    Hi all-

    A producer here with a FCP/software question… I’m prepping a (5) cam live show and curious to know if there’s a way with FCP to group the isos to playing back in the edit so the director can ‘live switch’ with our editor in post rather than on the day.

    Thanks in advance!

    Use FCP’s Multicam feature.

    Getting it working can be a bit of a pain, but once sorted it’s a joy. You go through the show as live and cut where you wish. Then you can go through again and add, move or remove the cuts you made the first time till you’re happy. You can then use the multiclip sequence with other bits and pieces like supers and graphics till it’s complete.

    Hey Tally! Good to see you at the Cow. Saw one of your pix from last Sunday… Very cool, as was the show open.
