  FCP Multicam & P2 (cross post)

  Posted by Jeremy Garchow on April 4, 2006 at 4:29 pm

  First Multi-cam, first real P2 job. For those of you familiar with Multi-cam, I have a conundrum. I have some P2 clips that have been recorded over both cards which comes in as two clips, what I want to do is merge those clips together without an export and reimport. The other two tapes were shot on SDX900s and are on one consecutive take brought in from tape. Syncing using in points w/clappers (no jam sync).

  So I have:

  Cam A Clip 1 (15 minute continuous clip from tape) SDX900
  Cam B Clip 1 (15 minute continuous clip from tape) SDX900
  Cam C Clip1 & 1a (the timecode is continuous, but multi-cam sees these as two separate clips and stacks them as two different angles, both clips together total 15 minutes)

  Is there a way so that the multi-cam mode can see Cam C clip 1 & 1a as one clip? Something to do with a multi-cam sequence?

  Thanks for any insight.

  Jeremy

  Why not simply make a new clip by placing both on a timeline and export using current settings. Takes a few seconds and will save you a lot of hassle down the line without affecting quality.

  Could you put them in a new sequence and then tell FCP that that sequence is just a subclip?
