Multiclip Editing-The Viewer

Sorry if this has been addressed in previous topics.
I am editing a multiclip in the Timeline. The big problem I can't seem to resolve is that my Viewer will not show 4-up when I play and edit the Timeline. The Canvas and Viewer each display the identical clip. When I pause or stop, the Viewer will then show the 4 up. I have changed the playhead sync to "Open" and also enabled Multiclip Playback in the Timeline RT pop-up as indicated in the tutorials, but this does not solve the problem.
Could sure use some suggestions.

I too have had this very frustrating problem, and have repeatedly made sure that sync was open, played around with different playback options - in other words taken all the logical steps, read through the manual many times, etc. The especially frustrating part is that this is in sequences that previously worked - i.e., the sequence was playing correctly with "3 up", or 3 cameras showing in the viewer - and then for no apparent reason, only one camera (the active one) would show.
The only thing that worked for me, after much experimentation with starting new projects, new sequences, and even reloading the Final Cut software, was to change my user settings on the G5, and log in as a new user. What I ended up doing was logging out under my administrator account and creating a new account, then opening my Final Cut project in my new account on the G5 - and it seems to have worked. Possibly something got corrupt in my user settings; I don't know.
It's a terribly inelegant solution, and I would welcome some other thoughts for a better option. In the meantime, if this helps anyone as a "work-around" if you're banging your head against the wall as I was on this problem, then great.
As an Avid editor for many years, when the system started doing something quirky like this I would have trashed my Avid user settings and logged into Media Composer as a different user. Since Final Cut doesn't ask for a User name when you open the software, as Avid does, it seems like changing your user settings at the G5 is sort of the next best thing. Ideally there should be a way to correct User corruptions from within the Final Cut environment. If such a method exists, I am not aware of it.

Unable to Edit the View in Custom Component

Hi Experts,
Please help me to resolve this issue !
I am unable to lock the BOL Entity in my custom component using BTAdminH. I have written the below code in the Edit event Handler for Edit Button. The lr_entity->lock( ) condition statement is getting false and it is skipping the "set_view_editable( me )." code statement. Why??
This is code excerpt that I have taken from edit button of the BP_HEAD/AccountViewSet and altered to my component/View
DATA: lr_entity     TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,
        lr_controller TYPE REF TO cl_ZVKH8_bspwdcomponent_impl.
TRY.
      lr_controller ?= me->comp_controller.
      lr_entity ?= lr_controller->typed_context->btadminh->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF lr_entity IS BOUND.
IF lr_entity->IS_LOCKED EQ abap_false.
    IF le_entity->IS_CHANGEABLE EQ abap_true.
       IF lr_entity->lock( ) EQ abap_true.
        me->view_group_context->set_view_editable( me ).
       ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
and when I directly executed the below code in the Edit event Handler for Edit Button I am receiving the dereferencing NULL value exception. Why in my custom component in many places this happening??
me->view_group_context->set_view_editable( me ).
Exception Details
CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL - Dereferencing of the NULL reference
Method: ZL_ZVKH8_DETAILSEF_IMPL=>EH_ONBACK
Thanks,
Bujji

Hi Summit & NishaNC,
Thanks for your responses !
As suggested, I have debugged the code for ->lock( ) method and there are exceptions raised from some methods.
Method GET_LOCK () -> Method GET_ROOT () ->Method GET_PARENT ()
At GET_ROOT( ) method i have received an exception
"Root entity BTAdminH could not be determined" and one more "Entity BTAdminH could not be locked"
Later when I have checked in MODEL Browser, I found that the BOL object "BTAdminH" for my view is an Access object and not the Root Object.
Hence, I have a question? Does the locking can be done only for ROOT Objects?
If this is TRUE then I think this is the major problem with my custom component where even the cross component navigation is also not happening and in many places I am receiving "Dereferencing NULL Value" information.
Also I have gone through some of the Threads and one information that I found from Sumit Mittal
1. An access object is an independent entity, has primary keys of its own.
2. A root object is a special access object that is at the top of the hierarchy based on business rules.
3. A dependent object's primary keys are supplied by access objects and it's lifetime is bound to them. If the parent object is destroyed, the dependent object is also destroyed.
4. Search objects are query objects useful for querying root objects
5. Search result objects - Search objects return the results in the form of a result object together with a relation pointing to the root object.
6. View objects - ?
7. Dynamic search objects - Used in advanced search, supports ranges and operators
Could you please specify in which scenarios we have to go for Access Objects and Root Objects
Thanks,
Bujji

