This video should have millions of views, haven’t seen such details on Davinci edits anywhere else
Thank you so much for all of your incredibly useful tips. I give you all of my ten thumbs up. Clear precise instructions, you rock Chadwick... Thank you
Wow superb!!! Thanks for showing how to handle the adaptive audio track. Life is much better :)
Back a year later... to me this is hands down the best DR tutorial I've ever seen! I love your speed and that you are tackling something so critical!
Dude, I love your tutorials. You get right to the point and explain things clearly. I just make simple gaming videos but your videos have helped me so much, especially with the speed editor. Thanks and Cheers!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad they've been helpful!
The tip on how to break out the source audio saved me hours of research. Thanks!
Thanks for these DVR Speed Editor panel videos. Very nice work, enjoyable, as well.
Oh my thank you for the grouped audio explanation! Subbed 👌
Thank you for this! Great tutorial, especially the Multicam audio!
You weren't lying! You showed me a BUNCH of new stuff. Thanks for the great upload!
This tutorial gave me so much new information and explanation. Many thanks for that
I was looking for a very specific answer (how to switch the angle rather than cut to it) and you answered that at10:55. Thank you for the in depth tutorial!
Awesome video. Clear and to the point and fun to watch.
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching.
FANTASTIC!! Great information and I needed to know it!! You rock!! Thanks as always for putting great content out in the world!!
You rock! This is great to hear, but thank you for being so encouraging and kind. I really appreciate it. Always reach out in a comment if something is unclear or you have any other issue we can figure out together in Resolve.
Mate - this video saved me. Seriously - well done and thank you
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. This video helped a great deal. Roll & Scroll using the speed editor is a great time saver!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for taking your time to watch.
Thank you very much for this video. I was struggling with multichannel audio and this is game changer for me. You have new subscriber and I look forward for your future videos. Great work!
Glad it helped! This might not be the "by the book" way of dealing with it, but it certainly is what has helped me work with multichannel audio without messing with clip attributes which is not always a great idea.
That's awesome. I was waiting for this sorts of tutorials. Thanks man.....
Thanks for watching! Lots more to come.
I use eye blinks for syncing as well.
*GREAT* tutorial for breaking out audio! I haven't used Multicam in DR because of failed multicam syncs and needing to separate audio, etc., just what I've been looking for! Two thumbs up!!
Love your work mate!
Much appreciated!
Right to the point again! Excellent work and tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Thanks a Lot Chadwick ! This tutorial is super helpful !
Great to hear, You're the best Nicholas!
Perfect video, ill be rewatching this a few times to have it sync in, pun intended. Thank you for posting!! 💪😃
😂 Love it! You have my kind of humor. Thanks for checking it out.
Im learning here, thanks man .
Great tips. I really learn a lot watching your videos.
Thank you Geoff, I appreciate you dude.
Like always - PRO explanation.THX
Thanks again! I appreciate your time to watch and learn.
Hey Chadwick, I got my Speed Editor today, with Studio license. All thanks to your amazing videos! I have learned so much watching your channel, thanks so much :)
Great to hear! Let us know how you're liking it, or what you don't understand.
This vid earned my sub. Nuff said. Cheers.
Thx Chadwick, a big shoutout from Australia. Nice vid mate.
So cool! One day I really hope to visit Australia. Thanks for watching.
seriously the best tutorials on youtube about resolve
Seriously one of the best comments! You're the best Jordan, thank you.
Great tips, thank you!
You bet!
Good tips in there thanks!
You bet! Thanks for watching.
Dude!! - super informative and well laid out as always ..
Much appreciated! Thanks Petur.
Hey Chadwick,
As always, thanks for the great tutorials.
I was wondering how you would setup multicam with multiple microphones that all need to be used in the mix?
Same as you described, just with more tracks?
It was very helpful, thanks :)
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
Great video! Just discovered your channel. You won a new subscriber!
Thanks and welcome
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THAT ADAPTIVE TRACKS THING FOR YEARS!!! OMG. Every I have multicam stuff i would sync without audio but this just solved all my problems
Great one pall!
Thanks for watching ;)
wow - thanks so much for your "multicam multi-chanel audio fix" - i was struggling with that one for a long time
Glad it helped!
This is going to save me so much time. I have never been able to get the auto Audio Sync to work so I just have to go in and line them up . But this seem to be a lot faster and works the first time.
