SESSION DESCRIPTION

Multicam recording captures an event using multiple cameras. Multicam editing displays all those angles during the edit. This means we can quickly compare shots and pick the best ones 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 how to plan, setup, edit and polish a multicam shoot:

• Multicam Fundamentals
• Planning your storage
• Import files and 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

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.
