How to Edit Multiple Cameras in Final Cut

[@TheAccentPodcast]

Finally, a tutorial that gets to the point without 1000 useless features no-one cares about. Thank you!

[@IlyaAndreev-1]

Exactly 👍

[@ChristopherORiley360]

New to FinalCutPro. Your breakdown is the best. I feel so comfortable at every step of the process. It is easy! But only if someone as pragmatic and communicative as you lays it out for us. Thank you, Jenn!

[@JennJagerPro]

Thanks! Welcome!

[@crazybaker1]

Hi thank you great video BUT, I have been using this for around 6 months but last week it's stopped working, I am just wondering if you know why, 😢 odd thing is my time line looks the same but opening it up and all 3 parts of my film is in one line across the time line, and not on top of each part 😀 hopefully you may no why thanks Steve 😀

[@LetThatMarinate]

You crushed this tutorial! Thank you for making this so plain!

[@supriyashrestha]

you saved me DAYS of editing! thanl you so so much this clear cut tutorial

[@dobrepytanie828]

Your entire channel is a godsend! Literally needed to learn the multicam right now and there you are dropping a video on this exact subject. Thank you!

[@Beautybyjorge]

THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO... I'VE SEEN IT SEVERAL TIMES NOW. THANK YOU

[@JacobHaren]

This was INCREDIBLE. Please teach me how to do my taxes and everything else in life 😂

[@JennJagerPro]

Lmaooo. Can’t help you there, guy.

[@meetrichardreyes]

I’ve been editing with Final Cut Pro for about a year now and I’m currently editing a multi-cam video. Your tutorial on how to edit multi-cam is the best one I’ve seen. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@AtRefreshmentMVP]

I love the multicam editing. My last edits went much quicker. Ever since the last update (Ventura 13.3.1 (a) ) multicam on final cut pro is always lagging or skipping frames on play back in the time line when the viewer is on Angles. I'm saving to a Samsung T7 (2T) external drive and there is only thirty-some odd MB use on my MacBook pro. Any suggestions?

[@maxhighstein]

Well, that's better than what I've been doing, which is laying the clips one over the other, and syncing the audio by hand. Duh. ;-) Thanks!

[@sandyorchard4750]

GREAT video! Thank you so much! Quick question: when I create the multicam clip WITH A separate audio file as a camera angle, everything works great. But when I select the project, as if I am going to export it, and play it in the monitor, it does not recognize the separate audio file, but is playing on-board camera audio (which I do not want). How can I fix this? Thanks for any help!

[@ErnstRiha]

Thank you, perfect instructions. AI-Chat showed me some ways, but AI did not find this one :) - I was about to invest in special software. Long story short: These instructions saved me time and money and are easy to follow as a tutorial. My compliments!

[@TomSeibert]

Thank you, Jenn!! This is just what I was looking for!

[@meetrichardreyes]

In multi-cam editing have you had a clip go black or nothing on main screen but in the timeline it's fine. If so how does one fix that? If you can help that would be appreciated.

[@bakertamory]

I am using 2 iPhones for by B and C roll, and my main camera is a Sony A7rv. The two iPhones have the same color profile but I need to match it as close as possible to my Sony. When should I color correct and or apply luts? Should I color correct and match each footage first, and then "multicam" it? And then apply the final lut on the multicam? Or color correct and color match each video, apply the lut, and then multicam it?

[@altag1]

Nice content + great delivery = value. Subscribed

[@dwoodog]

This is a very cool feature. I wish you had touched on having several clips from each camera. Can you just batch synchronize them?

[@SarahJonestoo]

Thank you for this. It's very helpful. I really liked the clarity of your delivery and your methodical approach.

[@bemawr]

Editing my first multi cam project today. This was SUPER helpful!

[@aelbj]

Fantastic. Thank you. I can't get my Multicam clips to collapse into a single timeline. Cameras were not started and stopped at the same time and I have quite a bit of B roll. Any idea how I can get this to a single timeline so I can switch angles like you're showing. Thank you Jenn.

[@MartinHeidenreichMusic]

THANK YOU so much for this tutorial! The way you explained it made things pretty clear and it was a joy to follow. Subbed

[@wordsforchange2023]

Question. The audio in angle 2 is so much better than angle 1. I have hear the difference in audio quality and I prefer angle 2. Can I change the primary audio post edit?

