Multiclip editing, screen reproduction.

I have created an HD, 2 camera, multiclip sequence. I have all the settings on the dropdowns correct according to what I have seen in a search of the discussions. I start out OK in the timeline with changing the views (angles) and all works fine. Then, without warning, both the viewer (with 2 screens) and the canvas with one screen change into multiple screens and multiply until I have tens of small screens. I am on a G4 PowerBook using a 750GB Iomega HDD. I deleted the prefs file, same result. I moved the drive to my MacBook Pro, same problem. I have learned not to daisychain different makes of HDD's so I don't do that. Help please!
Powerbook G4, 1.67GHz, 2Gb RAM, MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4 x La Cie 250Gb, 3 x iOmega 750GB HDD

Hi Neil,
Not sure about all specs.
But I see G5 in your profile.
That's not the most up to date model. I suspect that to be one of the issues.
For multicam you'll need some horsepower as well as bandwidth as well as diskspeed.
Maybe if you cab give some details about your setup, there will be some people over here help you to find the bottleneck and help you solve this problem. But I expect it to turn out that you'll need to invest in some hardware to be able to run 4 or more streams at the same time...
So: What hardware do you have? Which mac. How many RAM. Which version OS, FCP, etc.
From which drives comes the footage? How are the drives connected? (FireWire, Fibrechannel?)
Is this a RAID system? What RAID type?
What is the codec of the footage?
etc.
I'm not into this enough to help you, but there are others out there...

Multiclip editing - what to do if one camera is not continuous synch?

Help!
I've got to edit a one hour show overnight. Two cameras. One camera is shooting continuous, only one stop to change tape. The second camera was stopping and starting all the way through. I synched up the clips of the start\stop camera all the way through on track two. Synched in camera one where it starts up after a tape change. So I have a timeline with the whole show, made up of two tracks of clips. Is there any way I can use the 'multiclip' editing function AFTER I've synched up the two cameras?
The only thing I can think of quickly is to export the two cameras one at a time from the edited timeline, in the same format, and create new contiguous single clips for each all the way through. Then import these new one hour clips to do multi clip editing (all the blanks filled with black slugs). I'd like to avoid all that render time. And a second generation Quicktime.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated,
Ben

I agree that the ol' split screen effect is a good way to edit multiple cameras, if you only have two cameras, it's still a bit of a waste of time. If there are only two shots from which to choose, it's a binary selection. In the olden days, I'd simply turn off the camera 2 track and razor blade out and delete all useless footage from camera 1. The holes MUST be filled by camera 2. Where there are overlapping shots, it should be easy to choose the better.
Your three camera shoot could benefit from two things:
1. A tailboard meeting where you explain why you expect each tape to roll continuously
2. Communication via walkietalkie or wireless intercom (rent them)
3. A big digital clock with seconds hung on a wall where all cameras can see it. If any camera gets stopped (it happens) or batteries die, they can shoot the clock for ten seconds to provide accurate sync..

Both my iPad and iPhone have ios8 On either device in Calendars edit shared with add person when I enter an email address and press add nothing happens - just goes back to edit screen and what I have entered has gone. No error message or any clue

On either device in Calendars> edit >shared with> add person when I enter an email address and press add nothing happens - just goes back to edit screen and what I have entered has gone. No error message or any clue about why I cant share my calendar. Please help.

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

How can I use ALL audio tracks in multiclip editing?

I want to be able to use all audio tracks after the multiclip cut.
It's only a two camera shoot, but I want to be able to use the ambient room sound from the second camera ... and control its level (in relation to the master audio track on the first camera) AFTER the cuts are made.
Is this possible in multiclip editing? And how does one go about it?
Apologies. I've spent an hour or so in the manual, and it isn't clear ... or I'm just not finding the right reference.
All ears,
Ben

Sorry if I'm steering you down a path you don't want to go or even if there's a better way but I wouldn't be ding complex audio mixing anywhere near the multiclip interface. Export your reference movie or nest the multiclip project into another sequence, bring in your additional tracks, get to work. Just my preferences, I put a bunch of rough keyframes in the audio tracks and enter some markers (and make a lot of paper notes). Then I go back using the large mixer window to do the fine tweaking.
Stick around for a couple of days, some other multiclip users with more experience than I will offer some more useful suggestions.

