Multiclip angles disappearing

Hi I am running FCP 5.1 and I'm using multiclips either 3 or 4 angles.
I am experiencng at time the information for the multiclip disappears and only one angle takes over as a default.
Also I ma having different angles drop off and become black and unusable in the multiclip window.
Any help will be gladly appreciated!

Many thanks for that .. it seems obvious now you've told me!!

  • Multiclip angles dissappear

    Help ..
    Could anyone tell me why my multiclip angles dissappear from the viewer as soon as I hit play. Only the active angle shows. They come back when I stop.
    Sometimes it all works fine, sometimes it doesn't .. and I don't seem to be doing anything different!
    It seems to work when there is a green line at the top of the timeline, but I've yet to figure out how to get this line to go green if it isn't!! I have managed to get it to go green by clicking all over the place .. but don't know what I actually did.
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • Multiclip angle disappears when I click on the file

    I've created a multiclip of two video angles and one sound source. When I click on the clip in the event browser, the angles show up properly in the angle viewer. But when I clip on the display at the top of the event browser, only one video angle shows up.
    And when move the clip to the storyline for editing, it's also missing.
    This is driving me crazy! I've already trashed the prefs. This has never happened before.
    -- all clips play fine separately.
    -- all clips sync properly
    -- same video clip disappears each time.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Good question:
    Here's a screen grab of that angle sitting in the timeline by its lonesome. It just doesn't like to be part of a multiclip and I can't figure out why.

  • 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.

  • Final cut - multiclip angles ~Help!

    Hey all ~
    I am at the tail end of a video project - there are 8 video sequences involved.All are finished except for one stubborn sequence in which the multiclip within the sequence will not show all four angles when I'm playing it, thus I can't cut my angles. (hope that made sense)
    I can't figure out why it won't do it - I have a reworked the sequence and multiclip a few times now, but whenever I start the footage to cut the angles, only the active angle syncs to playback in the viewer.
    I learned the program from experience and so I may be missing something simple, but it's driving me nuts! Someone please run me through what you do to get all angles in a multiclip to sync to playback with the canvas, so that I can cut my angles in real time.

    I don't know if this solves it but I was JUST having that same freakin' issue and I was going outta MY mind!
    HERE'S THE ANSWER!!!(at least it was for me): Make sure your timeline isn't rendered PRIOR to doing multicam/multiclip editing.
    I have about 50 multiclips that I (edited) layed down in a sequence last night. I went home and obviously the timeline rendered itself (since that's the pref I setup). I got to it this morning and I would try to edit on the fly...it wouldn't work...then I'd change some stuff and it would start playing realtime. And, of course, I couldn't figure out what I did...until I did.
    After changing the angle while the picture was static (thus UNrendering the multiclip), then pushing spacebar (with the timeline activated so I could hear the audio), everything started working/playing real time again.
    I just figured it out and almost wanted to quit the biz for being so stupid.
    I know you posted this 2 months ago but hopefully this helps anyone from here on out.

  • Can't see multiclip angles in viewer

    Hello
    I created a multiclip, as I have done numerous times in the past.  However, this time, when I drag the clip to the timeline, the angles don't appear in the Angle Viewer.  I just get black slugs.  The multiclip plays and I can cut between angles, but there is no visual represnetation of the video in the Angle Viewer.  This is not related to rendering, as I have just created the clip in the timeline.
    Thanks...

    Hi, Tom
    Thanks for your insight.
    I shoot with JVC 700 cameras.  QT movie files are captured on SDHC cards.  I drag the files to my hard disk and then import into FCPx.  I check the optimize and proxy options, so the only conversion possible is being done by FCPx.  I tried making multiclip with both the proxy and original media with the same results.
    Funny thing is, I've been doing this since FCPx came out and this is the first time anything like this happened.

  • 5.0.4 -- Multiclip Markers Disappearing

    Hello, just spent an hour placing markers in a multiclip and when I changed the camera angle they all disappeared.
    I'm editing an HD feature and thought I'd try the multiclip thing with the 3 camera car mount scenes.
    I read that this was supposedly fixed in 5.0.3, but it's back again??
    What was the solution here? Trashing prefs and restarting didn't do it.
    Thanks!

    you need to make sure that the viewer window, the playhead sync menu is set to open.
    doing this allows the timeline playhead, viewer playhead, and canvas playhead to be synced together as one. allowing you to switch from angle to angle making marks and making cuts in a multiclip.
    also make sure that you are actually cutting, that will show the markers, switching wont.

  • Multiclip markers disappear

    The release notes for 5.0.3 mention a bug like this, but I am running 5.0.3 and the problem persists--
    I've created a multiclip from 2 DV clips, then proceeded to make a series of markers in the multiclip. When I later open the multiclip in the viewer, the markers are visible both in the viewer and in the browser. When I do about anything with the multiclip in the viewer (namely select one of the 2 clips by clicking on its image in the viewer), all of the markers disappear both from the viewer and the browser. Anyone else experiencing this problem in 5.0.3?

    Welcome to the forum kid!
    Maybe a workaround would be to add the markers to the original clips THEN make the multiclip out of those markered clips?

  • Can Premiere Pro display multiclip angles via transmit to an external monitor?

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

    I've seen informational programs on working in an editing/grading suite with clients, even to doing so with say a client and the editor on one continent, and the colorist on another continent, with screen-sharing programs. Setting up to do that they had one monitor for their basic controls, a program monitor, and a larger (and spendy) b-cast quality monitor for the person running the station, and another monitor set to the side that could be switched to either show the b-cast monitor signal or program monitor OR the basic controls, depending on what they needed to show to the client. And this one was typically a calibrated but nowhere near as expensive monitor as the "working" monitors.