[@brownreport]

Can I just say wow... you delivered in this video girl... so cool thanks for making this tutorial...

[@rogersherman3619]

Great video. Watched a different that look good but was so confusing. SUBSCRIBED!

[@smyth613]

Hi Jenn, I am having a problem. When I expand my timeline (so I see multiple cams) when I hit the back arrow as you do at 6:23 I don't go back to my primary timeline. I don't know why? They stay opened and I cannot edit?? Any help? thanks

[@jjdigitalvideosolutionsllc5343]

If you have several cameras but one or two have been stop/started, can FCP still sync those up with multicam? Say CAM1 is continuous, but CAM2 and CAM3 were stop/started, can FCP handle syncing that?

[@drumseltzer]

Great tutorial! Is it possible to create a side-by-side or picture-in-picture once you have already created the multicam clip?

[@lavinchi6709]

Thank youu so much,Jenn!Super video&&&Very helpful

[@njbestvideo5977]

I did a 2 cam shoot. Main cam has the good audio. 2nd cam did NOT start recording audio until 2 thirds into the production. Will F Cut still be able to sync the 2nd camera to the first throughout the entire audio track on cam 2?

[@243basha]

Thank you. Well explained

[@bobslfcu773]

Awesome video. Would you use the same process for a split screen or picture in picture? I use 2 or 3 goPros. They are also quite large files, is that a problem? Thanx for the info. I am new to FCP, just downloaded the 90 trial version.

[@mickvt5955]

Just discovered your channel. GREAT! Question, If I use two cameras recording plus a separate microphone device, what audio settings does the recording device and cameras be set on to insure they are synced together once I bring them into FCP?

[@ThompaThelin]

Hi ,appreciate the video. I don't understand the "naming camera" in this video. I only name the clip when using the multicam feature. And sound you can just drag in the timeline. I have made a couple of music videos but are not in ANY way expert :) but I think you should make a follow up video about proxy media when multicam editing. more then two clips and you average computer will burn :) thx

[@scottabergermd]

Amazing tutorial on a complex subject. Jen, where is your company? I live literally in the shadow of the Boca Resort!

[@Jstache23]

I Love this tutorial. Thank you so much for a great breakdown of how fCP works. I will consider your course also.

[@amminationproductions2735]

What if there are three cameras (A/B/C)? Camera A [two shot and both the interviewer & interviewee’s audio is fed into the main camera, Cam A], Camera B has internal audio-interviewer coverage, and Camera C has NO audio-interviewee coverage; However, there is a slate shown in all three shots simultaneously, so of course I can line them up myself manually. But, to save time, is there a way to sync the clip without sound with all the other clips with sound in a multi camera sequence or timeline edit workspace?

[@Thomllama]

wow, this help me and my little stupid KZbin video become at least a tad better!! thanks!!

[@NeagoeCristi]

Yes, but when you have several audio sources and hundreds of videos, then no longer works.

[@AnchorSwing]

Question: I use a 360 camera and tried creating 2 separate views "cameras" from the 360 video plus another camera. I used 2 subprojects to edit the two "camera" views so I could use them in a master project. In both cases I had to export the videos from the two sub projects and add the rendered videos to the main project to use them. Is there a simpler way to do this in a multi-cam use case?

[@Roger-f8u3n]

Best Video I've seen about this topic.I didn't use Final Cut Pro for a few years but your video brought it all back! Thank you!

[@peterschulze8636]

Same here

[@ProfePlaysMinecraft]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Very much enjoyed. tHanks for posting this. I still use Vegas Pro 15 . It is fun to see how the other half lives.

[@mediacreationsusa]

so if Im doing a 5 cam shoott - What if you wanted to use, say, 2 of the the cameras audio tracks and a recorder all the time no matter which angle I choose - also I assume I can balance those volume wise when I expand the multi cam clip? I might want more presence on a direct feed off a board, but some of the crowd noise from the camera mics, etc...

[@radicalhealthrebelpodcast]

I'm finding the sound slowly goes out of sync. Anyone have any solutions for that?

[@creativelabstudio7464]

this was extremely helpful thank u.... question? how about if one cam 4k and one hd? also how to I cut out audio from the b/c/d cam?

