I was just having a conversation about this exact topic with a few other editors and it led me to this post. It just seems so obvious to be able to turn a synced sequence into a multi-cam clip. Each track should be assigned to the corresponding angle and it could be totally editable, much like a nest.
Anyway, I have nothing constructive to add here. I’m basically just replying so I can follow the post. In the meantime, I’ve been using a similar work around as you are. Instead of using “solo track” though, I built a 5 screen template (I’m cutting with five cameras) to make it look like a multi-cam clip. Then I just paste the attributes to all the clips that I want to use in my fake multi-cam clip. At least I can see all 5 cameras at once that way.

I just came here looking for the solution to the same problem. I only have 4 layers and a camera move. Everything looked fine until I tried exporting. Mysteriously, a layer was missing in the final QT movie. I went back and it was there in the Motion project. Tried rendering again and again it was missing. Then, when I went back to the motion project, it was missing there too. Now, it’s alternating between missing and there, but I can’t get it to export with the layer visible. It’s really bizarre.

Shows that I’ve worked on in the past had issues while rendering ProRes, some similar to the ones we’re having now. We were able to work much more smoothly when we switched over to DVCPRO HD. It was like night and day. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but I just feel like it’s a more stable codec (maybe I’ve just been unlucky with ProRes in the past). It’s also the format it was originally shot on.
I do agree though, the frame size can get annoying.

Thanks Aaron. I’m going to give that a try now.
I should also mention that we’re cutting in Apple ProRes HQ. I don’t know if that’s contributing to the problem, but we’re switching to DVCPRO HD from the next episode on.

Not sure if this will help anybody now, but I had the same problem with rendering stills which lead me to this post. Try working in DVCPRO HD instead of Apple Pro Res. I noticed that everyone having the problem seemed to be using pro res (as I was), so I copied my work into a DVCPRO HD sequence and rendered all of my stills with no problem. I’ve worked on a few shows that started out using Apple Pro Res and changed to DVCPRO HD mid-stream. I think the show I’m working on now is going to do the same beginning with the next episode.

awesome…thanks Shane. I have to chop over 2 minutes from my show today and this is going to help out a lot.

Mark,
I came across this thread via a google search. I’m actually in the opposite situation. I have a FCP brain that I’m trying to wrap around AVID logic. In FCP I am constantly using the Track Selection Tool (TTTT – or just T+shift…shift toggles any tool into the “super tool”). You mentioned that AVID copied this feature. I’m working on a Media Composer (v3.0.5) right now. How can I use that feature? There are many things I miss from FCP, but that’s probably at the top of the list.
Thanks for any help.
