SESSION DESCRIPTION

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 shows fast and effective ways to edit a multicam shoot using Apple Final Cut Pro:

• Multicam Basics – Terms you need to know
• Tips on shooting multicam events that save time in editing
• Storage considerations for multicam 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 virtually everything you need to know to successfully create, edit and modify multicam clips inside Apple Final Cut Pro.
