  • New to AVID Multicam?

    Posted by Ryan Kovack on October 3, 2012 at 2:05 pm

    Hello all,

    Hopefully a simple question, but being new to Avid (Media Composer 6) and lacking time to explore it on my own I’m finding myself stuck on a multicam issue.

    I came from FCP, editing scripted television and I’m wondering if and how to work with multicam in this environment (ie multiple takes/angles of a two-camera scene that all need to go into one sequence).

    Everything I’ve seen online seems great for interviews/music videos, but not so much for what I’m doing.

    Short question is – can I work with mutlicam/grouped shots without having to cut them into a sequence first?

    Any help/tips/advice/threats would be appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    RK

    I guess it comes down to what your definition of working with grouped shot is… You can load a group clip, and view the source as a 4 way or 9 way…

    Thanks Michael,

    That sent me in the proper direction. I’m on the right page now.
