      The automated Multicam workflow on Final Cut is a godsend!! Could you maybe do one where you have multiple clips? For instance, on a longer shoot, the average camera shoots for just under 30 mins continuously. Is there an easy way to set up Multicam clips for maybe 2-3 such clips (an overall runtime of like 1.5 hours or so)? Just as an example.Right now I normally try and cut/restart all at around the same time so as to make multiple Multicam clips, but is there an easier way? Thanks!

    Jeven thanks so much! This is exactly the setup I have (2-3 cams and separate audio), and the workflow I have been missing. Your explanation is really well organized, clear, and concise. And the quality of your lighting, exposure, grading, audio, not to mention editing of course - really excellent. One of the best video tutorials on UA-cam - nice work!

    • @gold333
      @gold333 Рік тому

      How do you want to keep 4 cams running when they are dynamically operated by camerapeople? This is what I need to know for filming dance videos. The lack of a vertical dimension to the timeline is killing me. As is the inability to edit to audio that is externally sourced

    • @ericpersson8753
      @ericpersson8753 Рік тому

      @@gold333 For a recent wedding, I used 3 cameras plus separate audio recorders, all synchronized with timecode: For the cameras, I record onto Atomos Ninja V, all synchronized with Atomos Sync modules. One camera is the master, and the others are slave, and they wirelessly sync. I use the Ultrasync for the recorder(s), and it is also linked to the master Atomos. I was able to import the 3 camera footage, plus audio from a mix-pre-10 and 3 Tentacle Track-E bodypacks and it all aligned perfectly. One thing that makes it easier is - just leave all the recorders running for the whole event, assuming you have sufficient storage on your Atomos (I put 2 TB drives on each). Then import everything and align with timecode. Then it is easy to go in and cut/delete what you don't need, and start editing the clips you do need.

    • @gold333
      @gold333 Рік тому

      @@ericpersson8753 This makes no sense. How do you want me to keep 4 camera people and a flying drone continuously shooting RAW 14 bit video for 5 hours? A dance video is tens of performances of the same 3 minute dance routine for hours. Filmed by a static wide angle cam, a dynamic close up 50mm, a face zoom from 85mm+ and a drone doing aerial shots. All cameras record the exact same body beats (body movements, choreography).
      In Premiere I could sync up all clips vertically so that the entire 3 minute edit was in sync across all cameras (clips). I.e. timestamp: 0:27:37 all dancers hip thrust. That hip thrust was in sync across all clips (all cameras) because they were stacked vertically in the timeline.
      If I said I want the static wide angle cam to hold a half second longer on the hip thrust I simply drag out and extend that clip and drag back the clip following it. -Things didn't suddenly go bouncing around the timeline destroying my overall choreography sync-. if I changed the length of a single clip.
      I can't do this in FCPX and I think its hell, because it renders faster than Premiere

      @@gold333 It seems that what worked for me is probably not a good fit for your situation - I didn't realize how much footage you are talking about.
