Multicam Clip - all black except one clip

I'm trying to create a multicam clip out of three clips and when I do only one of the clips shows in the angle viewer - the rest are black. I'm using proxy media, but this was the same before I transcoded the clips to proxy.

Mac Pro, macOS 10.12

Multicam clip sync problem I stumble into a problem when a multicam clip appears higher in pitch and plays faster (as if it's in a different sample rate), but the sample rate is the same of the project and clips – 48kHz. When you go inside the multicam clip audio appears just as it should. How to solve this?

FCPX 10.4.7 'multicam' doing weird things? Three cameras. One audio. Highlight them all in Browser. Create 'multicam' clip. But the clips are not syncing with the audio. They are strung in a chronological line, not stacked. And on the first try FCPX automatically created 'Optimized' versions of the clips -- even though I didn't ask for them. There was already a 'Proxy' version of the clips. Never seen this before. I've tried four or five times ... and the clips won't sync as a multicam properly. The camera audio on all three clips is solid, and high enough level, so there shouldn't be an issue there. The master audio has very good levels. What might be happening here?

Double click the Multicam clip to open it in the timeline. Post a screenshot. Did you set camera angles for each camera before you made the multicam?

Thank you, I hadn't given the camera angles a name in the inspector for each clip, prior to creating the multicam clip.
