I didn’t feel right putting out an exclusive WINNER video so I packaged it into a MULTI CAMERA editing video. SKIP to 5:50 for the SIMMOD Vintage Canon FD 50mm 1.8 WINNER draw. Thanks for everyone who contributed. I wish I could give you guys all lenses!
hey mark i love this video but im having audio issues, first off it isnt switching the audio with the camera switches and im not sure how to fix that, also it switches from mono to stereo and only plays out of one speaker and i havent been able to fix that either. any suggestions?
@@ignorantnerds Yo, check out 3:13 in the video, the audio sequence settings you wan to switch to either ALL CAMERAS or SWITCH AUDIO if you want the audio to switch to that specific camera when you cut to it. When it switches from mono to stereo, does it do it when you switch cameras? Try your audio settings to pan centre on your mixer. I'm not sure off hand why that's doing that. I'd have to look into it a bit more. It does seem off.
@@MarkHoltze so I have fiddled with all those settings while making the sequence. The problem is the audio is leveled to both ears as money before I put it through all the multi window sequence stuff. So that's what I'm confused with.
@@MarkHoltze hey just fyi i got it all figured out, it was litterally a couple hidden buttons i needed to click, but thank you for this video it has opened up my world for editing, so thanks dude. you rule
Dude, I've seen a lot of multicam editing tutorials (including Peter McKinnon's) but this was the best one. probably the first time I've seen someone utilize a 'vintage camera' (idk what they're called sorry xD) for such a tutorial, which made it all the more exciting. Didn't win the lens but got an awesome tutorial instead! so not complaining, not complaining, not complaining xD Absolutely stoked for the camera show video, keep making them man!
Thanks Khaled! Sadly (my age) the Sony Handycam IS a vintage camera and to stay in context with the channel I thought it would be a good C-Cam! Going to shoot more with that camera actually, it's still a great camera and has a look I don't have to treat AT ALL! ;) Ya honestly I wish I had more lenses to giveaway! Thanks for the kind words and sorry you didn't win mate. Glad the tutorial stood out despite having seen lots, I try to teach at a level and with some context that would help me at an early level. Some of that includes some consistency with camera settings. Thanks again for watching mate!
It’s great! Hard for detailed cuts though, but it ballparks perfectly. I always find you need to trim it back a few frames give or take. My pleasure mate.
I'm relatively new to Premiere editing but have a suggestion. i recorded two cameras, plus a separate audio track using audacity with a Yeti Mic - (wanted a crystal clear track to use not only with the video but for a podcast as well). I wanted all three to sync but only use the audacity channel (not the camera audio) for the sound. i imported the two cameras and the audio track together, not sure if it work work and presto - it synced perfectly - and automatically used the higher quality audacity track. might be good to highlight this in the future as i was impressed it worked for me by just experimenting.
Nice tip mate! I honestly don’t use this all too often. I’m mostly on avid MC anyway and a bit spoiled as the assistants do all the grouping for me these days. Appreciate the experienced results!
Did you import all 3 and automatically clipped together?? I've been putting master audio on timeline and then synchronising cam 1 and cam 2 on separate tracks to the audio and cutting out bits as I see fit... but it's very time consuming and I feel like there's a better way that I'm missing out on! Any advice? thanks
Thanks man, I don’t do enough tutorials, feels like market is flooded, this video is finally getting some traction a year later. Glad it helped you! Take it easy Steve!
Hi, first thank you for your video. I tried and it works. I am glad it exist, i was planning to do it manually. But I have another questions. how does different shots paste together and yet look this naturally transition from one shot to another without using a transition. i hope i am making my self understood. Are they also edited in the mul-camera mode? thanks again.
Most stuff isn't edited in multi camera mode, this is a bit of a loaded question and is part of what makes editing work. Single Camera shoots, most films are shot with maybe 2 cameras, but almost always just one. The "blocking" of a scene usually lends itself to actors doing similar actions across many take that you can use as cut points. It's called "cutting on action or matching action". You can also hide a lot of subtle differences by the nature of the angle of camera placement. More than 30 degrees and going from a medium shot to a close up for example is a good example of this. Multi camera stuff is used a lot in the news, live events and some sit coms, but most stuff I work on is all single camera and you just find the natural points to cut. Most of which are story driven. LOADS of tricks here though lol. In The Blink Of An Eye by Walter Murch is a great read, you should check it out.
Hi! Great video! Just a quick question: You have multiple cameras, all at different angles. How does Premiere Pro know how to put them on different tracks on the timeline? Thank you very much!
It groups them into their own subclip kind of thing. As long as your sync point is accurate the cameras should line up. Then you've got ONE video track you can work with but it's split X ways (how many cameras you have)
I'm on AVID MC most of the time and it's MC editing is seamless. I haven't tried FCPX version, actually I haven't touched FCPX since FCP 7 was retired. I should look into it again. Thanks Jess! Good luck out there.
I don’t have that program but I’m sure many of those principles and practices would apply to any program (like the exposure tip). Might have to try a two-cam setup some time soon. Congrats to Drew.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Doing a tutorial on multicam editing using multiple cameras was confusing, wasn't it? :D I have an additional question, it would be awesome if you have a hint for me: I have two cameras now (one filming me, one filming my desk). The desk camera is 4k, but my videos are HD. So I am able to zoom into (sometimes) my desk footage without loosing quality. How can I implement this to multicam editing? Can I fake a third camera with my footage at 50% - to make this view switchable, too? How would you do it? Thank you so much!
Thanks. What happens when you have a camera that had multiple starts and stops? Basically, I have one camera, where I had to stop and start recordings, leaving me with multiple files.
Hmmm, the idea really is to avoid that. You can manually group the clips recorded together. It’s a bit of a pain, but when shooting multi camera you really should try to avoid starting and stopping a lot or at different times within cameras. Just makes more work to sync, no real short cut here unfortunately. You can group via time code but I doubt you have time code sync on those cameras?
Can you do this if you turn off a camera or all cameras and turn them on again ? Let's say I waa filming me cooking on two or three cameras I turn off then move cameras to look at me eating Can I turn on and just drop the whole lot in one bin? Or do you need separate bin etc ?
@@MarkHoltze have you done a video on this? Cutting cameras . I'm thinking if I make a video of cooking 🍳 I might want to cut a camera occasionally and or stop all, then start them after changing their positions to film me eating fr example. Or am I complicating it lol thanks in advance
I spent half a day manually aligning feeds from 4 cameras and 2 audio recorders. This tutorial would have saved me time and done a better job. I'm actually starting my project over again, using this tutorial, because my manual alignment isn't as good as what this does. Thanks!
