My Multicam Project Has Vanished

PostWed Dec 07, 2022 3:06 pm

Hi,

Please can somebody help.

I've just spent three days working on a job, editing video from two different angles as part of a multicam workflow. In the timeline sidebar it said, Angle 1, Angle 2 etc. I repeatedly saved the project.

Just now I just closed Davinci Resolve and then reopened it, but the project is no longer in the timeline. There is a file that says Timeline 1 in the project Bin, and there are Stills from both Angles in the viewer, but when I drag Timeline 1 onto the timeline, it is just a short clip. The bin with the clips is still there...

In the Timeline Sidebar it no longer says Angle 1 etc; it just says Video 2, Video 1.

Can anyone please tell me what might have gone wrong here?

Thank you.

Your description of the issue, the misuse of proper terminology, makes me think Operator Error.

Have you completed any of the training yet?

Hi Jim,

My apologies. You are absolutely right. I right clicked on 'Multicam' (open in Timeline) and I have it back! :D
Thank you.

Good news! :)

However, it still sounds like you might be going about things incorrectly, so...don't skip that training. ;)