Great to hear. I'm always down for anything that can give me back a few minutes in the day too.
Such a perfect Video Chadwick, your step by step is SO helpful and Valuable. Yes, the speed editor is getting more useful.
I really wish the BT issues would go away on Windows. I constantly plug back into USB to keep the workflow going. Multicam on the Edit page is NOW my new way to get this footage dealt with.
Thank you! As much as I love the act of "painting" angles on, it really disrupts the flow a lot of the time when just a single button press during playback is all you need to change angles. I wonder if the bluetooth issues are related to the specific OS? Also just curious, a day or two after using 17.4 I did get the notice of a firmware update to the speed editor (which loads when its plugged in). Did you get that by chance?
Chadwick that is a good point about the flow interruption. You might be on to something about windows being the trouble, i post about the issue on the BM forum. I ordered a motherboard specific i am hopeful for a change.
BTW your shortcut for the Multicam in source view is a very nice fix 👍
Multichannel source clips in a Multicam has been the main reason I couldn't move over all my edit work to Resolve! I still wish it was easier similar to Premiere, but at least this is a great workaround, albeit with lots of extra clicks. Thanks so much!
yeah this definitely feels like a workaround to me too Myron. I'm hoping that blackmagic will either see this video at some point and make it a priority to simplify or that they're already working on it. Thanks for watching!
Do you know if blackmagic has done anything about this issue since you posted this tutorial two years ago? I'm just now starting a huge series of projects that will be 90% multicam, multi-channel and am not looking forward to all the clicks required now. Thanks for the info, very helpful to me!

Legend!
Nice! thanks. I always preferred multicam to Sync Bin but learned sync bin because it was what the speed editor did. I can go back to multicam now :D
Thanks for watching Chrissie. It was version 17 that finally had me paying attention to the cut page and that version of multicam too! I love that we have options. I still haven't decided what I like to do more in which page. I guess music video type things with a track that can't get interrupted should always be traditional multicam? Cheers!
@@CreativeVideoTips Yes, I agree that music videos do tend to work better with multicam than sync bin and that's mostly what I tend to do. Thanks for all the tips :)
You the man, Chadwick!
Thanks so much for watching this morning Mathew. Cheers!
@@CreativeVideoTips Yo man! Been a hot minute since I've checked out one of your videos. Probably since I've shifted focus from film production to film gear maintenance and repair 😂 Keep on creating that good stuff! ✌
Thanks for your video! Tip for others: If you have a bunch of clips you have to manually align, you can do it in a timeline, then turn that timeline into a multi-clip (make a copy of the timeline) and then you can add that multi-clip into another timeline and edit it with multi-cam functionality.
You're the coolest.
Working with audio in the multi cam should be simpler, this video just saved me so much time… no way I would have figured this out! Thank you!!
Glad it helped! I agree, I really wish blackmagic could take another look at adaptive tracks and make them more usable where editors need them on the edit page.
@@CreativeVideoTips has that functionality been added yet? Also, noob question... My camera record 4 channel audio. Why do I need more than just one channel though?
I and some other, we asked for this feature (Bart). Happily the did it. As segeral other feature I did request. Like the chapters for UA-cam, support VST3 etc ...BMD is really great because when they get the meaning of their clients, they consider them.
you are the best :)
You are for taking the time to watch this! Hopefully you found something new you can use from this one.
Awesome tutorial for multicam - gives me more confidence to try shooting with multicam now 😀
Question on deleting those audio tracks you didn't want - could you open clip attributes on the media tab for camera 1 and remove the channels (3 and 4 here) that you didn't want? I've done that outside of multicam so not sure if it works here.
Bro that audio chapter saved my bacon 🙏
You and me both ;) I'm hoping this gets simplified in v18.
Thank you so much for this!! Is there any updated version ? has anything changed from the latest the Resolve 18.6 releases?
Hi,
Bravo I love your channel for far the best IMHO yo understand Resolve...and thx to you I did buy a speed editor to speed my work and it is a huge difference.
I am actually half time sound ingénieur for classical music and work with program Wich are mostly not so User friendly Reaper or Samplitude,Cubase in comparaison to RESOLVE 17.
I need to say the firefly is great for what it does but I usually do all my work in another program because of the plugins ARA2 integration…spectral layers for spectral cleaning of classical music concert.
Since some month after a very bad experience with a video crew I started as well to video record and produce Classical music concert clip Trailer.
