  Multicam editing: Can’t get blade to show in angle viewer when trying to edit in Timeline

  Posted by Michael Holmes on March 14, 2013 at 6:09 pm

  This problem just appeared. I have done lots of multicam editing in FCPX, it works great.

  But, today I started on a new video and:
  – I created the first multicam clip, it looks fine.
  – I created a Project and appended the multicam clip into the Project, it looks fine.
  – I see all the Angles in the Angle Viewer, it looks normal.
  – I select the Event Browser and hit play, all angles play. I move the curser over an angle and I see a hand, just as I should. everything fine so far.
  – I click in the Timeline and hit the space bar and the selected angle and audio start to play……….BUT the angles in the angle viewer do NOT play. Not right.
  – With the Timeline still selected, I move the curser over an angle in the angle viewer, and i see the hand, NOT the Blade.

  So, FCPX thinks I am still in the Event Browser, even though when I click in the Timeline, the Timeline background color changes to light grey, which says I am in the Timeline. FCPX is not letting me go into the Timeline (even though the background color changes).

  I have to be doing something dumb, but i don’t see it.

  Any suggestions?
