Thanks for your video! It answered a bunch of questions I have on editing my second camera in for the first time. One thing I would suggest is to add text to the screen with the keyboard shortcuts you described and/ or add them to the description box so we can find them more easily. For us newbies, learning all of this can turn into a bit of a alphabet soup with all the keyboard shortcuts to try to remember. Thanks again!

love the video, thank you. I hear you say you are using the a6400. I am having the hardest time transferring video from my Sony a6400 to my iPad pro (or any other iOs device). What do you recommend... how do you do it (I can only transfer via SD card to Windows PC). Thank you!

[@CreativeTechLab]

The Sony Imaging Edge app should work. I did a video here on the iphone. But it should work the same on the iPad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKusZ2Z3dpl0aqc

[@dlucas527]

This was super cool. What do you recommend for a lighting setup that is best for people of color? I travel full-time around the world. I don't have a permanent setup. I am mobile so I need something straightforward and simple. I have 3 lights. Could you tell me what the best positioning for the light is? My wife had Final Cut Pro but I don't think we can both use it. My wife and I have a youtube travel channel that is doing much better than my own. I want to get my own thing going.

[@CreativeTechLab]

Thanks for watching. As far lighting it depends on your situation. This video was lit using the gear in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWfVlpubmNOcd6c If you need something more portable, I'd look at something like the Nanlite Pavotube: geni.us/m8HuQX3 Hope that helps 👊🏽

[@Ferdybroom]

Thanks Leo, well presented and it's solved a couple of problems for my 2-camera live music videos. But I have a glitch that I still can't seem to get around. Whenever I jump between camera 1 and camera 2 in order to see what's doing what I cannot see camera 2 in the iMovie large monitor screen top left. All it will ever show me is camera 1. I'm using iMovie 10.1.14 running Catalina on my iMac. Any tips? Cheers...Duncan

[@CreativeTechLab]

Hi thanks for watching. Not exactly sure why the other clip wouldn't play. Only thin I know is that whatever clip is on top will be the one that shows. And you need to have your settings set to cutaway to be able to work with a multiple cam style edit.

[@aishakrakobransen]

Thank you for your video. How do I get the two videos in line? The audio is not in synch and somehow I am not able to fix this. Thank you very much

[@CreativeTechLab]

When I'm shooting I make sure to clap before I start. That way I have a large spike in the audio to line it up. Otherwise I try to find a similar loud noise in the audio and use that to line it up

[@cicig9]

dope video

[@CreativeTechLab]

Big up

[@FelineNetworktv]

Just subscribe thanks king

[@healthforwealth]

Thankyou! Does this also work with 3 camera's?

[@CreativeTechLab]

Technically no. It’s get complicated after two. You could edit the first two angles, export them as one file. And then add the the third in a new project. But at that point i think it’s just best to get Final Cut Pro

[@AhsanAli786]

One Question, when doing the multicam video shoot, should I make video in one shoot even when I mess up couple times in the video and later edit it? or shoot a video while doing start recording and stopping and so on.

[@CreativeTechLab]

Hey thanks for watching. I find shooting one continuous clip way easy to edit. That way you're only syncing the clips once. And you can cut what you need to on both clips, the way I edited in this video. Hope that helps!

[@AhsanAli786]

[@CreativeTechLab]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bluegarren9361]

Thanks for the video. But if you detach the audio, is there a way to delete the main clip and use the second camera angle and the original detached audio for the movie? Even if the second camera angle is the entire length of the audio every time I delete the main camera angle it all gets deleted. You can't do things like transitions to the second camera angle. The second camera video was way better so I used it for the movie. The audio was recorded from the first camera. Thanks! Blue Has anyone figured this out?

[@CreativeTechLab]

I think the problem u may be running into is that the audio is still connected to the main audio clip. Trying moving the audio up to the second clip and see if that works.

[@ss32000]

I'm assuming this would work as well with 3 cameras? I'm trying to record my son's soccer game and I'm thinking of mounting 2 cameras on 13 ft tripods to span half the field with a third camera on a tripod at field level to track the action. I think it could be pretty cool to see all the action and this might make it pretty easy to put everything together after the fact. Plus learning how to detach the audio could be nice and great so I can freely talk.

[@CreativeTechLab]

3 cameras would be kinda tough because you can only have two videos tracks in iMovie. Technically you could edit the first two videos and then export and bring it back into the program. Then add the 3rd camera. But to be honest, once you need to edit more than two streams, it’s best to move to something like Final Cut Pro that has multi cam editing.

[@ss32000]

@@CreativeTechLab thank you for the heads up. I might look at that. It’s a pet project for my kids and it’s fun to have good videos of their playing days.

[@karven017]

Whenever i cut a clip normally the next video should stay in its place and there should be a gap right… but in my mac thats not the case

[@CreativeTechLab]

Not sure what's happening there

[@misterfufu]

Any tips on adding a 3rd camera? Imovie seems to merge a 3rd video with another

[@CreativeTechLab]

A third camera becomes more complicated in iMovie. To do it you'd have to edit the 1st two clips, render it, and then add the third angle in another project. But at that point I think it would be better to move to Final Cut Pro. It would be a lot easier.

[@misterfufu]

@@CreativeTechLab yea as soon as I have the cash 🤣

[@hipwardx]

How do i set speed to x4 on imovie do you know about that? Because my video is kinda long

@Creative Tech Lab Im on mobile can you help me with it?

[@kmart014]

I use my iPhone to film. If I use 2 phones and attach 1 mic to both phones would that be easier

[@CreativeTechLab]

U would just need good audio from one phoneand then scratch audio from the other to sync the video.
