watching this before going to shoot my first video wish me luck 😳

[@damiencooper]

good luck

[@birdy5275]

Same! Good luck dude!

[@m4ntis786]

Good luck

[@conversationnation7]

How’d it go

[@2m0rot]

Me too, how did you get on?

[@joshdiditt]

Damn. That multicam is a game changer. I have been syncing everything manually FOR EACH scene. WOW

[@damiencooper]

Nooo don’t 😂

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

Same here! Damn! Wow- mind blown 🤯!

[@wonderwoman1700]

It’s not a bad thing to know how to do that because you can control all of the awkward milliseconds that don’t need to be in the scene as well.

[@besosdenyc]

Same here! Didn’t really understand how to use the multi-cam until now!

[@dylanmcvey1047]

@@damiencooper so this multi-came sequence actually involved multiple cameras? or this is with one camera that filmed from various perspectives/angles?

[@modernmusicstudio303]

I like your point about playing the original audio being heard in the shots. It's so much easier to reference where your at in the song whne you do it that way. Thanks for the tips!

[@vinigoeswest]

This is great! I am in the process of shooting a music video and this multi cam editing timeline will definitely come in handy! Thanks! 🙌

[@jayteesgear]

Super cool advice and after years of being on pro music video sets I now understand why they had the song playing at each take/location

[@Prejippie]

Though we’ve been making music videos for about 4 years now, I am not a videographer and appreciate learning better ways to be more productive. Thanks for giving me a few new techniques to try (I never name my layers, so I will try that to help move things along better)! 🧑🏾‍💻😎🙌🏾

[@damiencooper]

It’s all about workflow 😉

[@TrueNorf]

VERY HELPFUL! Thankyou! I have been asked to shoot a music video in a few weeks, out of the blue, so am frantically doing as much research as possible before I get going. This video BY FAR has been the most beneficial to me as a beginner! 👍🏾😁

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

really great video dude, I love how you explain things.

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

Great content was suprised to only see 27k subs.

@Monkeypixel, which is the best camera for shooting music videos?

[@alanburke7508]

Absolutely one of the best tutorials for creating a music video on Final Cut Pro. 100. appreciate you.

[@_mubarak02]

Basic , simple and straightforward love this thanks A lot !

[@AndYandJennY]

To the point and great advice! Thank you ! This video should have way more views !

[@besosdenyc]

Great insight and advice! Thank you!

[@Jeff123Cali]

So helpful, thanks! Great to know about the multi-cam.

[@theb-sidetalk4766]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you keeping this so I can actually show it to my students in High School. SO many others are completely misogynistic and replete with drug use. Thanks!

[@relicreapers571]

Excellent. Nicely done quick and great info. 👍

Very helpful,thanks man,subscribed!

[@hanaabreak1987]

Thank you💙

[@ovadoseooo947]

This is so important to me. Im a independent artist. Im doing everything myself. If I know how to do everything? (Like shooting a video) I won't need a major label. Id be doing everything those guys are doing. I already release music. And I can shoot my own videos. Back in the day? You had to make it big before you could even do that stuff! Today? You don't have to wait to be famous... You can turn yourself into a Star! I have to learn this!

[@lucsonbarthelemy1146]

Thank you

Nice

[@JamesA_Art]

Really Clear Video! I'm just curious if, when you replace the audio in post, is that a studio recording with the singers voice? Or is it just the 'clean' audio?

[@matthiasfoo1217]

That multicam function is smth else, my past final cut projects have just been messes of layers on top of one another 😂

[@toxicdriver6402]

As a beginner would using a Cannon EO5 rebel be ok for starting out until able to get better camera? I've had multiple video ideas and have been writing the screen play for each one is that a good thing to start off doing?

[@akingbadeomosebi1495]

@Birdy... I have my very first shoot to perform on Saturday/Sunday. I'm a bit anxious and sorta nervous as well... it's a low or almost zero budget shoot, we'll use nature as our friend. I'm the camera + gimbal guy + director. I saw your comment, which means u had an experience last month. I wish I can dm you and take all your tips and advice and know how it went... What worked and what didn't. Kindly respond asap, I'll greatly appreciate it. P.s I'm using an a6400 + Sigma 16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4 and a Sirui p1 Gimbal, also with a fluid head tripod.

[@RajBeats]

Great video. Any idea how to do the automatic audio sync to all clips in Adobe After Effects?

[@javygody4899]

it is easier in Premiere

[@360pearlvisions3]

Perf, my next hobby

Thank you, just need to shoot one for the first time, helps a lot! 🙏

[@johnsonfranklin3971]

Lovely video

[@vikingmusic1876]

Nice video bud, do you need to perform whole song multiple times in every other outfit and place?

[@damiencooper]

That’s how I do it for most videos. It’s easier in post and requires no pre production

[@abdurrakibsyed7071]

nice

hey just wondering if you know if there is a mulitcam set up option in Filmora X? please & thanks!
