Trouble with my Multicam clip

I'm trying to synchornize my two camera shots using the multicam button.  All is well in making the clip; however, i notice then when the created multi cam clip is in the timeline it is displaying in a linear fasion with the second camera clips ahead of the first camera footage. In other words, nothing seems to be sychronized. Cameras footage is placed one after the other (not stacked)  If I double click on the clip nothing happens in showing the two clips (stacked) and they still remain all in one line. Very confusing.
Could use some help!

I've got everything synched  but my latest problem is trying to make a DVD from my multicam clip. I'm noticing that the secondary footage is not joined to the primary clip. When I join the two clips on one line only one camera is presented and the other camera edited footage does not read or register. 
I edited the multicam clip in the time line after double clicking from the clip board. I'm also noticing I cant work with titles very well with the two multicam clips in this mode and that when I try to make a copy and put it the two clips into a new project I get a notice that says the video properties of this clip are not recognized and when I click OK  the clips reverse themselves in the New Project time line when presenting themselves. I'm stuck in multicam clip mode and don't know how to get to the next step in which I can move on from the synchronization.
Sometimes I think it would be quicker to manually edit these clips.

    How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

    Im doing a drumming music video and with the multi cam clip all the angles are nicely sync'd top the audio.
    Problem is if i want to have 3 angles on top of the main shot, im gonna have to re-sync them all to get them to line up manually. If i could use the multi cam clip they will already be aligned
    Thanks for trying to help appreciate, hoping someone has some multiclip knowledge and will be able to tell me if yay or nay.

  • Having lots of trouble creating a multicam clip with independently recorded audio in sync

    I can't figure out why this isn't working and have tried it many different ways and many times. Here's the situation:
    Video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 7D (I suspect this may be part of the problem because the 5D has timecode capabilities and the 7D doesn't)
    Primary audio was recorded on a Zoom H4N but each camera recorded audio also and the levels are all fine
    I've tried the following to create the mutlicam clip of the interview with all audio and video in sync:
    Naming the Camera Angle for each clip (Profile and Straight On)
    Selecting all of the relevant video clips
    Seleting all of the relevant audio and video clips
    Synchronizing the video clips with the high quality audio clips (half of which I had to do by hand) and then selecting the sychronized clips to create the multicam clip
    None of this works. In the end a multicam clip is created that is completely out of sync. I'm at a loss and would love any help!
    Thank you.
    Nick

    I saw in a video tutorial (after trying to find solutions to this problem) that one should assign the independent audio to the same camera angle as one of the cameras. After assigning it to its own angle, it did much better but it loses sync about half way through now. Screenshot attached.

  • Trouble with split into clips when importing from camera

    I'm importing old video from mini DV tapes into iMovie. Unlike many other people writing here, I'm not having trouble with the connection between the camera and the computer. That works fine. I click "import" and the video IS imported.
    The problem is, iMovie splits up the video it loads into little clips, some are long and some are less than a second long. Then, when it displays them in the clips window, they are out of order. For instance, the first few bars of a song might be pulled off and be in a short clip near the bottom of the list while the rest of the song is in a longer clip near the top. As a result, I am forced to carefully put them back in order -- like making a jigsaw puzzle -- as I drag them into the project.
    Can I either turn off whatever it is that splits the input into clips (I'd like just one big clip) OR at least could the clips be displayed in the order that they were loaded from the camera so that clips that belong together are next to each other?
    Thanks (and sorry for asking what is PROBABLY a dumb question),

    The best answer I've found so far to my own question is the post from Randman here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9007098
    As he points out, the problem is that iMovie is splitting and ordering the clips by their "time stamp", but if the video was previously edited (even by iMovie itself!) this time stamp may reflect the time it was edited rather than the time it was filmed. This is especially a problem for clips that have a title or special effect used on PART of it, because the modified part does not show up anywhere near the unmodified part in the list of clips.
    Randman ALSO provides a sort of solution: rename the files themselves. I found this did work. (You rename them so that time stamps in the filename are in increasing order when listed in order by "last modified" which reflects the time they were loaded from the camera!)
    I've written myself a script to do this automatically, but it is a bit of a hack and not really suitable for distribution. But, I suggest that someone with more time and programming experience than I write such a script that would help people with this problem!

