XML Multi Camera import file is crashing in Premiere

Hello. I'm trying to work with an imported FCP XML file that is a multi camera edit or as FCP calls it multi clip. I'm only using 3 cameras. Every time I go to select any of the edits on the timeline inside of Premiere I get the following error and then Premiere crashes: [/Whitfield/MediaCore/Backend/Make/Mac/../../Src/Sequence/TrackItemSelection.cpp-156]
I'm using Premiere 4.0.1. I'm running 10.5.8 OS.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks Jeff! That worked! I've been working on this all day....
Thanks a lot!

TS1776 When I go to File/Import File itunes crashes, can you help?

I am trying to copy movies onto my iPad and when I go to File/import file itunes quits.

This can happen if you are in private browsing mode which disables some menu items.
# In the Tools menu select Options to open the options window
# Go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember History", or if it is set to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Can't find imported files after crash

I'm using FCPX with a Macbook Pro 15" (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7). I've been importing old video on mini DV media for the past few weeks. Today FCP crashed during import. None of the material was in the project after reopening. So I imported again. Same thing happened. After a 3rd attempt to import failed, I noticed that my hard drive space was significantly reduced. I assume the imported material is on my hard drive, but I can't locate it. Does anyone have an idea where it might be found?

Hello
As it works for me, I assumes that it may be useful to read:

What is the most plain xml format to import clips and sequence into Premiere ?

I want to create xml includes sequence and clips to import Premeire.
In this case, I have a reference xml that is exported from premiere for finalcut pro. But this finalcut pro export format looks so complicated because has alot of property that is belong to premiere pro. I tested by deleting some of them from xml and imported again, didn't effected anything.
Here is the question, How can I create an xml which requires minimum property details for premiere sequence and clips ? Is there any reference better than FinalCut Pro export xml format ?

Bruce from adobe replied that FCP Format is the best to import Premiere.
So I read FCP Format Documentation from http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=97%26section=3 %26tasks=true

Premiere Pro CC multi camera sync

I have a problem here: When trying to create a multi-camera-source file. I have two cameras, with audio from the camera and a .wav file from my zoom recorder. The .wav file has been adjusted in Audition CS6
Premiere pro cc sync's all the camera audio and video just fine, it creates a multi-camera-source nested file , but the .wav file from my zoom is out of sync despite there being a 'very' audible hand-clap on all the tracks ...
This would be a great feature if it worked.
Any ideas why this might happen and any ideas for solutions.

HI Mark,
Hope you don't mind me bringing this up here but I also had an issue with Syncing clips with new multicam feature. Mine was slightly different though in that often we film with two cameras and a Zoom H4N recording audio.
Often we will stop and start the cameras but then sync using audio waveform with the always recording zoom H4N. In Plural Eyes this would sync great and all the camera shots would stay in one video track in the timeline (i.e. the one assigned to that camera). However, using Adobe Sync option it made a new video track for each shot from each camera!! I had about 40 new video tracks to sort through and the sync hadn't worked.
Is there a way to enable all the shots from one camera to stay on the one track when syncing via Adobe?
Cheers for any help.
Best wishes,
Alex

Editing A Multi Camera Shoot

Can someone point me to a nice tutorial on how to set up my multi camera shoot files so that I can do a mock "live switch" on my FCP? I am tinkering with the "Make Multi Clip" set up, but I just can't seem to figure out how to view the three cameras, make camera angle selections, etc.
Thanks,

its not as hard as it may at first appear Pete
1. open each of your 3 clips in the viewer and mark an In point on an easily identified frame (clapper, camera flash, blink etc)
2. select the 3 clips in the browser and choose Modify menu > Make Multicip
3. in the multiclip window's popup menu tell it to sync on In point and click OK
4. drag the multiclip you just made ( the clip with its name in italics )
5. set the View menu > Playhead Sync > Open
thats it ... now you should see your 3 clips displaying simultaneously in a 4 up display in the viewer

Wmv file crashes my premiere pro

I realize all of the limitations of wmv files in terms of editing and quality.
however, i need this one small clip which happens to be a WMV. file. (only 15 mb)
when i import it, it crashes my premiere pro.
any ideas

I am running the newest trial of premier elements downloaded from the internet
i have Core [email protected] ghz (which is factory overclocked per intel specs)
16 gb memory
os is ssd drive
data drive is standard sata drive
GPU processor
Nvidia gforce gtx 470
wmv file is only 16 mb large, and when i import it and pull it onto a video track,
Premier pro just stops responding.