Sorry to hear you found it late mate, hopefully it helps you moving forward. Although keep that manually aligned feed as a BACKUP (since you already did the work). Best of luck Alek!
Thanks mate, honestly for audio I would just manually line them up after and mute the irrelevant tracks. Gives me full control and it's easy enough to sync up by eye after the fact. It's what I do when I'm using audio from different sources.
Excellent tutorial Mark, definitely pinning this one to my favourites. It always helps when there is a sync clap. I can't tell you enough how frustrating it is when the cameras don't line up because the shooters didn't clap :D
It’s easy thing to do and you can do it at the end if forgotten off the top. Important to obviously cut the camera at any point without a re clap as well. So many things to consider while MC shooting as well. Could do a whole thing on those alone. ;) Thanks for the comment mate. You’re last time lapse video was amazing by the way.
It just creates a new seq you can can always go back to your original sequence and clips at any time. It doesn’t modify your footage, it just creates a new realm for them to work in.
Very nice tip on the clapping. I had no idea. I'm still using Windows Movie Maker. lol. I've got Adobe Premiere Pro, but hate the layering. I'm glad to discover your channel for tips via Eh Joe's collab.
Use whatever works :) Premiere is good, but it might be a bit overkill. Check out resolve, from black magic. It’s really great program and the free version is very capable.
I made a mistake and had different shutter speed and resolution settings on two cameras. Is it still possible to edit them together? Thanks for your help
Probably should have covered that. You need to access the SOURCE clip. Go into the PROCESSED CLIPS. DOUBLE CLICK on the ORIGINAL SOURCE. It will open up in the SOURCE MONITOR and that's where you need to apply the COLOUR EFFECT. Just drag the colour Lumetri tool into that source clip and from there you can grade it like you normally would. It will apply that grade to your new grouped sequence. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
@@joebob2311productions Anytime you switch its a bit crazy. I'm an editor and mostly cut in AVID, but I've had to learn these for a few shows I've worked on. The general rule is 2 weeks in a program and you start to feel comfortable. It's always super frustrating taking longer to do things out the gate where you were able to do them super quick before. Good luck mate!
i am an beginner in premier this is very good example of how to mix multi camera but i didn't know how to synchronize all cams together with the clap ? i think you didn't enplane here how
You simply put a "mark in" at the clap point. I prob should have showed that, but I found it a bit confusing dropping back outside that settings window. 2:41 is the time stamp. Before i went into that control panel I simply did a "mark in" on every camera at the clap point. The system based on my audio preference setting "in point" lined up the multi camera sequence between all cameras at that "mark in" point for all cameras. Hopefully that makes sense mate.
When and how do you color correct when all cameras are all off colors and expousere? it is really tricky. i had two3 different cameras, (two same brand but different mocel, and a total different camera.) all color grading are off. how do you balance them as close as possible? Thanks
Great video.I was just wondering though where the red round record button was in the program monitor. I’m guessing that is a newer feature? Also, the edit cameras feature that is in the program monitors wrench, is grayed out and I don’t know why. Would you? Thanks.
Mark you have a really great style bro, this has a real Peter Mckinnon kind of feel to it but somehow and can not put my finger on it but .....well you get it. Great info and delivery. Stoked to watch more.
Thanks Joe. Been shooting videos for 25 years, professionally for 18 of those so as far as the shooting/editing goes that's all pretty natural for me. The on camera stuff takes a bit more getting used to. In front of the camera is a much different beast but people connect with the face on screen so it was a necessary step to take.
There are a few rules when dealing with doing a Multicam edit. One is that you keep all cameras rolling or at least initiate a "clap" as a sync point. If people are just randomly turning the camera off and on then it's probably not the best way to initiate a MultiCamera sequence edit. Better off just eyeball it. Production and post production workflows need to be in sync for best results. Sounds like your situation might not benefit from using the MC feature in premiere as it's meant to work with cameras that have been shot in sync. Random production usually means a random post production workflow. Hope that helps mates, could be exceptions to your project.
@@MarkHoltze oh! Thanks for the quick response, man! Well i'm doing some sort of a music video, but due to the quarantine the musicians had to film by themselves in their houses. I added a metronome in the beginning of the track so they could play as synchronized as possible, you think it will work as the clap to sync in all of the videos?
im not kidding. I was just watching Peter McKinnons Cheap lighting set up on a budget video (From 2 years ago).... the end segment, showing the B-Roll of the stuff he used, he had a song playing - I go to find how to edit multi cam in Premiere and I just clicked your video (First video I am choosing to watch) and you are playing THE EXACT SAME SONG hahahah anyhow, i am about to check your video out! lol
i just wanna know how to edit in multicamera window like ghetto ass sony vegas did ten years ago i am not trying use 7000 cams from one event or make a new sequence. i just wanna know how to take 20 clips in an existing timeline and turn on a multi all at once editing on the fly feature like basic ass low rent vegas did in the 1800s
Hi! My camera (Akaso V50 Pro) offers three options: 4K 30fps, 1080 60fps, and 720 120fps. I'm very confused about shooting options and editing (probably in Adobe Premiere Pro). FPS/resolution?How should I export a video to capture 4K 30 fps and 1080 60 fps (some parts of the video I want in real time,some in slow motion)? Thanks :)
Well you'll select your SEQ setting as either 4k or a 1080 one. You can mix framerates in the same sequence so choose what frame rate and resolution you want to output at and go from there. Obviously I'm assuming you want the 60 and 120 in slow motion. You can right click on that footage in your footage bin and go to "modify" and "interpret" type in 23.976 and it will play all the 60 and 120 slow motion. Just make sure if you've shot those frame rates you set your shutter speed to 1/125 and 1/250 (shutter speed is double frame rate). It's a big question so go ahead with any follows ups if you need mate.
I had a problem, when I cut to another camera the V1 doesn't cut it just changes in view but not in edit line. What am I doing wrong? Anyone guess? lol Sorry, first timer. Great tutorial Mark! Thanks
Great tutorial video.👍🏿 However,how do I add multiple camera angles in one premiere pro sequence setting without creating another sequence? Thanks for feedback.