After render multiclip playback in Viewer full screen

I double clicked and loaded a multiclip into the Viewer from the Browser. Then I did an overwrite edit of the multiclip into the timeline. There are just two cameras, using four-up display in the Viewer. Then I did the cuts the way I liked them. Then I applied color correction to one of the clips. It played back in realtime and the corrections showed up in the canvas and everything played back in the Viewer in the four-up view. However, after I rendered the sequence, the clips that had the color correction applied appear full screen in the Viewer Window on playback and the ones with no correction (or any other filter) appear in the four-up display in the Viewer on playback. Is there a way to get the color correction to be applied and rendered and still have the clip play with the other one in four-up in the Viewer? Or should I have done the color correction to both clips before I even created the multiclip?

Have you tried collapsing the clips in the multi-clip sequence?
My workflow goes like this...
Edit my multi-clip sequence completely, then with my cuts the way I want them, I 'collapse' the clips and apply my color correction to each clip.
If I find I need to change a shot, I can 'un-collapse' that shot (which then shows 4up in viewer aggin), make my shot changes, then collapse and check/change color correction.
I believe there is an 'option-click' function that enables color correcting within an uncollapsed multiclip, but I'm not at that system and am unable to confirm right now.
Don't know if that helps, but I think the collapse/un-collapse route may be part of the issue.

Multiclip edits not "sticking"

Since upgrading to 7.0 it seems to be acting weird.
I sync my clips, create multiclip, drag to timeline, etc.
I play back, while doing real-time switches with my number keys. As I do them, little markers appear above the timeline, showing where they happen.
BUT as soon as I stop playback, they disappear and no automated switches are left. Why are they not being recorded?

I was curious myself, so I looked it up in the Manual.pdf on page 646 it states:
Switching and Cutting Between Angles
When you work with multiclips in Final Cut Pro, switching and cutting have distinct meanings:
• Switching: This means changing the active angle of a multiclip without creating a cut. You can switch the active angle of a multiclip in the Viewer or the Timeline.
• Cutting: Like switching, cutting changes the active angle of a multiclip, but an edit is added to the multiclip at the moment you change the active angle. You can see the results of cutting in the Timeline. When you cut from one angle to another, the result is two multiclips in the Timeline: one before the cut point and one after.
Now, maybe somebody can explain why one would want to set there and switch camera angles throughout the entire clip and not want them to be permanent, (I'm sure there is a logical reason for that, I've just never had a need for it I guess) but in anyway case, that's how it's suppose to work apparently.

Changing the view of a calendar overlay inside another webpart

Hi,
I have downloaded and implemented the TabsWebPart from MSDN. Seems to function great.
I have made a master calendar with an overlay including 2 calendars, each with different colors. If I insert the calendar itself as a webpart, my overlay view applies great and you can see the appointements, however if I insert this calendar into the TabsWebPart
(tab1), it shows up blank with nothing. As far as I am aware the process was to close the web parts you want to display in the TabsWebPart, and then edit the xml file with the name of your closed web parts.
Now it seems that once you close the web part, it must lose its view settings? The other problem is that once inside the TabsWebPart, there appears no way to edit the Calendar webpart. Clicking on it simply selects the TabsWebPart edit box.
Have I missed something?

