CHRIS ROBERTS: Hi, I'm Chris.
-
I'm an editor and a Blackmagic
certified master trainer.
-
And today, we're going
to look at multicamera
-
editing in DaVinci Resolve.
-
So first of all, I need to
restore a project archive which
-
has the project and all of
the media associated with it.
-
So I'm going to right click in
an empty area of the project
-
manager and choose the Restore
Project Archive option.
-
-
If you now navigate to
where you have downloaded
-
your multicamera.dra file
and then choose Open,
-
the project manager
will restore the project
-
and also link the
media in the archive.
-
Simply double click the
project to open it in Resolve.
-
-
So we're going to do two
multicamera editing exercises.
-
The first is going to be a
simple two camera interview.
-
The second will be a full-on
eight camera music video shoot.
-
The first thing we
need to do, though,
-
is to synchronize the footage
and make a special multicamera
-
clip.
-
So here in the
timeline, I've actually
-
got some footage already edited.
-
And at this point
here, I'm actually
-
going to insert a
multicamera interview.
-
But to begin with,
I actually need
-
to create the multicamera clip.
-
So first thing I'm going to
do is come to the Media Pool
-
and find the Citizen
Chain Interviews bin.
-
If I select that, I've
got two clips here,
-
both angles of a
multicamera interview.
-
So to begin with, what
I'm actually going to do
-
is just add these two clips to
a standard regular timeline.
-
Select both of the clips
in the Media Pool, then
-
right click any of them and
choose Create New Timeline
-
Using Selected Clips.
-
-
I'm just going to
rename the timeline.
-
We'll call this Sasha Sync.
-
And then I'm going
to choose Create.
-
Now at this point, the shots are
sequential in the timeline, one
-
after the other.
-
So what I now need to do is put
one on top of the other clip,
-
and then get Resolve
to synchronize the two
-
clips together.
-
I'm going to select the
second clip in this timeline
-
and move it up to the
second video track.
-
And you see that the audio also
moves to the second audio track.
-
I'm going to select both of
those clips in the timeline,
-
then right click either of them
and choose Auto Align Clips.
-
Now there are two ways
that you can auto align
-
clips in the timeline.
-
You could either
use the timecode
-
that's matching
across the two shots,
-
or you can use the waveform.
-
Because I don't have matching
timecode on these clips,
-
I'm actually just going
to use the waveform.
-
So I'm going to choose the
option based on waveform.
-
The two clips actually get
synchronized very well.
-
And you can see just by looking
at the waveform displays
-
how the waveforms are matching
up across the two clips.
-
Now that I've got the clips
synchronized in the timeline,
-
I now need to actually
create a multicamera clip
-
from the timeline.
-
And you can actually
create a multicamera clip
-
either from a regular timeline
or from a compound clip.
-
So I'm going to locate the
timeline in the Media Pool,
-
right click on it, and
then choose the option
-
Convert Timeline
To Multicam Clip.
-
This closes the timeline
down because now it's
-
no longer a timeline.
-
It's technically a
multicamera clip.
-
And if I use the
media preview here,
-
you can see that I can actually
preview the multicamera clip
-
directly in the source viewer.
-
The two clips are actually
labeled video one and video two,
-
because those are the
actual names of the tracks
-
that we actually place those
two clips on in the timeline
-
before we created
the multicamera clip.
-
Now that I've got the
clip synchronized.
-
I'm going to open it
in the source viewer
-
by double clicking it.
-
And then I just simply
mark the range of the clip
-
that I need, just like
any other regular clip.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- And the name Citizen Chain is?
-
- That is the brainchild
of my partner.
-
He named the shop.
-
I was a big fan of Orson Welles.
-
I had done several projects
on him going through school
-
and stuff like that, so I
appreciated the pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then only after
we named the shop,
-
by certain course of
events, we found out
-
that Rosebud was
really a bicycle.
