Multicam editing good tutorial

Hello,
i have filmed an interview with 3 cameras and want to use the audio from the two but avoid the third one while Multi editing!
i just can not figure it out how to set audio from two cameras and when i lock the video and audio i keeps jumping to audio monitor or when ever i hit play on timeline monitor of sequence keeps stopping the playing?
i have no clue what is that F...... simple step that i am missing in order to edit the interview?!
all the steps i do:
1 set in point on all of the 3 clips!
2. select them and make multiklip
3. drop them on timeline and drag to viewer windor (left one)
4. set to open.
??? what else i miss have no single idea?
any good tutorial for FCP 7 please or someone explain me the steps so can give another try?
thanks in advance

Thanks Jesse.
These particular multicam projects are part of a deal, where I have the unenviable task of having to deliver two hours of programming EVERY WEEK to a local cable provider in order to get state funding. This, of course, is only feasible partly using multicam. Taking into consideration that the audience probably numbers no more than 500 people, I have to cut corners where I can. This setup will thankfully change in October, when Danish TV goes all digital. I will then broadcast to an potential audience of may be 250.000 - but for only 30 minutes a week - alas with less funding but more satisfaction!
I abandoned Premiere because of constant crashes and am in no way trying to bash Final Cut that has proved very stable with material from EX3s. Part of the production is also available - in Danish language only - on http://www.tv-moen.dk

Multicam editing with multi-track audio?

Does anyone know how to do multicam editing with multi-track audio? Apparently, the multicam editor can only see Audio Track #1 in the Source Sequence. I tried mixing my original audio tracks #1, #2, and #3 (submixes) to the master audio track in the Source Sequence and if I listen to the new Multicam Sequence (the nested Source Sequence) all 3 original audio tracks are there (combined), but when I go to do the multicam edit in the multicam monitor window, I"m back to just Audio Track #1 of the Source Sequence and audio tracks #2 and #3 are missing ??? Thanks for your help!

I have run the gambit of different techniques. The one that is most efficient is listed in Colin Brougham's response number 9
There's a far easier way to do this: after you sync your angles, hold down Alt/Opt and select or lasso just the video portions of the clips, and nest those. The audio stays put, but the video moves into the nest, and you can then enable Multicam on the nested sequence.
One of the best things about this is that it circumvents Premiere Pro's totally BS "Render Required Files" nonsense.
I must admit the ALT lasso tip was one of the best features I have seen. Like a revelation when I discovered it some months ago while watching a tutorial about something not related. As far as the "Rendering required files" That was kicking my but for a while doing multicam editing. If you do edit both audio and video in multicam you might find the "Rendering required files" issue. Basically the problem stems from having a lot of cuts to process at the same time both audio and video. 1080P is a huge amount of data when you multiply it by four cameras plus multiple audio cuts and effects ,(audio gain, Deessing etc.) So Pre-rendering the audio by clicking in the main sync timeline and then at the top Click Sequence/Render Audio.This takes care of the issue when you are cutting multiple tracks at once. It is a good practice to work from a main sync sequence and then copy that to a new sequence preserving the main sequence as unchanged. I found the solution is to "render audio" only in the master sync sequence this will then pass through to all subsequent copies that are made "downstream" allowing you to easily clean up anything. If you make a mistake you can always start from the main sync sequence and not lose too much time. Takes a little bit of time to render but once that is done you can cut all tracks video and audio like butter. I have been doing a lot of 1080p multicam editing over this past year and had quite learning curve. Most of the work I do is multicam editing by choice it is much faster for me to edit this way because I am used to working in live events where we need to look at all shots at the same time make a "best choice" and keep rolling. Have fun with it!

CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system. I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time. But I don't want to get rid of them either. Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother? Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want? The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible. I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

GOOD tutorial for java?

