Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time?

I read all the manuals,I swear.
I make film collage and want to do multiple layer exposures of different clips.
So far I just have two video tracks-
Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time,I mean each track will create another layer,or exposure that will both play back viewable simultaneously right ?Or would that be considered "layering"?
Does this have anything to do with the source vs. destination thing ?

FCE plays back video tracks in a "top-down" manner: that is what's on track 3 obscures what's on track 2 which obscures what's on track 1. You can control scale, position and opacity of each clip on each track so that you can get the layering you seem to be after.

Seeing multiple video tracks at the same time?

I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and I have two video tracks on the time line. 2 different angles of the same object. I want to sync the audio and what not correctly. I'm wondering if there is a way to be able to do like a "split screen" on the Canvas so I can see video track 1 on the left and video track 2 on the right (or vice versa)?? If so..help! lol, thanks!

You have a few options available to you.
1) You could use FCP's built in Multiclip functionality
2) You could set the Playhead Sync to Gang
3) You could Scale and Center controls in the clip's motion properties to temporarily place the fooatge side by side whilst you edit.
Check your manual for details on these options, then post back.

Is there a way to see or play two video tracks at the same time?

I have video shot using two cameras at the same event. If I take the video and put it in a sequence, say video1 and video2, how can I watch both tracks at the same time so I can edit them? I tried using multi-camera monitor and have that show video1, while watching video2 in the right hand panel, but it doesn't work very well. By that, I mean the multi-camera monitor does not play at the same time. Instead, it stops, then when I play the other monitor it is still until I stop the other one. Then, it "catches up". If I play the multi-monitor, the other one is still until I stop the multi-cam monitor. So, anybody have a better solution that I can use where they both play at the same time?
BTW, my hardware is brand new and I have a 6-core i7-3930K processor with 16 GB of memory, so I don't believe the problem is with my hardware not being enough to run PPro 5.0 correctly.

Preview multiple video tracks at the same time.

This may have already been covered at some point on here but I was unable to find it. Please forgive me if it has.
I'm editing a 2 camera presentation for a company. I've laid both cameras in the sequence. Camera 1 is on V1 and Cam 2 on V2. They are in sync and ready to go. My questions is, "Can I preview or monitor both tracks at the same time as if I was switching this live?" I want to be able to preview cam 1 at the same time cam 2 is playing on the canvas so I know when to cut V2 and switch to V1. Is this possible to do in FCP? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thanks!
Mike

It's not your only option, though you could do that if you wish.
You can still finish the edit with multiclip...(provided your clips are still in sync)
With your playhead at your last cut point, option-click on V1 to activate it's track selector as the only one active, then hit the 'f' key (this will load clip one in the viewer at that point in time). Set an inpoint on clip 1, the do the same for V2 (clip 2)
Next select both clips in the browser and hit control-click / Make Multiclip. Choose 'Synchronize using: In Points', click ok.
Now dbl-click the new multiclip in the browser, make V3 active and hit F-10 (overwrites the multiclip onto V3)Next, dbl-click the V3 multiclip in the timeline, go to the top/center button of the viewer and set the Sync to 'Open'. Then, single-click in an open space in the timeline, place your playhead at the head of the new V3 multiclip and hit the space bar. You should see both clips rolling in sync in the viewer.
Check the manual for Multiclip button bars and any additional settings like activating 'Multiclip Playback'.

PS - you might want to duplicate your working timeline to test this procedure, then you can always delete the old clips and drop your V3 multiclip on to V1 to finish the edit.

My hus why cant I have two browsers open at the same time like i did with 3.6

My husband and I both use facebook. I used to be able to open one browser under his name then another under mine. Since i downloaded the new ff4 I can only get on one at a time and it signs me out of the other. How do I fix this!!!!!

You can look at one of these if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time.<br />

Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

Why cant I see my CSS styles in the new Admin Editor?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I layer 2 video clips in the same time space/ playing side by side at the same time

I wish to add 2 views of the same subject side by side and playing at the same time. Is this A possible and B if so how do I add the second video clip into the same time space

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
This sounds like a split screen effect to me.
If so, one view on Video 1 and the other directly above that is the other view on Video 2.
Then crop each so that each occupies 1/2 the Edit area monitor screen.
(generalized since I do not know your program version, see effects Transform/Crop).
I wrote the following in 2011 for a Premiere Elements 8 user in another forum
Your basic tools to achieve your goal are Crop Video Effect and Horizontal Flip Video Effect.
Video ONE on video track 1.
Video TWO on video track 2, directly above Video ONE.
Highlight Video ONE on video track 1, Edit Mode/Effects/Video Effects/Transform/Crop, followed by adjusting the crop under Edit Effects (see bottom of Effects Panel) so that Video ONE occupies the left half of the screen.
Do the same for Video TWO on video track 2, Edit Mode/Effects/Video Effects/Transform/Crop etc. so that Video TWO occupies the right half of the screen. BUT end with Edit Mode/Effects/Video Effects/Transform/Horizontal Flip.
Highlight the video on either side to make adjusts in the Properties Palette and appropriate Panel (position, cropping, etc). But, remember that if you make changes in the "flipped" right side of the screen, Edit Effects/Crop Panel right option will be for left and left option will be for right.
You may or may not need the "flip" part of the effect.
Please review and consider. If I have misinterpreted your question, please let me know with details and I will rethink what you seek.
Thanks.

Have created multiclip. Moved it from browser to viewer. Saw that the 2 angles were not sync'd. Held down control/shift on one angle to scroll through clip to put them into sync. Both angles move at the same time. What is happening?

Created Multiclip in browser. Moved it to the viewer. Saw that they were not exactly sync'd. Held down shift/control to move one angle to match the other. Both angles move at the same time. What is happening? I have done this before and have always been able to re-sync my clips to do my edit.

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

Play two video files at the same time.

I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
Best,
Fayin

You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.

Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Pancenter,
Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
Many thanks

Multiple Inst tracks recorded @ the same time

I AM TRYIN TO RECORD TWO INST TRACKS AT THE SAME TIME USING TWO SEPERATE MIDI DEVICES. IS THIS POSSIBLE, AND IF SO HOW IS IT DONE ?
THANKYOU.

Ok, let's try step-by-step.
I'm assuming you already have in the arrange window two instrument tracks for Inst1 and Inst2 such that you can play/record each instrument individually.
Now proceed as follows
1. Open the environment and choose the Audio layer. From the New menu choose the Channel Splitter. It appears on the window. Make sure that its Icon box is checked in the parameter box. Then draw cables from output1 to Inst1 and output2 to Inst2.
2. Open the arrange window. Create a new track. Click and hold the track name, from the popup menu select (Channel Splitter). Voila, now we have the channel splitter track!
3. Make sure the channel splitter track is selected.
4. Make sure your midi devices are sending on midi channels 1 and 2.
Now you should be able to play and record both devices at the same time. The recorded notes will first appear on the channel splitter track. After recording select the region and apply 'Demix by Event Channel'. This will create two new tracks containing the recorded notes of each instrument. For playback drag both regions to the original instrument tracks.
Good luck! Feel free to ask if something doesn't work as expected.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track.

i am sorry, guys, but I really really really need you guys' help. if u know ANYTHING...

In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

Hi
Wrong..
To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
Maybe this will help
