3 Camera Shoot

[First Last]

Not sure if those cameras have this feature, but setting the camera’s TIMECODE to FREE RUN and syncing them once at the beginning, even if it’s all the cameras pointed at someone clapping, will make changing tapes and editing simpler. And make sure all your camera’s are recording sound.

>>you mean keep at least one camera running….in other words stagger the reload times, right?<< Sorry for the late response, but you have it right. Stagger. If so, you'll need at least two house audio feeds running to two cameras you can stagger the audio to as well, otherwise you'll have to be a bit creative with your audio mix. Been there, done that too.:-) It's actually not hideous if you can sync and blend for a good amount of time. If you need to sync disparate audio, and you an run VST plug-ins on your audio (video) editor, check out the Phase Bug: https://www.betabugsaudio.com/plugs.php

Scroll down to the bottom and get the Phase Bug (and anything else you think you might like/need). This freebie can be a life-saver when syncing audio from multiple cameras (or other multiple audio sources).
