Multiclip question
I’ve cut a 1 hour long two camera presentation using multiclip. Everything worked fine. I shut down FCP overnight and stared it up today. Now I can’t seem to see the multiclip videos move in the source window. If i hit all stop both angles appear, but if I hit play, I only see the full screen image. I have it set to OPEN in the viewer, but it’s not showing me boh clips. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Stupid suggestion: check your RT settings and see if “Multiclip playback” is enabled?

Also, have you trashed your preferences? Multicam/clip does get wonky from time to time and tossing the preferences usually solves the issue.

I know this is basic stuff, but this always works for me double-click on the clip on the timeline to re-load it into the viewer, then re-select “Open” from the drop-down menu. This should reset everything.

it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these edits, but I’m pretty sure the play head sync needs to be set to gang.

“Gang” may work, but I’ve always used “Open”
In fact, I’m working on one right now. -
No I’ve always used “open” as well I cut the whole show that way. RT playback is set to multiclip, I’ve tried double clicking a clip in the timeline to reset it as was suggested. Still no luck. When I hit the space bar I see both cameras in the viewer, but when I hit play, I only get the full frame of what’s on the timeline.
I even tried dragging this to a new sequence. That doesn’t work either, but when I just drop one of my multiclip clips onto that same sequence it works fine.

Hi Greg
Wondering wether you got a solution yet?
I have exactly the same problem occuring here:
FCP 6.0.5 on OSX5.6 HDV 1080i50

I’m also having the same issue with this. Wondering if there was any more advice on this situation

I know I’m a month behind on this post so I am sure that you either already figured out what you needed to or made do. However I think I figured out the issue. I noticed that some of my multiclips played back only one clip in the viewer once my render bar for that section was blue. Switching the angle, which I imagine causes the clip to become unrendered, changes the render bar back to green over the selected clip allowing all angles to be viewed while in open sync.
I also just tried trashing my render folder and got the same results. Don’t know why this ocurrs but hopefully this helps down the road for people.
