multicam workflows?
Usual intro – trying to edit music video using multicam. 18 camera angles. Shot ex3 and canon 60D – converted both to prores 422. Works fine if I bring 6 angles on to the timeline and edit using the “visible” buttons. Tried doing 6 using 9 up and get the evil mud orange render at the first cut. (Realise this might be too much for my MacbookPro 2.5 Core 2 duo 4gb.) Does anyone have experience with workarounds? Should I use another codec? If I edit using four angles how would I then take that and multicam it with another sequence in which I have done the same? Is there an acceptable way to go? Colour is the next question.

It’d be back tracking, but capturing offline might be the way to go. 18 angles at Pro Res seems like a lot for your computer. Then you can online the final edit and bring that straight into Color. If I had the time to recapture, that’s what I’d do. Otherwise, try turning your render settings down.
Go fly fishing.

The answer is a faster computer and faster HD. I have a ten drive ESATA RAID 0 and I cannot pull 16 streams. The problem is if you use a more compressed codec your drives have an lighter load but the computer’s cpu in taxed more.
Sorry no cheap way to do this.

Thanks gents, tis what I feared.

are you using the lower bitrate ProRes, the new one released with FCP7? if not, you may try that out and see how far you can push it. From what I understood, this was Apple’s offline solution.

Hi…
I’m not doing anything that complicated. I’m shooting with an A1s and 7D. RE: Setup, Capture, and Transcoding. Should I use a ProRes 422 easy setup and capture ProRes 422 then transcode my 7D footage Pro Res…. or use HDV easy setup (firewire) and transcode my 7D footage the same?
Best Almost the New Year Regards
