Oliver –

Have you tried the new EQ and Ambience matching features of RX4 yet?
The price for the advanced version is a little steep for me but I am definitely intrigued by some of its features. I already have the denoiser as part of Soundforge and love the quality and ease of use, just wondering about your decision to go for the advanced version.

[Jana Birchum] ” Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong that made it see each shot as a different camera?”

You didn’t do anything wrong, that’s the way the “create multicam” function works: the software doesn’t know the different clips are from the same camera so they lay them on different tracks. If you have Plural Eyes, then use it to sync and then use the Plural Eyes timeline in Ppro to create a multicam source timeline — Drag that sequence into the “new” icon. That creates a new sequence with a nest in it. Open that timeline, Right click on the nest and select multicam -> enable. Open the multicam monitor and your now good to go.

[Jana Birchum] “when I create an multicam sequence by putting them all in a bin and using the “create multicam source sequence”, it does it, but it leaves out quite a few clips which it says it can’t process.”

I’m assuming your using the audio waveforms to sync everything. The clips it can’t process don’t have high enough quality audio for Premiere to find sync points. If you have, or can afford, Plural Eyes, then my experience is that Plural Eyes will find sync where Ppro can’t. Otherwise you will have to guess at your sync points and manually move the clips around the multicam source timeline as I describe when answering your next question.

[Jana Birchum] “The multicam sequence that results has WAAAAY to many source boxes, like 49. The Source window is 7 boxes wide by 7 boxes tall. ??????? What?”

Every start and stop of a camera is treated as a different camera angle by Ppro. The solution is to find the multiclip in the browser, right click and choose open in timeline (double clicking won’t work.)Once you’ve done this you can now manually consolidate all the clips from a single source onto a single track. In your case you should end up with 4 tracks – one each for the two streaming cameras, one for the audio and one for the now consolidated video.

[Oliver Peters] ” I set a default audio dissolve length and apply that to all edits in one step. Then I go through the timeline and listen. Any that don’t work are tweaked.”

Instead of posting my reply I just should have “liked” yours. This is exactly how I work.

[James Ewart] “Default audio cross fades are a bit of a “bodge” IMHO. Audio needs to be a bit more subtle than that ideally.”

I routinely apply a 3 frame audio cross to all of my audio cuts and then do fine adjustments, including removing those that don’t work at all, as I go through the final mix. It might be a “bodge” but it let’s me sleep better at nite. Any NLE that doesn’t let me do this better have a good substitute.

I use color encoded NLE specific keyboards and any old 2 button mouse – left hand on the keyboard, right hand on the mouse because of a bad digit on my right hand. I like the idea of dedicated hardware, never found anything that worked well for me. I’ve just ordered the gaming pad though, thanks for the tip.

[James Ewart] “I would say that the negativity I experience towards FCPX (that echoes Legacy) is irrational and has an agenda.”

If it’s irrational, than by definition it doesn’t have an agenda. And I agree that it’s not rational, it’s emotional.

[James Ewart] “As for zero market penetration. No not zero. It’s certainly not zero. Not at the BBC anyway. Okay the BBC is tiny in context but over here people watch what they do. Like Walter Murch it’s seal of approval.”

Your right, I’m guilty of a “Bill Davis” — a factual exaggeration to make a point. Very limited penetration would be more accurate.

[James Ewart] “Read the forums and read the vitriol directed at FCPX from various quarters and tell me that does not smack of threatened. If not threatened then what is it please? Why would they care?”

It sounds like a jilted lover to me.

[James Ewart] “Well that doesn’t make sense as they must have very short memories. Surely FCPX is the next most promising NLSE and if not, why not?”

Well from your point of view X might be the most promising. From my point of a view it’s a wankel rotary engine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_engine ) in that it’s advantages when balanced against it’s disadvantages make the price of novelty a bit high for my tastes. YMMV and it obviously does.

[James Ewart] ” what is strangest to me is how threatened a lot of people have become not just by FCP Legacy way back when but even more so by X recently. The response has been emotional more than rational. Why I wonder?

What’s the threat? Just learn it and use it.”

I’m not personally aware of anyone threatened by X. If you are a broadcast or film editor how can you be threatened by a product with virtually zero market penetration in your area. I do know a lot of people pissed at Apple for the demise of Legacy, a demise that dead ended the fastest growing and most promising NLE workflow in existence. This anger is focused on X as the culprit by folks who have no use for X’s inovations — at the moment. But how you can go from that to the meme that “editors feel threatened by X” I don’t quite understand.

[Bill Davis] “(Now I shall wait patiently for you to acknowledge that “FCP X fanboy” has been just as prevalent.”

I would think the “fanboy” to “dinosaur” ratio was about 60/40 in the first 2 years (that is, more invective hurled at X users than hurled at nay-sayers.) Nowadays, I’d say it’s about 50/50. But then again I never said the fanboy tirades didn’t exist. I leave historical alteration to others — I’m just the self appointed forum fact checker.
