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.

  • Evocam I chose quad view and want single view

    Evocam web page has lots of faqs. The pulldown help in Evocam app is not specific enough to answer my question. I found no "discussion forums" dealing with Evocam. I have basic questions about the setting up and choosing options within the app. For my present one, I have a view window for my camera that is "quad." I would like to exchange it for just a single [one cam].
    When one opens the app, my iMac camera is default. In the inspector, at the bottom, the info for choosing a webcam is blank. If I choose another camera via the tool bar "new item" it tells me a cam is already open and to use Four Quad. That is to explain how I got to my present dilema. There appears to be no way to turn the iMac cam off and go back to just the new cam I've chosen,
    Can anyone help.

    After posting above, suggested links appeared on right side of page. I found an iPhone page that was helpful and solved the Quad View problem. Sorry folks. I thought I had searched every possible way, but evidently not. Anyway, I'd still like to know if anyone knows of any Evocam discussion groups.

  • Palm Desktop - combining 2 user views into 1 single view

    I know the Palm Desktop was designed to allow multiple users to synchronize with one copy of Palm Desktop, each with discrete username areas.  On the Palm Desktop, is there any way to combine the individual views of 2 users calendars into 1 view in order to see 1 combined calendar with both sets of appointments?
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    You can do that with the use of a third-party application called SyncUs.  It allows multiple Palm OS devices with distince Hotsync IDs to share whichever databases you wish to share.  I've never tried it, but it seems to get good reviews.

  • Displaying views from different componets in a single view

    HI gurus,
    I want to assemble all the views in a single view by using layout
    1. i have 2 DC's, DC1 has 3 components and each component has 4 views
    2. DC2 has 5 Components each has some 6 views
    My requirement is to display all these views in one view of DC1, depends on the condition
    I displayed all DC1 views successfully by using plugs to interface views
    but i want disable this entire viewcontainer and display other view container to display DC2 views at same place
    I thought by doing this when user clicks on that view every time all the views will load, is it the bestprectice to work, if not please suggest me best solution
    Thanks in advance
    Anu

    Dear Anusha,
    Use the component interface > interface view to integrate other DC2 view in the DC1.
    then use the Viewset or Viewcontainer to embed the DC2 view using interface view.
    Search for the communication between dcs.
    Best Regards

  • Downloaded, unzipped, installed latest Camera Raw, but still cannot view D300 NEF files

    Hello,
    I have CS3 running on a 32-bit Windows Vista computer. I downloaded the latest Camera Raw plug-in, unzipped it, and installed it, but I still cannot view my Nikon D300 NEF files. I have made sure that I only have the one plug-in mentioned. I went to CS3 Bridge and made sure that Raw is enabled in Preferences. Anyone got any ideas?
    BTW, don't know if it matters, but I use Irfanview as my regular picture viewer.
    Thanks,

    John,
    Please excuse my inexperience, but I, too, am having a difficult time with this issue.  I am trying to view RAW images on CS3 from a D300 Nikon camera.  My D70 images are fine in CS3, but not the D300 images.  I have downloaded and downloaded ACR 4.6 and made sure it is in the path you suggested, but I am getting the same message, "file is not the correct type."  I have Windows 7 on a HP desktop computer.  I am also receiving an error message when I open Bridge, which tells me, more or less, that Bridge is not compatible with the OS on the HP.  Don't know what else to do...

  • How do I permanently turn off fullscreen view in safari?

    How do I permanently turn off fullscreen view in Safari?  I never want my menubar to autohide and it has been doing so since the last update.  Once I click on the little blue arrows at the top right of the screen, it is temporarily fixed but then resets to fullscreen when I re-open Safari.

    Thaty is quite odd behavior as I have never seen that happen
    in any Safari version since full screen was added to OSX.
    It almost sounds as if the preference file for Safari may be
    corrupted or some other setting file.  However, before messing
    with that, export your bookmarks (File->Export Bookmarks...)
    so you can retrieve them and under the Safari menu, select reset
    Safari.  If this doesn't resolve things, and since you saved your
    bookmarks, in Finder hold down Option key and on the Go menu
    select library.  In the Preferences folder, find:
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    and move it to Desktop or trash it.  Next time Safari opens it
    will recreate the file and see if this fixes the issue.