[@donaldbishop923]

How does Multicam work when you have multiple cameras that take multiple recordings and a single audio file that spans the entire shoot, including out takes?

[@Dolphinvideoproductions]

I have two cameras but two speakers. And a lapel on each subject and put both receivers on main camera. How do I assign audio for main camera alone. In multicam

[@gascoyneone]

This is a superb tutorial, thank you, I gave up on others !

[@johnwade7430]

Can you now include a Tutorial on how to use multiple videos in the same screen - as in like a Choir which includes say 20 different recordings of the same song. Thanks

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

If I’m doing a wedding with a recorder on my b&g how important is it that I’m not starting and stopping my recording at the same time like you mentioned? I’d like to be able to run a tascam dr10l all day on them and sync audio later in post

[@aleepinhophoto]

Amazing video! Super useful and straight to the point

[@TG-hh9hp]

But how do I even get THREE or more video tracks onto my timeline. it only seems to accept two.

[@TimWasher]

exactly the info I needed. thanks so much for the tutorial

[@412foto]

how do I cut the audio out of the one clip so it is only using the audio from the main track that contains the audio from my lav mics vs the one on the 2nd camera used just to sync the clips?

[@UROCKOFFICIAL]

absolutely fantastic.... thanks. Great tutorial.

[@InvisibleAdvocate]

at 8:45 you say the curser changes to scissors - how do you make this happen?

[@josephbartztraining]

Thank you. Great Tutorial, as all of your Tutorials are.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Thank you Jenn for a very easy to understand tutorial! Keep up the good work

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Just what I was looking for, thank you so much!!

[@editorreceh8214]

for change angel cam A to B or B to A Rall can change wt kay no. 1 and 2.. 1 for angel A and 2 For angel B

[@photos-fera7392]

I just would like to say I NEVER COMMENT ON VIDEOS. This deserves to be said! Incredible video with nothing left out. I love it ! Well done and thank you!!!

[@grindmoto9362]

Great tutorials! How to add new angle to multicam clip?

[@MikeBeltracchi]

Super Cool! This is great and very easy to use.

[@CAMTechChris]

Hey Jenn, it's a year later so you may not see this but thank you so much for this video! I've been doing it the hard way until now. Awesome video, thank you!

[@JennJagerPro]

I see you! Thanks for the shout

[@bobdebolt3321]

Thanks for another well do video young lady!

[@dipdoting]

I looked through many other videos on FCP multicam techniques, and yours was definitely the most informative! Love the use of real-world examples and "what-if" scenarios! This saved me a lot of time, thank you!

[@hkhk11]

Thank you for your clear and thorough explanations, which included both verbal instructions and visual demonstrations. Your approach was especially helpful compared to the more rushed methods of others. HKHK11

[@JennJagerPro]

Thank you so much!

[@NEZZOTV]

GREAT tutorial, thank youu

[@JohnLe]

Hi Jenn, thank you for the video. it was very helpful as I have been trying to implement this into my workflow. I have a question, and maybe it's a bug. I am currently using the audio from my main camera, but switching video between camera A and B, but at every cut, the audio seems to go in & out or pop. It doesn't seem smooth. Did I do something wrong? thanks,

[@chipcurry]

Thank you for such incredibly clear explanations. And thank you for not putting idiotic music under your explanation! Five stars!

[@Tariusknight]

OMG I'm blown away! All this time I've REALLY been doing this the hard way! Thank you so much!! I'm subscribed!

[@surik5994]

Slow motion mxf video not input into fcpx how to fix problems

[@olympiafridaysatthefirstco2531]

Great tutorial. I would prefer to soften the cuts with a short cross dissolve. The hard cuts are, well, just sort of hard. I've looked high and low and everywhere in between for information on this subject. I find absolutely nothing. Can you or anyone here help me learn to do some cross dissolve on a multicam clip? Is it even possible? If it's possible can a pre-set dissolve be easily applied to all cuts at once on the timeline? Thanks.

