Multiclip Workflow and Audio
I’m working on a 3 camera project and the problem is in the audio. 1 camera has a wireless mic and the other 2 cameras are used for general sound. I’ve come up with this workflow and was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.
Multiclip Workflow
1. Create in points of 3 cameras for multiclip in a sequence V1, V2, V3 and drag back to a bin in browser.
2. Create multiclip Sequence from that bin
3. Place the Multiclip Sequence in the timeline @ V4 above the 3 cameras in V1, V2, V3 without audio
4. Select the shots fm Multiclip
5. Trim edit the shots and delete dead space
6. Send the audio to Multitrack for Mixing
7. Finish up with Titles, Effects, Transitions etc.Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

You’re on the right track. With only three tracks, though, you could save the trip to STP and mix your audio in FCP. I recently did a 6 camera multiclip with 24 tracks of audio completely in FCP.

I’ve done many multicam shows, FCP and AVID, and maybe I’m missing something
but why are you going through all that V1, 2, 3 stuff? Make multiclips from
timecode or in or out points. Then drag the multiclip you want to use to a sequence.
You tell FCP to use whichever audio you want from which ever
camera you want, if it’s cam 1, fine. Cut live or stop and pick. Done.
If you want to add wild audio from those cameras, match frame and add it to A2 or A3 or
whatever where needed.
Why are you using 4 video tracks for a multicam edit. We don’t need to do that since FCP5.Dan

I think he’s laying the 3 master clips out on the timeline to sync them up, then creating the multiclip. He’s then leaving the audio in the timeline to mix between.

I guess I was missing something 🙂
Wouldn’t be the first time.Dan

Yes, I have some parts of audio that are bad on the two cameras that have the general audio and the one camera that has the Lav. That way I can mix the audio when I’m through triming.
