Multi Camera – Five Videos

[Jon Barrie]

I’m actually working on a video tutorial that shows how you can use more than 4 clips – so stay tuned to the cow. Generally most directors/editors know which parts of cam angles are actually good enough to use. In a way you would never have more than a top 4 shots to choose from when you only will only show one. Setup the MC setup seq with a seq per cam. each actual cam seq has the clip in it. Then decide which of the 4 clips you have would not be competing for that 5th clips spot. You probably already know where you really want to use this shot. Lay inside one of the camera seqs and put it on another track then trim it in the timeline to keep its sync and your know using more than 4 shots with a choice of 4. It does seem like a lot of work, but its actually not really. And knowing your footage better means you make better choices. If this seemed a little hard to understand I’ll be posting a tutorial by end of week.

Hi Jon,

Thanks. I kind of get the idea. But I am sure the tutorial will help. Looking forward to the same.
