Cross Fade in MultiCam
Is there a way to do a cross fade/disolve when you are using the multicam feature If so, how is it done.

Hold down the control key while selecting your camera
will create a crossfade instead of a cut.Regards, Rick.

Will it change the length on the audio timeline. Also when dragging a clip, say to the right, how do you get the audio and video tracks to move together. I had some problems with that tonight. Don’t remember having that problem before.

The new audio length should match the new video length. Unless the events have been ungrouped, they should move together. There are multiple ways to move multiple events. You can use the event selection tool to select a group of events and then move them all at once.
Personally, I use a script to select the group of events to be moved. That way I can easily select “all events after the cursor on all tracks”, for example.

A couple of other questions, sorry! If I am using multicam and want to cut & crossfade both sets of tracks (2 cams), how is this done? Do I go to “select all”, and then cut and crossfade? Also if I use Escalibur, is there a way to put all the clips of camera #1 as 1 camera entry? I have about 6 clips for camera #1, and 1 clip for camera #2. When I followed the directtions it told me to add the clips for each camera. This ended up in me having 7 sets of tracks instead of just two.

Take a look at Vol 1 #9 of my newsletters. It gives several manual methods of doing multi-cam.
Using either the new multi-cam in Vegas 8 or Excalibur, you can have ALL of camera 1 on a single track. Just leave gaps where the camera was turned off. You don’t need a new track for each new segment.

I was wondering, I have used the multicam tool, but I only did straight cut. Is it possible to transform all of them into crossfade without disturbing the audio?
Thanks!

Go to any cut and press / on the numeric keypad. You can then move to the next cut using ALT-Right Arrow (twice) at which time you can press “/” again.
It *can* be done via a script as well.

Thanks!
p.s. Your are the script king! 😉

But I don’t have one that does that particular task – at least not “en masse”. It CAN be done, and I do it in my multi-cam script but I do it during processing the camera switches – not after the fact. My normal “overlap” script will create the dissolves but doesn’t lengthen the events.