Thanks for this video! How you go back and rescale a clip after it has been completely sequenced? I need to reframe my Camera 3 and have it applied to the entire Nest Sequence without going one by one, cut to cut :/
Adobe doesn't cut audio which is frustating as I edit video interviews and have to often cut pauses between host and guest. FCPX does a much better job.
@@MarkHoltze IN multi-cam settings when you switch cameras it only cuts the video clips. In most cases there are pauses - instructions given to guests not to talk over each other - and we need to cut out those pauses. In Premiere it doesn't cut audio so you have to manually cut audio clips to crop. On FCPX it cuts everything so it saves hours.
Most likely because often times the cameras are using a single mic source and most people don’t want to switch audio source for every camera cut. You can group your mic sources and I think of you highlight the clips in the Multicam sequence you can “link” them. But a lot of the time a cut in video doesn’t require a cut in audio. But that’s a super cool feature in fcpx that is by default.
@@MarkHoltze Yes. That adds more minutes and that is why working on Premiere is more expensive than working on FCPX. I am a journalist and FCPX make me more efficient.
@@SwapnilBhartiya I edit network tv and film series and we do everything in AVID Media Composer. When Final Cut moved from 7 to X the companies around who were using FCP moved over to Premiere and the Media Composer post facilities stayed with that. In my experience the faster you get the higher the workload gets. I cut multi camera stuff all the time and I'm always making different audio cuts to my picture cuts. It really depends on what you're working on. I'm software agnostic, to me it's just a tool that helps me get the job done. Thanks for the additional info!
Thank for the video. We used to have different cameras on different layers and after cutting, we color correct each cam by copy and paste the RGB curves throughout each layer. As different cam needs to be corrected differently, this works well. However, this multi-cam editing method packs every cam into a single layer. May I know how can I color correct each cam like I used to?
Hi mate, correct the master clip. So go to media bin, double click and inmyour effects tab it should say master clip. You can correct that one and it will carry through. I normally do the longer way and create adjustment layers for each camera and just paste it over top of the selected camera when I’m done. Most of our stuff goes out for final online editing so all the embedded grading gets sacked anyway. Either way works, depending on your workflow. Hope that helps mate.
Not sure how it is in cc2019, but in cc2018, when on pause, you can change/select a camera angle by Ctrl + Mouse click (it adds a cut at a current playhead position).
Seriously the most helpful tutorial so far on my most recent project. Question though, would there be a playback quality benefit to doing these cuts if I pre-render the timeline below before I make them? I know its before cuts are made, but I did an hour long stream and I'm having issues with playback quality since the files are 20+ GB each. I'm already using an external SSD, and have playback down to 1/8 (as low as it'll let me go.) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Before this I was beat matching 5 cameras so thank you!
I would try a pre render, I haven’t had any playback issues myself so I can’t say 100% but that should handle it. Render go have lunch come back and cut much faster :)
Thanks a lot. I want to ask and wish you understand what I mean. How can I while editing, see my steps in my tv screen, I mean I edit and in same time see it through the big screen?
Hey I got a question since you kinda have experience with multicams, you mention that cameras need to be on same White Balance, ok that's cool but is there risk that even that being settled you still need to CC the differences? It probably the fact, but I was wondering what do you do in those situation.
If you have three cameras that are the same brand with similar brand lenses than they SHOULD be good. I mean you would normally ALWAYS grade, but you could apply what you did to camera 1 to 2 and 3 as long as the exposures etc were correct. You run into problems when the temperatures vary wildly as you have to colour correct the two differently just to get the same look. It's so easy to white balance or at the very least have every camera at the same colour temperature. Makes life in post much easier, time is better spent making the edit better vs correcting :) Hope that helps.
With 15+ yrs of experience in Premiere Pro, this is my first ever multicam edit, so I really appreciate this video. Although, when I go to render my timeline, it won't even begin the render. It's like I have a couple corrupt nested timelines. I've deleted my preferences, rebooted the computer, etc. covered all the basics. So I'm just wondering if you've ran into this before in one of these multicam edits. I've spent most of the day trying to pinpoint which timelines, and troubleshoot.
Hmmm, that's strange. I'll be honest...I use AVID most of the time for my big editing projects (it's just what the stuff I cut is cut on) so I don't have a crazy amount of MC experience in Premiere Pro apart from the basic stuff. All that stuff has worked properly for me so I'd have to muck around a bit and troubleshoot. I actually have worked on one big premiere project for VICE and THEY GAVE me the footage stacked, they didn't even bother to multi cam it. I never asked why I just worked with the stacked cameras which was a bit of a pain, but it kept things at least where I knew where they were and could easily fix any issues I had. I would contact Adobe support as they probably have the answer there. Wish I could help you out mate.
@@MarkHoltze Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I'll be contacting Adobe tomorrow if I haven't found a work-around by then. I've pinpointed a couple of places in the stack that refuse to render, so I might be able to replace those spots with the original clip at that TC. I agree this is weird.
@@stackstudios I would love to know what they tell you. I'm sure at some point I'm going to be cutting a big project on Premiere and it will be using MC so just how to avoid the situation if it comes up. Really wish I could help you out mate, best of luck with it!
@@MarkHoltze For the record, my work-around worked. I had to find the raw clips at the very point that was problematic, and on the final timeline I replaced those spots. It was like something about the multicam stack at about 2 or 3 locations became corrupt, because the original clips were just fine.
Very good question, I unfortunately don't have the answer to as I've never had to work like that before. Good discussion here about it though - community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/add-new-camera-midway-through-multicam-editing/td-p/10737171?page=1
Mark - This is the best video I've seen on Multi-Camera Editing (I've watched 20+). Thank you!!! Every time I Create MultiCam Source sequence I get different results depending if I put them in a bin like you suggest or just select all without creating a bin gives a "Can't synchronize... error on some clips. Why is Premier so inconsistent? Same settings same clips same process? Both 4k but one is 60fps and the other 30fps with audio triggers.
When it does work the worst part is after I'm done editing I save as and my edited sequence disappears. This only happens in Multi-Cam Editing. Also, I have a loaded machine and there are playback problems as well. Thought I was a novice maybe I should go back to 101. lol
I’ll be honest I never really use it. I just stack my video cameras and cut the old fashion way. Avid multi camera is flawless, Premiere is decent but ya it boggles down the system depending on the camera video quality if not working with proxies. Glad it was able to help you, I figured if I was gojng to do a video on it I should make it as clear as possible. Also why I like to sync everything manually with claps. I let the system handle none of that lol.
