Multicam tutorials

PostFri Apr 16, 2021 7:28 pm

Does anyone have multicam tutorials that can share. I am using the edit page and typically have clips with audio from 2-3 cameras as well as audio form a recorder. When I work to gather everything in the multicam viewer I end up with tons of audio files and videos all over the place.

I just need a better understand of how multicam works. Thanks all.

In Part 4 of the Reference Manual, there is a section called Multicam Editing.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Thanks Jim. I had looked at that but was unsure about the changes between the version 16 reference manual and what's happening now in version 17.

For instance, I have 32 bit audio and went to sync them to the clip and I swear it linked the 32 bit audio to the video file and made it 24 bit. I saw that this afternoon and have not yet really looked into it to see if that's what happen or what's going on.

I'm not aware of any behavioral changes to Multicam between 16 and 17.

Syncing audio to clips is a separate process, unrelated to Multicam. I don't yet use 32 bit audio. Nor do I ever use the Sync feature, so this one I'll leave for others to speak on.

Thanks for your thoughts. Looking at the multicam chapter now.