  • When I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots.  how do I turn off this view?

    when I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots.  how do I turn off this view? i've used photoshop for years and never encountered this.  i looked at the histogram for some means of turning it off, but no luck.  help

    The issue I think is connected to the colour profile, and the 8,16, or 32 bit image mode option.  In the past, my images have come from lightroom as 16 bit files and I've never had any issues.  I guess I'm not very adept at the file handling aspect of this program.  I shoot in RAW and like to play around with my photos, then print them.  I was under the impression I should be using the srgb colour selection not RGB, but then I've read I should change it to RBG once I'm ready to save the file to print.  I also changed my files over the 8 bit from 16 once I saved the after using photoshop.

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • 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.

  • MVC: Create a view which populates two (or more) joined tables in a single view table

    Hello,
    From your description, it is not very clear that what you mean about the View, if it means the View concept in database as SQL Server, your required view should be as below:
    Create view
    as
    Select Bloggers.bloggerName, Bloggers.blogTitle, Bloggers.blogImage
    From Bloggers join Blogs on Bloggers.bloggerID = Blogs. bloggerID
    If it means the UI view in MVC concept, I suggest you could ask it on the MVC forum:

  • How to group more than one view in a single window?

    Hi,
    I want to group three or more views in a single window.
    I need a element, which is similar to VIEW SET in webdynpro for JAVA.
    how to do it?

    Hi,
    In wd-abap the concept of viewset is not used instead the viewContainerUIelement is used to achieve the same.
    create a main view say v_main in that add ui control viewContainerUiElement
    create a another view say v1.
    go the the window .. embed this view v_main to the window , u can see then below the view the control viewContainerUielement , in that u can add the view v1 inside this container .  so if u create more containers inside the v_main ,then  u can display more view inside this and the plugs can be created and fired as same as in java.
    Hope this will help u .

  • Multiple TableExtension/Tableview in a single view...

    Hi,
           I'm facing a problem creating multiple TableExtension elements in a single view. The relationship between the business objects is like this.
    Header--->Order(s)--
    >Item(s)
    As you can see, each header can have multiple orders and each order can have multiple items.
    The number of orders is known only during runtime..
                  In the last page of my bsp application, created using component workbench, I should allow the user to view/edit item list of all orders found under a particular header. That is to say, the view should contain multiple EditList tables for editing items.
               But, I have only one context node for Item and I'm able to show only one table at a time. One solution that works, but not usable in my case is to use navigation buttons to change the Order focus entity. When the focus changes, the Item table shows relevant child entities of that particular order. But, only single table in that view and so, useless.
             Classic BSP application is a big NO. The table should allow customizing viewable columns and have toolbar buttons. The Chtmlb:tableExtension is very suitable and convenient while working with BOL objects, but how to generate multiple tables that are independent of each other?
    Please provide some pointers...
    Thanks,
    Arun Prakash
    Edited by: Arun Prakash Karuppanan on Jun 21, 2008 11:49 PM

    Hi,
          Got it. I used field symbol for specifying the table and looped the tableview tag the number of times I wanted. Each time, the tableview and configtable IDs are also generated uniquely, as I would need them later.  Each time, the field symbol is assigned by a method implemented in the controller. This controller method, creates a internal table dynamically and populates it with relevant data fetched from my BOL collection. Ofcourse, I need to implement a separate iterator class for the ConfigTable and use appropriate events to make changes to my BOL collection. It's a little bit complicated, but not impossible.

  • 2 ALVs in a single view

    How to use 2 ALVs in a Single view.
    I need to take refernce of them individually, so that i can confgure them, independant of each other
    Thanks,
    Selvakumar M.

    Hi,
    i have developed the same way only.
    I was able to get the reference of the first ALV with following code
    *Create component usage for alv component
      DATA: l_ref_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
      l_ref_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
      IF l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
        l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
      ENDIF.
    *Get config model
      DATA: l_ref_interfacecontroller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table .
      l_ref_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
      DATA: l_value TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
      l_value = l_ref_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).

      l_value->if_salv_wd_std_functions~SET_DIALOG_SETTINGS_ALLOWED( abap_false ).
    I was not able to do the same for the second ALV..
    The component name i have used for the ALVs is
    1. ALV(i am able to config this)..
