• Provides the same Source monitor controls that are available when you
edit other clips.
• Provides the special MultiCamera editing features that are available in
Full-Monitor display, Quad Split Source view, and MultiCamera mode.
These features are described in “MultiCamera Editing Techniques” on
page 477.
• Provides a list of all group clip video and audio tracks in the Group menu
for custom selection and patching.
• Allows you to use the Nine Split button to switch the Source monitor
between Full-Monitor display and Nine Split Source viewing and editing
modes (editing functions are the same in both displays).
• Allows you to use the Swap Cam Bank button to switch the Nine Split
Source view from one bank of nine camera angles to another bank of nine
camera angles. The Multi-angle View menus allow you to change the
camera angles of the split displays.
• The Record monitor is not active with Nine Split Source view.
MultiCamera Mode
After loading a group clip into the Source monitor and editing it to create a
new sequence, choose MultiCamera Mode from the Special menu to activate
the features. The MultiCamera Quad Split Edit or MultiCamera Nine Split
Edit is displayed, depending on whether you were in Quad Split Source view
or Nine Split Source view before entering MultiCamera mode.
n
You can also enter MultiCamera Mode by clicking the Quad Split button or the
Nine Split button if you have previously mapped the button to one of the
toolbars in the Timeline or the Source/Record monitor.
MultiCamera mode takes the Nine Split Source view and Quad Split Source
view one step further: it gangs all clips in the group clip displayed in the
Source monitor with the sequence displayed in the Record monitor. All clips
are synchronized and continuously updated during playback and editing.
n
You see the best real-time playback performance when you play material that
was recorded at 10:1m, 4:1m, or 1:1 resolutions for Avid NewsCutter
Adrenaline HD, and at DV 25 or 15:1s for Avid NewsCutter XP. Also, you see
better performance when you play in Best Performance mode rather than in
Full Quality mode. For more information about these modes, see “Playing
Back at Different Video Qualities” in the Help.
