COURSE DESCRIPTION

NOTE: It’s been almost two years since I’ve done a webinar on multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X. With the new interface, and lots of new features, its time to take another look.

Multicam shooting records an event using multiple cameras. Multicam editing allows us to see all those images at the same time as we edit the show. This allows us to quickly compare shots and pick the best one for our story. As cameras get less expensive and editing software gets more powerful, multicam shooting is becoming the norm, not the exception.

This session covers:

• Multicam Basics – Things you need to know
• Tips on shooting multicam events that save time in editing
• File organization before importing
• File import and when to create proxies
• Modify clip metadata to simplify multicam organization
• Build, sync and modify a multicam clip
• Integrate double-system sound
• Edit and trim multicam edits
• Secrets of the Angle Editor
• The Angle Viewer and bank switching
• Effects and multicam clips
• Special uses of multicam editing

At the end of this session, you’ll know everything you need to know to successfully create, edit and modify multicam clips inside Apple Final Cut Pro X.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate session is designed for editors with some Final Cut Pro X experience that want to learn how to edit video using multicam techniques. This session is delivered as a QuickTime movie, no other software is required to watch this session.
