  • How go back as single event after multicam edit

    Posted by Phani Mahavrathayajula on April 15, 2012 at 5:19 pm

    I have run a multicam edit with two camera views in vegas pro. After the edit, I have got multiple edit points. Now, I decided to redo the multi cam edit. I can pick and choose each edit point, right click and change the “Take” and choose whatever take I want. But, that is not what I want.

    Here is what is happening. Select all the 50 edit point events and change them to say view1 (Take1). Now, I want to run multi cam edit again. When I run, the view is getting automatically focussed to earlier take. Instead, how do I get it as a single clip with one take? In other words, is there a way how to get rid of all the edit points on the multi cam edited track?

    If you are using Vegas Pro 11, you can do this. Not on earlier versions.

    From the online help (Multicamera Editing – Overview)

    Vegas Pro can expand a multicamera track to multiple component tracks.

    Select a multicamera track in the track list.

    From the Tools menu, choose Multicamera, and then choose Expand to Multiple Tracks from the submenu.

    You are prompted to either keep unused takes as muted events or delete them. If you keep unused takes as muted events, you can recreate your multicamera track later. Click Yes to keep unused takes or No to delete them.

    If you plan to do a lot of multicam work in Vegas, you should look at Vasst Ultimate S Pro tools. It gives you the flexibility you are seeking.

    My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 10e (x32/x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

    Yeah, you can’t in Vegas 11 itself. That’s why I always “save as” and create a new project when I’m ready to begin multicam editing.

    Unless I really misread the OP, Vegas 11 can do this.

    I always copy then mute the tracks before making a multicam track.