Hi, I am looking for a good tutorial for java. I cant understand my teacher's lectures, because they are always presented as a slide show and she just reads the slides in a monotone voice. (Not to mention her thick asian accent). So any one?
*Note=A good tutorial is the one that shows coding examples, analysis of concepts etc

Multicam editing issue

I've been able to successfully create multicam edited squences previously but I've run into a problem I can't seem to figure out. I've followed the steps for creating a multicam form the manual and from Ken Stone's tutorial here http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/multicam_editingmartin.html, but still not luck.
I'm creating a multiclip based on in points in FCS2. The videos I'm using are H.264, 640x480, 29.97fps, the data & audio rates are different.
What's happening is after adding/creating the multiclip sequence the clip angles are not playing in the viewer and only one angle plays in the canvas. When I select the second angle I get a red render line above the entire clip. The RT settings are limited to just "Use Playback Settings" and "Full Quality".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jerry

The problem is very likely coming from the fact that FCP doesn't support h.264. It's a delivery format, not an editing format.
You'd be much better off transcoding these files to a supported editing format such as DV then creating the multiclips.

Looking for a good tutorial about cookies

Hello
I'm looking for a good tutorial ( and clear enough for newbie like me ) on how to make 1.. or 2 cookies and some tips about how to make it.
- I need to have a cookies that record and store the user preference if he is on an english browser but wish to see the french version of my website ( assume i have a browser language detection script ) and then again turn off the language detection script of the french page if you are on an english browser ( or the other way, if you choose the other way )..
- I need to have a cookies that record the fact than if you are a mobile, you came on the webpage ( and got redirected the first time to the mobile page ) and that if you choose to click the button " go to regular website", it somehow turn off the mobile detection script on the main page so that the user will be able to navigate the real website if he want to.
I have absolutly no idea how to make cookie, and even with google, i get basic information how to make cookie, call them, erase them, but not how to make them work like a twin with the other script, and not what to put inside a cookies... in short i know nothing about that ... yet....
I'm not sure if i am clear, anyway any help, or tip's will be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
I would prefer Java or Html tutorial for cookies if possible.

I am a novice, but not a rookies.
I did www.episodesoft.com It is my first project that so many feature for me. Previously i was only doing the preparation for another man who was scripting, but now i'm require to do all. My studying about html/java/css were only an introduction. I'm mainly self-learning and already learned a lot on this website.
By the way, the Cookies are for this website because right now, it detect the mobile and redirect you. It will also detect ( script ready but disabled ) the language to redirect you to the english version of the website ( currently under construction ).

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

Multicam editing fcp 6 ? How to do it.

Hi. can anyone explain how to do multi camera editing to me please. This will be the first time we have tried this and would love to know the pitfalls and what you have to do to make it work well. We are doing it on DV even though it was shot on digi beta then will conform the final edit.
Thanks
Martin

Here's two resources for ya.

The video is pretty boring in the beginning because the speaker talks about the benefits of being certified. Who wants to hear that?!? But afterwards the video is pretty informative. It's kind of funny he goes off about being certified in the beginning but during the tutorial he fumbles trying to find certain menu options.
There's plenty more if you just Google multicam editing Final Cut Pro
Also the video tutorial explains how to combat the issue Shane mentioned previously of selecting different video feeds while maintaining one audio channel.

Multicam Editing reloaded

Hi!
I do understand and have used grouping multiple clips into a multiclip to use the multiclip editing feature of FCP or in my first life Avid.
You sync up a bunch of camera angle by timecode or inpoints. If all the cameras rolled all the way trough the event and the clip from each cameratape is roughly the same lenght its a breeze and fun to edit a concert or live event. So far so good.
A few weeks back someone dumped a heap of tapes onto my desk. Live footage from five 1,5h gigs with up to 12 cameras. My obvious choice was using multiclips until I found out how fragmented all the cameraclips were. Apart from having to change tapes in the middle of the gig, the cameramen switched on and off all the time, so syncing with multiclip is not an option.
I spent two days hand-syncing all the camera-angles and all the little snippets of switching cameras to the soundtrack and now I have a sequence with 12 videotracks (1 per camera-angle) on top of each other, all synched to the audio with blacks, where the respective cameras were not running.
Now here comes my question: Is there a way to turn this sequence into a multiclip for using the built in multiclip feature of FCP? Hand-editing between 12 cameras for five 1,5 hour gigs of norwegian death metal with 3 seconds long cuts will be a nightmare without multicam editing.
Exporting all the camera-tracks and reimporting and multiclipping is not an option, because I don't have enough discspace and loose the ability to batch-capture.
thanx for any help
Florian