@@MarkHoltze Thanks Mark - I switched to 2 Hero 7's and Claps and working much better. But you are right doing it the old fashion way is better and not that much a time suck.
Hey great work Mark, & I just Subbed... can you help me out with this question please: I’ve just started editing project, that’s a 3 camera interview. The problem I have is that only 1 of the camera feeds runs right across the interview. The other 2 have occasional stops (I think they must be DSLRs with maximum file size recording limits. Can I still get them into a Multi Cam setup? and please let me know how I’d do this if you don’t mind... Many thanks my friend, Bobby (UK). 🌸 ( o)==:: 🌺
Congratulations on this tutorial, I intend to build a PC and I don't know how to work with Adobe Premier. I am currently editing on a Mac with Final Cut Pro. LIKE!
Live switch, yup. I think I mentioned that. It’s nice, but often i find the cut is always few frames off so I always end up modifying the cut point after the fact. Great place to get a good rough cut going though :)
Thanks, I thought I had time stamps in here, guess not. I've added chapters so you can see INTRO - TIPS FOR SHOOTING MC and TUTORIAL START. Thanks Charlie!
Can you tell me how I would color match the two (or three) camera clips, either before or after I've created a new sequence from clip? I keep watching color match tutorials, but I can't figure out how to use those color-matched clips once I have them matched. What's the next step??? Thanks!
@@MarkHoltze I see. Thanks for replying so fast. I couldn't get the alt/option thing to work, but I was able to just delete the cut and then drag the previous clip to fill the gap. But please tell me if you know the ideal keyboard shortcuts to map for those commands.
@@LastDollie My pleasure mate sorry it wasn't direct help. I actually don't have a shortcut for that specifically. I just use the combination cut and mouse drag similar to you.
Super cool Tutorial! If somebody can help me out with one problem: One clip was not possible to be synchronized automaticaly...how can i move it manually in the timeline? It was not even included into the clip as it seems...
@@MarkHoltze Thanks for the lightningspeed solution, finaly i just droped the multi-sequence into the timeline, added the missing track and created a new clip from the edited sequence :)
@@OnStageSH My pleasure mate, I always do "MARK IN" in points so I have full control over that sync point. Auto does a decent job, but it's too much of a pain to go back and have to re-do it if it didn't work. I also love little unconventional workarounds as well :)
What about changing scale of the video clips after the multi cam edit? If I change the scale will effect only that one clip or the whole group of angles from that camera? (Hope that made sense?)
You can change the scale of the clip the same way you would in your sequence. If you put cuts on either side of the clip you want to scale it will only scale that one in your edit timeline.
Hi, I didn't see where you manually synced the clips? My 2 clips did not sync correctly doing it this way. I did not see a way to manually adjust clips together. I went back and used audio sync. This worked. I clapped in my video as well . I would like to know how you synced your clips. Thanks, Matt
You have to Mark in on the clips at the clap points. Then sync by Mark in. It might be different now, they have changed some things since 2018...but Mark IN on your clips first then follow the screen instructions snd it should work.
Question, do you encounter any problems in multi-cam editing in Premiere Pro when combining two or three different codecs and their proxies so long as the frame rate is the same? Thanks.
The way I demonstrated I'm only using the audio from CAMERA 1. I'm not using the audio from the hi8 or 6Dii at all. I always manually choose a sync point as I demonstrated in this video. this is why I clapped at the top of it to visually set my in point on all three cameras. I don't ever personally rely on just the audio as it is not always accurate,
You will have to manually sync those unfortunately. OR you could thread together one master timeline and just manually sync it with an "in" point. That's how I would do it.
I have a wee problem, it might be a good followup video. Two of my three cameras max out at 1080p, so that's what i did. The third supports 2160p, so I did that, Now, I want to make a multicam sequence at 1080p, cropping the 2160p (to change framing).
i wish you could configre premiere to make the cut half a second before the point when you change camera. This multi cam editing works fine with locked off cameras, but if your cameras move, by the time you've seen the move and cut away, you need to move the cut point back a few frames. If only premiere would do that for you then I'd be using this all the time but as it is, this fundamental flaw of multi cam editing means I never use it.
Typically never cut in real time, the strength of it is being able to switch back and forth conveniently, but I don’t think it’s assuming you’re doing the majority of that while the playback is happening real time. Pause where you want the cut, make the change and play. I’ve been editing th series for 18 years, recently a show with 19 cameras and I’ve never ever made cuts in real time. That’s using avid and it’s got a much better multi cam system than premiere does. I always pause playback, then move on. But that’s just me, we all do things differently ✊

What if I'm using 3 different cameras with 3 different recording time limits? For example 15mins-10mins-20mins, can in still use the same technique???
Thank you. I think you are the only Premiere Pro tutorial that explained how to change the order of the cameras.
I should do more premiere tutorials 😆

Totally! Those decks are STILL expensive!

I'm relatively new to Premiere editing but have a suggestion. i recorded two cameras, plus a separate audio track using audacity with a Yeti Mic - (wanted a crystal clear track to use not only with the video but for a podcast as well). I wanted all three to sync but only use the audacity channel (not the camera audio) for the sound. i imported the two cameras and the audio track together, not sure if it work work and presto - it synced perfectly - and automatically used the higher quality audacity track. might be good to highlight this in the future as i was impressed it worked for me by just experimenting.
Nice tip mate! I honestly don’t use this all too often. I’m mostly on avid MC anyway and a bit spoiled as the assistants do all the grouping for me these days. Appreciate the experienced results!
Did you import all 3 and automatically clipped together?? I've been putting master audio on timeline and then synchronising cam 1 and cam 2 on separate tracks to the audio and cutting out bits as I see fit... but it's very time consuming and I feel like there's a better way that I'm missing out on! Any advice? thanks
Thank you. To all the other UA-cam tutorial guys, “Was this so hard?” Subscribed
Thanks man, I don’t do enough tutorials, feels like market is flooded, this video is finally getting some traction a year later.
Glad it helped you! Take it easy Steve!
Hi, first thank you for your video. I tried and it works. I am glad it exist, i was planning to do it manually. But I have another questions. how does different shots paste together and yet look this naturally transition from one shot to another without using a transition. i hope i am making my self understood. Are they also edited in the mul-camera mode? thanks again.
Most stuff isn't edited in multi camera mode, this is a bit of a loaded question and is part of what makes editing work.