-
The inspiration for
Rosebud as a sled
-
was a bicycle that the
screenwriter had as a child.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So
that's actually
-
marked the story that Sasha
has about naming the shop.
-
Once I've got the
clip marked, I'm
-
just going to simply perform
a regular insert edit.
-
Now that I've got the
clip in the timeline,
-
I need to fine
tune the interview.
-
This is taking out
parts of the interview
-
that I don't really
need, and just
-
tightening the story up just
so it flows a little better.
-
Just so I can
streamline the interface
-
slightly so that it allows
me to focus on the interview,
-
I'm actually just going
to hide the media pool.
-
Then, in the timeline, I'm just
going to play the interview.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
I had done several
projects on him
-
going through school and stuff
like that, so I appreciate--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS:
Well, I don't think
-
we need to know exactly
why he's a big fan of Orson
-
Welles and the fact that he's
done some projects on him
-
in school.
-
Just the fact that he's a big
fan of Orson Welles, I think,
-
is more than enough.
-
So let's take some of
this interview out.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: That's the
beginning of his next line.
-
I'm going to go to
my Blade Edit mode
-
by pressing B on my keyboard,
come down to the timeline,
-
and click to make an edit point.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I had done several
projects on him
-
going through school and stuff
like that, so I appreciate the--
-
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So
now I'm finding
-
the beginning of the next
phrase where he says so.
-
And again, I'll use
the blade edit mode
-
to add the edit point going
into selection edit mode
-
to select that, pressing
Shift-Backspace in order
-
to perform a ripple delete.
-
If I now use the
forward slash key.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles,
-
so I appreciated the pun.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Now that probably
needs a little bit of trimming,
-
but I'm going to
come back to that.
-
I'm actually just going to
get the interview all trimmed
-
up so that we're focusing just
on the main parts of the story.
-
So I'm going to continue
playing the clip,
-
listening for the next piece of
interview that I want to remove.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- So I appreciated
the pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Now
there's a big ah there,
-
which is a little
bit off putting.
-
So I can tidy that up
by removing that ah.
-
And in this case, I'm just
going to set an endpoint just
-
before that piece of
waveform, jog forward
-
until after he finishes,
and then set an out point.
-
So using in and
the out points here
-
instead of the blade edit
mode just makes things
-
a little bit tidier and
a little bit easier.
-
I don't need to keep swapping
in and out of different timeline
-
modes.
-
Shift-Backspace will ripple
delete that clip out.
-
Hit the forward slash key.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- And then only after
we named the shop--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: That's working.
-
One more trim, I think.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- By certain course
of events, we
-
found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Certain
course of events.
-
He doesn't really
elaborate on what
-
those certain course
of events were,
-
so we don't really
need to know about it.
-
So let's take that section out.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- And then only after
we named the shop,
-
we found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So
what we now have
-
is what we often refer
to as a radio edit.
-
We actually have the
interview working fairly well.
-
You may want to go back
through the interview
-
and actually listen to
the cuts that you've made,
-
just to make sure you're
happy with them all,
-
and that the audio flows nicely
from one clip to the next.
-
I'm happy with most of those,
apart from this first edit here.
-
So I'm going to go back to it
and use the detail zoom button
-
to zoom in there.
-
Let's just preview and
listen to that again.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles,
-
so I appreciated the pun.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So in
the incoming shot,
-
I'm actually catching the
end of the previous word.
-
I'm just going to remove that
by going into trim edit mode,
-
selecting the incoming
side of the edit,
-
and then using the
period key just
-
to trim off one frame
off that incoming shot.
-
Let's listen to it again.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles,
-
so I appreciated the pun, and--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Now I feel as
though I've taken too much
-
off, so let's just try and nudge
that back a couple of frames.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles,
-
and so I appreciated the pun.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: I might have
to lose the so altogether,
-
to be honest.
-
But this is all part of editing.
-
I'm just going to trim it
forward just to lose the so.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the
pun and the play--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: That's fine.