I will add that a 12 camera gig isn't much different from a 3 camera gig. You can look back a few weeks and see four or more similar threads involving broken streams from many cameras. There are at least two ways to fix that, nest sequences or build self-contained movies that have slugs between the camera footage to replace the stops and restarts.
did you mention the cutting pace? MTV-style 60 cuts a second or more lyrical? I'd start with figuring out who is the best photographer in the lot, assume you're using his/her stuff for most of the prime coverage.

Multicam Editing: Not usable, choppy preview

Hello,
I'm using Premiere CC and got in trouble when using multicam-editing. Even with only 3 Tracks in my multicam sequence, the preview in the program monitor is nearly useless. It's slow, choppy, stopping, jumping....
At first, i thought it was caused by my pc. So i bought a new computer, a Dell Precision Workstation T3610 with 32GB RAM, K4000 GPU, Intel Xeon Processor, SSD and SATA Drive. I'm not a pro in editing, but i think, that this configuration should be strong enough to show at least 3 tracks.
First i tried 9 tracks and if this wouldn't work, it would be ok for me....:-)
....but only 3, 3 TRacks with 1920x1080 // 24fps ?? Should working, or?
Maybe with this system more than 4 cams are possible.
I'm sure this MUST work, because two years ago, with an older version of Premiere and a slower PC, i edited 6 Tracks and it worked. It must be a problem caused by false settings or something else.
The system runs on the SSD Disk, also Premiere.
My Videofiles are located on an internal SATA Drive // 7200. In project setting i stored Previewfiles on an external USB 3.0 drive.
1. So...often i read that every videofile in my project should be on another harddrive...but ...hmmm...now i have tree harddisks...isn't that enough?
Every angle = a new hdd?
2. Project Setting -> Video / Audio Recording, Video / Audio Preview?
3. I found out something which is maybe interesting:
3 or more angles are working perfect if im using the "Source Monitor". When i do the same in the "Program Monitor" Premiere is going down, the Preview is chopy and stopping.
So my simple question: In both windows, source and program monitor, the feature is the same: 3 video angles. Why are the playing so different????
Maybe it's a bug?
I would work in this way...no problem for me...source or programm....what the matter? But in the source monitor i don't have the cutting feature....so i HAVE to use the programm monitor.
What should i do????I
'm getting more and more desperate.... :-)
Excuse my english, i hope i could explain the problem good enough, so that you understand and maybe help me.
Thank you very much
Kiki

I have the exact same problem. I used to be able to edit multicam sequences, HD footage, 2-3 cameras at about only 17 mbps or so, with ease. NOw the PC chokes on it. It plays for several seconds, then stops for about ten seconds. I hear my fan spinning faster. It happens if I have the multicam monitor on, but lately it seems to happen for single camera editing as well.
I'm going to check my nVidia drivers, but I think they're all up to date. I'll check for dust in my PC. Not sure what else to try. Bypassing my USB3 hub? Copy project to a different (new) USB3 hard drive?

Multicam editing and live art

I've been doing a little bit multicam editing with FCPX now and when using multiple cameras on a single occasion everything goes nice and smooth. But now I have a different kind of situation that I need some good ideas with. I have been shooting a live art performance with a single camera in multiple occasions and I want to cut them as a one multiangled video. The thing is, the show is never quite the same. There is (pre-recorded) music and dance that always goes the same, but there is speech and other not beat-by-beat stuff in between. Syncing is a nightmare since the whole thing is unsyncable.
I am now open for all kinds of ideas, so keep them coming. Should I edit every music/dance-piece by themselves as a multicam clip, export, import and put together in a new project? The speech parts might be undoable with multicam tool, but that won't need lots of cuts anyway. I've been trying a bit of this and that, but have no idea what would be most convenient way to do this. I think some kind of splitting into scenes kind of thing needs to be done anyway for my media.

