Hi Bouke,
Sorry, I got a 404 broken link…….
Best, Ken.

Thanks Joe,
Yes I’d forgotten about including the audio and graphics! The ‘Proxy cheat’ article was very interesting, will check out the ripple training method. I suspect though that I might bite the bullet and stick to the relative simplicity of copying the entire library and then manually deleting the original media from the copy.
Cheers, Ken.

Hi Bret,
Copy Library sounds useful, especially if it’s to the same drive and effectively empty – save having to wait for Backups to update and using those… but how do you copy a Library? I couldn’t see anything in the file menu – and a web search didn’t help much either… tried at the finder level but that copied the library along with the media.
Tried consolidate but that did not allow me to only copy proxy files – it defaulted to include the original media.
Cheers, Ken.

Great, thanks – will check this out!

Because of this issue I’ve resorted to doing dissolves manually with keyframes, adding ease in and ease out and then adjusting the ramp to taste. Quite time-consuming but excellent results!
Interested to hear about the “Composite in Linear Color” option. Certainly dissolves in FCP7 were much smoother, will try this. But what practical disadvantages are there with the Linear Color option enabled? Will it affect keying for example, or colour grades? Or composite modes?
Cheers! Ken.

What I really don’t get, though, is the frequent call for flattening a multi-cam. Why? What is gained? Is it a performance thing for older hardware? Genuinely puzzled.
One reason might be to enable the export of a simplified EDL or XML. Or to facilitate round-tripping… it’s a handy feature.
Best, Ken.

I see – thanks for this, starting to see the logic now – best, Ken.

Ah ha! Sorry to answer my own question – but solved it. It seems the multicam will not display if the track selector is not enabled on the track that contains the clip. This of course is not the same for a standard clip, so I’m at a bit of a loss as to why it should be so for the nested/multicam clip. Not very intuitive. Anyway – back to work…
Best, ken.

I’ve just noticed – in the multicam clips that do display correctly in the program monitor (showing two cameras on the left hand side and output on the right) the edit cameras option is NOT greyed out. For the clips where the left side is black, this option IS greyed out…. however all the other settings seem identical as far as I can tell…. why do some clips display both cameras and others just have black? All were nested and had multicam option turned on in the same way….Back to the drawing board…
Thanks, Ken.
