Multi-screening in FCP
Hi all,
I want to include a multi-screen shot in my next edit, ideally containing dozens of boxes each running their own bit of vt. I’ll be doing this on a macbook pro 2.6Ghz so I’m expecting to encounter some serious ram issues. Can anyone recommend a way to cheat around it? What might be an idea is to have say, 12 or so unique bits of footage then double them and double them again until the whole screen is filled. If anyone can decipher what I’m on about and recommend a way forward I’d be most grateful! I have a working but by no means in depth knowledge of Motion and After Effects if you think what I’m trying to achieve might be better suited to either of those.
Cheers,
Neil -

it would be a RAM issue as much hard drive through put issue for playback. You will be trying to pull 12 streams of video through it. Once you render it it will be fine. Once you get a couple of boxes set the way you want then disable the clip move on to the next couple get them set, disable them and… when you have all of them set enable all of them render and you will be able to play them back.
This would probably be easier to do in Motion, I know enough of Motion to do DVD menus and if you just read a little of the manual you can pick this type of thing up quickly.
