Problem with Multiclip views
I have been working on a project using multiclips and after a time the viewer will have trouble with the open sync. Instead of having the usual 4-up while playing, it will mirror the display of the canvas. When paused it will again display the standard 4 angles, but not when playing.
It started when I had the projects in 5.0, and brought the project file into FCP 6, assuming it was a bug latter corrected, which resolved the problem for about 40 minutes only to resurface.
The only way to get it working properly is to revert the project to a backup copy, but this 2 steps forward 1 step back way of working is killing me.
Has anyone encountered this issue, is it a bug, and if so are there any ideas of a workaround? I don’t believe I did anything out of the ordinary to switch a setting or such, and I’ve tried reticking the sync option, new sequences, restarts, and nothing seems to resolve it once it happens.
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem and it is SO aggravating!!
Although I may have a solution. I have only just tried this and it worked once, but I am not claiming it is a fix. If anyone has a better fix, please chime in.
I had been having another problem with a different project for about a week where FCP would simply crash every time I used “undo” – imagine how that will kill your work flow! Yesterday a colleague of mine suggested my sequence may be corrupt, which I thought I had already ruled out…
Anyways, what he suggested to do fixed the “undo” crashing and I tried it today for this multiclip view problem and it fixed that too! (This time at least)
In your sequence on the timeline, select all (command A) and copy. Create a new sequence, open it on the timeline and paste. The new one should behave better and once you have verified you copied everything over, you can loose the original sequence and SAVE!!
Hope this helps,

WOW! Thanks for that sequence solution…. I was having a problem where my viewer kept crashing in mulitclip and wouldn’t switch between angles. When I DID manage to get an edit to switch, it was deleting all edits following the new edit. Put it in a new sequence and bazinga! I can edit again…..
It’s always the simplest solution that solves the problem. I know I’ll use this for a lot of problem solving in the future. Thanks again!

The viewer problem is a render issue.
I turned off the visibility on V1 (multitrack) and got the “Render Files may be lost if you continue’ prompt box – which is a good thing in this case.
Turn visibility back on and Bambooozarino!
No more render files = no more viewer issues.
