colour coding cameras

[Hutch TV]

I am recording bands and are doing a 4 camera multicamera edit that sees three "takes" of each song. There are 4 songs.

I want to color code each take to the one colour but its a slow process clicking on each clip.

It would be easier to highlight a group of clips and just change the color so that all 4 clips within the group change automatically. This would mean only having to do this 12 times.

As it is I have to click on 48 camera clips individually.

I normally do this before I make cuts

but you can do it like this once the cuts are made:
correct the first clip of Cam1, place playhead at end of clip 1 and press Ctrl+End (this will select all clips after clip one of Cam 1)
drag the filter from info palette of first clip to any of the selected and it will be applied to all selected
repeat this for the other 3 cameras

Hi Anton, I seem to get lost at the ""drag the filter from info palette" stage you refer to.

See attached a sample of how I need it to look.

let me show you a simple demo

This is more what I mean Anton, I didn't really understand your video and how you made the initial clip the colour you want it to be or why use a colour correction filter?

Here is a short sample of what I am trying to do https://youtu.be/Ge-mEEY6pdI

oops, sorry, I thought you meant color correct

you can change color of multiple selected clips in the bin by going to icon view, but you need to do it before adding to timeline (be sure to enable the color column which is not enabled by default)

Anton that doesn't work for me for I need to cut up long camera recordings once in the timeline.

In that case you could drag from timeline to bin, change color and drag back to timeline
