One Monitor / Window Per Video Track? Possible?

I really need to sync multiple video tracks / clips and Multicamera will not work.
It would be nice it Video Track One / Two / Etc. had their own window.
I could place them where I want .. and adjust the many clips to where I want them .. without switch back and forth to the program / source monitors.
Has anyone else figured this out?

There is a Source, Program, and Reference Monitor .. a trim monitor .. and a multi camera monitor .. but all I want is a monitor per track .. and a overall monitor.
It would be nice to duplicate them too .. to have a set of small thumbnails .. and then larger ones on a second monitor.

My project has a bunch of ProRes files referenced... even when I move them, and After Effects marks them as offline, I just get this: Last log message was: <140735209366288> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context.
I have done some searching, and even if I go to Google, and put the search in quotes, I get nothing. It doesn't sound like anyone else has had just this problem.
Help?

Sounds like the ProRes files are encoded oddly in a format that AE's own handler can't understand and while falling back to QT it crashes. I believe there are some known issues with this for ProRes 444, but then again I'm not a Mac guy...

Monitors for each video track?

Is there a way to have seperate Monitor windows for each video track, so as I scrub through a Sequence I can have a preview of what is on each track all at the same time (without using the Multi Camera editor)

What I do is find a sync point in the first clip and add a numbered clip marker to that point (for example, a camera flash or a music hit), and then edit it into the sequence. I do the same for the next clip(s), using the same numbered marker, and add those into the sequence. When I've added all the clips, select them all, and go to Clip > Synchronize > Numbered Marker, selecting the numbered marker that is common to all of the files. Once you hit OK, all of the clips will be synced around that point.
Definitely easier than looking at a four-up display and trying to figure out which one is which, IMO.

No mouse cursor on one monitor - Windows 7 Boot Camp

Hello,
I installed Windows 7, and ran the boot camp installer; however, since then, my mouse cursor does not appear on one of my two monitors. I can still click on things (if I can figure out where my invisible mouse is), but the arrow itself is just gone. This is only the case within Windows; mouse works fine on the Mac end.
Hardware in question:
Computer - Mac Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card
Monitor with issue - Hannspree widescreen monitor connected via HDMI cable + HDMI to mini DV adaptor
Other monitor - hp fullscreen monitor, connected via VGA
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my NVIDIA drivers on windows, because the mouse shenanigans seemed to start after this step in the Bootcamp installation process.
Any ideas for how to fix this?
Thanks very much.

Then google for Cirrus Logic Audio for Mac running Windows.

Prem El 7: Previewing individual video tracks

Hi All,
I am new to Prem Elements 7 and have been spending a lot of time on my first project.
Some simple things are holding me up and I can't resolve with the Help centre.
I have 3 video tracks stacked in the timeline.
A key problem is how to select and preview in the monitor panel each video track.
As default, the monitor will only preview the top video track in the stack. So for me, it will preview track 3.
But I want to be able to switch between video tracks and view the content of each track in the preview monitor to help with editing decisions.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks.

Mike
You can do as SG suggests in that you double click the video clip on Video Track 1, 2, or 3 to bring up its Preview Window.
But, consider the following when and if applicable:
a. staggering the clips of Video Track 1, 2, 3 (train arrangement) and then clicking above the Timeline to move/direct the Timeline Indicator to the video clip location to view that clip in the Edit Mode Monitor.
b. if you wanted a before/after, doing a split screen effect where you drag the Crop video effect (Effects/Video Effects/Transform/Crop) into the clips and use the Edit Efffect to crop the clips to display side by side in the Edit Mode Monitor....if find, more space to do that with 16:9 project.
As has been stated, if there are no transparencies in the clip in Video Track 3 and you are not adjusting Opacity, all that you are going to see is what is on Video Track 3 in the Edit Mode Monitor.