Single Camera shoots, most films are shot with maybe 2 cameras, but almost always just one. The "blocking" of a scene usually lends itself to actors doing similar actions across many take that you can use as cut points. It's called "cutting on action or matching action". You can also hide a lot of subtle differences by the nature of the angle of camera placement. More than 30 degrees and going from a medium shot to a close up for example is a good example of this.
Multi camera stuff is used a lot in the news, live events and some sit coms, but most stuff I work on is all single camera and you just find the natural points to cut. Most of which are story driven. LOADS of tricks here though lol.
In The Blink Of An Eye by Walter Murch is a great read, you should check it out.
Hi! Great video! Just a quick question: You have multiple cameras, all at different angles. How does Premiere Pro know how to put them on different tracks on the timeline? Thank you very much!
It groups them into their own subclip kind of thing. As long as your sync point is accurate the cameras should line up. Then you've got ONE video track you can work with but it's split X ways (how many cameras you have)
@@MarkHoltze Ah ok that make sense! Thank you very much!
I'm a Premiere Pro girl but I have to say, MultiCam editing in FinalCut Pro is wayyyyy more efficient. Thanks for the tut, though!
I'm on AVID MC most of the time and it's MC editing is seamless. I haven't tried FCPX version, actually I haven't touched FCPX since FCP 7 was retired. I should look into it again.
Thanks Jess! Good luck out there.
I don’t have that program but I’m sure many of those principles and practices would apply to any program (like the exposure tip). Might have to try a two-cam setup some time soon. Congrats to Drew.
This was perfect, thank you. Straight forward, I could get back into Premiere and get what I wanted done right away. Thank you again!
My pleasure! Super stoked it worked out well for you.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Doing a tutorial on multicam editing using multiple cameras was confusing, wasn't it? :D
I have an additional question, it would be awesome if you have a hint for me:
I have two cameras now (one filming me, one filming my desk).
The desk camera is 4k, but my videos are HD. So I am able to zoom into (sometimes) my desk footage without loosing quality.
How can I implement this to multicam editing? Can I fake a third camera with my footage at 50% - to make this view switchable, too?
How would you do it? Thank you so much!
nice info thanks a lot. subscribed
Thanks, spent 4 hours yesterday splicing a 1hr webinar together, this is going to save a lot of time!
Playback multiecameras so slow help fix please.i cannot point my clip
That's most likely your computer. Try reducing the "video quality" to 1/4th full resolution.
What if I have an audio file which I'm editing of a music video (practicing) of which I want the audio from in the whole video ?
Thanks. What happens when you have a camera that had multiple starts and stops? Basically, I have one camera, where I had to stop and start recordings, leaving me with multiple files.
Hmmm, the idea really is to avoid that. You can manually group the clips recorded together. It’s a bit of a pain, but when shooting multi camera you really should try to avoid starting and stopping a lot or at different times within cameras. Just makes more work to sync, no real short cut here unfortunately. You can group via time code but I doubt you have time code sync on those cameras?
When we choose camera 1 how can we be sure or understand that camera 1 is the one with decent audio and not one of the others?
Whatever camera the mic is attached to. It’s something you have to be aware of when you shoot.
Can you do this if you turn off a camera or all cameras and turn them on again ? Let's say I waa filming me cooking on two or three cameras I turn off then move cameras to look at me eating Can I turn on and just drop the whole lot in one bin? Or do you need separate bin etc ?
Every time you cut a camera you need to re sync it. So you’ll need to organize your cut points before you go grouping them.
@@MarkHoltze have you done a video on this? Cutting cameras . I'm thinking if I make a video of cooking 🍳 I might want to cut a camera occasionally and or stop all, then start them after changing their positions to film me eating fr example. Or am I complicating it lol thanks in advance
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful. 👍
Pleasure!
I spent half a day manually aligning feeds from 4 cameras and 2 audio recorders. This tutorial would have saved me time and done a better job. I'm actually starting my project over again, using this tutorial, because my manual alignment isn't as good as what this does.
Thanks!
Sorry to hear you found it late mate, hopefully it helps you moving forward. Although keep that manually aligned feed as a BACKUP (since you already did the work).
Best of luck Alek!
Great video man. What if there's an audio input from another device? how do we sync it?
Thanks mate, honestly for audio I would just manually line them up after and mute the irrelevant tracks. Gives me full control and it's easy enough to sync up by eye after the fact. It's what I do when I'm using audio from different sources.
Excellent tutorial Mark, definitely pinning this one to my favourites. It always helps when there is a sync clap. I can't tell you enough how frustrating it is when the cameras don't line up because the shooters didn't clap :D
It’s easy thing to do and you can do it at the end if forgotten off the top. Important to obviously cut the camera at any point without a re clap as well. So many things to consider while MC shooting as well. Could do a whole thing on those alone. ;)
Thanks for the comment mate. You’re last time lapse video was amazing by the way.
how do u undo the sequence to bring your clips back to an individual state?
It just creates a new seq you can can always go back to your original sequence and clips at any time.
It doesn’t modify your footage, it just creates a new realm for them to work in.
Oh yes!! Thank you soo much! saved me so much headache!!!!
Definitely gonna subscribe for more of those tips.
Hopefully it works out for you mate! Best of luck!
Very helpful. Nice one for mentioning the button editor. I got lost on a previous tut looking for that for like a half hour
That button editor! Make or break the tutorial lol. thanks mate.
tentacle sync e. there's no substitute for lower-end production work. Plenty at high end. But irrelevant. Works as well as any.
Very nice tip on the clapping. I had no idea. I'm still using Windows Movie Maker. lol. I've got Adobe Premiere Pro, but hate the layering. I'm glad to discover your channel for tips via Eh Joe's collab.
Use whatever works :) Premiere is good, but it might be a bit overkill.
Check out resolve, from black magic. It’s really great program and the free version is very capable.
I made a mistake and had different shutter speed and resolution settings on two cameras. Is it still possible to edit them together? Thanks for your help
You can yes, it might look a little weird, but you can do it.
How do i color grade each clip differently after Ive created the multicam sequence?
Probably should have covered that. You need to access the SOURCE clip. Go into the PROCESSED CLIPS. DOUBLE CLICK on the ORIGINAL SOURCE. It will open up in the SOURCE MONITOR and that's where you need to apply the COLOUR EFFECT. Just drag the colour Lumetri tool into that source clip and from there you can grade it like you normally would. It will apply that grade to your new grouped sequence.
