Can the ATEM create a multicam timeline rather than just a cut timeline?

I'd rather have that so that I can switch angles in post when I need to, such as add a few more cuts, etc., than was done in the live switch.

It's nice to have a timeline, but it's more limiting having just the cuts rather than a multicam where it's possible to switch to any of the 8 cameras in post.

Thanks!

Euh is EDL not just that what you asking for?

BMD does not do proper EDL logging.. But there are tools for that, Free and paid.

No. But I did find another thread with users with the same problem. I'd searched before posting this, but couldn't find it then....

Here's a longer thread:

Isn't that what the ISO line of products do? individual camera recordings which can be sync in post to produce another version of the recorded show.

It isn't. It creates a timeline with hard cuts. If you want to change the angle, you have to sync the clips.

Yes, it does ISO the cameras, from which you can manually create a multicam and start over on your edit. But it would be a much better workflow to get a multicam timeline where you can just tweak what you already have.

So, you can slide an edit, but can't switch an angle, pregrade an angle, slip a camera for better audio sync, etc.

For my question, the answer is no; for your answer, yes, but not the best way.

Got you.