99 Video Track Limit - Have 240 mini movies to cram on disk...

Is there a way to place more than one movie on a video track but to have a separate link to each movie in my scene selection menus?
I am creating a teaching DVD for a client with 240 small movies, and each one must be linked individually according to its topic from one of the 26 menus (arranged alphabetically).
According to the DVD Studio Pro/Apple Certified guide book, the first chapter has a list of the DVD-Video Specifications (which states that a DVD-Video disc can contain up to 99 tracks of content, each of which can have 9 streams of video and 8 streams of audio. I am just wondering how (or if) these 9 streams of video can be viewed individually when linked to the disk menus...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrea - don't make the assumption that a DVD track is like a CD track. On a DVD a track refers to the container for your footage, and you can add many different pieces of footage to a single track, using markers or stories to divide it up into the individual pieces.
You are limited to 99 tracks, stories and slideshows in a DVDSP project. This means one track and 98 stories, or any combination of the three to a total of 99. You will therefore struggle to get 240 individual clips to play back individually without using chapter markers with end jumps and multiple tracks (at least three as there is a limit of 99 markers per track).
This is OK if you don't want to do a 'play all' for every single clip. If you do, then you'll probably need to get into writing a few scripts, or find some other way around linking the tracks together.

Deleting unused video tracks

I inherited a FCP project from another editor. This one sequence has six video tracks, but there are a couple video tracks that only have one or two clips in them. Is there any benefit to moving those clips down to more populated tracks and deleting the empty tracks?
I'm not clear on the rendering pipeline of FCP and if there'd be any playback or rendering performance boost.

If there are performance issues, they're negligible. The real thing here is sloppiness. Sometimes in the heat of battle one creates extra tracks to park stuff on, sometimes they get left there for no good reason. I always park my timeline on the other monitor, with the browser so that I can expand it vertically and see all the tracks because a lot of my work has a lot of video and audio tracks. Every now and again I'll collapse as much as I can.

Video Track for Broadcast Safe

I I have a project that has a duration of 28 minutes - is there a way to insert in one of my empty video tracks above the existing clips - a continuous (28 minute) empty track in which I could dump a Broadcast Safe filter and control that function globally vs. each individual clip?
Thanks

Set in/out at head/tails of the timeline, select all and go to...Main Menu/Sequence/Nest Items.
The nested sequence will be a single bluish/purplish video track with aqua audio.
With that nested sequence open in the timeline, option-click on the video track and apply your filter...or drag it to the video track from the effects tab of the browser.
If you just dbl-click it in the timeline, you'll open the original sequence will all layers showing.
Hope that helps...gotta run.

Can I open a second Source Monitor for the audio track of a video?

I really dislike having to switch to the audio waveform in the Source Monitor pane when I want to tinker with a clip's audio track. I usually try to stay away from needing to use a panes drop down menu as much as possible. Is there a way to get this in a different window?
Using CS6

You cant tinker with the audio track in the Source Monitor. Apart from IN and Out Point setting.
Normally one would expand the audio track in the time line...zoom in/out to suit and maybe use the tilde shortcut key to view it all full screen.

Ho do I use one monitor for OSX and Windows 8.1 bootcamp

I am a long time Mac user, but find the fairly recent Apple switch to thunderbolt for monitor input very frustrating.
For several years I have ran a Mid 2010 IMac 27" and input video from a Mac Mini running Boot Camp Windows 7 using Target Display Mode on the IMac.
This worked fine until I upgraded to a Late 2013 27" IMac and discovered that the IMac has moved to thunderbolt as the input for Target Display Mode. The new late 2013 27" IMac just will not display native Windows 7 or 8 from a Boot Camp Mac anymore.
My problem is that I have two business/job related Windows apps that must run on a native windows 7 or 8 platform, and won't function under either Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
I have tried.
And there appears to be no way to get any Windows machine with DVI or Mini Display Port output to drive a late 2013 IMac in Target Display mode.
So, with great frustration, I have concluded that I need to purchase a non-Apple 27-30" monitor, and drive it with either a Mac Mini, or my Early 2013 15" MacBook Pro retina, running one of the Macs into on of the mini-Display Ports on the monitor and a native Windows 7 or 8 machine into a second mini-display port, switching between the two video inputs. The Dell 30" monitor seems to get the nod.
Has anyone found a better solution to switching between OSX and native Windows on one monitor?
Thanks...

