Can I color correct master source clip after multicam?

[Walter Biscardi]

I haven’t used Multicam yet, so I’m not sure on the original source clip thing.

but if you can’t do that, you can simply apply the CC to the first instace of that source in your timeline. Then do a “Copy” command. Then select all the other shots from that source, control+click and from the drop down menu select “Paste Attributes” then select Filters from the next window.

That will apply the same CC filter from your first shot to all the rest.

Thanks Walter,

That is what I have been doing so far, but there must be an easier way to Color Correct in multicam mode! Avid has a great color correction mode for multicam, I hope Apple adds something like it in the future.

I’m in the same boat as you buddy, and i believe we may have shot ourselves in the foot. One of the things I did try though was to color correct one of the angles, copy it in the timeline, then select the same angle where ever it appeared throughout the sequence and paste attributes (a window will pop-up, check the “filters” box) onto all the selected clips in one shot. Whatever color correcting changes were made on the first clip will paste onto all the clips that were selected. I tried correcting the source clip and didn’t see the changes in the sequence, so i think this might be the best way.

Well, one thing I do when I have a lot of clips, is simply select every clip that needs to use the filter and do the Paste Attributes one time.

“find all” is your friend if you aren’t using it already.

You might look at XM|Edit’s Traffic (www.xmedit.com). They are node based and one of the nodes is a filter copy/paste function. You can set clip trigger parameters, which means that you can apply a specified filter to all clips in the timeline with the criteria you define. It’s XML in and out and works quickly and easily. Might be worth trying for this situation.

I ran a test with XM|Edit’s Traffic tonight and it does exactly what you want, which is to paste CC filters on all clips with a given name, such as Cam 1. One caveat is that it doesn’t seem to work with the Apple XML output from a multi-clip sequence. When I exported using the Automatic Duck XML export instead, it worked correctly.