-
Let's just trim off a couple
more frames and have a listen.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- --fan of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the pun and the--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS:
That's not too bad.
-
So now I have my radio
edit working, it's time
-
to actually use the
different angles that we
-
have inside this multicam clip.
-
Let's go back into
full extent zoom
-
so that we can see the
multicam clip in its entirety
-
in the timeline.
-
At the moment, we're
actually starting
-
on this medium wide shot here.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- Was a big fan of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the
pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So at this
point, what I want on this clip
-
is I actually want to move
to the second camera angle.
-
If I right click
on that clip, you
-
can see I have an option to
switch the multicam clip angle.
-
And then I get to choose
which of those two angles
-
to choose from.
-
Let's just click video two.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- A big fan of Orson Welles, I
appreciated the pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then only after
we named the shop,
-
we found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So I have the
same problem on this clip
-
now, so I can do the same again.
-
Right click, choose
switch multicam clip angle
-
to video two.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- After we named the
shop, we found out
-
that Rosebud was
really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: And you can see
that the interview actually
-
cuts nicer visually
because I'm switching
-
between the different angles.
-
I could actually cut to
a new angle at any point.
-
For example, if I
move the playhead
-
to this part of the
interview and just play.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- Play on the word of Citizen--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: At
this point, I want
-
to go to the wide
shot where he says,
-
Citizen Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
So at this point, I can
now add an edit point.
-
Previously we used the
blade edit mode for this,
-
but if I just press Command or
Control-B, that will add an edit
-
and allow me to switch this
clip to the first video angle.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- Of Citizen Kane,
Citizen Chain.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: But
of course, now I've
-
got a jump cut to this because
it's using the same angle.
-
So I'm going to select that,
right click, switch multicam
-
angle, video two.
-
And then, of course, I've
got the same problem again
-
because now I've got a jump
cut between the two angles.
-
So I'm going to right click,
switch multicam angle, video
-
one.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the
pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then only after
we named the shop,
-
we found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS:
You can also treat
-
all of these multicam clips
just like regular clips
-
in the timeline.
-
If I go into trim edit mode by
pressing T, hold down the Option
-
or Alt key to select the
linked video of the first clip,
-
I can now trim this in order
to create a slight split edit,
-
so that I'm creating a J cut so
that the audio comes in slightly
-
earlier than the video.
-
And again, I can do a
similar thing at the end here
-
in order to create a split
edit on the last clip.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the
pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then only after
we named the shop,
-
we found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Now I've got the
multicam clip working quite well
-
in the edit.
-
The last thing I need
to do is to flatten it.
-
What this will do
is it will actually
-
give me back the original
source clips that
-
were used to create the multicam
clip in the first place.
-
To flatten the
multicam clip, just
-
simply select all
of the multicam
-
clips within your
timeline, right click,
-
and choose flatten
multicam clip.
-
-
What this does is it actually
removes the multicam clips
-
from your timeline and
actually leaves in place
-
the original source clips.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
- I was a big fan
of Orson Welles.
-
I appreciated the
pun and the play
-
on the word of Citizen
Kane, Citizen Chain.
-
And then only after
we named the shop,
-
we found out that Rosebud
was really a bicycle.
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: And
that's an example
-
about how we can edit a
simple two camera interview.
-
However, not all
multicamera edits
-
are quite that straightforward.
-
Sometimes you're
actually dealing
-
with many, many
different camera angles.
-
So let's look at another
example about how
-
we can cut a music video.
-
Let's begin by
reopening the media pool
-
and selecting the
Miserable Girl bin.
-
In this bin, we've actually
got eight different video
-
clips of a band
performing on a stage.
-
We've also got an audio file,
which is the actual song
-
that they were performing to.
-
We're going to let Resolve
synchronize these clips
-
and create the multicamera
clip, but just before we do,
-
it's worth pointing
something out.
-
You'll notice that
all of these clips
-
have a name, JBR_01, JBR_02,
JBR_03, and so on and so forth.
