    Ok heres a weird error i just started getting today; i have multiclips laid out and go to do a speed change with either a curve from start or some other sort of variable speed option; however all the curve options are grayed out like it was a nested sequence; it’s not however, just a multiclip which i’ve never had issue with before; any thoughts?

    Running 7.0.2 on 2×2.8 quad xenon 8 gig ram, all software up to date.

    Maybe try collapsing the multiclip after the edit is done?

    tried dropping views to one from 9, tried collapsing, tried removing all effects added before creating the multiclip, nothing seems to work. It’s not just the speed dialouge either, wont allow for keyframes in linear map of motion tab or in the clip keyframes in the timeline directly.

    I did do some digging in the fcp manual and it says you can’t add variable ramps to mc’s; but i could have sworn i was just doing it last week and could do it in studio 2 as well.

    If the manual says it won’t work, I’d go along with the manual. It’s usually right and my memory is usually wrong.

    Well Kevin’s probably on the right track… the fix then is to do it by replacing the multiclip with the original single clip… bet you can speed change that for sure.

    yeah it’s only grayed out on mc footage; which is strange b/c i could’ve sworn i was doing the same thing on the show last week but it must have regular clips
