Re-framing an angle in a multicam

Question

OK... so I'm trying to show someone a "best practice" for re-framing a camera angle in a multiclip.  If the issue is to re-frame the angle for the *entire* sequence, then I just open the multiclip in the timeline, choose the angle and zoom and re-frame. 
But here's the issue... Suppose you want to zoom back out to 100% at some point.  Is it best to animate that in the multiclip?  This would work but it would be tedious and not terribly accurate if you were doing it alot. I haven't been able to keyframe zooms in the mulitclip sequence and, as I understand it, there's no way (or reason) to "collapse multiclip" the way you do in FCP 7.
This is about to come up a lot in a theater production I filmed.  We shot it very high because we knew we'd be outputing at standard definition.  One of the camera operators was especially concerned about going in too tight and *all* of his footage is going to have to be reframed. 
Any ideas would be very helpful!

Hi,
Yes you can : it is an architectural problem.
You must divide the work into 2 methods : one on the generic level and one
on the concrete level.
The generic level will manage the cinematic : it could be ExecSql. In the
ExecSql method you can call a DoExecSql method which can be overridden by
the developers and contain the sql statement. Then, the ExecSql method can
manage the reconnect using DBSession.Reconnect before the call of the
DoExecSql if the DBSession.IsConnected = FALSE. You can also manage a While
with a limited number of retries if you catch the exception from the
DoExecSql method.
Just be aware that when you will reconnect to the database, you will loose
the statements you could have cached with your DBSession.
Hope this helps,

Hi!
I have the following problem:
1. I have a class, name SQLManager
2. I have a method, ExecSQL
3. In method ExecSQL I do some SQL, occasionally it's loosing the
connection to the DB, gets an
exception, reasoncode 201 (If my memory is correct)
4. I have some subclasses of SQLManager, which override ExecSQL, and do
some SQL stuff in it.
Question: Is it possible to handle the specific exception in the
superclass, and do the reconnect?
And probably let the subclass execute the ExecSQL again?
Or has anybody better ideas of organizing these things?
TIA, best regards,
Akos Gabriel
