Multicam Viewer problem
I’m cutting a five camera music production in multicam. When I went to bed last night I was able to see all of my camera angles in the Viewer window as I played within the timeline. Wake up this morning and now I only see the camera that I selected yesterday in the viewer as I play the timeline. This only occurs in part of the timeline, the part of the timeline under the “green” render bar allows me to see all angles in the viewer. The part of the timeline under the blue-grey render bar is where I only see selected angle. is there an autorender that I can turn off, if in fact that is the problem?
How do I get my timeline back so that I can see all camera angles all of the time, even after I wake up?
Thanks

Ashley,
You can turn off autorender in the bottom right of the user prefrences window, which will prevent FCP from autorendering anything if you leave it open and inactive for an X amount of time (as in overnight).
The problem you’re running into is happening because the Open playhead sync is now opening the render file in the viewer that it is playing in the canvas/timeline (rather than opening the multiclip). To get your multiclip playback back, the easiest way would be to turn of visibility on the video tracks that contain your multiclips, then turn visibility back on again. This will disconnect your video from the render files and display them using RT again. However your render files WILL still exist and take up space on your system, but they will not be serving any purpose. The better way to get your clips back without sacrificing disk space would be to use the render manager under tools, and delete the render files associated with your sequence. Once the render files are deleted, Final Cut will not recognize these ‘rendered’ segments as so, and will begin to play them back again in RT.
Hope that helps,
Ben
