Time Remapping Deleted When Multicamera Clips Flattened?

[Alex Udell]

hmmmm….

I can see why you would want to work this way…

and I could see why it might be difficult to do…

your base source has a time code….

the multicam source timeline has a timecode…

when you time remap in the context of a multicam source timeline…PPro is using the timecode from the sequence…

when you flatten now you are using the time code of the underlying source….

they won’t be the same…which may be why time remapping gets nullified…

so I’m guessing….don’t flatten time remapped nests….or render and replace? (I’d move to a duplicate sequence in this case anyway…cuz it sounds like you are more in the finishing stage at this point)

Thanks, Alex.

After quitting and restarting a few times and after several attempts, I was able to copy the problem multicam clip to a new track, flatten it and paste on the time remapping from the original. It wasn’t without error, but luckily, the error was that the tail end, after the remap, was set to the wrong speed. So, I just put that in line with the original clip and everything was ok. It definitely wasn’t a smooth fix though, so there is a problem here.

well good!

guess I should have tested before typing, ey?

Hey Scott
I’m having the same issue but with masks. When I flatten a multicam clip with an opacity mask, the mask completely disappear. I can copy and paste it but it would really streamline the finishing process if the clips kept their properties.
