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.

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.

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.

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.

My MacBook running Mountain Lion does not allow me to view any videos on the Internet. The place where the video is supposed to be just shows black rectangle. Is there anything I can do to make videos on line work?

Cannot play youtube - it shows black view screen.

: ) Greeting to all,
I have problem in playing youtube videos recently.
I showed black screen when I click on the video to play (I have inserted the image to show what I mean).
I really don't know why and how to fix it.
Searched information and was suggested to uninstall flash but don't know how to do that and not sure if that will solve the problem.
Help, please.
Regards.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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!
- Ryan

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.

Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen

Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen, im not talking about the channels logo here, that works fine.
It's when you have subscribed to the feed and the podcasts are downloaded to your Apple mobile device and you view your podcasts on screen, down the left it has little video thumbnails of the episodes.
In my case apart from one episode they all show a black video thumbnail and I want to show our logo or ideally a frame from that episode say 5 seconds in would do.
Thanks for any help.
Podcast URL: http://www.beddysblog.com/podcast/supercarspin/supercarspin.xml

I don't know exactly how the iPod works in this context: in iTunes, when subscribing, the image you see for each episode is either the first chapter image of an 'enhanced' podcast or an image which has been embedded in the file. I don't know what it does with movie files - possibly the first frame. You could subscribe in iTunes on your PC and see what shows there.
In any event, you should be able to embed an image of your choice in each file (you would then need to re-upload it). The method is described here:

Deleting multiclips and getting the right angle number

Hi,
When I try to create a multiclip it gets the wrong angle number.
The clips I have are called "Camera1_Take 17", "Camera4_Take7" ect., and I added an angle number for each clip in the browser. Nevertheless, when I want to create a multiclip FCP just ads it as angle 1. If I try to create multiclips for an entire bin (containing clips from the same camera/angle), I get as many angles as there are clips.
And for this reason I now have a number of multiclips I can't use. How do I delete those from my project?
Thanks!
EM

Are you saying that you have multiple clips from the same angle and want to combine them as one "angle?"
Won't work. Even if they're designated the same angle number, FCP will add them as a new angle.
I don't like it either.
The best workaround is to create a sequence for each angle and lay them out with the proper timing. Hopefully you used matching free run timecode?
Just delete the multiclips from your browser. It won't delete the media, just the reference clip.

Report Document not show on Crystal Report Viewer in C#

My program is modified from VB.NET. Now I struck with Crystal Report that Crystal Report Viewer didn't show Report Document.
Printing code is composed of two forms. One assign parameters and objects need. Other is Crystal Report Viewer form, CrystalReportForm. Last one run report by parameter from the first.
When run this code that it didn't found any error but the problem is no report show on Crystal Report Viewer on second form. It just blank Crystal Report Viewer. There arm't any message response.
Here is my code.
// report caller form.
private void Print()
   CrystalReportForm rptForm = new CrystalReportForm();
   string[] strtbl;
strtbl = new string[1];
   string[] strqry;
strqry = new string[1];
   // prepare var
   string myqry;
   string myrpt;
   // Pass The Table That you used in the crystal Report
strtbl[0] = "r_receipts";
   // Pass the Query
myqry = "SELECT * FROM r_receipts";
myrpt = "rptReceipts.rpt";
strqry[0] = myqry;
   //Pass For Mdi True
rptForm.MdiParent = this.ParentForm;
rptForm.ViewReport(myrpt, strtbl, strqry, "");
   //Parameter Value It is Optional
rptForm.Show();
// Crytal Report Viewer form.
public void ViewReport(string ReportName , string[] TableName, string[] QueryString , string Parameter = "")
   //Me.MdiParent = mainpage;
   if (TableName.Length != QueryString.Length )
   MessageBox.Show("Passed Variable Are Not Correct", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
   return;
   CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
   CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer crv = new CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer();
crv.ActiveViewIndex = 0;
crv.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
crv.ToolPanelView = CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ToolPanelViewType.None;
crv.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
crv.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
crv.Name = "CrystalReportViewer";
   MySqlDataAdapter at =new MySqlDataAdapter();
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   for (int i = 0; i < TableName.Length; i++)
at = GetDataAdeptor(QueryString[i]);
at.Fill(ds, TableName[i]);
   string rptPath = "";
rptPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + ReportName;
rpt.Load(rptPath);
rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
   if (Parameter != "")
rpt.SetParameterValue(0, Parameter);
crv.ReportSource = rpt;
crv.Refresh();
   //CrystalReportViewer.DataBind();
   //Me.Panel1.Controls.Add(CrystalReportViewer);
   Panel panel1 = new Panel();
panel1.Controls.Add(crv);

Hi Bhushan,
It's not yet fixed. My dataset (ds) can't bine to DataGridView as
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds
But it could do like this
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
When I bine to Crystal Report Viewer setdatasource
CrystalReportViewer1.setdatasource = ds.Tables[0];
It still not work, anyway you suggest let me in the right way. I very confuse the thing I fix to bine to DataGridView
Thank,
Chaiwat

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album