-
If I select JBR_01
and then access
-
the File tab in the
inspector, you'll
-
see that this clip actually
has some metadata specifying
-
that this was camera one.
-
However, if I select JBR_02
and have a look in the file
-
inspector, you'll notice
that this has actually
-
been given camera number eight,
JBR_03 is camera number two,
-
and so on and so forth.
-
So just because the cameras are
named in a specific way in terms
-
of the file or the
clip within the project
-
doesn't necessarily mean I
can't apply additional metadata
-
information to each
of those clips.
-
This helps me specify the
different camera numbers.
-
I'm going to close
the inspector,
-
and this time I'm actually going
to right click on the Miserable
-
Girl bin and choose the option
Create New Multicam Clip using
-
selected bin.
-
In this case, it
just means that I
-
can select the bin
rather than having
-
to select all of the clips.
-
However, if there are
some clips in this bin,
-
you can just select them
independently and actually
-
choose to create the multicam
clip from the selected clips.
-
When I choose this
option, Resolve
-
asks me to create the
multicamera clip and what
-
settings it should use.
-
So here I'm actually
going to change
-
the name of this multicam clip.
-
We'll call it
Miserable Girl Sync.
-
I often use sync at the
end of multicam clips,
-
and it just helps to
differentiate them
-
in the list view
in the media pool
-
as to whether something is a
timeline or a multicamera clip.
-
We leave the frame rate
as it is because that's
-
the same frame rate of
the clips that I'm using.
-
But we're going to
change the angle sync.
-
You'll notice that we can use
in points, out points, timecode,
-
sound, or markers.
-
Well, we didn't add any
in, out points, markers
-
to any of these clips, so we
can't use any of those in order
-
to be able to create
an accurate sync.
-
Also, these clips
don't have time code.
-
Not all cameras will
record accurate time code
-
that can be synced
with other cameras.
-
So in this case, sound is
actually the most reliable way
-
that we've got of synchronizing
these clips together.
-
So let's choose sound from
the angle sync option.
-
From the angle
name, though, we're
-
actually going to change from
sequential to metadata camera.
-
This means we're actually using
that camera metadata that I've
-
pointed out in order
to be able to choose
-
the order of the
cameras, and also
-
very importantly, the
name as those cameras
-
appear in the
multicam clip viewer.
-
We can actually leave
all of the other options
-
alone, just for the moment.
-
However, it is
worth pointing out
-
that there is this
option to move source
-
clips to an original clips bin.
-
Sometimes you don't
want the source clips
-
to be moved to another
bin, so it's always worth
-
just thinking about whether
you need that option on or off.
-
Let's click Create.
-
And after a brief analysis,
Resolve will actually
-
create me a new multicam clip.
-
And also in the
media pool here, you
-
can see that we've also now
got a new original clips bin.
-
Double click the
multicam clip to open it
-
into the source viewer.
-
And now we can do a
quick sanity check
-
to see if all of these
angles are in sync.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Well,
it's not very good audio
-
because I'm actually
listening to on-camera audio
-
from camera angle one.
-
However, just by
looking at the pictures,
-
I can see that all
of the performances
-
do seem to be in sync.
-
So the next thing I need
is I need a new timeline.
-
Let's select the Timelines
bin, and from the File menu,
-
choose New Timeline.
-
I'm going to rename this
timeline Miserable Girl Edit.
-
And then leave all
of the other options
-
the same, because the
defaults will work for this.
-
And choose Create.
-
Now I can edit the multicam
clip into this empty timeline,
-
just like any
other regular clip.
-
So I'm going to find the
start of the performance.
-
And set an endpoint.
-
Using audio scrubbing
is very useful
-
to be able to find the beginning
of that multicamera clip.
-
However, I can always trim
it in the timeline anyway,
-
so I'm not too worried about
finding the exact point.
-
I'm just going to make an
overwrite edit for this clip,
-
just as you would
normally do for any clip.
