DSLR Mutli-Cam Edit with PluralEyes
Can anyone help a multicam novice with some questions?
I shot a concert with 6 Canon 7Ds at 30p 1080p and have transcoded all my footage to Pro Res 422 at 1080. I am only delivering for a DVD and web use (I may re-transcode to 720). I have synced my footage with plural eyes, but when I try to work with the multi clip, it show a separate window for every clip as opposed to just every track. I think this is because each 12 minute clip from a single camera has a different timecode, no? How do you suggest I sync or merge the clips for multicam editing ease? Also, my multiclip requires a full render before viewing in the sequence, which I don’t think is right.
Thanks in advance!

Recently, the video on this page called “Tips for truly useful multiclips” (under Workflow) helped me a lot with multiclipping my own 7D footage synced with PE:

I followed their advice in the video up to the part where they created the multiclip in PE; instead, I just used my reference movies to create multiclips the normal way in the browser.
Hope this helps –

I don’t yet have experience with DSLR video but i would guess if you put your clips for each angle into their own sequence and then nested all these into a multiclip sequence maybe that would work?
If it doesn’t – sorry for wasting your time!

Got it guys. Thanks.
I ended up muting all other tracks and exporting reference tracks that I then put into a new sequence. I then made a multiclip from those reference tracks and placed the multiclip on top of the original synced files sequence. I set the sync to “open” on the canvas and now can watch all angles live and just switch between them.
Thanks!
