DR-HD100 clips to be used in Multicam Edit

Hi Guys
I have to JVC GY-HD111s each with its own DR-HD100 hard disk recorder. I am recording 720p25 quicktime movie to these, but the DR-HD100 splits the quicktime files into 1.86GB files. I need to make these multiclips for multicam editing, how do i merge all these files to 2 files i can match together for multicam editing.

The best way is to have your co-workers download the free QuickTime Player for Windows.
Better yet, have your boss watch it on QTfW and send an email out telling everybody else to watch it.

When i use the blade tool to cut a clip in an angle during multicam editing, i can't move the clips afterwards. it's like they are stuck together. ?????? Thanks, Mircea

Hi,
I'm using 10.0.7. It's like snapping won't turn off. Instead ,if i use the keyboard to nudge the clips, there's no problem. I am using that at the moment.
1. when i try to drag
2. when i nudge:
3. snapping is off.
Thanks,

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
The more automated processes the better.
Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

How do I share video clips with others using the Starter Edition?

I have many videos on my Photoshop Album Starter Edition account. Is there a way to share videos using the Starter Edition program?

I wonder the same thing. The icloud.com web page is pretty rediculous as of now. What's the point of the page? Ive got an iphone that has my email, calendar, photos, etc.. what does the icloud page do? I think it's a work in progress cause I dont see a need to log onto it since my devices have all the info on it already? Yes, Id like to be able to log onto the icloud from work and see the pictures in my cloud.

Best Practices CS6 - Multicam Edit: How to use a key?

I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to use the Multi-cam editing function of CS6 PP, while applying a key to the primary video track.
The workflow I have is V1 contains the background that I want to key into V2. I applied UltraKey to V2, did the key (works great), and now I want to use the multicam editing to cut between the finished keyed V2 track, and video on V3. The way I've always used the Multicam editing in the past is to select the video clips from the clip browser (not the timeline) to create a multicam source sequence - but if I have to apply a key first, I can't do that. I thought of nesting V1 and V2 together after the key is applied, but then I can't make adjustments to the key after the final composite is made (or can I?)
Any thoughts about what works best in this scenario? appreciate the help.

I don't think my system could support live keying. I'd prefer to apply the key first but this is where I had a problem. Let's assume for a minute that there's no key. In a typical MCS workflow, I'd just select the clips from the browser, create the MCS, do the live cuts and be done with it. If I can still do that it's fine, but would that screw everything up in the MCS if I move all the video up one track because the background for the key has to be in front of the video that it's being applied to? I hope I'm making sense here.

Can you see which timeline clips are being used in Media Browser?

I'm a relatively new user and may not be familiar enough with cs5.5 but
is there a way to see what clips are being used on the editing timeline in the media browser.
I open premiere pro - Project is loaded. I edit the scene until it is finished.
When I look over at the media browser, all my raw clips (some of which I'm
using on the editing timeline) look the same - I can't tell which ones I using on the timeline.
The reason I ask - when I fiinish editing a scene it would be nice to glance over at the
media brower folder where my raw clips are located - easily see which ones I'm using because they
are highlighted or checked and then delete the ones I no longer need.
Is there a way to do this now?
Thanks
Jeff

I dont think so but a better way is to look in the top of the Project Window and there is a drop down that will show you all the useage instances of the clip. You can click on them to go to them in the timeline.

How do I do multicam editing in final cut pro 10.2?

I updated to FCP 10.2 and when I right click on my videos that I want to use for multicam editing it shows nothing

I think you're selecting clips in the timeline… not in the browser, which is where you need to work when you create multi clips. .

Multicam Editing Bug!!

So I have a project that is using 3 HD cameras and a Zoom Audio recorder for the master audio track, the project is about 35 mins. All the cams and audio were synced up perfectly, however the problem is....a shot from the camera showed up again in the Canvas but the shot I want shows in the Angle Viewer at the same time. Yes, the Canvas shows a different shot other than what is selected in the Angle Viwer. The Angle Viewr has the correct shot but the Canvas/Timeline does not....this is the second time I seen this happen, before I had to completely start my edit over again and it has me livid! I wonder why this is happening....anyone?? I this a known bug?? Please help I'm going crzy with this!!

strange bug. i dont know how to fix it, but a work around might be to make manual edits when you stop and go back, instead of using the multicam edit window.
can change keyboard shortcut for "Add Edit" , default is ctrl+k, but if you change it to something easier like just s for split or c for cut, then you can work faster. just have to be in the timeline window for the shortcut key to work. after making edit point, select new clip in multicam to use. this might stop it from changing the camera angle of the previous edit. locking the audio track or selecting the video clip sequence will keep it from adding an edit to all tracks.

HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

How to extend clips after multicam editing.

I recently learned how to use multicam editing and I think it is such a fantastic tool. One of the things that I struggled with, however, is the ability to extend/shorten one of the clips because the footage was too shaky during the transition to another clip.
For example: Clip A is playing and recording on the timeline. But Clip A becomes shaky so I switch to Clip B. After everything is done, and I play it back, I see that shaky footage towards the end of Clip A.
How do I extend Clip B so that it extends over Clip A to get rid of the shaky footage?

The "Roll" tool. Click between 2 clips and roll the edit left or right.

