participant in this forum.

Print to Video Start Stop recording

Hello
Ok is their any way to have FCP mark a Start Stop after each clip when recording a timeline with many clips. So that when recaptured it imports each clip in the Timeline as an individual clip.
Perhaps their is another software for this.
I have been reading the Manual back and fourth cant find out how to add start stop points. I have tried markers transitions blank space. Nothing wants to work.

Thank you for your help.
Your suggestion got me to come up with a few other things which led me to what I am going to do.
I still am going to try the Adobe thing I'll let you know how that goes.
I will have a directory with markers one for each tape on a USB stick.
A black slug around 2 frames in between each clip and enough black to start off and to end with as to keep every frame.
One thing though.
The reason I was trying to do start and stop was in the event someone else needed to record the Tape but I will probable be the only one to do such.

Set video start end points- trim

I brought a short .mov into my keynote and want to trim the start/stop points but the ability to do so is crude in keynote unless I'm missing something... All I can see is to move the start/stop points with the mouse in the inspector... but very crude movement if I want to catch a certain endpoint. Is there a better way? i.e. keyboard control of endpoints or such?

Hi Robert,
I don't think there is. I'd suggest taking the clip into iMovie (or Quicktime) and cropping it more finely that way.

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?

Starting/Stopping Oracle 10g Personal Edition

Just wondering how one starts & stops 10g PE?
Oracle asks for Host credentials and database credentials.
SYS doesn't seem to work and as there is no security settings under Admin (in PE) I can't create my login as a SYSDBA.
Suggestions appreciated!

PE is actually a superset of EE (Enterprise Edtion), with all EE options except RAC. It is targetted towards developers and designed to allow a develolper access to all of the capabiltites
Therefore, you can search the docs to find out how to start/stop the database's instance[s] and any reference to the Enterrprise Edition will be valid in your case. If I remember correctly, there is a chapter in the Installation Guide that covers the topic.
IN any case, PE is only licensed on Windows (presumably because developers only work in Windows???), so:
- Go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
- Ensure the TNS Listener service is running first
- Start the Oracle service
The questions you ask indicate you are confused about the relationship between SYSDBA and the OS userid. I strongly encourage reading the first 2 chapters of the Concepts manual (at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1) to get a decent starting point.

Ken Burns start and stop points

In iMovie, when using the Ken Burns effect how can I set the start and stop points to be the same? I don't want to just use "Crop" because my understanding is that using the Ken Burns effect will result in a clearer still photo.

The renderer that is used when the Ken Burns effect is on does give a clearer still photo when converted to video. On an older version of iMovie I could set the startpoint and then use a key-sequence that was a shortcut to set the endpoint to be the same as the startpoint. I was hoping there was a similar feature with the newer version of iMovie. Then I wouldn't have to adjust the start and stop rectangles for a 100 photos.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

I agree it would be useful. It's something that's been asked for. The best thing is to keep requesting at the Lightroom feature request forum

If it's happening on multiple devices the only thing I could suggest is a downgrade to 10.2.1 if the issue becomes too bothersome. Make sure to do a backup before downgrading as you will lose all information.

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.
Mark Mapes wrote:
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.
