Multi-Cam Feature in FCP 5?
Greetings all,
Just getting in FCP from years with Avid and Media100.
I’m not at my machine, but am wondering, does FCP have a “multi-cam” feature that will allow me to have several tapes w/identical timecode captured into FCP, and then easily select between the cameras on the timeline.
Avid has a feature that switches between cameras (tapes!) with a single keystroke.
Thanks for considering,
Tim Scarpino

Positive.
See the movie about FCP multicam feature here:

(the web page layout is garbled as this is a quasi-direct link to the movie file)Hope this helps.
Best regards

Yes, FCP 5 has a Multicam feature. Up to 9 angles I believe.

It’s up to 16 angles 🙂
Doesn’t matter, anyway. Even 4 angles playing at the same time are getting hard to handle. At least for me.Ken Stone has a nice review of FCP 5’s new features by Steve Martin, including Multicam.

Best regards, Oliver

Actually you can multicam sync 128 angels, but can view only 16 at a time. The faster your drives, the more streams of RT you’ll get. Also, resolution affests RT playback. You won’t get as many uncompressed HD streams as you will DV streams.
