Multi-Camera Editing lets you edit footage from multiple cameras simultaneously. Sync clips by timecode or audio, switch between angles in real-time, and create dynamic edits for interviews, concerts, and events.
Where to Find It
Select clips in the Project panel, right-click and choose Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence. Set the sequence to match your timeline settings.
How to Use
- Create: Select all camera angles, right-click > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence.
- Enable: Click the Multi-Camera toggle button in the Program Monitor.
- Switch: Press number keys (1, 2, 3...) to switch between angles while playing.
- Refine: After the first pass, use the Multi-Camera panel to fine-tune cuts.
Pro Tips
- Use timecode sync if all cameras were jam-synced, or audio sync for scratch tracks.
- Cut the audio to one angle, then adjust video cuts independently for better pacing.
