multicam function

[timothychew]

in multicam mode, in the situation where some camera pause in between recording, will it sync accordingly with the timecode by automtically inserting gap between 3 cam?

[GrassValley_BH]

It depends on what multicam sync mode is set. In Timecode sync mode, it will line up clips by matching timecode.

edius

but if we do accroding to the edius network training

add all the file in the bin it , will edius know which clip belong to which cam

or it will end up with how many clip how many track

[GrassValley_BH]

EDIUS doesn't know which clip belongs to which virtual camera, so it will add each clip and align it as it each was a separate camera.

[timothychew]

ok

then if i stop record alot the for like 99 time
it will come out 99 track right !

[GrassValley_BH]

Well, there's an 8-camera limit...
If you already have some clips you can test with, just download the demo and give it a try.

edius multicam

I am using edius

but My problem is my camera man pause alot during consert

Cam 1 : like 30 clip
cam 2 : 100 clip
cam 3: 55 clip
cam 4 :19 clip

can I still use edius multicam

[GrassValley_BH]

Yes, you can still use multicam.

All the clips from a particular camera should be put on the same video line.

[timothychew]

how

how to do so

do u mean I need to add camera clip
cam by cam

and if I do it like this can edius but blank on the timecode that I am pausing

or can u show me how !

thanks

[GrassValley_BH]

I don't have enough clips to check this myself, so I will just walk you through.

Are you using EDIUS v4? If so...

1. Switch to Multi Cam mode (default F8)
2. Assign a track to C1
3. Assign another track to C2
4. Select Mode > Sync point > Timecode
5. Select a number of clips in the Bin
6. Drag the clips from the Bin to the timeline

This is going to be a huge project no mater what software you use. If all cameras had their timecode synced to a master clock it will be "less" of a project, but trouble none-the-less.

#1 rule...
Mark your tapes.
#2 rule...
Tape is cheap, let the cameras run.

Multitracking

how to sync all this standalone cam
with my SEG that is recording using DVCAM DSR 11

USing Super cable ( not IEEE1394 )

Can I set the date and time code to sync with my others cam

SEG record the whole thing

ANy solution

If your cameras have free-run capability, just make sure to reset all TC to 0 for all cams, then switch on freerun. You might be off one or a couple of frames after capture, but at least you're close to the source and you can match it with audio (Or photo flashes if available).

[timothychew]

without freerun

so if I use a normal cam without freerun

I use edius to do the multitracking editing

Do u guys thinnk it is ok

[Rusty]

Of course you can Multicam any footage. I think SD is after a smoother workflow for future jobs.

With your camera operators going on/off throughout the program, it won't make your job any easier.