Multi-cam vs. the Reference monitor

I use multi-cam to cut two views together.
Each view is in its own sequence, and those two sequences are the two tracks in the "multicam source"
While viewing the "multicam destination" sequence, I often use the Application-wide keyboard shortcut to "Toggle Multi-camera View".
I like to keep the Reference Monitor up with some scopes on it while editing, to keep an eye on the relative color between the two cameras.
Sometimes, the Reference Monitor pops back to "Composite" view, instead of my scopes. It happens SOMETIMES when I use the hotkey to
toggle Multi-camera view.
Whether it changes the Reference Monitor view depends on which panel has focus when I hit the hot key!
1) If the Program monitor has focus, and I hit the hot key to toggle Multi-Camera View, no problem, the Ref monitor stays on scopes as I want.
2) If the Timeline panel has focus, then the silly Reference Monitor pops back to Composite View.
FYI, I checked, and there is no specific Timeline panel hotkey using the same keystroke (I am using shift-6)
Any idea if there is something to prevent the Ref Monitor from changing its settings from scopes to Composite like this?
I doubt this is an intended behavior, probably just an odd edge case.
I do see that the Program Monitor panel has an available keyboard shortcut called "Multi-Camera", but since I don't have the problem when focus is in the Program Monitor, I don't think this is relevant. (I have it assigned to no keyboard shortcut right now).
As a side note, It would be really nice if the program monitor could remember for each sequence whether it should be showing "Multi-Camera View" or not.
I often have to switch between looking at the multi-cam destination, and looking at other sequences... and it makes no sense that those other sequences should be viewed in Multi-cam mode, just because some other sequence was being viewed in multi-cam mode. No?

Right,
So here was the problem, in case any of you people out there are going nuts with what appears to be a broken project.
In the timeline above the multicam layer, I was dropping in graphics. I was cutting and pasting them in.
In order to do so I have to highlight the layer that I want to drop the graphics onto.
As shown below.
As soon as a layer gets a highlight other than the Multicam layer, the Program Monitor will no longer show multicam.
Remove the highlighted layer as seen below.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers..

When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

Multi-cam project crashing in FCP

Hi,
I'm cutting a multi-cam project and the system I'm cutting on keeps crashing - and it appears to be crashing just after the auto save.
The project is a five camera shoot, all on XDCam EX3 35mbs 1080 / 25p (ingested into FCP, native clips are then combined into a multiclip & put into an HD Pro Res timeline - the Apple Pre-set: Apple ProRes 422(HQ) 1920x1080 50i version).
The system I'm working on is an 8 Core (2x2.8ghz quad core intel) with 16gb RAMM, OSX 10.5.8 (this isn't my own system)
The actual FCP project is still pretty small (currently only 24mb), although this will be increasing (I'm cutting 10x1 hour shows).
The system appears to hang up just after doing an autosave (I say this because the time stamps on the most recent autosave are usually within a minute or two of the crash). I get the spinning ball of death, and then the system crashes (although not always, it tends to crash about 40% of the time when the spinning ball of death appears).
I'm running the system fairly minimally: I've reduced the number of audio tracks playing in real time to 2, and the audio playback quality to Low (it's stand up comedy). I am running with the waveform showing on one audio track (I've crushed the other tracks so it's not showing - although I don't know if this means the audio waveform isn't being calculated for those tracks). I've only got one track of audio actually playing.
I've reduced the playback quality & frame rate to dynamic, but I am running 5 streams of EX3 35mbs vision through the multicam playback window, in a pro res sequence (1920x180).
I've already deleted the FCP preferences & zapped the P-RAMM a couple of times.
Any ideas on how I can reduce the crashes?
Thanks!

Thanks Shane & Tony,
I'll try that, fortunately we've only shot & ingested the first few shows, so we can still fit the transcoding process into our workflow. (I had heard this suggested prior to starting the edit, but wanted to avoid it if possible because of the extra work involved).
BTW, my method for transcoding the media to Pro Res for the two sequences that I've already edited, would be to identify the transcoded EX3 QT files that have been ingested (at desktop level), take these QT files into compressor, apply & run the standard apple Pro Res template, and then re-link the clips in FCP to the new transcoded media files (which would have identical names, but be the transcoded Pro Res Version). Then re-link the sequence.
Obviously, for the shows that I haven't cut yet, I'd just ingest, & then transcode the media, & re-import the transcoded Pro Res media ready for editing.
Do you have a better way of transcoding the EX3 files to re-link to the edited sequence?
Thanks!

How to add newly imported audio - as a new storyline/angle to existing multi cam Project??

