    Hi
    I’m trying to multicam about 6 large quicktimes. I’ve got a pretty top notch PC and am running Avid Media Composer (but with no adrenaline). After importing and group clipping my system gets a bit sluggish when I go to the multicam tool and there are a few second delays between commands. Could anyone reccomend anything to get the system speeding up a little? If I import the qtimes at a lower res how can I ‘batch capture’ back to the full res stuff later
    (please excuse my lame ‘terminolgy’ I know you cant batch capture qtimes but I am very hung over!)
    Cheers

    You can batch capture imported clips!
    Do a small test, import a QT, edit a simple sequence, delete the media from the master clip, select it, select ‘batch import’ from the menu, import.
    If you need, select your sequence and choose ‘relink’.
    Should work like a charm, and smaller files make multicam a little snappier.
