Multicam (easy) options request

PostMon Jun 26, 2017 3:59 pm

Hi there,

As an experienced multicam editor (or at least very used to ;) ), I'm chaining shows edits one after another these days...

Consequently, I noticed 2 things that could be really improved, one minor, one super cool :

1/it's a bit a pity we have to select ISOs (isolated angles) in the Media Pool only to synchronize tracks, selecting stacked ones on a TL would be a lot more flexible.
Why ? At least for those who use Plural Eyes generated XMLs, which result in stacked tracks already synced in Resolve, btw the same way you find them when you "decompose" a multicam file or "Open in TL".
I think it's highly doable, and it would be a "sync as you are on the TL"

2/ More important and specific : easy fine resync.
Say your multicam file's done and open in the viewer... For some reasons, you see - right in the viewer, aside other angles - that one is a bit unsynced : so far I'm not aware of any other way to open it in a TL > drag the unsynced track or use "." or ";" to slide it left or right > close it to find your multicam again...
I knew such an easier way to do it that I had to suggest it here : middle click on the unsynced angle right in the viewer and slowly slide left or right. Super precise, super fast.

Ah, by the way, while we're at it, one line is not correct in page 401 of DVR 14 manual.

I found it when I was looking for a quick way to resync a track as you may read in my post above : when you open a Multicam file on a TL, you must double-click the first folder name (and not the file name if I remember well) to close it and find again your multicam file.

So what's written here on the attached pic is to be corrected ;)

End of my 2 cts on multicam part of Resolve.
Btw I'm on a mac but not sure it's important here.

Actually you should DOUBLE-CLICK, and on Music Videos, not Multicam in this exemple

The way I read it the manual tells you to click on Music Video in that example.