Of course main focus is sound,but I bought the best value for money 2 Gh5 Gh4 and 2 BMPC4K all second hand mostly half of the price GH4 even for 350 CHF/Dollars.
Editing FX,basic stuff I can manage coming from audio.
I just still struggle with camera matching and color grading,even with a calibrate monitor good WB exposure on set,correct exposure with false color zebra wave monitor...
I tried LUTS convertor to Aces and back,Going to Aces and back with Pre group Node and post Group with Aces Transform,Color space Transform, DaVinci Color Mangement, manual with color checker24 with the scare méthode or totally manually with stretching vlog and braw(probably xrite vidéo large is better because data color checker is somewho off imho what do you thing)
Well it is taking me always a lot of time to crunch the footage specially if in production something was off...mostly recording vlog L 10bit422 Alli and Braw Q3 final product UA-cam rec 709 and in future HDR as well
Most of the time I have nice result at the end but it is taking me a huge time.
Run a lot of test,tried to make a custom LUT for my camera's to match one I am taking as reference...but I found the best méthode is DaVinci color management and after it manually change some setup and I am taking GH5 vlog as reference because braw is more flexible.
Use color chart to control the result, anyway with colorcheckr 24 I am getting strange results specially in red cyan...
Bref anywhay....still did not figure out the best method for me,not so time consuming...maybe worth the try with xrite vidéo colorcheckr.
If you have any special advice glad to here from you or anyone if you have time
Anyway bravo you have a great channel
I love it
Greetings for Biel Switzerland...

Bravo Chadwick! I've been watching this more times than I can count and there's still one thing I'm trying to figure out in the audio for multicam... I'm working on a video I recorded on three Canon C300 Mark II's and a Zoom F6 all sync'd with timecode. The four tracks of audio on the Canon's are all scratch audio and the F6 has the Sennheiser lapel audio on the three subjects on camera, which is the good audio. I've been using Premier for the last 6 years or so and have been loving this transition to Resolve and the speed editor, so I'll be watching more of your wonderful tutorials!
Awesome, glad it was helpful. Multichannel audio is tricky to get back to the source. I outlined the steps in this blog post for quick reference on all the linked adaptive track stuff - creativevideotips.com/tutorials/multicam-tips-with-the-davinci-resolve-speed-editor
@@CreativeVideoTips I'll check it out right now. Thank you Chadwick and have a great weekend!
I'm stingy with the like button, but you earned it with this video. Wouldn't be me if I didn't criticize a bit - you acknowledged speaking too fast but continued that way - please slow down. If your videos get a litte longer, who cares? If I'm missing something, please advise.
This was what I was looking for. Perhaps you could have spent more time on correcting a misplaced cut though. Worth watching again in any case.
HolyCowChadwickYou'reReallyExcitedToExplainAllThisButThat'sAwesomeBecasueI'mReallyExcitedToLearnItTHANKS!
Wow! I'm so glad I picked up the Speed Editor when it first came out. I must thank Blackmagic for updating the editor to allow multiclip editing on the editing page. This will make it so much more useful for me going forward. By the way, how much coffee had you drunk prior to shooting this episode? Anyway, I love your channel and will review this tutorial again once I get my next multi-cam project. Thanks so much! I'd be interested in learning more about other software updates that were made to the Speed Editor in the latest Resolve 17.4.
Yeah I'm thankful they added this and we both were able to purchase it before the price that recently went up too! I always appreciate hearing from you Keith. I'll be curious what you think of using this with the edit page instead of the cut page on your next multicam project.
As far as I know, this is the only speed editor feature they added in 17.4. What is exciting though is to see they added functionality which I wasn't expecting so who's to say they won't add more in the future. Cheers!
Hey and merry christmas. I like your tutorials and they have helped me quite a bit on figuring out different techniques with Davinci Resolve.
One issue at the moment however, dosn`t really work yet. Maybe you could give some suggestions.
I recorded a video with two Cameras. The Main Camera is my Panasonic G7 set to 4K and the other is my Android Smartphone set to 4K aswell.
My Audio is recorded seperately using my Zoom F2 Field recorder.
Now, on the G7 camera set to 4K, the camera will create new clips roughly every 2GB (approx). What happend is, I set everything to multicam, synced everything up, but the second clip from the Panasonic is a) not recognized and b) it seems to be muted.