  • Premiere pro cc having trouble with color corrected clips

    I've been working on a project for a few days and today when I opened premiere pro it gave me a warning about what software it had been running with and how it was no longer available. I'm sorry I've already forgotten the name of the software, but I know I didn't remove anything from my laptop. When I began watching the playback I noticed that color corrected clips were very jumpy and didn't play smoothly, but the ones that had not been color corrected were fine.  There were also two lines at the top of my timeline, a red one over all the jumpy clips and a yellow one over the clips that played through completely. This is my first time using premiere pro so I'm not sure what it means or how I could fix it.  It may be worth noting that my laptop isn't bad but I don't think it's necessarily the best for editing.  Is it possible that memory space or hardware within the laptop are the issue? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

    Just me today I guess.
    The solution to this problem is simple.  Download and install the latest Adobe PPro CS3 3.2.0 patch.  50 Mb download, 20 second install time.  Everything works great now!

  • Export trouble with FCPX - missing clips

    Puzzled by problems exporting from FCPX.   Video of a couple of clips disappear, and only shows black.   Audio is OK, tho. 
    It's 4:30 in length.  Most clips are on main storyline, except for a few cut-aways.   Not doing anything special, except for a couple of dissolves.   Format is ProRes 422 HQ.   Tried export same as project and export to h.264.  Re-started app and machine.   Looks to effect the same two clips every time.  I don't have Compressor 4, yet.
    There's not many options that I know to change.  
    I realized this is a big problem since there's no way out of FCPX, in terms of video or EDL.
    Ideas? 

    I've had this issue weekly with a show I produce.  It bugs me for hours.  In my case, I have to wait until the entire timeline is rendered, and then I have to export it to ProRes 422.  Any other codec requires a re-render, which provokes the problem again.  The problem starts when I take a few clips from my P2 and use the stability function along with any color correction topping them off with titles.  It seems as though part of the rendering process involves re-analyzing the entire clip during rendering, and if I don't allow it to completely render the clips, I get missing video with graphics on top.  I have a 12-core machine with 16GB RAM, and yet it still takes about two hours to render my 30 minute show after I'm done.  This doesn't include the hours it takes to analyze the P2 clips as I import them, which also hinders me during editing and causes continual crashes.  I'm hoping this new update I'm about to run addresses some of those issues.

  • Trouble with playing movie clips

    PLEASE can someone help?
    I have just imported video footage from my old Sony Handycam and all that appears on the event library is single grey squares...clips?   It takes forever for the beachball to stop whizzing - don't understand it.
    It tried to watch previously imported videos and they seem to work ok.

    Also, one of the "events" shows every single frame and is jerky when I ask it to play.

  • I am having trouble with my video clips not transitioning correctly

    I am making a video in imovie 11.  as I added clips and transitions it was changing my clips and some were not changing to the next clip.  How do I fix this?

    There is also a setting in restrictions - Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and one for Facebook, did you restrict anything in there?

  • Audio export trouble with sped up clips

    This is primarily and audio / export question.  I've edited one source file (that happens to be 4K pro res) into two kinds of clips in one sequence.  part of the file is essentially unaltered and runs at 100% speed.  the other part of the file I have sped up to 3000% speed.  when playing back within premier pro, I hear the audio from clips at both speeds. I want to preserve the 'sped-up' sound of the 3000% speed clips.  BUT, when I export (using any compression or settings — I've tried many) the final video has NO sound accompanying to the sped up sections, though the 100% sections do have accompanying sound. I've done some troubleshooting and found that clips sped up between 3000 - 1200% have no sound when exported, while clips sped up to 1000% or slower DO have sound when exported. Can you help me preserve the 3000% speed sound in export?
    THANKS

    I have seen similar and my work around was to send the audio to Audition, do the time change, save and then import back into Premiere.

