[Jim Watt] ” Thanks & sorry for the trouble”

No trouble at all. It’s always the obvious things that make you crazy.

[Jim Watt] ” Somewhere along the line I lose the two source camera clips in the multicam monitor so I have a black frame on the left and the timeline on the right.”

Jim, do you realize that the multicam window only shows the lowest toggled track? If your track targeting changes to show track 2 as multicam, meaning track 1 is toggled off, it will show black when you play sections of the timeline with your multicam is only on track 1.

[Jim Watt] “Yep. Tried that.”

I’m assuming that your not talking about an empty preview monitor, but rather no preview monitor at all. If so it sounds like a corrupted timeline – I use multicam all the time and I’ve never seen that behavior. If you create a new editing timeline and copy the cut sections over what happens?

[Jim Watt] “Any suggestions on how to get my multicam viewer back.”

Excuse me if I’m stating the obvious but SHIFT + 0 (zero) toggles the multicam viewer off and on.

[Dan Sakols] “So is there a way to remap the audio?”

Dan, pull up the track mixer and pan track 1 to the left and track 2 to the right – stereo.

To get single stereo tracks you’d have to do the following – go to the bin and highlight all your clips then right click and choose “modify/audio settings” and set them all to stereo. This will not change what is already in your timeline, but you can go thru thru your timeline and for each audio cut do a match frame, and then hit edit, and you will replace each mono cut with the stereo. It doesn’t take that long to do.

[John Kaley] “No need to upgrade for this feature. It’s available right now in all CC Premiere versions.
*Edit* CC2015 doesn’t have to import the assets, other versions do.”

Thanks, didn’t know that.

Thanks for posting. Interesting how much they are studying feature film workflows. I haven’t upgraded to CC 2015 yet, but that ability to browse other projects and copy into current project might make me upgrade.

[Tim Wilson] “After 50 years straight of Citizen Kane at #1”

I love Vertigo, but that’s just critics trying to be oh so clever.

“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be” – she always called me Elwood – “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”

[Tim Wilson] ” There’s, like, this retired detective, and he’s supposed to check up on the wife of an old acquaintance, but he starts falling for her, except she jumps off a tower, but he’s too dizzy to help her and she dies.”

Vertigo is on my short list of the 5 greatest movies of all time, possibly influenced by the fact my mother took me to see it when I was about six and since I could not possibly process it in any rational way it has been warping my mind ever since.

A friend of mine once introduced the notion that the movie is a depiction of what goes thru Jimmy Stewart’s mind in the moments before he falls from the building at the beginning of the film, until his death when he lands. It’s as good as any way to make sense of the absolutely dream like nature of every moment of that film. Watch it and notice how there are very few background extras in what is supposed to be San Francisco – all you see is Jimmy and Kim Novak walking thru empty streets.

If there was one film I would have liked to interview Hitchcock about, that would be the one. On the other hand I don’t think he would have had much use for re-framing.

[Bill Davis] “Defined by the company we *don’t* keep?

I can accept that.”

This is a little delphic for me, I think you might still be hearing voices.
