Hi All,

Just an update and hopefully help someone else someday.

Taking all the advice in, I used the REDrushes to scale the clips down to 720 x 576 (Pal) Quicktime ProRes 422 (LT). Once this process completed, I was able to drag into FCP and Multicam worked like a magic! I have now finish editing something that will usually take me at least 4-5 days in just 1 day thanks to Multicam.

Grading time 🙂

Thank you all for your support, I appreciate it.

Hi Thom,

Thank you again for this nessage, just what I needed to know. Can you PRETTY PLEASE, share abit of light on the offline/online edit process? Am thinking of batching in redrushes a small frame size as i guess it will be quicker to export out then edit those offline. Once completed, i’d relink to the 2k res files. Is this possible? Would the reinking work?

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you Thom and all who contributed, I appreciate it. Thom, I think thats pretty close, I just downloaded the red rushes and am currently in the process of transcoding to Apple Pro Res 422 and downscaled to 1920×1080 as am delivering on HD anyways. Hopefully when that is done in 24 hours time, I can then edit in FCP and fingers crossed, Multicam will have mercy on me for the first time and work!

Will let you all know.

Thanks!

So what do you suggest Shane? I am no way near as experience as you are, I thought I can cheat the system by editing RED proxies then relinking to the full res to save processing power, rendering etc. What workflow can I use to edit the High res file and minimise rendering but able to use multicam editting?

Thank you so much.

Yes, I thought so too so I changed the sequence settings to standard DV pal to allow RT playing and hence, set the “multiclip playback” on but still the same thing. Now my original clips where shot on the RED camera so natively, they are on the REDCODE codec, but am assuming that since I changed my sequence settings to the desired Multicam compatible setting, it should work fine, no?

Fantastic Brian, I was messing about with it and I tried that and it worked already but thanks for your help! I really appreciate it 🙂

Thanks guys! WOW Jonathan, that tutorial seems so perfect, gotta try that out now.. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate all your inputs and will take them one at a time and try them out over night. Will post if there’s any success. Thank you

Thanks a lot… Its actually brain surgery if you are self thought and relatively new to this all. I know you have years and years of experience so its a duddle for you BUT I’ll try wrap my head around your post above in few hours hopefully (converting the example to PAL of course) lol… BTW, we shot on 50fps and am working on a 25fps sequence.

Thanks for you help though, I appreciate it.

What if in my case, the song was at a 120% unlike your which was at 130%? I am currently converting to 24p using Nattress converter 1.5 (They dont have option for 25fps). Once conversion is done, What should I speed my video by? in your case, you sped your to 140% based on the song being at the speed of 120%. Is there some sort of fomular that you used to work this out? or was it just a trial and error? in which case I have to wait for a render each trial…

Thanks a bunch

loool @ selling the DP’s Organ & Body parts… I think I’ll stick with that option :). I have a little luck on my side, LUCKILY, I insisted on shooting a “just in case” take of the same scene though its just one take though but I guess its better than none! I having to rely on that take like a golden egg now 🙂 Lesson Learnt! Next time, I’ll speed the track by 200% Which might make it impossible to sing to by the artist.. hmm

Quick question though, What about this thread?