Your coding mask is exceeding the limit of 24 characters(including special characters). Reduce some characters to make it 24 or less then 24.

Help with multiclip editing in FCP

Can someone please help me with multiclip editing. I have followed all the steps in the tutorials I have watched but I am unalble to switch between the two angles in the time line. Also the red line in the time line is telling me to render everything first . Is that normal or is it because I am using the 5.0 version of FCP?

To switch between angles, the timeline should not be rendered. Once you render it, it may play more smoothly, but you can't switch.
Also, sometimes you may have trouble switching many HD files, so it might work better to use Media Manager to make lower resolution proxies for your editing, then bringing the full-res files back for your final output. If the computer can't handle the load, it may refuse to do multiclip editing.
Finally, you may need to switch Playhead Sync back to "Open" from time to time. For some reason, the Viewer sometimes switches to "Sync Off".
By the way, your question actually belongs on the Final Cut Studio forum:

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Missing RAW editing screen in PSE8 Trial version

Can anyone help me with this one?
I have previously used PSE6. When opening a RAW image I have first gone through a RAW Editor screen before editting in PSE6. When
I open a RAW image in the TRIAL version of PSE8 it takes me straight to the PSE Editor, missing out the RAW editing stage. My camera is an Olympus E510, about 2 years old.
The HELP files clearly show the RAW editing operation so I know the functionality is in PSE8. It seems to assume that the RAW editing screen opens automatically and I can't see what else to do. In desperation I turned on the FILE FORMATS Plug In to see if that would help - it didn't. I need to know there is a RAW Editor that I can use before purchasing the software.
Adobe have told me that they don't support the Trail version and so won't answer my question... Not exactly a recommendation of good customer service if their pre sale support is zero! Their official answer to the above question was that they did not support PSE6 anymore and that I should upgrade to PSE8 Their last suggestion was to ask this group.
If anyone has PSE8 and is prepared to try a .ORF file for me I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Keith

Issue with Add/Edit screen list values

Hi,
I have a requirement in ADF application to list down one table as initial screen. From that screen I can go to add screen or edit screen.
Currently in adding screen, I am collecting all the data to a backing bean and finally when save is clicked i am transferring value to View programmatically.
In my add screen i have some fields in list. Some of them are master details list also. They are independent LOV bindings.
Currently while saving I can access all the values from backing bean, But for list fields I am getting index values only. Due to that I have mapped corresponding attributeValues to get its primary key to save.
But when i go to edit screen, how to i get and map this index value back to list so that it will show proper value selected, exactly like how it was showing on add screen?
Regards,
Santhosh

You may consider the below suggestion which needs no manual coding for creating new record as opposed to your current way of collecting data into bean and transferring value to view and then saving it.
a. In add screen page, drop the view object from the data control as ADF Form without navigation buttons
b. As you want the creation form when the page is loaded, add createInsert method binding to the pagedef and then add invokeAction executable binding to createInsert with refresh mode as renderModel(you can specify refreshCondition too if you want to provide any)
c. Add Commit as button

My nokia N-70 Music Edition Screen displayed blank...

