I found that when multicam enabled, only the first track comes over. When I’m done mixing the 2 audio tracks in the source sequence all I have to do is ‘un’ enable multicam in the multicam sequence and export the movie. both tracks are there mixed as I wanted. Didn’t render first.

Sorry, ignore the original question….after seeming like a positively reviewed company, I found alot of other evidence it was blantantly bait and switch and criminal.
What is a good price for the camera and where?
thanks,
Jack

sorry forgot to mention that first the video was converted in replay convertor to 200kb/sec avi (mpeg4)before movie maker. I’m not worried about improving quality, just minimizing degradation during the final form and projection presentation.

Thaks,

I will try that. In the mean time I downloaded the xvid codec. I exported movie as dv ntsc with the same setting as the project and no recompress. Theres some unsharp mask and levels added. Then in virtualdub I compressed to 320×240 and used xvid 2pass vbr.
Its up at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkQL-NfPHX0 as well as another dance from the same nite at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wsa09CZZ6I .

To be clear…it is better to uncompress to dv (I assume as long as the settings are all the same as capture project and the ‘recompress’ is unchecked, then I have uncompressed dv?) I just used the dv ntsc that was in premiere and it opened in virtualdub. I see a mainconcept dv codec there as well. If exporting to qt, after installing, will there just be an option to export there ‘uncompressed’?

Also, If I’m going to author a dvd (a separate question) in encore is it better to again export uncompressed dv and pull it into encore or pick adobe media encode and choose mpeg2 (dvd) from the subsequent drop down. (Exporting direct to encore crashes premiere for me). I think I’m asking which program has better mpeg2 compression unless there’s more to it.

BTW, spooky movie. poor Cindy ;).

Thank you for your response and lead. I don’t know what happened to that link, but the proper one is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HihGzNQLdDo (although I want to get a multicam edited one up soon)

I finally figured out how to do it. I didn’t get at first that you drag the sequence containing the synched clips to a new sequence to do the multicam. It works great.I love the ability to simply select a segment and right click to change it to another cam. Also, while listening just hearing the beat you want to change scenes on and tapping the spacebar and doing a rolling edit that stops right where you are is nice. I replaced the sound track with the ripped cd one. Have to remember to unlink my audio before multicaming so don’t have to remember to do it each time I switch a cam after the multicam edit. Ill look at the podcast reference you sent.

A couple of questions:

1) what’s the best compression and settings for the best quality and compatibility for Youtube video sharing sites. It was relatively poor quality to begin with and got more blurry after compressing it (wmv ~500 for download). I tried xivd 4.5divx 2pass but it got rediculously pixelated. Maybe the setting aren’t right? Not sure if relevant but I realized that premiere pro defaulted to 48k for the audio. Is 32k better to work with? my ripped music was that. does it even matter? I will probably make a dvd for each of the kids ultimately, BUT youtube is what I primarily want to share with family and friends.

2) I’m thinking of upgrading my machine. Currently I have an AMD 64 3000+ (winxpsp2) with 1 gig of ddr400 mem. my vid card is nvidia quadro fx 3000 and about 4 hd, 2 of which are satas. The monitors are dvi, an apple 30″ and dell 24″ dual setup. I’m thinking from a practical and cost standpoint that changing the mb and processor alone would bring me up to speed. I was thinking for <$500 I might be able to make a huge difference with a diy upgrade. thanks, Jack

ok…i figured this out..What an amazing tool. I have a multicam sequence now, synched by audio marks and can multicam monitor. So now, other than the obvious play and pick cams along the way, Is there a strategy or way of approaching 7 cams views of this dance. If you want to see a quick 1 view shot of it I put on youtube it’s at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU6ojtBW0Qo . (Its a cheap trv19 sony, a poor low light performer in a low light situation, so its terrible quality (embarrased newbie 😐 ). I shot some of the takes closer, no wide angle and zoom on some faces and on and off with nite vision. The wide angle was done by duct taping on a small wide angle lens from an old nikon dig cam.) My daughter choreographed it so she’ll appreciate it anyway. Thanks for the education

thank you. that worked fine. Now I have a bin with 7 variations of the same dance as separate subclips. I put them all on a time line (vid1) but multicam is greyed out? When I put a few overlapping on vid 1 and 2, its still greyed out. Do they have to be synched first? Do they each have to be converted to “master clips” in the edit subclip? Also, I have 7 subclips. multicam will allow up to 4. Guess I have to do 4 and then the other 3 with the new clip created from the first 4?, right?

thanks,
Jack

Thanks. So basically clicking the button to a new menu plays the made movie of one menu transitioning to the next and then the end action is to leave you at the new menu. Is that the correct process? If so is there some settings that will make the movie end and the next menu appear seamless?
