No timecode lock on multi cam shoot? My Solution
I recently did a shoot for a UGA event called UGA Idol (it's name implies exactly what you think). We were rolling three XL2's with a feed from the board to the coverage cam. It was a nearly three hour event so when I got home I had 10 tapes to sift through.
Without fcp's easy multicam editing it would have been a huge headache, but as it was, the only problem I faced was not having aligned the xl2's timecode (we didn't have a remote handy to do it). When I got the clips of each singer ready to put into multiclips I was faced with the sync issue. Marking in or out points by which fcp can sync the seperate clips will often cut off your usage for portions of clips. I decided to open the three angles up in seperate viewers and rolled them each to a matching frame then clicked Modify > Timecode and added a matching timecode number to aux 1. Then when you make your multiclip, sync them by the aux 1 timecode. Your multiclip will last from the beginning of the earliest clip to the end of your latest even if their orginal timecode was years apart! Just a quick fix to a problem I should have solved earlier, but I'm assuming some of you out there are having it as well. |

This is a great idea.
How do I open multiple viewers? Ah, i see, select the clip in the Browser, then View>Open In New Window. It worked great. THANKS. Last edited by Scott Brickert; October 29th, 2008 at 03:40 PM. Reason: more info |
