P: Multicam Bug: Next/Previous edit doesn't work

I've been dealing with this really annoying bug for years, and today it's driving me crazy -  so i thought i'd ask if anyone else has run into it?

 

Issue: When editing Multicam footage if I make an edit while the CTI is playing (like a Cut, Insert, or Overwrite), the Go To Next/Previous Edit Point commands stop controlling the timeline and instead start switching camera angles in the Program Monitor?! 

 

I've discovered this only happens if the Multi-Cam View is turned on. Each time it happens I have to nudge the CTI to return control to the Timeline. Really annoying.

    ​@IanB_360 Hi. Any update on fixing this bug? I’m editing a multicam job right now on version 26.3.2 (Build 2) and still having issues.

      Yes, that's part of the same thing @Tom_edit. Thought I'd seen a post on this, just couldn't find it.

       

      However, it happens to me with any action in the Timeline - like a cut/overwright/insert/ripple/extend edit - while the CTI is playing.

      Are you by chance explaining this issue? because if so, yeah I really wish it would get fixed too 😞
      there are so many random quirky bugs with multi-cams that the team have been made aware of but aren't on any roadmaps unfortunately

      Correct, blur was just for NDA.

       

      But that’s exactly it, @IanB_360  — I lose control of the Sequence panel and get stuck in the multicam view. It’s not actually switching angles. After experimenting a bit more, I realized that it's showing either the first frame of the clip at the playhead or the first frame of the next clip – depending on whether I'm pressing Previous or Next Edit. However, the CTI doesn’t move in either panel, and there’s no timecode change — just the picture changing. If i hit the right arrow to step forward a frame then the Playhead jumps to the first frame of the next clip and the timeline goes back to normal.

      Hi @DJP2014 
      I assume by timeline loses focus you do not mean it blurs the footage like the screengrab shows. That was just implemented on your part to share with us and still be NDA compliant.
      So what you are describing, if I am correct, is that while playing in MultiCam and making edits, the CTI and Go to Next cut loses the control of the Sequence, and you are now in the multicam view, switching cameras instead of cuts?
      Correct? This might be a known issue. I'll be sure to work on it and get back to you.