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
@@MarkHoltze Thanks. Switching to premiere from Vegas has been quite a learning curve. Nothing against Vegas. Just wanted to learn Premiere.
@@joebob2311productions Anytime you switch its a bit crazy. I'm an editor and mostly cut in AVID, but I've had to learn these for a few shows I've worked on. The general rule is 2 weeks in a program and you start to feel comfortable. It's always super frustrating taking longer to do things out the gate where you were able to do them super quick before.
Good luck mate!
i am an beginner in premier this is very good example of how to mix multi camera but i didn't know how to synchronize all cams together with the clap ? i think you didn't enplane here how
You simply put a "mark in" at the clap point. I prob should have showed that, but I found it a bit confusing dropping back outside that settings window. 2:41 is the time stamp. Before i went into that control panel I simply did a "mark in" on every camera at the clap point. The system based on my audio preference setting "in point" lined up the multi camera sequence between all cameras at that "mark in" point for all cameras.
Hopefully that makes sense mate.
@@MarkHoltze thank you very much mate you've been more than helpful thanks again mate
@@mamdooha My pleasure mate! Any further questions don't hesitate.
What to do when one of the cameras won't synchronise? I don'T understand why, it got the best quality of all 3... thanks!
When and how do you color correct when all cameras are all off colors and expousere? it is really tricky. i had two3 different cameras, (two same brand but different mocel, and a total different camera.) all color grading are off. how do you balance them as close as possible? Thanks
Good Tutorial, thank for the tips for Multicam shooting, thats where most of the Video Producers make mistake. Well explained
Shooting strategy is almost as critical as the MC feature itself. It's so simple up front to save hours of challenges later on.
Great video.I was just wondering though where the red round record button was in the program monitor. I’m guessing that is a newer feature? Also, the edit cameras feature that is in the program monitors wrench, is grayed out and I don’t know why. Would you? Thanks.
Mark you have a really great style bro, this has a real Peter Mckinnon kind of feel to it but somehow and can not put my finger on it but .....well you get it. Great info and delivery. Stoked to watch more.
Thanks Joe. Been shooting videos for 25 years, professionally for 18 of those so as far as the shooting/editing goes that's all pretty natural for me. The on camera stuff takes a bit more getting used to. In front of the camera is a much different beast but people connect with the face on screen so it was a necessary step to take.
Good work Mark! The winner really gets a nice lens!
What if the cameras are a bunch of ppl that filmed themselves individualy?
There are a few rules when dealing with doing a Multicam edit. One is that you keep all cameras rolling or at least initiate a "clap" as a sync point. If people are just randomly turning the camera off and on then it's probably not the best way to initiate a MultiCamera sequence edit. Better off just eyeball it.
Production and post production workflows need to be in sync for best results.
Sounds like your situation might not benefit from using the MC feature in premiere as it's meant to work with cameras that have been shot in sync.
Random production usually means a random post production workflow. Hope that helps mates, could be exceptions to your project.
@@MarkHoltze oh! Thanks for the quick response, man!
Well i'm doing some sort of a music video, but due to the quarantine the musicians had to film by themselves in their houses. I added a metronome in the beginning of the track so they could play as synchronized as possible, you think it will work as the clap to sync in all of the videos?
Super
tutorial is between from 1:33 and 6:00
Should have time stamped this one! Thanks mate!
One FCX fanboi disliked this video 😂
Lol! I just saw this now.
how to use picture in picture in multi camera mode?
im not kidding. I was just watching Peter McKinnons Cheap lighting set up on a budget video (From 2 years ago).... the end segment, showing the B-Roll of the stuff he used, he had a song playing - I go to find how to edit multi cam in Premiere and I just clicked your video (First video I am choosing to watch) and you are playing THE EXACT SAME SONG hahahah anyhow, i am about to check your video out! lol
That dang EPIDEMIC soundtrack is EVERYWHERE man! lol. Well hope it helps you out mate.
@@MarkHoltzeit did help me! Thank you for your video! I subbed! God Bless you!
Appreciate that mate, same to you my friend. Enjoy your weekend!
i just wanna know how to edit in multicamera window like ghetto ass sony vegas did ten years ago i am not trying use 7000 cams from one event or make a new sequence. i just wanna know how to take 20 clips in an existing timeline and turn on a multi all at once editing on the fly feature like basic ass low rent vegas did in the 1800s
But this is premiere and it’s how they do it. Are those 20 clips 20 diff cameras recording the same thing or? You set it up this way and you can.
Hi!
My camera (Akaso V50 Pro) offers three options: 4K 30fps, 1080 60fps, and 720 120fps.
I'm very confused about shooting options and editing (probably in Adobe Premiere Pro). FPS/resolution?How should I export a video to capture 4K 30 fps and 1080 60 fps (some parts of the video I want in real time,some in slow motion)? Thanks :)
Well you'll select your SEQ setting as either 4k or a 1080 one. You can mix framerates in the same sequence so choose what frame rate and resolution you want to output at and go from there. Obviously I'm assuming you want the 60 and 120 in slow motion. You can right click on that footage in your footage bin and go to "modify" and "interpret" type in 23.976 and it will play all the 60 and 120 slow motion.
Just make sure if you've shot those frame rates you set your shutter speed to 1/125 and 1/250 (shutter speed is double frame rate).
It's a big question so go ahead with any follows ups if you need mate.
Thanks dude! Helped me alot
No problem Aaron, glad it helped mate.
I had a problem, when I cut to another camera the V1 doesn't cut it just changes in view but not in edit line. What am I doing wrong? Anyone guess? lol Sorry, first timer. Great tutorial Mark! Thanks
Great tutorial video.👍🏿 However,how do I add multiple camera angles in one premiere pro sequence setting without creating another sequence? Thanks for feedback.
Thanks Mark! You explained it very well 😊 this will surely help the projects im working on!
Happy to hear that mate! Best of luck with your work!
great tips. must subscribed
Thanks Syarif! Hope you're well mate.
Thanks for this video! How you go back and rescale a clip after it has been completely sequenced? I need to reframe my Camera 3 and have it applied to the entire Nest Sequence without going one by one, cut to cut :/
Adobe doesn't cut audio which is frustating as I edit video interviews and have to often cut pauses between host and guest. FCPX does a much better job.
What do you mean doesn’t cut audio?
@@MarkHoltze IN multi-cam settings when you switch cameras it only cuts the video clips. In most cases there are pauses - instructions given to guests not to talk over each other - and we need to cut out those pauses. In Premiere it doesn't cut audio so you have to manually cut audio clips to crop. On FCPX it cuts everything so it saves hours.