I had no chance on activatiing audio, although the Audio was synced to the clips. The angle from the smartphone from that point on was muted or cut away aswell.
Could you by chance put up a step by step tutorial, on how to edit in multicam whith a) seperate recorded audio files and b) camera split video files, like mentioned above?
What I did yesterday in the end was to render the two clips recorded with the G7 to one single file and then used that to create the multicam track together with the smartphone file. But that can`t be the solution to the above mentioned issue.
I very much appreciate your content, even as a non-newb-anymore Resolve user, there's usually something to learn (not the bit about Bell inventing telephone from the other video, that much was obvious, although disputable), although I wish there was a way to set CTA for like/subscribe to -12dB, esp. when following your Resolve Tutorials playlist, they get old real fast.
Loud videos are overated and obnoxious (although of course you're not the worst transgressor, by far). Still, nothing wrong with NOT pushing the loudness limits.
Chadwick, super cool … I actually learned something new from this specific multicam tutorial. You're so detailed man :^)
Ok but I got a question; I want to cut a gaming session with 3 "cameras" (two gameplays of seperate computers and one webcam that basically films both) - I want to always see two images; either the game-capture fullscreen with a little facecam up-top and the game-capture switches back and forth, or sometimes the facecam fullscreen, and the gameplay as the smaller viewframe up-top. Do I overlay multiple multicam clips to achieve this? Do you got a workflow for that?
There's no need to separate audio. You can right clic over the audio multicam track, and select from wich clip is the audio coming. Kinda hidden, but there is.
Well that is cool. Love the "Bee and Pee" thing. I would just add that when you showed people the "open multicam in timeline" to see the audio stacked. that that is also how you can grade each angle - while in that mode - clicking the color tab will then show the full clips. In this case it would be two clips. You can then do a color correction or grade and when you go back and click back to the multicam ( breadcrumb link at the bottom of the timeline ) all the clips that are cut will all have the color done. This is the part in forums where people don't seem to know. Way easier than trying to group them later or use Remote grading. I think that multicam is still an underused editing technique in Resolve. Even with two angles like you have there, it really speeds things up. In most cases the audio, I pretty much use anything for a scratch audio and then drag the finished audio under the multicam there and quickly sync that and turn off the one from the multicam.
Anther really informative video Chadwick. Cheers
Ah yes Jim, that's actually a great idea for a future tutorial on color grading multicam with open in timeline or even composites with unmix.
When you say you drag your finished audio under the multicam and sync it there in the timeline, is usually just one long sound file? Instead of on and off cameras that are stop and starting like a sync map? I guess I'm just curious if maybe I'm missing something to get original tracks that doesn't require the sort of hacky linked group technique. Match framing would take much longer to over-cut and that's the only other thing I could think of.
@@CreativeVideoTips Most of my multicams are music videos where all the angles ( most ) are recorded playbacks of a pre-recorded song, and the artists lip sync.
For me rather than play around with all of them or have the original recording as part of the multicam - I just do the edits and the drop the finished high quality music track sent to me by the recording studio and quickly sync to whatever scratch track was from one of the cameras. If it doesn't match somewhere I open it in the timeline and slip forward or back to compensate for any delay in the scratch audio.
I have a speed editor being shipped to me right now ( Nov 11th) . So I will be scrutinizing a lot of your great content, Chadwick.
@@JimRobinson-colors Yes! I can't believe you didn't jump on board a year ago, but I guess you didn't have the need for a studio license back then. It's a fun tool, or toy, or both.
This is great! Is there a way to do a "virtual" Multicam? In my scenario I have a host and guest interview captured in 3 clips, together with presentation, isolated host and isolated guest but I also want to have a split screen with host iso on one side and guest iso on the other. Is there a way to make those views into their own camera angle? Thank you!
Thank you for the video tutorial! I'm new to video editing (hobby) and Da Vinci Resolve and just edited my first multicam project! I'm having a little trouble with clips that I would like to be sped up but when I adjust the speed of the clip it takes out the audio from the following clips. Is there a way to fix this?
Nniceee 😊
I really like your videos and find them more than useful, so thank you for that! Maybe you even have a tip for me regarding my hopefully not so special usecase. I often shoot an interview with 2 cams, so ideally I work with some kind of multicam. But as I am also using the rode wireless go2 on Cam1 with two mics, I always need to first set up the footage of Cam1 to contain two tracks of stereo audio each containing one of the speakers. So how do I create a multicam situation with BOTH audio tracks of cam1 and no audio from cam2?