Hi William,
I had the same experience in December 2013 and contacted Apple about it. According to Apple it's an issue of Windows with Thunderbolt. Your older iMac from 2010 is using DisplayPort and not Thunderbolt for the Target Display Mode. Note that just the connector looks the same but it's still a different technology. Please further note that the response below does not apply for the new iMac 27" with the 5K display because this iMac does not support Target Display Mode at all, hence can't be used as external display. Of course you can still attach one or two external displays to the iMac 27" 5K.
Hope this clears things up for you and the others.
Thanks,
Martin
So, here is the important part of the official response from Apple:
"... The Thunderbolt controller in an iMac is running exclusively in host mode. As such it cannot emulate a device mode Thunderbolt display. Instead it implements a custom Target Display Mode protocol that shares video between two peer to peer machines running with both controllers running in host mode. The "client" side of the driver does not exist on Windows so windows cannot speak to the "server" half in the iMac. There are no plans to implement a client driver for Windows since there is no Thunderbolt SW stack available for Windows. The reason this used to work is that the older iMacs used DisplayPort for Target Display Mode. In this scenario the iMac was able to expose the panel in such a way that it looked exactly like a Display Port Device which Windows does have driver support for. ... "

Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore. Whats Wrong

Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.
Good luck,
Hunt

Multiple tracks in one matrix window

can anyone tell me how to get midi data from multiple tracks to show up in a single matrix window for editing?

wow. cool trick.
but it would be more helpful to me if i could select a few tracks... for example.. kick,snare,hihat, and bass. then open those 4 tracks in one matrix window. then the editing of those tracks would be very intuitive because of their relation to each other. is this possible?
ps.- why are so many things in logic "cool tricks?" I wonder if i can buy a secret book of Logics "cool tricks" at masonic temple or maybe from a wandering member of the knights templar.

Poor video playback in Encore 2.0 preview and monitor window . . .

I'm having a strange issue with my video playback in the preview and monitor windows. At some points it displays as blocks (like digital noise). I unchecked the "Automatic" option in the A/V Output dialog as described in the manual. Still, nothing changed.
To make sure it was Encore that had the problem, and not the file, I played my MPG2 files through PowerDVD, and nothing wrong with the playback in there. What is Encore 2.0 doing? How can I fix this problem???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What Mouse drivers are you using please?
This might sound silly, but under 1.5 (Different preview engine, true, so this may be completely wrong) I found that with a later revision of the MS Intellipoint drivers, I had exactly the same issue.
We worked this out by realizing the green blocks appeared as soon as the mouse was moved. As with your cases, the discs still burned true proving it is a preview related issue.
Uninstalling & reverting back to version 4.1 made it all go away.
But since the preview engine is now the PPro one, this might not work any more.

Subtitle track turns monitor window into color noise?!

As soon as I added a subtitle track to my encore 1.5 project, the monitor window turns into colored noise.
http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/4373720_VBrbJ/
The video noise seems to be an upside down image (of a performer on stage).
If I play the video, it turns normal, but the audio track sometimes play normal, sometimes it becomes a constant sine wave.
What's going on?

A work around is to remove the transcode. However, as I add more subtitle into the track, I run into a "out of memory" pop up. Subsequently, the cursor (red line) redraw leaves behind some un-erased lines, and the bottom border of the subtitle track sometimes is not drawn. Drag-resizing the subtitle also does not redraw until the mouse is released.
Did I really run out of memory? I have 2G on this machine. Or is this an encore config issue? I looked but did not find any memory configuration options.
