    Also, there are things you can do with regular clips that you can’t do to a multicam clip like stabilize. Also you may have clips from one angle that need to be color corrected in different ways depending on how zoomed in the image is. You can color correct in the multicam clip opened in its own timeline, but that is applied to all uses of your clip.

    So it would be nice to have that functionality of 7 where you can collapse the multicam after you finished editing.

    I’ve had some success taking a bit of an angle and applying stabilise to just that section. It is a bit annoying not being able to apply stabilise to shots within the Multicam project.

    [James Ewart] “I’ve had some success baking a bit of an angle and applying stabilise to just that section. It is a bit annoying not being able to apply stabilise to shots within the Multicam project.”

    It would be nice if we could simply match back to the original source (instead of the multiclip) and add another instance in to the timeline. Right now, you have to double click the mutliclip, find the in and out points manually in the angle editor, cut the clip, and stabilize that cut clip in the angle editor.

    Super convoluted and it could be a lot easier.

    The problem I see with flattening a multi clip is that the audio would become a mess if the multiclip wasn’t in the primary storyline. There will need to be a structural change to X (like allowing connected clips to non-primaries) in order for flatting of multi clips to not be a total cluster.

    PS Does any one else say multiclip sort of like Leeloo says multipass?

    Yes the audio gets messy. When you use the x to 7 to x – “xml roundtrip” as I described earlier, you end up with the source audio cut up into a bunch of connected clips. I imagine the same to be true of the x to resolve process. It certainly is that way when you go x to pro… The audio guy goes, “why in the heck did you blade the audio to shreds?”

    So perhaps an easier way to match a multicam angle cut in the project back to an original clip (selecting that as a range) would be a good solution. But even that is still messy because any color corrections you may have applied in the multicam angle will not be back on your original.

    I’ll take the flattening and the ugly audio connections so that color that I may have applied in the angles comes through to the flattened clips in the timeline.

    I’m with you. Let’s get this party started.

    But isn’t that the other problem? The audio all gets bladed to shreds anyway. Ideally we have to expand all audio components and then drag the ones we are using back along the timeline to get rod of them and I suppose disable those we don’t want to use. or has this been fixed?

    when I apply colour correction in angle editor I see it in Multicam sequence

    “did you try compound clip ?”

    Um no…does that get rid of the little audio edits you can occasionally hear?
