fcp multicam editing - switching angle problem
I have this overwhelming issue with fcp multicam editing.
For some reason or other, when I try to switch camera angles, the in/out points change position. Intead of going to the different angle in the viewer, the entire clip changes. if I just keep switching angles on the same clip, eventually the in/out points will reach the start of the timeline. I have spent hours on this multiclip and now its looking like I might have to redo it. I just can't figure it out. It was working just great yesterday but now it does something completely different. I have the viewer set to "open" and I have looked at just about every setting. I restarted the app but it does the same thing. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? |

I had to set-up the keyboard specially for multi-cam switching so I could remember the right keys for switching not just changing the base camera. Check it out, it might be the fix that'll help.

Going back to the original sequence, it still has the same problem, even if I use the keyboard to switch or cut between angles. I like to click the monitor which may be the noob way but I like it for some reason. It really is strange, the switch function does switch to the other angle but it does so at a different in/out point. Like I said before, if I just keep switching back and forth between angles, eventually the in/out points reach the start of the timeline. I think it is selecting different pieces in the multiclip where I made cuts. I am sure some fcp pro knows whats going on. I have about 30 hours of xp so far with fcp and I am absolutly stumped as to what changed this multiclip. I am just worried about having this sort of thing happen again. I hate having to redo everything. |

I had the exact same problem you are having when I first tried out multicam a few months ago. My footage was only about 2 hours long, but after spending 10 hours or so setting up multicam (I didn't have timecode that matched or anything to easily sync the clips). I had 3 camera angles and one separate audio source.
I never did figure out why it bombed out, but re-creating the sequene fixed it perfectly. Are you using the new 5.1 version of FCP? When I first used it I was still using FCP 5.0, and I haven't had a need for it since I did the crossgrade install. Maybe it's a bug of 5.0?? |

Like you, I didn't have matching time code either, I had to do it all manually. I have fcp 5.1 with all the updates. I just bought it about a week or so ago with my mac pro. So far, except for that original multiclip, everything is working great. Hopefully, it stays that way. |