-
And now I'm just going to
hide the media pool again,
-
just to give me plenty
of room in the interface
-
to actually concentrate
on this clip
-
and move the playhead
back to the beginning.
-
So the first thing I
want to do is actually
-
to choose the starting angle
and also the audio angle
-
that I actually
want to work with.
-
And we can do that the
same way that we actually
-
chose the different video
angles in the interview
-
exercise previously.
-
In the timeline, I'm just going
to right click the picture
-
and choose Switch
Multicam Clip Angle,
-
and then I can choose
whichever angle that I want.
-
I'm going to choose
camera four here,
-
because I know that camera
four is actually the drummer,
-
and it's actually a good
angle from which to start.
-
Also, I'm going to right
click the audio clip
-
and choose Switch Multicamera
Angle to camera music.
-
The audio file also actually had
some camera information in it,
-
so that it's actually put
this in the correct place
-
and actually
labeled it correctly
-
so that I'm not guessing as to
which angle is the actual music
-
angle.
-
Looking at the
waveform, I can also
-
see it's a little
hot on the audio,
-
so I'm actually just going to
bring that down a little bit,
-
just so that I don't deafen
myself when I play this back.
-
Once I've got the two starting
angles set for both sound
-
and picture in the
timeline, I'm almost
-
ready to do my multicamera edit.
-
However, one other
thing that I want to do
-
is I now want to bring the
source viewer into play
-
so that I can easily switch
between the different camera
-
angles.
-
All I need to do is
come to this menu
-
option in the bottom left hand
corner of the source viewer
-
and change the menu
from source to multicam.
-
Down at the bottom of
the multicam viewer,
-
you can see that there
are three options.
-
This will indicate whether I'm
cutting sound and picture, just
-
sound, or just picture.
-
In this case, I just
want to choose picture.
-
So now I've chosen what
side of the multicam
-
I actually want to cut.
-
In this case, just picture.
-
I'm all ready to just hit Play
and then to click on the angles
-
as I want them.

You say sweet things,
but I'm not gullible
-
You're crying, you're crying
-
You take up all my time
-
All of your fits are just
to show you want to try
-
But you look so fine
-
Girl, you're so divine
-
Controlling, controlling
-
Which one do you want?
-
I can do both, but
it's never enough
-
I'm lonely each day, but
you're stuck in your ways
-
It's too late
-
You're just another
pretty girl with something
-
to prove and nothing to lose
-
Yes, you're beautiful
-
But you're not happy
until you're miserable
-
You say sweet things,
but I'm not gullible

CHRIS ROBERTS: So
there we have it.
-
I've gone from the
beginning of the music video
-
to the end, just simply
clicking on the different angles
-
that I want as I want them.
-
Now, at this point, you might
think, well, the job is done.
-
However, as I was
going through that
-
and cutting between
the different angles,
-
there were a few cuts that
I wasn't quite happy with.
-
So this is another important
part of multicamera editing.
-
Whilst you could possibly
go through that music video
-
and cut it in real time and
be happy with the results
-
when you've finished, simply
think of this as a rough cut.
-
This isn't live
television, after all.
-
It means that we
can always go back
-
and we can always make changes.
-
Now, this means that whoever's
watching this at the end
-
doesn't necessarily need to
see the creative decisions
-
that you've actually gone
through to achieve the end
-
result. Let's go back
through this multicam clip
-
and let's see if there's any
changes that we can make.
-

["MISERABLE GIRL" PLAYING]
-
(SINGING) You won't be happy
till I put you in your place
-
You can't smile with
that frown on your face
-
But you look--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Well,
at that point there
-
on that outgoing shot, we
lost the focus slightly
-
before we cut to the next shot.
-
So what I would want
to do here is actually
-
to probably roll the
edit back a little bit
-
in order to cover that
slight slip of the focus.
-
So let's go into
detail zoom view
-
in order to be able to see
that edit quite clearly.