Edit: I could just delete this comment, but I am too honest. Sorry mate, I should have just continued to watch. You already provided an answer even for that. Man you are just great! All the best to you!!!
This comment is awesome Alexander. Trying to help solve these kind of pain points is why I created this channel. So please continue to ask me those little niche workflow cases. Chances are they aren't really so niche and in the long run it could even help Blackmagic develop the software down the road? Who knows?
Great to hear this was helpful. If you need more info on mono audio tracks, this tutorial covers a few other situations. ua-cam.com/video/QX_Jww0iDos/v-deo.html
Great stuff. I particularly like the tip of the shortcut to see the multicam view in the source editor. I would really like to have a shortcut to change back to Source view, as my machine struggles to playback multicam smoothly and I (and my clients) constantly want to judge the cut in real time. Is there a way to get a shortcut to change back to Source from Multicam?
Thanks for watching - Wow! This is such a good question maybe it's a bug. I just went to figure this out and while there are commands under - edit/media viewer - source viewer options - (insert window here) - you can get into multicam, but not back out without clicking your mouse. I will keep digging, but I'm not sure this is possible. This is would be a great small feature request for Blackmagic.
Hi thanks for all your great videos. Can you make a video explaining how to delete the latest version of davinci in case of glitches and problems? Thanks
You should see an "uninstall resolve" app within your davinci resolve application folder. Just run that, reboot and you should be good. Please make sure to backup and export your databases before you do this though so you don't lose any work. I have a database video here on the channel to guide you through that part.
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks
Great informational video. Just a question: Why you didn't delete the scratch audio in the clip attributes instead of going through that audio workflow in the TL? Thanks.
This is a REALLY good question. In hindsight I wish I mentioned it in the video. The reason is pretty simple though.
Everything happens downstream from clip attributes and I often will create proxies and pass files around. If you remove them from clip attributes, then any new file you generate from them won't have them or match up with the same number of tracks which is important for re-linking in many applications. The same thing goes for why I don't conform slow motion in clip attributes.
You certainly can, but I don't think its a great practice to do unless you are confident you won't need inter-operability outside of DaVinci Resolve.
Hope that helps to answer that super important question.
Hi Chad, glad I did the Resolve with bundled edit panel deal now that it costs more. I see the Davinci keyboard panel has been heavily reduced and the colour grading panel to.
I think the edit panel is becoming very popular.
Hi Grant, yeah I saw that news. It's always a good feeling when you're able to snag a deal. I was starting to wonder if they ever where going to raise the price of the speed editor like they said at the launch of it. I guess they kept their word.
I would love to get my hands on a mini color panel at some point in the future. I had one at a post house I worked at several years ago and it was very nice and helps you keep your eyes on the screen as you make adjustments.
@@CreativeVideoTips
Hi Chad, at $819usd the micro panel is getting pretty tempting.
Love to see you review that one.
Good video. I just finished the BM Fairlight training and you hit all the tricks. I ordered the speed editor yesterday when I saw they were going to up the price and expect it tomorrow. I still have problems with syncing. Am I not able to extend the right and left margins after placing the clip in the timeline? I still have problems getting the feel of it. I don't understand how I'm getting off sync from time to time.
Hi Harlod, that is awesome to hear. (I still need to do more of the official training) But I'm glad some of these tips aren't too far off from the "official" way. Nice job catching the last of the sale price. I'm a sucker for sales myself. But I think you'll find the tool useful and can really make editing fun again if it sometimes feels mundane.
I would love to know more about the syncing challenge you're having though. Are you saying you can't trim out a multicam clip or that you want to make the multicam nest (the open in timeline view) to be longer?
Once you are in sync, it should be locked in though and that's where the red sync indicators should help along with the chain link selection button. But this is a good topic for a future video so I can explain the auto select buttons because they all play a roll.
great video, but I have a question, in my multicam edit I want to have 2 channel externally recorded audio files as sound track in my multicam edit, how do I do that
Davinci 18.5 here
I have 6 channels of audio but when I go to Display Individual Audio Channels it only shows 2 channels, even though 6 channels are available before flattening the multi cam clip.
So I found a workaround waa to just copy and paste the audio clips into the timeline with the multicam clip.
