Multicam Workflow
I just started working with multicam in FCP on a regular basis and I am looking for some workflow tips. Here’s my current strategy:
1) Log footage from first angle –> capture
2) Copy and paste footage into Cam 2 bin –> select all –> make offline –> modify name (add “Cam 2”), reel number, angle –> recaptureTwo problems I’ve encountered are during the logging process.
1) After typing “1” in the angle and logging a clip, if forces me to re-enter this info every time. Should I always have to re-enter the angle?…is this a bug?
My workaround, manually typing in the extension Cam1,2,3 on each angle (after capturing first camera angle) on each clip so FCP will let me recapture new angles. What I like about Avid is it will automatically add a .01 to the copied clips and on top of that, it will let you modify the reel, angle, etc… before capturing.All of these extra steps I am taking in FCP leads me to believe I am missing something. Any suggestions or helpful links for logging and capturing multiclip footage in FCP are greatly appreciated.

All I do is log & Capture reel one and name the clip “Camera 1″, then Log & Capture reel two and name that clip” Camera 2.” Then I mark an in-point on each clip, “Make Multiclip” and I’m good to go.
