Q: FCPX Red Raw Color Adjust in RedCineX on Multicam Clips Freezes System
Hey People!
So I have a locked cut and am adjusting the red raw files in REDCINE X before I prep it for final color. Everything has been updating instantaneously in FCPX. I'm working on a music video, and used multicam clips for the band portion, that I further broke down into compound clips. When I went to adjust the raw information in REDCINE X on one of those compound/multicam clips, and toggled back into FCPX, I got the spinning wheel of beachball death. I immediately undid my changes in REDCINE X, but FCPX still did not respond. I force quit after waiting awhile, and now I cannot open FCPX without the spinning wheel. I've tried shutting my system down, etc, it's stuck.
Can I delete the RMD? Will that give me the same problem that I'm currently having? I understand that FCPX is trying to adjust the raw data to every location that file exists, and since its inside a compound clip inside a multicam clip, that its telling me that's too big an ask for my system. I see that, and I do not mind taking a full day out and removing all of my multicam clips and replacing them with the original file, but I need FCPX to open properly so I can do so? Anyone have any suggestions?
**Just a note, I really do wish FCPX would allow you to flatten a multicam clip, and after shooting with such hefty files and so many band angles that have taxed my system considerably, which is why I tried to turn them into compound clips, I would rather take the extra time in the beginning of my edit, to not ever use multicam clips again. I would be so appreciative if Apple made the possibility to flatten a multicam clip to 1 camera angle, just as the audition feature allows.**
