Multiclips sending out too many channels

Hi Graeme,
Could you also check that the disabled portions are not sent with the "Discard disabled clips" option checked ?

PS : in a multicam clip with multitrack audios

Thanks a lot and good luck for the fix !

Thank you for reporting this. You are right, this is a known bug that doesn't affect "normal" clips but does affect multicam clips. We are planning to fix this, but I'm can't say how long it will take to fix because it's not an easy fix.

Hi,

I have attempted to send out a multiclip timeline with channels turned off in the inspector. All channels are still exported to the AAF.

I think this is sometimes a good thing - you'd want to send all channels to the mixer. But other times not.

If this is implemented, perhaps there should be a checkbox to ask the user if they wish to discard the multiclip/multichannel audio that is turned off in the inspector.

Sidenote- getting lots of crashing from Logic X on import. Got an error message about this file: libcom-api.dylib. Looked in my plugin folder and couldn't find it. Was able to work around this by adding the media drives into X2Pro.

Audio levels should be put into the AAF as clip gain and/or automation gain. If the adjustment is made to the whole clip then it will be applied as clip gain, but if it is made using keyframes, it will be applied as automation gain.

If there is more than one lot of audio level adjustment applied to a clip (e.g. by applying adjustments to a compound clip and to the individual clips contained within it) the right adjustments will be calculated by X2Pro

Hi, that's great news. How about audio levels. Do they also transfer over?

How does it translate to the AAF if you have keyframed audio levels on the individual components - and then you also keyframe the master clip when the components are hidden?

Hi,

We believe we have resolved this issue now in the code and the fix for this will be included in the next release of X2Pro.

Yours Sincerely

I can see what you mean. I have passed this on teh a developer to look at. I'll keep you updated.

Hi,

So I'm having a bit of the opposite problem as before. I have two clips and a multiclip in a timeline. All three clips have only one channel active (1 out of 8).

When imported into logic, the 2 clips show the correct active channel. However, the multiclip shows all 8 channels. It seems that X2Pro disregards channels that are turned off only in multiclips.

Here's the XML. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
