Hi there,
I am getting my head around this multicam/multiclip editing thing.
I am using an iMac i7 27" with 4gb RAM, as it came. Not the current model, the previous one.
I am working with a 6-camera shoot, all shot in XDCAMHD. I have ingested the material and now have setup a multiclip sequence.
Because I have 6 cameras, I need to switch the viewer to a 9 angle setup, but I am finding that the playback of each camera is jerky...so much so that it would be impossible to switch properly.
By the way - and as an addition since having a bit more of a look around the net - all my clips are on the one FW800 Hard Drive.
So:
1) Seeing as I have 6 cameras, should each camera has its own drive as some here have suggested?
2) Do I need more RAM?
3) Is this purely showing the limitations of the computer?
4) I automatically set my timeline up as XDCAMHD...should I not set the timeline up as an XDCAMHD settings? Is there a better (say, ProRes setting) that I should use for the timeline?
Cheers and thanks in advance...
David