Hi
nokia N-70 Music Edition Screen displayed blank after few hours.After Removing battery,put again & start it becomes ok for few hours.I have already updated the Software Nokia N-70 but no advantage.
Wht should i do?

strange enough some of the pre-installed apps on the N70 are on the memory card and not the phone memory. which means formatting the memory card will remove everything. it's difficult to get everything back but try these :
1- try to find what you need on the n70 support page
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144775
check phone software.
2- if you have the download app installed on your phone , run it and check for the app there.if not check the nokia download store. http://www.download.nokia.com/
3- if your mamory card is not the original provided with the phone, locate your old memory card. using a computer copy and paste the following folders from the old original one to the new one:
* resource
* sys
* private (copy the subdirectories only and not the whole folder)
4- if something is still missing after all this, i guess it's gone for good
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Multiclip editing does not update Canvas window with active angle

Hi,
I am trying to do some multiclip editing but for some reason when cutting between angles the canvas viewer does not update with the video. Once I stop playback the cuts are all created properly and the video changes when playing back again. However, when editing the video does not change to the active angle. The audio changes but the video does not.
I have the multiclip playback setting in RT enabled and the canvas and viewer windows synced and matching each other when playing back, and video + audio is set in the sync menu.
I'm now stuck! and would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks
Phil

Welcome to the family.
I don't mean to brush you off because I understand your frustration. But what we know about mutliclip is that it really does work, if you follow the rules completely. We also know that most of the "multiclip doesn't work" posts are resolved by encouraging the user to be objective and to simply recheck the setup steps in the manual, one at a time. (Editorially speaking: There are too many of them, there are too many stupid gotchas in the multiclip setup. True. Hope springs eternal that FCP6 may fix many of these things. It should be a one-click solution.)
You can search for multiclip here and, after filtering out the nonsense from elitists like me, you should be able to detect something in your configuration that might be keeping you from getting the performance you are expecting.

Multiclip editing not cutting, Markers dissappear when stop playing

Im doing a multiclip edit for the first time and im having issues!
I have the 3 angles i need set up and sync in a multiclip and can get it playing fine ie viewer has the 3 angles playing at once and select angle is showing in the canvas. I play the clip and begin to add cut points (by clicking on angle when i want to change to it) a marker appears in the timeline as it should but when i stop playing all the markers disappear and im back to square-one again!!!!
As far as i can tell the setting are correct, i have the viewer set to open and multiclip playback enabled and all looks great it just wont insert the cut points!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I'm no longer using 5.x, but I remember some odd bug with multiclips doing only a Switch to (instead of a Cut to) which results in the behavior you're mentioning: the markers disappearing as soon as you stop playback. I believe the issue was either related to being in a customized, but unsaved custom keyboard layout.
I guess what I'm saying is: does going to Tools > Keyboard Layout and selecting either layout (Default or Multiclip) affect the issue?

Iphoto 11 has black edit screen

My iphoto 11 pictures are not visible in the edit screen and the slideshow will not run. I've tried everything that I know and I'm at the point of deleteing iPhoto and do a clean install. However, I'm not clear on the procedures and if I need to purchase iPhoto (it came pre-installed on my mid 2010 macbook pro). Or should I need do a clean install on my mountain lion?

Next move:
reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

How can I open the editing screen?

I downloaded the PR app, I can look at the tutorial and upload files. But I cannot get the editing screen. Any help is welcome.

Without system info and a better explanation of what you actually do or even what program you are actually referring to, nobody can help you.

Custom Validation in ESS Edit Screen

All,
We have a requirement in ESS Address screens that all country users should key in only English Data. We are in SAP ESS SP12 and all the Address Components are in WD Java. The validation on all the address screen fields for this requiement has to be handled and give an error message back to the user.
The Options that I Checked out were:
1) Handling the Validation through BADI HRPAD00INFTYUI or HRPAD00INFTYBL.
2) Handling the validation in WD Java layer inside the country spoecific components isConsistent method of the Detail View Component controller
Which is the best place (ABAP or JAVA) to handle Custom validations on the Edit Screen and give back message to the user? Please suggest if any other better options are available other than the above mentioned ones.
Regards,
Nagarajan.

Hi,
Both are doable if you are good in java and have NWDI ,handling validations in the wd java layer is easy. If you are good in ABAP you can handle in ABAP.It depends on how you write your code, if you do validations in java and if your validation fails you can show errors to user right away which will reduce your call to backend at isconsitent method for checking the errors.
Thanks,
