Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras?

Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras? The old fashioned way is just to simply put multiple video clips into multiple video tracks in Final Cut, right? Then I can transition the tracks as I see fit.
Multicam in Final Cut Pro simply improves upon this by hard synching timecodes right?
As an amateur, do I really need multicam features in Final Cut Pro in order to make a movie from multiple camera angles?

Will it make your editing tasks more efficient? Not
likely. Multicam is an advanced feature of FCP. It
requires knowing how most of the application's basic
operations are performed.
I have to disagree with bog in that multicam is all about efficiency and being able to quickly set-up and edit what could normally take a lot longer. But he is totally correct in that it is a strange set-up with some strange behaviors so if you don't know what you're doing and plan accordingly it could take a lot longer and be a lot more frustrating than the 'old fashioned' way.
I think it's also important to note that multi-cam is way more than just the "real time" switching of the multiclip in the viewer as it plays back. If you can take time to learn the ins and outs of multi-cam then you can use some features on some jobs and other features at other times. An amateur can do anything that the FCP software because it's there in front of you so play play play!

  • IPhoto 2011. Created an album from different cameras (different filenames), placed pics in order in album but want to export into new folder on desktop in same order. Can I number the pics within iPhoto to reflect that order, or simply export in order?

    iPhoto 2011. I have created an album from different cameras (different filenames), and placed pics in order in the iphoto album but want to export into a new folder on the desktop in that same order. Can I number the pics within iPhoto to reflect that order, or simply export in order? 
    Thanks!

    File -> Export, and note the options under File Name
    Another way:
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Need help - creating QT movies from iPhoto slide shows

    I am creating QT movies from slideshows in iPhoto. I then put the QT movies on a CD. I am having no trouble doing this, but if I give the CD to a Windows user, will she be able to view it? If not, is there any way to make it Windows compatible? Are there any other problems I should be aware of before I give these QT movies for Christmas gifts?

    Any PC user that has QuickTime 5, or higher, installed will be able to view your iPhoto slide show movies on the CD.
    You must use the Finder to guarantee a PC compatible CD, however.

  • How to create an invoice from multiple sales doc.

    Hi,
    how to create an invoice from multiple sales doc.
    thanx,
    sourav

    hello, friend.
    assuming that your settings in VTFA and VTFL allow, you can create 1 invoice for many sales orders or deliveries by using VF04.  choose all documents that apply and click "collective billing document". 
    you can also click on "simulation" if you want to test if the combination is possible and the system will give you a split analysis if this is not possible.
    regards.

  • I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

    I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

    You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
    Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi.  (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)

  • Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

    Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

    If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples :  LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
    Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

  • Using ME57 to create an RFQ from multiple lines on multiple PRs

    When using ME57 to create RFQs how can I select multiple line items from multiple purchase requisitions to turn into a single RFQ. If I select multiple lines and then use 'RFQ with Vendor', it only selects one line item.  After further research it appears that you can only create only line at a time (very time consuming). 
    If you use ME41 and create with reference to PR then you can not sort or filter columns to allow for easy consolidation.
    Another forum recommended the following when using ME57 which works but it again adds extra steps to the process.
         The whole process is as follows -
         1) When you are in the 'Assign and Process Purchase Requisition' screen, select related PR and then click on 'Without Vendor' icon to flag all PRs for RFQ processing.
         2) Select these PRs again and click further on 'Assignment Overview' icon (Shift and F5). The next screen will appear - Assign and Process requisitions - Overview of Assignments screen.
         3) Select the 'PReq' column and then click further on 'Process Assignment' icon (F2). The next screen will appear where you have to maintain the 'quotation deadline' information.
         4) Then click on 'Continue' icon (enter).
    [http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=198768]
    So is there any way to either 1) enable sorting of data in ME41 or 2) use ME57 to create one RFQ from multiple line items of multiple purchase requisitions when selecting 'RFQ with Vendor'.

  • Working on iPad2, I can create new albums from digital camera imports in Photos; however, when the album is automatically imported into iPhoto, it has lost its custom photo or ding and replaced it with a chronological order. How do I reorder them?

    Is there a way to preserve the album order and format when it moves from Photos to iPhoto for easy export sharing or advanced sideshow treatments? Can I create the albums on the iPad in iPhoto and format with custom photo ordering? Or do I have to carry and work in Mac?

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • Create object type from multiple tables for select statement

    Hi there,
    I have 3 tables as given below and I wish to create an object type to group selected columns as 'attribute' from multiple tables. 
    I need to create 2 input parameters to pass in - 'attribute' and 'attribute value'  in PL/SQL and these 2 parameters will be
    passing in with 'column name' and 'column value'.  e.g. 'configuration' - the column name, 'eval' - the column value.
    Then, the PL/SQL will execute the select statement with the column and column value provided to output the record. 
    Pls advise and thank you.

    Reason to do this as these fields are required to be grouped together as they are created in different tables. They are treated as 'attribute' (consists of many columns) of the part number. So, the PL/SQL is requested to design in a way able for user to pass in the column name and column value or part number, then the select statement should be able to query for the records. Another reason is a new column can be added easily without keep modifying those effected programs. Reuseable too.This basically equates to ... hard to code, hard to maintain, and poor performance.
    Are you really sure you want to do this? This isn't going to be easy-street as you seem to think it is, but it's a one way street to a poorly performing system with security vulnerabilities (google SQL Injection).
    I would highly recommend you reconsider your design decision here.

  • How to create a report from multiple dynamic XMLs

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a consolidated report that gets data from multiple XML files and each XML file is different. Although the presentation of the data will be similar, the contents of the XMLs will vary and the number of XMLs to merge will also vary.
    What I would like to understand is the following:
    * Is it possible to generate a report template based on dynamic columns where the column names, their format and number is different for each business object?
    * Is it required to generate an XML with the entire data or can the template read information from different XML files? and if so how it can be done. Please notice that the formatting of each XML may be different.
    * Is it possible to use the services to generate the reports directly? Something around these lines was mentioned in one of the sessions but it was also mentioned that it's still WIP.
    I've been using the standalone version and although I can get the desired result, I couldn't merge data from multiple XMLs.
    Is the new BIP version available, or an enterprise version that I can use?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Rich,
    Even i had a similar kind of problem. I wanted to fetch data from BI through the XMLA Connector which are created in Query Designer and then i wanted to fetch these fields and rearrange them and put it in a report format by colouring certain fields. Can the same can be done in WebDynpro.

  • I have been trying to create a movie from a project that is primarily stills and one video clip.  I cannot successfully create the movie without iMovie shutting down unexpectedly.  Any ideas for the cause of the problem?

    I am getting an unexpected shut down of iMovie when I try to share a movie from a project that is made up of still pictures, one video clip and music.  Have tried to create the movie several times with different formats and continue to get the message.  When I removed all music I was able to create the movie without a problem but when I added the music back, I was unable to create the movie.  I'm using iMoive 11' version 9.0.9
    Thanks.
    Bill

    I'm no expert in iMovie, but I've found that processing memory (as well as sheer hard disk space for the project to 'turn around in') can be a big issue with constructing, editing, and distilling projects in iMovie. I've improved the success by moving 2gb of image files off to an external drive, but only really got moving again on an hour-long project by doubling RAM and again freeing up h/d space.
    Some tunes are also an issue, but if you can see it in the iTunes list to place in your project, it should work okay... Does the project run with any other piece of music, or does just that one tune mess it up?
    Good luck,
    Laura
