To sum up the reason why I am so frustrated over this is because as a professional editor, I don't appreciate someone telling me that something is supposed to be a certain way on purpose, when it is most definitely wrong! The Emporer is naked. You can't tell me that this behavior is correct for ANY timeline, not just multicam. I say again, if the normal timeline created an edit every time you stopped playback, people would be screaming bloody murder until something was done.
You can't tell me blue is red and expect me to concede. Don't insult my professional intelligence by saying this is appropriate behavior for the software. And I also would like to see even ONE pro editor try to use multicam and tell me it behaves as it should, or that the behavior is preferred for any long form edit.
Why ARE we going around and around about this? Why can't Adobe admit this fault? Is there a legal issue behind this somehow? Are we not getting the full story? Why is it so hard to call this a bug? Why continue to provide excuses and arguments instead of addressing this issue head on?
Don't just give the same story again. Tell me why the normal timeline doesn't create an edit when the playback stops and multicam does, along with changing back to the first angle before playback began. Explain the reasoning, and maybe I can somehow understand. Was this behavior on the advice of a pro editor? Who, and why?
The level of frustration over this is huge, not just because of the problem itself, but because of the way we are being sold down the river by being told it is intentional behavior. What once was just a technical issue has now become ths ridiculous sideshow of back and forth. You have made this issue personal by being so obstinate about it. Maybe a supervisor needs to review this issue. I am furious not over the issue, but from the attitude Adobe has taken toward it's users over it.
