crazy multiclip behavior in FCP 5.14
Hi, all:
trying to do multiclip editing for a conference video… I have 2 FCP setups: #1 PowerMAC 2.7 dual; #2 PowerMAC Quadcore 2.5
On both systems, when I set playhaed sync to OPEN, the viewer image jumps to the selcted clip and no longer shows the 3 clips I have set up as a multiclip synchede to in point.
The ftg was captured with two audio tracks, so I paired them, re-renderd and the same thing happens with hte new ftg…
any thoughts?
thanks, in advance…

If you render a timeline sequence that had multiclips in it,
you will no longer see the multiclips when playing. If you stop
the playback, you will then see the multiclips in the viewer.
Just remove your render of the timeline and you will see all your
multiclip angles again in the viewer. Click the green button on the
left of your multiclip track (visable), then click again. This removes
the render. You could also do this for just one area of your timeline
by highlighting the clip or clips, then control click the clip and
un select clip enable. This will remove the render ONLY on the highlighted clips.
Then do again and select clip enable to get your clip back.Dan

Hi, Dan:
Thanks for your quick reply, but your suggestions did not solve the problem. The whole multiclip thing is acting very erractically on both systems.
When I double click the multiclip in the browser, it loads only into the Viewer, not into the Timeline as indicated in the pdf manual on p II-278 “To make multiclip cuts in real time using the Viewer”…
If I load the Mclip into the Viewer, then also drag it from the Browser to the TL; then un-enable it as per your suggestion, the Viewer Mclip plays fine, but with no sound.
If I re-enble the Mclip in the TL, then I hear audio; but when I try to cut by choosing a different angle, the system stops. (Laissez les bons temps roullez)Are there any cutters out there who do NOT have multiclip problems?
Thanks, in advance.

You are incorrect about how multiclips work.
They work similar to clips. If you double click on a multiclip
in the browser, it will load in the viewer. You can mark in and out points
on the multiclip just like you do on any clip. But the way most people
edit with multiclips is you drag the multiclip to your sequence
and edit it down to what you need. After a multiclip is in your sequence, then you enable
the multiple screens in the viewer by using the playhead sync box in the top
middle of the canvas, selecting ‘open’.Under your RT setting (top left of timeline) make sure you enable multiclip playback.

Hi, Dan:
Yes, I was incorrect! You should be writing manuals for Apple – you just boiled down about 15 pages of confusing tech-speak into a usable formula. Thank you!

Glad to help.
You do the same for someone else next time, ok?
That’s the spirit of the Cow 🙂Dan
