Join Amy DeLouise for an in-depth discussion in this video Syncing multicamera projects in Final Cut Pro X, part of Video Editing: Moving from Production to Post.
- Many of us shoot scenes using more than one camera,…and editing them using the multi camera feature…of Final Cut Pro X should not be difficult.…Let's try it.…Let's go ahead and click…on the Multicamera keyword collection.…This is going to show us all of the clips…that are part of the multicamera.…As you can see, we have three cameras and audio.…Let's go ahead and select the audio.…And then let's go into the Properties panel…where it says Info.…
So in here, we will be able to assign…any kind of camera, name, or number…to the particular clip.…Let's go ahead and make the camera name…of the audio camera, 1.…Now you can select the MV1 clip.…This is the clip from the DSLR.…And let's give it a camera name of 2.…Then the next, GOPRO, which is the one that is facing Walt.…And let's name that camera name 3.…
And finally, the GOPRO423,…which is going to be camera name 4.…So you can already name your cameras…right here in the Info panel in Final Cut.…Now we're going to select all of the clips.…You can use either Shift or Command to add clips.…