Fantastic work! Got more out of this 11 minutes than 30 anywhere else!
But please, go faster!! One more double expresso and it should be perfect!
Just kidding of course, your pace is fast and that is exactly perfect. The pause button works fine when needed.
Thank you!
Noted! Thanks so much for hanging out and watching. I really appreciate the kind feedback.
Hey Chadwick,
Very helpful video but I am still confused about a few things.
I created a multicam clip and disabled on audio track but when I open the multicam clip in timeline where I can see all the tracks and I can hear my selected Audi.
But when I close the individual tracks into the multicam track I cannot hear my audio. Is that normal? I saw how you did something to flatten the tracks but with just 2 original clips - with just 2 angles should I have to do alll that flattening and adjusting?
Also is there any way to control the name of the angle with the clip.
Is there anyway to rearrange the clips in the media pool so that when you create the multicam clip the main clip is angle 1 instead of the angle 2 it defaults to?
Great vids as always, thank you! I have a frustration with multicam in Davici and how it handles audio. When I sync clips, the multicam defaults to stereo and is unable to use multitrack audio from my cameras. Very frustrating as I have to manually sync up audio after. I would love to be able to access the 4 audio tracks recorded in one of my cams when multicam editing. I am hoping its something really obvious but I have tried syncing with the clip attributes setup in multiple different ways yet, the same result. A stereo multicam clip. Is there a solution?
The trick I use right now is to do a “match frame to source clip” then overwrite the poly wave back down to the timeline. Tutorial is in the works for the spring.
Thanks for this great multicam info...coming from Premiere and they way I did it this helps...BUT...now my issue is that I am unable to switch between cameras...tried using the numbers on my keyboard....NOTHING...tried clicking on screen on each camera...NOTHING.....my keyboard is a Logic Keyboard for DaVinci....shouldn"t the numbers on the keypad allow me to switch between cameras??? What am I missing?? All was good up until this point...HELP!!! ON DEADLINE....!
Do you think text based sync from transcription will be a future option?
when I hit the different angles, from 1 and 2, I hit 2, it jumps back to 1. I t also doesn't show in the source window.
I saw this in the Release Notes and tried it out... so happy it's there, but on my computer, at least, there's a lag of about 7 frames from when I push the key on the SE to when it makes the cut. It's a shame, and I don't want to go back and fix them, so I end up using my computer's keyboard instead.
Oh man, that shouldn't happen. Did resolve prompt you to do a firmware update by chance after installing 17.4? It did for me and I wonder if that has made the difference. Perhaps try plugging it in next time you launch resolve to see if it wants to update.
The only reason I could think that it might lag is because it needs to be transcoded to an easier to edit codec like ProRes Proxy or DNXLB.
I have the same problem, only that the lag for me is about 5-6 frames. Editing music videos on the beat is not fun on the speed editor considering this problem.
@@ianosidragos YUP. [drops mic, 7 frames late]
@@CreativeVideoTips I'm using the latest version of DR Studio, and the latest SE firmware. Still happens.
Deffonatly report it on the forums then I wonder is it blutooth lag or old blutooth version tho hmmmmmm
I never understood adaptive tracks.. i have never edited a video in my life without editing individual audio tracks.
anyway, a kind-of recent update in resolve gave us the opportunity to convert normal timelines to multicam timelines. it's now just a matter of inserting the clips on the desired tracks and converting the timeline, which makes this process alot faster
Yeah it's nice I guess that you can cut in Speed Editor but there's an 8 frame delay between you hitting the key and the cut appearing on the timeline. That's a huge delay no matter what you're working on. Useless especially if you're cutting music. Selecting in the source window on the fly is instant. Besides that, you can keep a much better eye on the shots if you cut within the source window.
Hi, is there a way to put the multicam viewer to an extra monitor, I mean only them. If you edit speach from 2-4 cameras,it no problem but edition dance videos with 6-10 takes,you see nothing in those small windows... Any tips?
Why not select the appropriate tracks on the original clips' attributes and then tell multicam to not switch audio... seems like a lot less work and way more organized project-wide...?
Hi, before rendering, how do I put titles at the beginning of the multi-camera? Thanks
wouldn't it be easier to record audio separately? it seems a lot of steps just to be able to mix audio rather than just record separately and then sync them up with the video, which by the way, your method to sync video is awesome.
