  • “switch video with effects” in multiclip not working – what am I missing?

    Posted by Todd Reid on November 18, 2005 at 2:41 pm

    I’m doing some multicam editing and I’d like to have most of the cuts be dissolves.
    I assume that is what the manual meant when it talked about “switch video with effects”.
    The manual says to use shift + 1-9 (on keypad). When I try that it does nothing.
    apple + 1-9 (on keypad) cuts the video just fine.

    Can anyone help?
    I’m using a dual 2.7, fcp5.03

    I thought this would be just an easy oversight.
    I figured several people would have replied to tell me how much of a newbie
    I must be to ask such a question.
    I am far from a newbie (12 yrs edit experience-linear & non)

    Has anyone successfully used multiclip with transitions (all i want is a bunch of dissolves)?
    Has anyone become as frustrated as I am when the manual’s suggestions don’t work?
    Is there anybody out there?