[@olympiafridaysatthefirstco2531]

(Longish) Seems I worked out a “sort of” solution to the issue. Go to Final Cut Pro > Preferences > Edit to get the transition settings menu. In each box you can use the up/down arrows, though they jump in one second increments. To get more precise times, click on the box with the numbers and type in the desired duration of your dissolve. In my case I'm after a quarter of a second timing so I typed in 0.25. I set my desired time in both the crossfade and transition boxes. I really don't know the difference but at least one of the other gets the job done. Back to multi-cam editing. I make my angle cuts. To get that quarter second cross disolve on each, I click on the skinny little dotted line representing the cut to highlight it. Then type Command + T. The hard cut is now softened with my pre-set transition. No need to drag anything over from the transition menu (the one with the bow tie icon). I'm trying to stop after each cut and make the cross dissolve happen as I go. Fairly effective, if tedious. No magic “apply to all cuts” feature available. Yet. If y'all have any pull with the guys down in Cupertino, please put in a suggestion to include what would be a great little addition in the next Final Cut upgrade. Thanks. - p

[@LeuyinTv]

Wow easy, straightforward, love this, you have a new subscriber! thanks!

[@JokesandtheGymwithRudyTyburczy]

Great tutorial! Thanks Jenn! Very clear and welcoming and helpful. :)

[@superabundantegracapodcast]

Fantastic tutorial! Congrats!!!👏👏👏👏😭

[@craigw.scribner6490]

Thanks so much for this video! I've watched half-a-dozen others on KZbin over the past two years and never could get it to work myself (duh!). But now, after watching your tutorial, success!!!

[@TVGuy729]

Hi Jenn, great video as always. Question: is there an easy way to add drone footage to your multicam sequence? The drone records no audio, so I usually just stack it & line it up as best as possible...

[@JennJagerPro]

I think you're doing it the only way possible. One tip would be to have someone clap their hands in the drone shot and in range of the mic on another angle to help you sync it up.

[@Withoutwalls388]

does fcpx work with m2 macbook pro?

[@DrummerJose]

Absolutely wow. This is amazing. Subscribed for life! Thank you for this.

[@kalgyimesi]

Outstanding tutorial! Makes it really clear and shows how powerful FCP is...thx!!

[@toncl01]

Nice one. Well explained. Thanks.

[@JayWeldy]

I agree with pretty much everyone else in the comments, you and your channel are God sent. My usage of FCPX is love/hate and sometimes think I should switch to Resolve or such. Then I see your channel and the advanced things you're doing. Just great that you share!

[@RonRicho]

I have look at NUMEROUS tutorials on FCPX multicam editing and they all made it sound easy but this one is the one that taught me how to get the most out of it. Many, many thanks!

[@Chinky_and_Papis_World]

Excellent. This is by far the best video and explanation of this topic. It's very logical. Thank you

[@djexotiq]

very helpful, thank you

Thanks for taking the time to put that together I'm new to fcp and this is going to help heaps for filming music gigs I can run 4 cameras at once .great job Mrs jager

Hi Jenn! So glad I found you. Thanks for this very helpful video! Looking forward to checking out your other videos as well.

[@ninotamburri]

Great tutorial, thanks :-)

[@LucaDePazzi]

Very Helpful and well explained. Thanks a bunch!

[@MixiMera]

Thanks! Now that is another great reason for getting Final Cut Pro and a Mac for my new line of work. I have ordered them, but it hasn’t been cleared yet. I need to eventually go through a lot of your videos.

[@mario.figueroa]

Thanks Jenn!! Exactly what I was looking for. 🙏🏽

[@naturalistamisha]

This is probably the best tutorial I have watched. It is so thorough and thoughtful it didn’t leave anything out. It felt like a formal professional training. Thank you so much! This has helped me learn a great skill.

[@rayfordgibson6257]

That was awsome, easy to understand, You're the Best JENN 👍🏾😊

[@ShowRyuKen]

Thanks so much for this - this information is going to be super-useful!

[@JennJagerPro]

Thanks for watching!

[@meetrichardreyes]

I'm in multi-cam edit but my scissors don't show up in the multi-cam section to just click and edit like you did in this video. Is there something I need to click on for them to show up in the mulit-cam section?

[@JennJagerPro]

The scissors only show up when you're editing in your main timeline. You need to drop that Multicam clip into your main timeline to switch the angles.

[@meetrichardreyes]

@@JennJagerPro Thank you so much. I see my issue and corrected it and of course I now see the scissors 👍

[@ahannemann]

I finally had a need for multi-cam editing and this was a terrific video. I love your style of just getting into the content without so much fluff that I see on other videos. I put this video into immediate use. Thank you!
