  Vegas 8 multicamera editing

  Posted by Richard Swain on January 10, 2008 at 3:52 pm

  Hi All
  I have am using the multi-camera feature of Vegas 8. I think it works great, however there are two things which bother me – the first is that any filters you put on the original video are lost when the multi-camera editing is enabled. The work-around isn’t too bad – fix the video track, render then use the rendered video to do the multi-camera cuts. The second is more of a problem. When the multi-camera is enabled, everything gets condensed to the “resultant” track e.g. the selected camera is the only view you have into the future. So when you make a cut to a new camera, you don’t know what you are cutting into. Anyone have any thoughts about this?
  Thanks!

  This is exactly why Ultimate S, Excalibur, and infinitiCAM are still preferable for multicam use by many people.

  OK, so Ive done the multicam edit, but now I want to add some superimposed clips, using masks.
  Fortunately, I copied all of the main tracks before I selected the original tracks for multicam, so I can see what’s there.
  question is: do I need to copy the “spare” tracks to a track above the multicam track, and use this to generate masks?

  I’ve done a little bit of this but don’t seem to be able to create a mask. What could I be doing wrong?
