OK, so I did that, and yes it works, but now I’ve got a new problem, which is that I need to start doing gamma correction, and as far as I can tell, this puts me in the ugly position of having to swap back and forth between the timeline-expanded view of the nest sequence (which gives me access to the Effects Controls on the individual clips), but it completely loses track of the multicam viewer that I’d like to be looking at.
How do I get my four-camera view that I can then use for touching up the color of each window so that they match?

FWIW, I totally agree that Adobe seem to be so damn proud of having multicamera support at all that by default they make the multicam window violate the rest of the UI bargain. And I also agree that having some windows respect PLAY while others don’t is just insane. We have global motion control for physical hardware–how hard can it be to implement in software?

I have seem FCPX crash so many times dealing with AVCHD files that I have literally given up. I have started to use Adobe Premiere and thus far that has been stable (although it has its own maddening quirks).
I have probably sent 20+ crash reports to Apple in the past 2-3 weeks. What a shame!

My biggest problem with FCPX is that it always, and I mean *always* crashes on me. I capture long runs (2 hours) of video, but it seems singularly unable to deal with clips 20+ minutes long. 10 minute clips it seems to handle.
Some of the crashes are due to just blocking on some semaphore that’s never coming back (system is basically idle, but FCPX has the spinning beach ball). Some of the crashes are due to the fact that FCPX has made some fatally stupid decision to render something that (a) I didn’t ask for, and (b) won’t help me at all. Yesterday I clicked on a cancel dialog box, and it spent two hours saying it was preparing to cancel the operation. It never happened, so I had to terminate it.
I figured that was my signal to look at Adobe Premiere, and thus far Adobe hasn’t crashed (though it has other maddening quirks). But I honestly cannot understand how FCPX became a tool of choice for anybody doing medium to long-format video work.