I have a 6 camera multi cam Music Video Project I have been working on in depth for 5 days. The "band" has sent me a new & improved .wav file to replace the audio I have been working with on one "song". I have imported it into the event, cannot figure out how to add it as a new angle (that I will manually sync on the timeline) and then make it the active audio monitor angle. I see ways to "connect it" but not how to have it appear in the 6up display & on its own story/time line in the precision editor. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am losing mu mind. Please help?
Thanks

Man oh man. I need to take a break & eat somthing, how embarassing. I swear I knew that but had an attack of hysterical blindness or... the disclose arrow>add new... Thank You Tom for your quick & thouriough reply. Have a swell holiday.

Premiere crashes after nested than multi cam

Premiere crashes after nested than multi cam

I am getting the same error, I worked on an hour long Doc with Premiere CC 7.0 doing the same process without issue, now I continually get a "trackItem.ccp-156" serious error crashes. Taking all the media offline in the project and creating a multicam clip from a nest on the timeline still occurs, so i'm guessing it's a project file corruption, and not a media corruption issue. I've tried deleting preferences, deleting media cache and preview files, and the same crash keeps coming up. Creating a new project and bringing in the old sequence still crashes on the same nested clip.

Multi-cam project crashing in FCP - continued

Hi,
Recently I had a question about cutting XDCam EX3 media in multi-cam on FCP (Shane & Tony gave some very good advice). The initial response - to transcode my EX3 media into ProResLT & then use these clips for multi-cam editing worked well (I'm cutting 10 x 75 min stand up comedy shows, 5 camera multicam, and will be delivering in standard Def PAL, but editing in HD).
However, I have a new problem, which may be related - simply that the FCP project keeps crashing, often just after an autosave.
Originally, I did have all of the edits in the same project, but to simplify things and reduce the size of the project file, which was only hitting 125mb at most (with 16gb of RAMM, running in 32bit, so max 4gb RAMM available to FCP), I've moved each acts edit into it's own project, so that the project just has one sequence (albeit quite complex) and it's source clips, and some effect templates in each individual project.
However, I'm still getting the same problem - the system keeps crashing, seemingly without a trigger event (although often it has appeared to crash just after an autosave).
There are two messages which have come up occasionally as part of the crash message: it's identified (on different occasions), two different plugins as having caused problems: the KG Core plug in, and the Black Magic plug in (we're using a Black Magic Decklink HD extreme card as our video card)
The crashes seemingly occour at random - often we can get through half a day without a crash, then once the gremlins kick in, it will keep crashing, often within moments of playback starting again.
My feelings are that it's something to do with playback of the multicam sequence - 5 streams of ProResLT, running from a RAID drive with a Mini SAS connection, which should handle the data throughput (sometimes with a one of a simple range of effects: Smooth Cam, 3 way colour grade, but I don't think it's the effects).
On this edit, the system that I'm cutting on is a Mac Pro 8 Core, with 16gb RAMM, with a Raid drive for the media, connected via a Mini SAS connection (all the ProResLT media is on this drive, and it's about 80% full, although we've had to juggle media a bit, which has meant adding, deleting & adding new media to the drive, while trying to keep the volume less than 90% full)
So, those are the details, does anyone have any suggestions on why our system keeps crashing?
Thanks in advance for your help & advice!
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks Thomas,
No I haven't done this yet (or really known about it, until now), but I'm downloading the trial version, and I'll run it ASAP, to see if it can give any clues.
It sounds like a path to a solution!
Thanks!

'create multi-camera source sequence' crashes premiere pro

Hi,
I use 'create multi-camera source sequence' to sync up 2nd system audio with DSLR footage.
If i select more than say 10 clips to sync with an audio file it will crash premiere pro CC 2014 50% of the time.
Does anyone else find this? is it naturally unstable?
syncing by 'audio mixdown'
I'm on a new Mac Pro 6 core, 16gb RAM, Pegasus 2 RAID.
Cheers

You can see a good tutorial on the entire process here - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/multicamera-workflows-with-premiere-pro/
The help page also gives step by step - Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Multi-camera editing workflow. I was talking about step 4. Create a multi-camera target sequence.

Any way to import multi-layered Illustator file into Motion?

I have an Illustrator map of Europe and i would like to bring it into Motion.
I know that Motion can import Illustrator files as pdf but is there any way to import a multi-layered illustrator file into Motion. I just saw this web site regarding a Motion plug-in that claims to do just this:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16298/layerlink

Without a dedicated plug or FxPlug, Motion has no inherent ability to parse Illustrator layers.
We just bust the layers out and save them as individual files. Or, of course, we use After Effects.
