  • How to edit three music tracks without using multicam editing

    Posted by Siobhan Taylor on July 4, 2017 at 11:46 am

    Hi,

    I have three video tracks to edit (three different camera angles). My computer is dropping frames and it’s impossible to edit with multicam, even using proxy and optimised media.

    What is the easiest way to edit the three tracks ie switching camera angles?

    Thanks in advance.

    After answering Noah’s question, please read up on using “proxy” footage.

    You could try this. Stack your footage on top of one another. Turn on clip skimming. You can now skim each clip when your pointer is over each angle. That way you can see the footage of each angle. Cut away the footage as you edit. Or get a faster computer.
