  Multicam Question

  Posted by Craig Flood on November 27, 2012 at 12:08 am

  Hey Everybody

  Here’s the question:

  In FCP 7 when I would sink up audio & multiple shots I would put Camera 1 and all its shots on track 1 and then so on & so on… then I would drop the audio and have Plural eyes do the work.

  But….

  When using FCPX.. there are no tracks to organize multiple clips on. I highlight all the clips in the bin along with the audio and create a multi-cam clip.

  For example, during the event because of the 12min recording time on my Canon I have to start and restart multiple times. Which gives me multiple clips from each camera.

  
  Attatched is a picture of what FCPX does with that.*
  (* you are see about half the tracks it made, there are more above what you see)

  Is there a way to tell FCPX that all those different clips are from the same camera so it only make 3 video tracks and 1 audio ?

  Thanks

  Craig

  You assign the correct angle number to the clips from the same camera. Do this before you make the multicam clip.

  All the best,

  Tom