-
I'm now going to click
and hold on the edit
-
and move it backwards
and forwards in order
-
to be able to roll the
edit into a new position
-
to cover that slight
slip of the focus.
-
I don't need to be
in trim edit mode
-
in order to make a change
like this to a multicam clip.
-
And actually, for
most multicam edits,
-
you probably want to stay
away from trim edit mode.
-
You certainly don't want to
ripple or slip the clips,
-
because that will
actually break the sync.
-
So I think I'm happy with the
new position for that edit.
-
I'm going to hit the forward
slash key to preview it.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
(SINGING) You can't smile
with that frown on your face,
-
but you look so--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Now
that works, and I'm
-
happy that I've just covered up
that slight slip of the focus.
-
However, this wide
shot of the singer
-
actually now stays on for
a little bit too long,
-
so what I might want
to do is actually
-
cut to a different angle.
-
I'm just going to
play through the clip
-
until I find the point
where I want to cut.
-
Well, it would probably
be useful to actually cut
-
to the drummer at this
point here because there's
-
a cymbal smash.
-
So with the playhead
actually parked
-
on the frame where I
want to make the cut,
-
I'm now going to come up to
the multicam source viewer.
-
And you'll notice
when I bring my mouse
-
over the clip in
the source viewer
-
for the appropriate angle,
it actually gives me
-
a little razor blade icon to
indicate that I'm going to cut.
-
If I now click on
that clip, you'll
-
now notice that I've now got
a new cut within that existing
-
multicam clip.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
(SINGING) With that frown on
your face, but you look so fine
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So
you can see just
-
how easy it is now to actually
go through and actually add
-
additional edit points.
-
However, looking at
the timeline now,
-
I've noticed that the
following clip is actually
-
the same drummer shot.
-
Thankfully, because
this is a through edit,
-
as indicated by the dotted
lines, all I need to do
-
is select it and then hit
the Delete or Backspace key
-
in order to be able to
remove that through edit.
-
That actually has now
joined that clip together.
-
Let's go through and
choose a new angle.
-
-
I think it'd be useful to see
the guitarist at this point.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
(SINGING) But you look so fine
-
I need to get you--
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: And I think we
should go back to the singer
-
as well.
-
For that second line Let's
choose camera angle two.
-
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
-
(SINGING) I need
to get you in line
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: Well, you'll
notice on that camera angle
-
that I've just chose,
it's quite nice.
-
However, you'll notice
that the framing has now
-
gone a little bit wrong.
-
So the talent is moving
in front of the camera,
-
and of course, the cameraman is
finding it difficult to keep up.
-
-
Of course, I could actually
cover that with another shot.
-
But the other thing that you
can do with multicamera clips
-
is you can actually switch
between the different angles,
-
and that's just as easy
to do as making a cut.
-
I'm just going to park the
playhead over the multicam angle
-
that I actually want to switch.
-
I'm going to go with a wide
shot of the whole band here,
-
so camera angle number eight.
-
Now if I just simply
click on this angle,
-
it will actually
add an edit point.
-
However, if I hold down the
Option or the Alt key when
-
I actually look at
the mouse, you'll
-
now see it's actually
switched into what appears
-
to be a replace edit symbol.
-
And what this will do is
it will just simply switch
-
the entire angle, very similar
to what we did on the interview
-
in the first exercise.
-
So just simply now holding
down the Option or Alt key
-
and clicking on the angle
will switch the entire angle
-
on the timeline.
-
-
let's go back to the drummer
for that little ripple.

(SINGING) You say you want love,
but I think that you're confused
-
All you really need is
my neglecting, my abuse
-
[END PLAYBACK]
-
CHRIS ROBERTS: So
now you can see.
-
All that we need to do is just
work back through the multicam
-
edit, add in edit points, and
actually roll in edit points,
-
switching angles, and
carrying on cutting.
-

I need to make you mine
