Problems colour correcting multicam in angle editor

Hope someone can help:
I'm trying to colour correct one of the multicam clips in the angle editor.
When I click colour match and hover over the other clip part of this multi cam clip nothing happens and the 'apply match' button remains greyed out.
I can colour match the individual cuts back in normal time line but of course I don't want to waste time doing it to every single clip/cut.
Why won't it let me colour correct in angle editor?
The mouse turns into a mini camera like icon when I hover over the clip i want to match to.
Any ideas?

I have spent the better part of today searching for solutions to this very same issue.
Tom - I realize how awesome you are to this community - and have learned a great deal from you - but this link you posted has the same question posed but NOT answered -- there seems to be no solution.
I have recreated this same issue.
I can color match two clips in a timeline -- but cannot get the same exact work flow to work in the multi-cam clip.
Basically it all works as expected right up until I click the clip I want to match -- when I do that - nothing happens and the apply match blue button stays greyed out.
This is posted all over the forums at Creative Cow and here with no real solution.
Surely something has happened to cause this on my part but I cannot figure out what.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Effects in Multicam Angle Editor not Rendering

    When I add color correction (magic bullet looks) to a master clip in a multicam edit (so in the Angle Editor), the effect does not render either in the background or manually. The effect does appear, it just does not render.
    So, once I add the effect this way I can no longer edit or even get smooth playback in real-time with the multi-cam editor (it needs to render first). I expect that with Magic Bullet Looks, so I know I have to render once apply it. But it won't render unless I export it as a movie.
    I can add the color clip by clip instead in the regular timeline, but that can be very time consuming.
    Even if I wait to do color correction until the very end of my workflow, I still need to be able to render effects on muticam masters if possible.
    Are there some options I could try to get around this?

    It is kind of a difficult senario to explain, but I am trying with Red Giant to see if they have any thoughts on it.
    But I am thinking that in the multicam angle editor, you can only apply effects that your system can handle in real-time and not effects that would require rendering (at least until final output of a project).

  • Slide Clips in Multicam Angle Editor?

    Trying to help a friend learn multicam in FCP X, and he's run into an issue with the clip sync that's making him need to manually sync up one clip.
    Problem: clips can't move. They're snapping back to where they were before. Anybody know of a way to freely slide a clip in its angle in the editor?

    Normally when you open the multicam clip in the angle editor, the pointer defaults to Position tool, which lets you move the angles freely in the lanes. If this isn't happening for you press P for the Position tool.
    P.S. you can also nudge with comma/period or Shift-comma/period.

  • Crop command in multicam angle editor

    When I activate the crop command in the multicam angle editor the viewer screen goes black. The command functions but I cannot see a picture to evaluate what the crop will look like. When I am finished with the crop command the picture returns and I can see the resulting crop. It works fine on regular clips and even on the multicam clip in a project on the timeline. The only problem is in the angle editor. Weird.
    OS X 10.9.4 & FCPX 10.1.3
    Thanks

    I did a quick test and I have the exact same problem. In the Angle Editor, Trim works ok, but both Crop and Ken Burns turn the viewer black. They still work, but you're "blind" making the adjustments.

  • Multicam only showing one angle in project, fine in angle editor

    As per the title really - the clip seems okay in the angle editor, but when I drag it into the project timeline, all angles apart from the primary are black.
    I've tried copying the project, deleting the clip and re-adding it and nothing seems to work.
    Any hints? I'm using the latest version of the Trial (10.0.0.8)

    Hmm. I restarted FCPX to take the pictures and it seems to be working fine now! I'm not honestly sure why. One possibility is copying the multicam clip worked, and I inserted the wrong one into my timeline. But in any case it seems like the original problem is resolved. Thank you for your help!

  • Problem with colour correction

    Hi, I am not able to use the colour correction filter (3-way) on the project I am working on, or any new projects I create. I am however able to use it when I on a previous project. Has anyone got any ideas on why this may be? I am using FCP 5.1.4
    Thanks
    Patrick

    I was having the same problem but i fixed it for me.
    go to sequence, settings, render control and check filters and frame blending for speed under render and play back.
    hope that works

  • Multicam works in the angle editor but not in timeline

    I have 2 cameras in the new multicam system and they work in the angle viewer in the angle editor but once I go back to my work  timeline one of the cameras goes black and there is no video or audio .  Please help.

    i just figured it out.....

  • Multicam Angle Editor Clips Can't Be Moved

    I have a multicam clip and when I open it in the Angle Editor, I can't move any of the clips. They just snap back to where they were. For whatever reason, FCP X really fudged up the "auto" syncing of these clips and I have to move them around and sync manually.
    What's the secret?
    I can press , and . to nudge left and right but grabbing them and dragging them down the timeline isn't working.
    Thanks!

    That's it.
    Thank you so much for your time, Tom! Hope you are having a great day.

  • Multicam Angle Editor not vertically layering clips

    I created a new multicam clip which consisted of 4 video clips and a master audio clip.  I used the defaults when creating the clip (including the "use audio when synchronizing" checkbox).  When I view this in the multicam angle editor however, it shows all the video clips lined up horizontally in one row, rather than displaying seperate vertical clips.  The viewer reflects only 2 clips as well.  What have I done wrong?  I've been troubleshooting this for 2 hours to no avail.  Thanks for any help.
    I'm using an iMac 27", OSX 10.8.2, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3, with 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.  FCP 10.0.6 Free Trial.