Hi,
I understand that you want to show calendar overlay inside a tab web part. As far as I know, closed Web Parts do not appear in the UI directly. But they stay in the Web Parts collection of the page so that code can access them. When you close a Web Part,
it is not rendered on the page, which improves performance. Closing a Web Part moves the Web Part to the Closed Web Parts gallery, which preserves the configuration and customizations in the Web Part. You can return the closed Web Part (with all its configuration
and customizations intact) to the page from the Closed Web Parts gallery. So it won’ lost its views. If you want to edit the view, you need to edit it before closing it. After you close it, you can access the web part in SharePoint designer while editing the
page. So now, you can add another Calendar web part to show in the Tabs web part and edit the views instead.
Thanks,

Customizing Edit/New/View form

Hi,Where will be a good place to start learning how to customize the List forms (view/edit/new) in SPD2013 when there is no design view but only code and i'm not familiar with the html/css/xsl syntax?
I'm talking about adding caption rows, conditional formatting, hiding rows etc... (all things that were very easily accomplished in SPD2010).
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Arevach,
Per my knowledge, the original list form is created as ListFormWebPart both in SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, and there is no List Form Tools in both SharePoint Designer 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2013.
If we need to apply such as conditional formatting to the list forms, we need to delete the original list form web part and then insert a new list form web part which is created as DataFormWebPart, then the Data View Tools tab will occur in the ribbon menu.
And it is the case in both SharePoint Designer 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2013.
For list views, in SharePoint Designer 2010, the List View Tools is available when we click into the code inside <WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart> tag in order to edit the view for lists.
However, the List View Tools will not be available when we click into the code inside <WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart> tag in SharePoint Designer 2013.
To access the List View Tools tab in SharePoint Designer 2013, we need to delete all the code inside <WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart> tag and then insert a new Date View web part.
After that, the List View Tools tab will be available when we click into the code inside <WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart> tag in SharePoint Designer 2013.
As Conditional Formatting is not available in SharePoint Designer 2013, you can use code and JS links to achieve what you want.
Here is an example for your reference:

Multiclip edit won't play in 9 up viewer

So I have 9 cameras that shot a music video. I create the multiclip, drop it in the timeline and set the viewer to 9 up view. It plays for about 15 seconds, then drops frames and stops. I've tried the basic stuff, turning off unlimited RT (to safe RT), making sure no other projects or sequences are open. Video is on a 500G internal SATA with about 240G free (not my boot drive). Set layout to "Standard View" on one monitor to make sure no windows were overlapping. It's about a 9 minute segment. I have a G5 Quad with 4.5G of RAM. Am I just pushing the limits of the machine or do I need to keep looking?
I have noticed that if I switch to the 4 up view, it plays perfectly. If I create an 8 clip multiclip, it plays perfectly in the 9 up view. It doesn't matter which clip I drop out to create the 8 clip version. I even opened up a couple other sequences, ran photoshop and a few other programs in the background, and the 8 clip sequence ran fine. I did import audio with 8 of the clips, one does not have it. I only need one version of that if anyone thinks reimporting most of the clips without audio will help. Video is DV-NTSC, sequence settings match. I realize I can edit an 8 clip version them add camera 9 as layer 2 after everything else is done and just cut out most of that video, but I hate it when things don't work the way they would in my perfect world.
Thanks

Take a look at Cal Digit's eSATA arrays... not too expensive, and first class indeed... Your Quad has extra bays in it too I think right? That's the least expesive way to create the raid... just add another drive which is the same capacity as the one you're using now, then use disk utility to create the RAID 0 with it and your current drive. I'd even match the model number of the drive ... it's snap to do.

Where is Multiclip Display in the View pop-up menu?

The FCP user manual tells me to choose Render Filters in the View pop-up window and I cannot find this command (yes, I have already turned on the computer). I have my multiclip loaded in the Viewer with a filter applied to the active angle. However, when I edit the multiclip to the timeline, the filter remains at best on only one instance of the angle. My purpose is to have it applied to all the cuts of the angle on the timeline. Is it possible? I thought that if I follow the advice to render filters that I read in the manual the effect will remain on the clip.