If I understand correctly, you want to make a movie out of multiple takes of more or less the same performance and I'm not sure how Multicam doesn't create more issues than it solves. The idea of multicam is to display different angles of a single take – usually with a common audio source. So unless I'm overlooking something (which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest) introducing multicam into the workflow would make your task more difficult.
One approach would be to lay out the parts (clips) of the performance you feel best tell the story on the primary storyline. Then use secondary storylines from the best takes to add interest as cutaways. Alternatively, if you wanted single source sound, you could experiment with a music bed as your primary stroyline, but then I think you would constantlly be wrestling with sync.
Best of luck on your project.

Multicam editing "open-format" in FCP6??...& can an iMac C2D 2.8 handle it?

Hello. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but...
In FCP6, is the multicam editing feature "open-format"? In otherwords, can you multicam edit HD (HDV) and SD (DV) resolution video together?
I've read that in previous versions (FCP5, I believe), this was not possible. But I believe the timeline wasn't open-format back then either. Just wondering if this limitation regarding multicam still exists, before I plunk down $1300 on FCS2. (I currently am trying to learn FCE4, but realized I may have blundered in that purchase, as much of what I want to edit is multicam in nature--i.e. concerts, interviews).
Also, on my machine, about how many "angles" could I have running in a multicam edit? (I have an iMac 24" Aluminum 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo). Could I say, do a multicam edit of 2 HD streams plus 2 or 3 SD streams (for a total of 4-5 angles)?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the bump! At least my "open-format" question seems like something someone with FCS2 should be able to answer.
Anyway, your questions regarding my setup are good ones. (Just added some of that to my profile)...
I currently am using a G-RAID2 1TB external drive, connected via FW800 to the iMac, as my scratch drive (http://www.g-technology.com/products/G-RAID2.cfm). (The iMac also has a FW400 port which I use to import video from camera). If necessary, I could always add another G-RAID2 (or something similar), if having two scratch drives would help (it would either have to be daisy-chained to the existing drive, or plugged in via FW400--not sure which would work best for multicam).
Honestly, I'm not sure about the exact formats. I'd have to look into it. But I can tell you the HD footage is from Canon HV20 camcorders, which use mini-DV tape to record HDV. This I have imported into FCE4, using, I believe AIC as required by FCE4. The footage is 1080i, I believe. If FCP6 handles the importing differently or uses a different codec (It doesn't, does it?), I can always re-import, if necessary.
The SD footage is/will be from standard, run-of-the-mill consumer mini-DV cameras. I believe one camera is anamorphic 16:9, and another (must've been an older camera), appears to do 16:9 by simply letterboxing the image.
All NTSC, no PAL.
And, yes, I'd like to avoid having to "upscale" the footage from the SD cameras, for time, pain-in-the-arse, and storage space reasons. (I read somewhere on the web that this was a suggested workaround for FCP5 users). The SD footage will mainly be used for occasional cut-away/alternate angle shots. Would prefer not to have to go thru THAT much trouble for that footage.
Thanks.

Place sequence markers during multicam edit?

Hello all,
I'm looking to place sequence markers on the fly as I'm performing a multicam edit using a keyboard shortcut, but I can't figure out how to do so. I'm editing a college lecture, so when the speaker says "next slide" while I'm switching cameras in multicam mode, I can place a sequence marker at the point where the PowerPoint slide should start and end. It would make it much easier later when I have to go back and drop in the slides.
Thanks.
Mike Tomei

Thanks for the link, Todd. I just submitted a feature request.
shooternz: yes, I'm able to place the markers in the main timeline window containing the multicam enabled edit, but only after switching from the multicam window to the timeline window. My goal is to place the markers on the sequence while I'm in the multicam window switching between my camera shots. Trying to keep a good flow going, rather than have to stop switching cameras, click on the timeline window, place a marker, then get the multicam camera switching started again. It would be great to just make a real time pass switching cameras and placing markers, then just have to go back and drop in slides at my marked points.
Mike