  • How to Sync Audio with a Multicam Clip?

    Hello,
    I have three cameras angles that I have synced up, but I can't figure out how to sync my separate audio track to my multi cam clip. Can somebody please advise me on this. Thank you!
    Trey

    Thanks Tom,
    Do you know the best way to set markers when using multi cam clips? Is it better to set the marker to one of the clips before creating the multi cam clip, or set them to the actual multi cam clip?
    Thank you!

  • Having trouble with elongation of clips in iMovie3-Export2QT

    Hello,
    Would anyone be able to give me advice/solutions to my difficulty with iMovie 3? I've created a movie consisting entirely of my photos (with transitions & effects, of course). It looks great when iMovie plays it back for me, but when I export it to a Quick Time format, every photo becomes elongated (i.e. the horizontal to vertical ratio of each frame is out of proportion). This occurs consistently with each new project.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.
    Sincerely,
    ByTheLightOfQuiveringAspensMade

    To further add to Matti's comments... TV's use rectangular pixels. A computer monitor uses square. A TV really has 720 horizontal pixels but because they are rectangular so the horizontal part of each pixel is narrower than it is tall. 720 narrow TV pixels are about equal to 640 square computer pixels. Normally when you work in iMovie, to keep things simple it uses 640x480 format when showing your stuff while behind the scenes it really is maintaining a 720x480 format. It does all this stuff behind the scenes so you don't have to think about it.
    However, as you discovered, when you export a QT file, sometimes you now have to think about it because the square vs. rectangular thing comes into play. When you export QT and under the size setting you tell it to use the current setting or default or whatever it says that indicates it will use the size as it currently is in your project, the ACTUAL ratio is 720 by 640, so that is what it outputs and hence you get the stretched out looking movie. Instead you want to tell iMovie the ratio/size of your export. So if you meant to export the full size, then manually enter in 640x480 and you will get the correct output.

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

  • Fcx-creating multicam clip with two different frame rate

  • I get "Modified File" message with AVCHD clips after making Multicam clip?

    First off, this is only happening to some of the AVCHD clips, and typically not the same ones each time. I've tried trashing the files and re-importing because some clips imported as camera files. There is no DCIM folder in the footage folder. I've re-linked, restared, thrown out ALL the footage, the events, the projects and stared from scratch. The fresh import seemed a-ok this morning until I made the multicam clip.
    I selected "create optimized media" and "create proxy media" when I imported. I'm currently transcoding today's offensive clip again, as fcpx seems to think that is possible. Perhaps that will fix it this time, but I've been stuck in a continual cycle of the clips working and then disappearing and being replaced by various red error mesages for the last few days so I'd like to figure out what is wrong with my workflow.
    I tried archiving the AVCHD files before importing to the event, but fcpx can't see the files on the computer, so I have to use the version on my external drive. I'm also bringing in AVCHD files from an SD card, but so far today those ones have been fine. The multicam contains a sound file and footage from four cameras: a canon DSLR, a Panasonic GH2, and two Sonycams that create AVCHD files.

    There's no automatic way to do this.  You'll have to Match Frame the clips into the Source Monitor, find the In/Out timecodes, then load the new clip with audio and go to those same timecodes to set In/Out points. and add just the audio to the sequence.

  • Trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5. When I start a new path both path and anchor points are not visible. working on a Layer not background 0 and a Path Layer was created.I've also noticed that Photoshop started running pretty slow. All other programs are fine. Any Ideas or suggestions? Thank You

    What do you mean by "a Path Layer was created"?  Path are in the path palette, there is a path in shape layers and they is a path in a vector layer mask. I have never seen a reference to a path layer before this.  When a path in the path palette is selected activate it wall also be shown in the image window.  Does not matter if there is a targeted layer or not.  Control points may or may not be displayed. Using Path tool you can select and select segments and show some or all control points, Path are editable.