Most likely because often times the cameras are using a single mic source and most people don’t want to switch audio source for every camera cut. You can group your mic sources and I think of you highlight the clips in the Multicam sequence you can “link” them. But a lot of the time a cut in video doesn’t require a cut in audio.
But that’s a super cool feature in fcpx that is by default.
@@MarkHoltze Yes. That adds more minutes and that is why working on Premiere is more expensive than working on FCPX. I am a journalist and FCPX make me more efficient.
@@SwapnilBhartiya I edit network tv and film series and we do everything in AVID Media Composer. When Final Cut moved from 7 to X the companies around who were using FCP moved over to Premiere and the Media Composer post facilities stayed with that.
In my experience the faster you get the higher the workload gets. I cut multi camera stuff all the time and I'm always making different audio cuts to my picture cuts.
It really depends on what you're working on. I'm software agnostic, to me it's just a tool that helps me get the job done.
Thanks for the additional info!
Thank for the video. We used to have different cameras on different layers and after cutting, we color correct each cam by copy and paste the RGB curves throughout each layer. As different cam needs to be corrected differently, this works well. However, this multi-cam editing method packs every cam into a single layer. May I know how can I color correct each cam like I used to?
Hi mate, correct the master clip. So go to media bin, double click and inmyour effects tab it should say master clip. You can correct that one and it will carry through. I normally do the longer way and create adjustment layers for each camera and just paste it over top of the selected camera when I’m done. Most of our stuff goes out for final online editing so all the embedded grading gets sacked anyway.
Either way works, depending on your workflow.
Hope that helps mate.
Thank you so much!!! Helps a lot with my editing Homework!!
Study hard Anthony ;) it’s just the beginning editing for 20 years and I’m still learning stuff 😆
Great tutorial, thank you
Glad you found it helpful Chris. Good luck mate
Hi, Is there any way i can switch the multi cam clips without having to play a video them switch in real time like we do Davinci Resolve?
Not sure how it is in cc2019, but in cc2018, when on pause, you can change/select a camera angle by Ctrl + Mouse click (it adds a cut at a current playhead position).
@@bazilio8258 OK, Thanks
Seriously the most helpful tutorial so far on my most recent project.
Question though, would there be a playback quality benefit to doing these cuts if I pre-render the timeline below before I make them? I know its before cuts are made, but I did an hour long stream and I'm having issues with playback quality since the files are 20+ GB each. I'm already using an external SSD, and have playback down to 1/8 (as low as it'll let me go.) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Before this I was beat matching 5 cameras so thank you!
I would try a pre render, I haven’t had any playback issues myself so I can’t say 100% but that should handle it.
Render go have lunch come back and cut much faster :)
Thanks brother!
Pleasure mate. Good luck
Thanks a lot. I want to ask and wish you understand what I mean. How can I while editing, see my steps in my tv screen, I mean I edit and in same time see it through the big screen?
You must need a second monitor. Do you have an HDMI connector to your computer? You can get an adapter that plugs into a TV and do it that way.
@@MarkHoltze yes, I have.
I also tv hd screen.
My laptop also have hdmi output
But how can I make the setting in adobe premiere.
This is super handy. I'm your sub now. Thanks
Thanks mate. Let me know if you have any questions.

Great! Thanks.
My pleasure! Good luck Martin!
Congratz winner !
Hey I got a question since you kinda have experience with multicams, you mention that cameras need to be on same White Balance, ok that's cool but is there risk that even that being settled you still need to CC the differences? It probably the fact, but I was wondering what do you do in those situation.
If you have three cameras that are the same brand with similar brand lenses than they SHOULD be good. I mean you would normally ALWAYS grade, but you could apply what you did to camera 1 to 2 and 3 as long as the exposures etc were correct. You run into problems when the temperatures vary wildly as you have to colour correct the two differently just to get the same look. It's so easy to white balance or at the very least have every camera at the same colour temperature.
Makes life in post much easier, time is better spent making the edit better vs correcting :)
Hope that helps.
Solid information.
Glad it was helpful!
With 15+ yrs of experience in Premiere Pro, this is my first ever multicam edit, so I really appreciate this video. Although, when I go to render my timeline, it won't even begin the render. It's like I have a couple corrupt nested timelines. I've deleted my preferences, rebooted the computer, etc. covered all the basics. So I'm just wondering if you've ran into this before in one of these multicam edits. I've spent most of the day trying to pinpoint which timelines, and troubleshoot.
Hmmm, that's strange. I'll be honest...I use AVID most of the time for my big editing projects (it's just what the stuff I cut is cut on) so I don't have a crazy amount of MC experience in Premiere Pro apart from the basic stuff. All that stuff has worked properly for me so I'd have to muck around a bit and troubleshoot.
I actually have worked on one big premiere project for VICE and THEY GAVE me the footage stacked, they didn't even bother to multi cam it. I never asked why I just worked with the stacked cameras which was a bit of a pain, but it kept things at least where I knew where they were and could easily fix any issues I had.
I would contact Adobe support as they probably have the answer there. Wish I could help you out mate.
@@MarkHoltze Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I'll be contacting Adobe tomorrow if I haven't found a work-around by then. I've pinpointed a couple of places in the stack that refuse to render, so I might be able to replace those spots with the original clip at that TC. I agree this is weird.
@@stackstudios I would love to know what they tell you. I'm sure at some point I'm going to be cutting a big project on Premiere and it will be using MC so just how to avoid the situation if it comes up. Really wish I could help you out mate, best of luck with it!
@@MarkHoltze I'll keep you updated whether this work-around works or what they say. Thanks again!
@@MarkHoltze For the record, my work-around worked. I had to find the raw clips at the very point that was problematic, and on the final timeline I replaced those spots. It was like something about the multicam stack at about 2 or 3 locations became corrupt, because the original clips were just fine.
Hi Mark, is it possible to add an extra camera after you have started editing?
Very good question, I unfortunately don't have the answer to as I've never had to work like that before.
Good discussion here about it though - community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/add-new-camera-midway-through-multicam-editing/td-p/10737171?page=1
Mark - This is the best video I've seen on Multi-Camera Editing (I've watched 20+). Thank you!!! Every time I Create MultiCam Source sequence I get different results depending if I put them in a bin like you suggest or just select all without creating a bin gives a "Can't synchronize... error on some clips. Why is Premier so inconsistent? Same settings same clips same process? Both 4k but one is 60fps and the other 30fps with audio triggers.
