Only for info (You always know): Multi Viewer / Multi Camera / Mixer Viewer, works fine with or without Proxy, in the same manner. And you can toggle between two mode, if you needed. |

No problem Phyllis, I am currently editing two multi-camera show projects and I will produce them one after the other. The first project is based on old DV tapes, my computer is powerful enough that I don't need to use proxies. The second project will be in HD, so I may use proxies at that time. In any case, I would have the opportunity to test this mixer system and give you my observations. It will also give me the opportunity to experiment with the Shuttle in real life and see if we can still improve its basic configurations. |

Pierre: Glad you got your mixer viewers restored. We have been discussing the "z" problem here and realize it needs a "commit" in order to get a "redo" so that the windows can be more easily restored. Originally the multi-camera mode was added by request of Frederic in October 2017 and at the time it was initially tested for fun and not as in-depth as probably needed. It usually takes serious usage to get any design flaws removed so now is a good time to bring up any issues for improvement. So we need someone who actually makes real use of the multi-camera mode to let us know what needs work. For examples: The reason Proxy code has been improved is because IgorB uses it and relays suggestions for changes. The reason the ShuttlePro is working is because you use it and relay the problems to us. The reason groups, cut/paste, dragging, etc. are in the code now is because Sam kept telling us to put it in and tested it. We need this same kind of feedback. But for now, I will fix up the documentation to be clearer today. |

Thank you Phyllis, thanks to your explanations I managed to restore the display of my mixers. I had some difficulty understanding the procedure, but I succeeded. I hadn't yet had to edit a multi-camera shoot and therefore try everything related to the new mixers and multi-screens options. However, I find it very problematic that we can make the mixers' display screens and their associations with the tracks disappear, by a simple "z" command too much... Command "z" does not make it possible to make the Viewer or compositor disappear and I find that this command "z" should not make it possible to make the mixer screens and their initial associations with the tracks disappear once they have been established from the sources. IgorBeg Thanks for the link to your video, I had already seen it and it will be very useful to me when I explore the use of proxy with mixers. |

In add to that Phyllis said, if it may help you, look at the Demo https://streamable.com/c40ia (Focus from time 2m15s) Andrea_paz also added it in the Forum, in the "Learn-> Tutorial" section. |

Here are some words but I am still working on this and will update tomorrow. mixer_recovery.pdf (23,338 bytes) |

Here is the video to recover your mixer window. If you make a mistake, you can just close a mixer window and do it over. I will add some wording here in awhile. https://streamable.com/34pkj What is not shown is the LMB (left mouse click) to highlight the mixer viewer window that is being worked on. And you can either individually click on the right facing arrow to get to the second line in the track's patchbay or Shift-click to turn all on at once. |

I am working on a video capture. Last night when gg showed me, it worked but I am having trouble correctly reproducing too. Stay tuned. |

Unfortunately Phyllis, I don't understand the procedure at all. Maybe it's because of the French terms in my Cinelerra-GG, I can't identify the terms you use. What is patchbay and expander? Maybe if you could make a video capture of the procedure, it would be easier to understand. |

This is definitely a hazard but all is not lost. I must document this for future use. Before doing the following, I would make a copy of my current XML project in case you make a mistake. 1) load the timeline restored from your saved project with the missing mixer viewers 2) use the Window pulldown and click on "Mixer Viewer"; now you will see an empty Mixer Viewer 1 window 3) now you have to associate the original track with mixer 0000001 using the patchbay for each track using the expander... So expand all of your patchbays (shift-click on the top expander which expands all of the tracks). The expander is the right facing arrow on the right side of the patchbay window. VERY IMPORTANT to now be sure to highlight the mixer window you opened in 0000002 (which bar will surround the insider of that) 4) Find the Mixer Viewer 0000001 in your patchbay and click on the lower right facing arrow which has a tooltip of Mixer. You will see that media show up in the empty Mixer Viewer of step # 2 above. And the right facing arrow now points up. Repeat for each Mixer Viewer, that is: - Window pulldown, Mixer Viewer choice for Mixer 0000002 - Highlight this new mixer window - Find mixer viewer 0000002 in patchbay, click on lower right facing arrow and association is complete. - Window pulldown, Mixer Viewer Choice for Mixer 0000003 - highlight this new mixer window - Find mixer viewer 0000003 in patchbay, click on lower right facing arrow and association is complete. Use Window pulldown choice "Tile Mixers" to get the mixer windows nicely lined up. |
