Of course not 🙂 But I will try that too. Thanks!

Thank you, I will definately try that.

[danrnw] “You will love FCP5 for multicam based on your present workflow.
I’ve been doing multicam shows for 20 years and for 10 with
the AVID. Apple did a nice implementation of multicam editing
with FCP5 but of course it could and will get better.

You can make multiclips from in point, out point or timecode.
When you capture, in the angle box in the capture window,
put 1,2, or 3 to tell FCP which camera is which. Then after capture
all you do is put an in point on each of your clips when the
strobe hits. Then highlight the three clips (camera angles)
in the browser.
Then go to modify-make multiclip.
If you have multiple takes FCP makes it very easy to make
many multiclips at once, all automatically. Highlight all your
captured clips and use ‘make multiclip sequences’ for that. And uncheck the
make a complete sequence of all the clips, unless you
find that useful.

FCP’s implimentation of multicam is very similar to AVID
and in some ways faster and in some ways more cumbersome.
But in your case, I think you will love it.