When it does work the worst part is after I'm done editing I save as and my edited sequence disappears. This only happens in Multi-Cam Editing. Also, I have a loaded machine and there are playback problems as well. Thought I was a novice maybe I should go back to 101. lol
I’ll be honest I never really use it. I just stack my video cameras and cut the old fashion way. Avid multi camera is flawless, Premiere is decent but ya it boggles down the system depending on the camera video quality if not working with proxies.
Glad it was able to help you, I figured if I was gojng to do a video on it I should make it as clear as possible. Also why I like to sync everything manually with claps. I let the system handle none of that lol.
@@MarkHoltze Thanks Mark - I switched to 2 Hero 7's and Claps and working much better. But you are right doing it the old fashion way is better and not that much a time suck.
Hey great work Mark, & I just Subbed... can you help me out with this question please:
I’ve just started editing project, that’s a 3 camera interview. The problem I have is that only 1 of the camera feeds runs right across the interview.

record that! no need to cut the video.. you can switch the camera, and you record it.
Live switch, yup. I think I mentioned that. It’s nice, but often i find the cut is always few frames off so I always end up modifying the cut point after the fact. Great place to get a good rough cut going though :)

How do you "uncut" the realtime multicam cuts?
I don't know if this is the BEST way to do it, but I just do this: alt/option click the shot, delete, trim to fill the gap.
@@MarkHoltze I see. Thanks for replying so fast. I couldn't get the alt/option thing to work, but I was able to just delete the cut and then drag the previous clip to fill the gap. But please tell me if you know the ideal keyboard shortcuts to map for those commands.
@@LastDollie My pleasure mate sorry it wasn't direct help. I actually don't have a shortcut for that specifically. I just use the combination cut and mouse drag similar to you.
Super cool Tutorial! If somebody can help me out with one problem: One clip was not possible to be synchronized automaticaly...how can i move it manually in the timeline? It was not even included into the clip as it seems...
You should sync from Mark In position. So mark all your clips to sync and choose that option when you go to group them
@@MarkHoltze Thanks for the lightningspeed solution, finaly i just droped the multi-sequence into the timeline, added the missing track and created a new clip from the edited sequence :)
@@OnStageSH My pleasure mate, I always do "MARK IN" in points so I have full control over that sync point. Auto does a decent job, but it's too much of a pain to go back and have to re-do it if it didn't work.
I also love little unconventional workarounds as well :)
you are such a legend
Three cameras is not overkill if you are interviewing two people.
perfect for two, wide and two close ups. I had one redundant angle there, it was the hi 8 but I just wanted an excuse to shoot with it ;)
What about changing scale of the video clips after the multi cam edit? If I change the scale will effect only that one clip or the whole group of angles from that camera? (Hope that made sense?)
You can change the scale of the clip the same way you would in your sequence. If you put cuts on either side of the clip you want to scale it will only scale that one in your edit timeline.
Good video for Multicam but as for yourself, you need to learn to trust your auto-focus on your Canon :)
Totally 😂
Perfectly explained. Many thanks!
My pleasure mate!
Hi, I didn't see where you manually synced the clips? My 2 clips did not sync correctly doing it this way. I did not see a way to manually adjust clips together. I went back and used audio sync. This worked. I clapped in my video as well . I would like to know how you synced your clips. Thanks, Matt
You have to Mark in on the clips at the clap points. Then sync by Mark in. It might be different now, they have changed some things since 2018...but Mark IN on your clips first then follow the screen instructions snd it should work.
@@MarkHoltze Thank you so much for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely try that. Great video

Hey Rasmus just discovered Mark, really awesome how talent just seems to run in the same circles. Peace
Question, do you encounter any problems in multi-cam editing in Premiere Pro when combining two or three different codecs and their proxies so long as the frame rate is the same? Thanks.
Ya they’re fine, just have to keep that frame rate the same. Everything else should line up and function fine. ✊
It works great when all the camera shots have audio, but what do I with the cam that doesnt have audio?
The way I demonstrated I'm only using the audio from CAMERA 1. I'm not using the audio from the hi8 or 6Dii at all. I always manually choose a sync point as I demonstrated in this video. this is why I clapped at the top of it to visually set my in point on all three cameras. I don't ever personally rely on just the audio as it is not always accurate,
@@MarkHoltze Thanks for the reply. I also clapped and used inpoint, but all camera shots are still not in sync.
That’s very strange. No break in recording? What’s the setup you had?
Did you shoot at the same frame rate for all cameras?
@@MarkHoltze lol no I didn't. It was different from the rest. 23.9 vs 60

You will have to manually sync those unfortunately. OR you could thread together one master timeline and just manually sync it with an "in" point. That's how I would do it.

I have a wee problem, it might be a good followup video.
Two of my three cameras max out at 1080p, so that's what i did. The third supports 2160p, so I did that, Now, I want to make a multicam sequence at 1080p, cropping the 2160p (to change framing).
Thank you for this great tutorial, it really helped me get started on my first multi cam editing tonight!🙏🏼😊
My pleasure! Happy to be of service! Good luck with your project! How many cameras?
Mark Holtze Only two for this one, and a separate sound track from the mixer (concert recording). Gotta start somewhere!☺️
Good place to start!! Best of luck with it!!
Can we work together Trine?
I know this is an old video. Thank you for the refresher.
My pleasure, I figured this one would ave well. Transitions are trendy, but everybody need MC 😂
i wish you could configre premiere to make the cut half a second before the point when you change camera. This multi cam editing works fine with locked off cameras, but if your cameras move, by the time you've seen the move and cut away, you need to move the cut point back a few frames. If only premiere would do that for you then I'd be using this all the time but as it is, this fundamental flaw of multi cam editing means I never use it.
Typically never cut in real time, the strength of it is being able to switch back and forth conveniently, but I don’t think it’s assuming you’re doing the majority of that while the playback is happening real time. Pause where you want the cut, make the change and play. I’ve been editing th series for 18 years, recently a show with 19 cameras and I’ve never ever made cuts in real time. That’s using avid and it’s got a much better multi cam system than premiere does. I always pause playback, then move on. But that’s just me, we all do things differently ✊
Not gonna lie, at 5:22, when one of his icons jumped at the bottom of the screen, I actually thought it was on my computer.
How do I put up multiple cameras in one frame?
