Creating Multigroup Clips
Multigrouping is strictly for use in large multicamera productions, such as situation comedies, in
which all synchronous camera shots are recorded with the same timecode. The MultiGroup
function is a single Bin menu command that eliminates the time-consuming steps of collecting,
sorting, grouping, and assembling large volumes of multicamera clips.
To multigroup your material:
1. Sort the clips by name in the bin.
2. Select Edit > Select All to select the master clips.
3. Select Bin > MultiGroup.