    Have you set Camera Name/Angel on the clips???
    If not, FCPX will treat it as One camera angel, and you get this result!
    Make sure to set Angel in the inspector, and MultiCam sync on Angel

  • This is a silly question but how do you close the angle editor in the timeline and go back to my master multicam clip for editing? I'm having a brain **** right now...

  • Color Correcting Multicam Clip

    I have a two camera project.  I am color correcting the project.  I can see where doing the color work in the timeline would be very ineffective.  The Angle Editor would be a much more efficient way to go.  My problem is that once I open the Angle Editor I have each camera on line, one above the other, as I would expect.  I can color correct the upper one no problem.  When I select the lower camera clips they show in the viewer only while the cursor is over one.  As soon as I move the cursor to the color board the viewer switches to the upper camera clip.
    What am I doing wrong here ?
    I know I am going to fill really stupid once I find out the answer . 

    At the head of each lane in the angle editor is an icon that lets you select which clip appears in the viewer.

  • Multicam - One angle blank

    Slowly putting FCP7 to bed...next up (perhaps last) is MultiCam. I'm having an issue where I have a simple 2 camera set up that I've synced with Markers ( The footage is HDV720p60 @ 18Mb/s per track). After I make my multiclp and append it to the timeline, one of the cameras is blank (as in no vid/aud that is there when viewing the clip media alone).
    and the angle editor:
    Thoughts?

    "Add a new lane in the multicam editor...."  I'm assuming you mean drop footage into the multicam clip timeline (where i WOULD <should..haha> see multiple cams...correct? Or am i missing something?
    HOWEVER, here's an update:
    I zoomed into that timeline. See that TINY blip on Closeup cam line? I didn't at first either. Zooming in more I see:
    It appears that FCP for some reason was treating that cam like a single frame of footage (notice the "L" and "Reversed L" in the viewer? I couldn't ripple trim to reveal either. Seeing that i deleted it from my multicam timeline, pulled clip down into multicam editor and hand lined up the sync marker. Then it appeared OK.
    Hmmm...I edited the project in FCP 7 so pressure is off, I'll keep trying to see if this gets recreated.
    More to come, i think. THoughts on why that happened?

  • Final Cut 10.1 - Crashes when Colour Correcting.

    Every time i try to do colour correction in FCP 10.1 i receive this error message and have no choice but to quit FCP — "The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
    I am able to adjust Saturation and Exposure without a problem.
    The error only arises when i am editing the Color.
    I have already tried reseting my FCP preference and repairing disk permissions, neither of which have solved this for me.

    Hi I just wanted to share a solution I found for this problem.
    I had converted around 3 simple projects from FCPx 10.0.9 to 10.1.1, then I started noticing the color correction crash.
    To fix it I removed the converted projects and libraries and made new ones. I had to remove all my projects (Timelines) from 10.0.9 but I had already finished those projects and just kept them for backups, so I figured it was worth a try to remove them and see if the crash would stop.
    I have been getting no crashes now that all I have in FCPx are 10.1.1 projects and libraries and events.
    Try it out and see if it works for you.

  • Angle Editor Not Showing Up in FCPX

    Hi,
    I'm running FCPX 10.0.7 and am having difficulties with my multicam clip.
    It's in the timeline and for some reason I simply cannot get it to open in the angle editor. I ctrl-click the multicam sequence and select "Open in Angle Editor". For some reason, it simply won't open up. I just click it and nothing happens. The multicam sequence is inside a compound clip i created. I tried copying to a new project and got nothing. Also tried breaking apart the compound clip and still nothing.
    If somebody knows a way to fix this, that'd be amazing. Thanks

    Try opening the multicam clip in the event browser. Should update to 10.0.8.

  • Beachballing when blading in the angle editor

    In one of my libraries, whenever I blade a clip in any of the multicam clips opened in the angle editor, I get a beach ball and see messages that one or more projects are being loaded into the timeline. (I am able to make adjustments to the settings for HyColour Pro in the angle editor without setting off the beach ball.) Eventually I have to force quit. I've trashed my preferences and as well as the flexolibraries to no avail. Suggestions, please!

    Hi John,
    sorry to say - but I'm of no help here:
    I never have seen such a Multicam-timeline as yours!
    You have 3 cams/angles, close. side and far, easy  - but the 'extracted' (why that??) audio-tracks do not correspond with the video tracks (by length, split, whatever) ...
    For me it looks like, like someone  tries to re-enact 'track based editing' by abusing the MC-angle editor ... what it isn't meant for, nor is it necessary ...
    The  usages I know-of, are very, very easier:
    you synch angles. And get 'one' clip.
    switch back into your project
    you edit the clip there. in terms of: cut it into pieces an re-arranges them. e.g. cut a long performance into parts, or shorten a 70min soccer-game into a 8min report (what I do weekly).
    while doing so, MC supports you by keeping an audio-track and edit just the video. (e.g. music-video)
    … or keeping a video and just edit the audio. (e.g. … no real-life example at hand , perhaps: one person is shown but many others ask questions from the off)
    … or edit a + v but keep all tracks in synch (e.g. an interview with 2 persons in on)
    But I have no idea, why you edit in the angle-viewer? Any why you extract the audio of the clips?? And why you want to get everything out of synch by editing audio and video differently?? (that is the nature, the purpose of MC: to keep things IN synch!) ...