Thank Literal GOD. So many people literally say masterclass this masterclass that and literally only have one audio track going. I record all my cameras and then 3 lavs for my wedding ceremonies so I need to move between multiple sources. Could i just have those audio clips selected too when i hit create multicam sequence? And then do what you did to separate any tracks? Or what if I am using timecode for all sources and i put them all on their own track on the timeline and just make the video a multicam because thats basically all I need to do is multicam the video with multiple audio sources that also include sources that arent from a camera. Sorry for the long question.
👍
How would I go about using the audio from all 3 of my cameras in a multi setup? I'm only seeing the option for only using 1 of the cameras audio? I have everything lined up in the edit page. I have my 3 cameras audio mixed in Fairlight. But I can only export 1 cameras audio and not all of them combined? When I flatten my multicam clip it just shows 1 cameras audio.
Hello, How can you put the 4 channel audio on one single audio timeline ? I work with R5C and C70, and it's a pain have to delete every time the other two audio lines.
when it works it is awesome but I simply cannot get all the clips to sync and these all have good sound and sync easily when I do it individually on timeline.
What I do is sync manually and then make it a Multicam project
Is there new workflow in 18.1 or 18.5 that helps with this audio hack? its seems really cumbersome for us that shoot with a multitrack recorder.
I think I need a video of what CAN'T you do in the sync bin.
This is a good suggestion Harold. Thanks!
OK...I have followed your tutorial ...and dealt with adaptive audio... but I have usable audio on both cameras that I need...How do I do this? It appears that I have to select camera 1 OR camera 2...I need both!!! Each camera has a mic source on it.
HELP!!
@05:56 The Keyboard Shortcut for Multicam View is explained, which works for me. But what does not work, I cannot set a shortcut to go back to "Source View". This would be extremly handy in Situations when I'm cutting 10+ simultaneous clips, as in source view I can review the cut without the need for proxy resoultion. But by some reason in "Multicam View" mode there is no shortcut working to change this mode back to Source View. Maybe a bug (still in 18.x) 🤔🤔 or did anyone got that working?
I have a problem! I don’t see a Multicam in the drop down menu in Davinci 18.. And double display button ( the one that is right next to the color sign in edit page ) I would very much appreciate your help 🙏🏻 And Thanks a lot for your extremely helpful videos! Love your channel 👍🏻
Try closing your inspector if it’s open in the upper right.
Sometimes you run out of screen resolution with it open so it won’t be visible if the media pool is also open.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks! It worked 😅🙌 And also somehow I don’t see the Multicam view option the one on the left side corner.. Do you maybe have a clue about that? 🙏🏻🤖
@@CreativeVideoTips Got it! It’s in the second window 😅🙋♂️Thanks a lot Chadwick 👍🏻
Damn, multicam is so much easier in premier compared to this. I was trying to learn Resolve but man this is so much more work compared to premier.
It's just different. One nice thing is Resolve gives you Sync Bin as an alternate method. I actually think minus a waveform drawing issue (and no audio timecode support) that Final Cut has the best traditional Multicam tools.
Great video!! Thanks! One major question if you don't mind...
The problem I am having is that the 8 videos on the Davinci Multicam view are listed in a telephone keypad order (ie from top to bottom: 123, then 456, then 789), but the keyboard keypad is upside down (ie 789, then 456, then 123).
This makes it very confusing as the keypad does not directly correspond to the multicam view on the screen. For instance, if I want to cut to the top left video (camera 1), I have to click on the bottom left key on the keyboard (number 1). The middle top video on the multicam requires the bottom middle key on the keypad. It's not intuitive and creates lots of mistakes. The same issue obviously occurs with the Speed Editor.
My question: Is it possible to flip either the order on the multiview screen or on the keypad so that they directly correspond to each other? How? This would make editing using the keypad (or Speed Editor) seamless.
I also have the same issue!
@@JohnShyloski same here. Should be an easy fix. Did anyone manage to find a solution? Thx
The keyboard shortcut for multicam view does not work for me, I added the shortcut just as you showed, and in the edit page if I click on the source viewer options it displays that multicam view has that shortcut assigned to it but if i hit that shortcut it doesn't work, I have tried different keyboard combinations to be sure that the shortcut has no conflict with other settings but no keyboard combination seems to work with this, am I missing something?
The strange thing is that other shortcut keys for other commands seem to work properly. (I'm working with Davinci Resolve Studio 18.1)
