I am editing a multiclip video in FCP 7 but it doesn't let me play all the angles. Once I press Play (Space bar or L key) it just doesn't play in the Viewer monitor. It only plays in the Canvas. Once I stop playing, it updates in the Viewer but I cannot play continuously. Therefore I cannot cut the multi clip. This are the steps I followed:
1) Select IN points in the 3 different clips (Dif. Camera angles)
2) Select them all and create Make Multiclip
3) Splice it in the timeline and double click it.
4) Select "Open" in both Viewer and Canvas
5) Click on the timeline again and play.
This is what I've tried so far:
- Adding the multicilp button bar
- Select the multiclip in the timeline and press "open" several times
- Select View>External Video>Show multiclip angles
- Deleting the render files (even if there aren't many, since I couldn't start editing yet)
Any ideas?
Video Specifications:
Original Video: Captured with PS2 Cameras

I have edited a lot of multiclips in the past with FCP7 and I only had the same trouble only after rendering the clips but this is the first time that I can't even start editing.
Thank you.
