MultiCamera Editing
MultiCamera Workflow Options
The Avid MultiCamera editing features make possible three basic
workflow models for cutting multiple-angle shows: selective camera
cutting, cutting on-the-fly, and combination cutting. Each workflow
option has its advantages. When and how you use them is a matter of
personal preference.
Selective Camera Cutting
Selective camera cutting involves marking and editing source material
into the sequence, much as you build a sequence by using nongrouped
clips in a normal session. You can play, cue, and mark clips on the
source side, and then splice, overwrite, and trim clips in the sequence.
Perform selective camera cutting in one of the following ways:
t Lay down an entire group as a master sequence, and then add
edits, switch camera angles, and trim within the sequence or cut in
new clips.
t Edit one clip at a time without laying down a master sequence
first, effectively building a sequence as you would with
single-camera material.
The advantage of selective camera cutting with grouped clips is that
all the clips are synchronized, which simplifies the selection of camera
angles. Selective camera cutting generally requires the use of a
detailed line script or detailed notes that enable you to select clips and
assemble the sequence one clip at a time.
To perform selective camera cutting:
1. Load the group or multigroup clip into the Source monitor.
2. Using timecode notes and the numeric keypad, type the timecode
for the first take to begin the sequence, and press Enter to cue the
clip in the Source monitor to the take.