I've spent weeks messing around with multiclips and effects, the manual doesn't seem to make any sense and when following it, it doesn't work.
As mentioned, the only way to get an effect on every clip in the sequence edit is to apply it to the master clip BEFORE you make the multiclip.
This maybe of no use to you as you've already made the cut, I found out the same thing after a similar 5 camera, 2 hour cut some years back.
If anyone has a beter way, I'm all ears!
When you say you can't use buttons, it sounds like everything is going right. The markers appear as you go and then when you hit stop, the sequence may take a while, but eventually it should update with all your shot decisions. Make sure you double click the multiclip in the timeline, click the canvas, use the sync menu (middle button above the canvas main screen-choose open) and then hit play and start cutting. I use that little ritual to make sure the multiclip is active, loaded and able to be cut.
Sounds like some corruption going on, have you done the obvious and trashed prefs etc etc?
I've found just a re-boot of the Mac often solves many multiclip issues.
In my experience, it's a good idea to really prepare your media before using multiclip. Even down to rendering a new quicktime movie including effects etc, BEFORE making the multiclip. Multiclip only seems to work reliably when you have 'online ready' material which you can then cut, re-jig and then render/master out as a final piece without any unnecessary messing with the clips.

Multiclip issue: camera views turn to single view in canvas after 1st edit

I have been having a problem I can not figure out. I have had it with FCP 5.0 and FCP 6.0. After making a multi clip and dragging it to my timeline. It works great, I edit it normally with no problems. Sometimes , but not always, when I go back to fine tune the edit, here is what happens.
When I play the multiclip, I only see the full screen image that is also playing in my canvas. When I stop the clip all three edit windows ( I am working with 3 cameras) show back up in my viewer. When I hit play again, the 3 edit windows disappear and the same full screen video is playing in both the view and the canvas.
Some times while playing the timeline, a section will play with all three edit windows available, and the next clip on the timeline the edit window returns to full screen, not allowing me to edit or see the three cameras simultaneously.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?

I just re-read your posts and you say that only one angle appears in the CANVAS? That is how it's supposed to work. You can also set it to play back in mult-angle view to your video monitor (I think it also plays in the Canvas, I can't remember off-hand), but that doesn't work well for mult-angle editing. You want to see all the angles (as many as possible at least) in the Viewer (monitor wall), and to see the active "on-air" angle in the Canvas (Air/Program output). That's how we do it in live, and live-to-tape productions.
In multiclip mode, these are examples of what happens:
1. During playback, hitting keypad numbers 1, 2, 3,... will cut to those angles, but will not record the cuts (may need to change keyboard layout in the FCP menu)
2. During playback, hitting Cmd + keypad numbers 1, 2, 3,... will cut those angles, and the cuts will be recorded in the sequence, effectively allowing you to "switch it live" (may need to change keyboard layout in the FCP menu)
3. During playback, all angles will play together (like a monitor wall) in the Viewer, with the active angle being highlighted
4. While playback is stopped, and the Canvas/sequence is selected, where ever the playhead is in the sequence, hitting keypad numbers 1, 2, 3,... will change that clip's angle
I see you have a MBP, so if that's what you're editing on, then the keypad thing won't necessarily work. I don't recall if the top number keys also do it, but you can program them to if they don't in the Keyboard Layout menu.
The FCP manual is actually pretty helpful with all this. I'd also suggest to not collapse any of your multiclips until you're finished editing.

Can Apple let us to share our Notes with others so that they can also use their own Notes app to edit and view the shared notes?

This function would be tremendously useful for students sharing class notes or for family members or friends sharing daily-life notes.
Similarly, it would be wonderful if we can share Reminders, so that if I have a grocery list on my reminder and I can share it with my husband so that he can follow it on his way home.
Same suggestion for Photos (sharing an album with a friend).
Same suggestion for sharing documents so that a friend can view and/or edit the same document.
Perhpahs sharing with friends through iCloud is one way to go, but may be Apple engineers can have better solutions.

Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Meanwhile, there are lots of programs that will let you do the things you want to do. Evernote lets you share notes. Remember The Milk lets you share reminders. DropBox and GoogleDocs let you share documents. Picasa lets you share photos. Those are just some examples.

How can I view/edit the CSS rules that apply to an Order Registration Layout ?

*Note: I am new to web design and I did not create the site that I am working on. I am also very VERY clumsy with CSS at the moment *
I have just begun using Dreamweaver to work on a Business Catalyst site. I am attempting to edit the CSS of the layout for the Order Registration Form. The CSS is applied from the site-wide template that is assigned to the Order Registration Layout. When viewing the layout in Dreamweaver, it does not display any CSS info for the page. However, when viewing the live page for the Order Registration, it is clear that CSS is adversely affecting the layout.
Is there a way to link the css rules from the site-wide template to the Order Registration Layout? Or should I just add a new CSS rule directly to the Order Registration Layout (possibly overriding the site-wide template's CSS)?
Thanks!
Nate

I've used Firebug as well as the Webkit developer tools in Chrome and Safari which have surpassed Firebug in my opinion. But they all suffer from the fact that the changes you make in them have to later be applied to your code which means you have to take the extra steps of trying to remember what all changes you made in Firebug and copying and pasting them back into your files. Whereas in Dreamweaver you can Inspect, make changes directly to the code in your file, and you're done. Not happy with the last few changes? Undo. Want to start completely over? File > Revert.
Dreamweaver has excellent tools for determining what css is being applied to an element and by what means. And it's a more streamlined and direct workflow where you work directly in your code. I still use Firebug and the others from time to time though. But only for very basic "spur of the moment" testing. And usually only when I don't have immediate access to the raw files.

Edit the Posts list view web part in a Blog site

Hi,
We found the great post vow to add a custom property (for example sub title) to blog posts view using jslink.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepointdevelopersupport/archive/2013/04/09/how-to-add-a-custom-field-to-blog-posts-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
It works in the Home page of the blog, but we want the property to be displayed in any post view.
In order to display a column it has to be checked to be displayed at the view settings in the web part, but in the page posts.aspx there is no option to "Edit the current View".
Any ideas?
thanks a lot

Trouble with viewing font on spine of Photo book. I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the book itself when printed.

I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the photo book itself. When I preview the book it appears on the dustcover and the book, but not when I'm back in the creation or editing windows. I've printed 4 books in a series and two spines are one font size, and two others are a different font size. One of the books has a shortened title on the book spine.

The text on the spine will be the same text that is in the Title text box on the title page. You can change the font and style of that text just like you change any text in Aperture. Aperture will size and center the spine text for you
If you want the content or the font and style of the text to be different from your Title box text then you have to trick the program a bit. Put the text that you want in the spine into the Title text box and then move that box to a place on the page where it will not be visible when printed ( Y coordinate -1.0 inches for example). Don't move it too far away or it will be hard to get back to in order to make an edit. Then make a new text box on the title page and put the text you want on the cover in that. (Or make a book without text on the cover , but with text on the spine).
You are 100% correct in that you can not preview this unless you preview the printed book

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

Hi
There are several layers to this Q
A. There are no HD in DVD - DVD is as standard only SD-Video what ever tools used to produce it !
iDVD or DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ - will only make SD-Video on DVD
B. DVD can be better or worse
• Using "Share to iDVD" is no good way - Better is Share to Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD as result will be worse)
• Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools to chose if highes quality is of importance - iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut any version is far better as they send over all lines to iDVD and not only every second one.
• Using Right encoder quality depending on movie and Manu duration is very important
• Use of high quality brand of DVD - is important - I use Verbatim DVD-R
• Type of DVD - DVD-R plays on more DVD-Players (even old ones)
• Burn speed - I set it down to x4 - resulting in less burn errors - plays on more players
• I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Mac OS hard disk as iDVD and Mac OS needs this and it can not be taked from other hard disks - has to be here.
• What You feed iDVD does matter
Video codecs
Audio file formats
Photo file formats