  • Multiclip with different aspect ratio

    I'm noticing that when I try to do a multiclip with a movie format that involves a different aspect ratio than DV I lose the ability to view live multiclip angles. I've tried several formats and it doesn't appear to be codec related. If the aspect ratio of the sequence is 4:3 or 16:9(natively, not anamorphically), the options from the RT menu disappear including the "Multiclip playback" option, and even without putting it into a sequence it won't play back in the Viewer.
    I'm making offline JPEG versions of some HD footage which is 16:9, and I guess I can just make anamorphic versions to work with, but that seems highly unnecessary. Am I reading this problem correctly and if so is there any reason for it or is it a bug?

    I'm multiclipping 4 angles, they're photo jpeg movies as made by Compressor's JPEG 75 NTSC setting but resized to 640x360 with square pixels. The material is located on an external firewire drive. From the same source I'm still able to play 6 or 7 standard-def NTSC DV files as multiclip angles just fine.

  • Reopened a multiclip session and 'Program' shows in both Viewer & Canvas ??

    Hi Fellow FCPittes, __ ( FCP v5.0.4 on the Q/S dual cpu )
    I worked on a small 2 camera multiclip yesterday just fine, but when I opened it today the multiclip loaded immediately into the Viewer, which in itself is strange, and I now have the 'Program' video in both Viewer and Canvas.
    When I try to continue editing, as soon as I run it (spacebar in either timeline or Canvas) the 2 camera multiclip in the Viewer disappears and changes to the program video and I can't see the multiclip angles. As soon as I stop, they show up again.
    I tried an autosaved version, but it's too far back to be of use (had it set to a/s every 50mins - shortened it now) and I've also tried shutting down and reloading.
    If I do a modification to a section, say remove a couple of clips and stretch out a clip, the normal multiclip function returns fine, JUST for that modified area, but returns to the above in the sections not modified...
    Tough one, I know - but maybe 'you' have had this problem and know the fix...
    Thanx...
    Nick. . .

    Well, there may be some settings to check -
    It is possible, and usually desirable to get the viewer to play in sync with the timeline for mutlitclip editing by choosing "open" from the sync dropdown in the viewer. However, you usually have to open the multiclip from the timeline to the viewer first, and then change the sync setting each time you open something new into the viewer.
    It should not be possible to open the sequence into the viewer and the timeline/canvas at the same time.
    Check the view dropdown in the viewer and make sure it isn't set to Multiclip - 1-up, which would show you only the currently active angle of the multiclip.
    If all else fails, trash prefs.

  • Multiclip playback settings

    I've run into a new issue (for me anyway) with multiclip editing. I'm working with a two-angle multiclip, editing in real time, and everything has been working fine. I walked away from the project, came back later, and suddenly the multiclip angles aren't showing up in the viewer anymore. It only displays the active angle during playback, then shows the multiclip angles when play is paused, or during scrubbing. To my knowledge, I didn't change any settings. Multiclip playback is enabled in the timeline, Playhead sync is set to open...What am I missing?

    All I can suggest is that you close the project, relaunch FCP, and go through the multi setup one more time, step by step.

  • How get multiclips to stay in viewer when playing/editing in timeline?

    I just started editing in multiclip. I can get my 3 multiclip clips to show in the Viewer on a 4-up display, but when I play the Timeline, the Viewer jumps to full frame active view. I've set the RT at Multiclip Playback, set the Open option on the Playhead Sync menu, and set Multi-clip 4-up Display. What am I doing wrong or missing?
    How can I get the multiclips 4-up display to stay in the Viewer when I play the Timeline?
    Thanks,

    There are 2 things to check.
    1. Has your timeline been rendered? I ask this because I was given a 3 camera multiclip project from another editor here, and with all of my settings checked, I still couldn't get the multiclips to show on my external when playing back. Once playback was stopped or the playhead scrubbed, then the 4-up display would return. Just for kicks, I cleared his render cache and bingo, 4-up returned on playback.
    2. In the View menu, is "Show Multiclip Angles" checked? (It's at the very bottom of the menu).

  • FCP multiclip

    Hi all,
    I am facing problem in FCP multiclip . Before making multiclip when I am puting color correction filter in two clip and then do switching the FCP quit on its own. But when I am not applying the filter and make the multiclip then do switching it become fine.
    Please help .

    When my multiclip angles have continuity breaks, I have had success in assembling the pieces into a sequence, matching the sequence to the tape TC, exporting a reference movie and re-importing it as a continuous angle for my multiclip. I apply the reel name to the reference movie as well. If the tape has continuous TC, with sotps and starts in the recording, recapture would not work with this method, but it does get the gaps out of the multiclip angle.

  • Multiclip Color Correction

    So I have a 3 angle multiclip - I place it in the time line, play it and edit it. Now I want to color correct. The manual says I can drag a color correcter filter from the effects browser onto the timeline clip where I am offered the option of 'apply to source angle' which I do as I am told this will allow me to alter the settings for the whole of that angle each time it appears in the timeline edit. However, this is not what happens, it only effects the one piece I dragged the filter onto. Every subsequent time that angle appears it does not have the filter on it. Additionally the manual says to see filters rendered to multiclip angles choose "Render Filters in Multiclip Display from the View pop up menu" - this option is not in the View pop up menu.....
    any ideas?

    This probably isn't the norm. But, I've been color correcting and when I have numerous pieces in the same scene that can use the same color correction I just click on filters and copy all. This copies all the filters and then just go down the line and copy into each sequence. For me it goes very fast. If you're just using Color Correction, in the upper left corner are two arrows facing each direction, if you click the first in either direction it copies that CC to the next clip. If you hit the second it goes two clips over.