Can you apply fx to individual clips after a multicamera edit? CS6

I have footage from a 5 camera shoot of a concert. What I want to do is perform a multicamera edit to choose what angles I want to use. After the edit, I would need to go back and apply warp stabilizer to any sections that need it. One of the cameras has a telephoto zoom and another is on a dolly track; there are certain points where these angles need warp stabilizer, and other times where they do not need warp stabilizer. I do not want to have to apply warp stabilizer to 2 and a half hours of footage from two cameras when much of that footage does not need stabilized.
Is there a way to first perform the multicamera edit, then go back and apply fx such as warp stabilizer, color correction, etc, to individual clips that need it?

Thanks! I didn't want to go through the whole process and find out I had to do it all over again.
Off to give it a try.

How do I perform a multicam edit in PPro CS6 using Plural Eyes?

So I'm new to multicam editing in CS6. I've recently upgraded from CS3 (yeah, it's been awhile). I'm editing a wedding on a Windows 7 machine with mostly DSLR's (start and stop clips). My workflow was going to be to sync through Plural Eyes and then all the clips would be synced on the timeline and I could create a multicam sequence from there. But apparently, you can't do that like you could in CS3. It seems that multicam was easier to do in CS3 almost. Has anyone been able to sync multiple DSLR clips on the timeline and use the multicam feature? I would love to be able to do this but not sure how to go about it or if it's even possible. Thanks for any of your help!

CS6 does add an additional method of creating a multicam sequence, but the old method there from the beginning still works just fine.

Multicam edit does not generate clips

Trying to do a multicam edit.Two cameras. When going through the process of selecting cam 1 or cam 2 the small blue marker appears on the timeline as it should. Once I have completed my selection the blue markers just disappear and no individual clips are made.
Any help will be more than welcome.

As Kevan noted you may be using the "switch" function as opposed to the "edit" function. If you're using keyboard shortcuts, then to make an edit to angle 1 means you would select cmd-1
If it's not that then make sure you don't have a locked track somewhere in the mix. I wonder if you may even have deselected the auto-select button (not sure if that would impact it or not)
Barring these suggestions you may just simply try trashing preferences, repairing permissions and re-booting the computer.
Good luck

Selecting Multiple Clips from Same Angle in Multicam Project

I edit motor sport events using up to 8 camera angles. Once I have edited the multicam I will generally reduce the overall audio level of the entire multicam edit. Invariably certain camera positions will have a higher audio level than others. In FCP 7 I would adjust the audio of one such clip angle, copy the clip, then simply cmd+f and input the name of the angle clips I want to adjust, then paste attributes and select audio as the attribute I want to adjust.
In FCP X I cannot find a way of doing this..... It appears I have to scroll along the timeline and cmd select each clip.... which is a nonsense. I should be able to select every clip of one particular angle. Am I missing something? This should be really easy to select every clip from one particular angle, but I have yet to find a way to do it and it is vital I can do this to save time. Nothing in the help files.

You can't select all the individual clips in the multicam edit.... All of the clips in the multicam are titled the same way...." Multicam xxxxxx". If they appeared as Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3 etc. You could select the individual angles as I need to do, but they are not listed that way.
To adjust the audio in the angle editor so that the audio from each camera was the same maximum db level, I would need to be able to "normalise" the audio from each angle to, for example -18db. In FCP X they have removed the normalise audio feature, which is such a nuisance As I used that a lot in FCP 7 to get audio to max at the required level. I can't adjust the audio in one angle until I have them edited side by side and can see the difference in db between them.
Any other ideas?

Multicam Edit - One clip shifted

Hi folks,
I'm editing a multicam concert shoot in miniDV format in FCP 6.0.5.
Although the cameras had timecode, they had different offsets,
and using the multicam offset adjustment (ctl-shift-drag)
produced some really bizarre behavior, so I went back and
set in-points using an audio cue, recreated the multiclip
syncing with the in-points, dragged the multiclip into a timeline,
and then dragged the beginning of the multiclip to the left so
I could get all the footage before the in-points.
The resulting sync was very tight.
Now I have been editing a few minutes of this 50-minute take,
and one clip is getting weird. Every time I cut to it, it appears
in the timeline with a out-of-sync indicator. Every instance is
off by 8 frames. I can resync it (double-click, then ctl-option)
using the "pull in to sync" menu item, but it's still quite strange
that the clip seems to think it's offset in the first place.
Another clip in the multiclip seems to have drifted in sync
as well, although there is no numerical indication.
Has anyone experienced this? There are a lot of edits done
and a lot more to do.
Thanks for your time!
Les

Thanks for your responses.
Kevan, I don't think the problem is timecode breaks because I set FCP
to abort on dropped frames when I captured. It makes sense, however,
that miniDV camcorders can drift.
Michael, I certainly plan on keeping the option open for chopping the
performance into multiple multiclips.
I think the problem is "dragging the beginning of the multiclip to the left."
Perhaps, but what do you do when the only clear moment for syncing
all four cameras happens well into the first song? It's a real pity that all
cameras were not running when the clapperboard was struck!
The strange thing I'm experiencing is that sync seems to drift AFTER
I have the multiclip made, AFTER I've dragged the beginning of the
multiclip to the left. It's as if the act of editing has moved the sync.
It's a sunny morning here in northern California. I'm going to have
another coffee and look at this problem with fresh eyes.
