The automated Multicam workflow on Final Cut is a godsend!! Could you maybe do one where you have multiple clips? For instance, on a longer shoot, the average camera shoots for just under 30 mins continuously. Is there an easy way to set up Multicam clips for maybe 2-3 such clips (an overall runtime of like 1.5 hours or so)? Just as an example.Right now I normally try and cut/restart all at around the same time so as to make multiple Multicam clips, but is there an easier way? Thanks!
omg i can't believe I've been using FCPX for 2 years without using this feature 😐 Thanks to this video I understand how easy it is to work with multicam clips, appreciate it!
same here, been using it for a few years already, and this is just an amazing tool, im editing a cooking show with 4 and sometimes 5 cameras, this is heaven for this kind of projects. thanks for sharing
I went through about 3 tutorials for this and none of them made sense and left out crucial information. This was super concise and it finally clicked for me. THANK YOU!
Super helpful video Jeven. Thank you! I'm literally working on my first project in FCP and I was able to follow along easily. Except for 7:30 where you lost me on creating a new timeline. Thankfully someone in the comments already asked and answered the question so I'm good to go!
I've tried for literally years to master the multicam protocols, with no lasting success. Tried several lesson sequences; this is the FIRST time I have truly understood and made work the technique involved.. Can't wait to try other videos of yours for application to other long-term mysteries.
Jeven WTF!!! Where have you been all my life? How could I not know about this. I feel like you just gave me 3 hours a day of my life back. Thank you so much!
Jeven thanks so much! This is exactly the setup I have (2-3 cams and separate audio), and the workflow I have been missing. Your explanation is really well organized, clear, and concise. And the quality of your lighting, exposure, grading, audio, not to mention editing of course - really excellent. One of the best video tutorials on RUclips - nice work!
How do you want to keep 4 cams running when they are dynamically operated by camerapeople? This is what I need to know for filming dance videos. The lack of a vertical dimension to the timeline is killing me. As is the inability to edit to audio that is externally sourced
@@gold333 For a recent wedding, I used 3 cameras plus separate audio recorders, all synchronized with timecode: For the cameras, I record onto Atomos Ninja V, all synchronized with Atomos Sync modules. One camera is the master, and the others are slave, and they wirelessly sync. I use the Ultrasync for the recorder(s), and it is also linked to the master Atomos. I was able to import the 3 camera footage, plus audio from a mix-pre-10 and 3 Tentacle Track-E bodypacks and it all aligned perfectly. One thing that makes it easier is - just leave all the recorders running for the whole event, assuming you have sufficient storage on your Atomos (I put 2 TB drives on each). Then import everything and align with timecode. Then it is easy to go in and cut/delete what you don't need, and start editing the clips you do need.
@@ericpersson8753 This makes no sense. How do you want me to keep 4 camera people and a flying drone continuously shooting RAW 14 bit video for 5 hours? A dance video is tens of performances of the same 3 minute dance routine for hours. Filmed by a static wide angle cam, a dynamic close up 50mm, a face zoom from 85mm+ and a drone doing aerial shots. All cameras record the exact same body beats (body movements, choreography). In Premiere I could sync up all clips vertically so that the entire 3 minute edit was in sync across all cameras (clips). I.e. timestamp: 0:27:37 all dancers hip thrust. That hip thrust was in sync across all clips (all cameras) because they were stacked vertically in the timeline. If I said I want the static wide angle cam to hold a half second longer on the hip thrust I simply drag out and extend that clip and drag back the clip following it. -Things didn't suddenly go bouncing around the timeline destroying my overall choreography sync-. if I changed the length of a single clip. I can't do this in FCPX and I think its hell, because it renders faster than Premiere
@@gold333 It seems that what worked for me is probably not a good fit for your situation - I didn't realize how much footage you are talking about. Regardless, I think timecode could be beneficial for your timeline coordination. Good luck and post a link when you get a finished product we can see.
I"m a teacher and this video is a God Sent! My students created a music video and Your RUclips is a wonderful. It made this student project easy to edit! Thank you soooo much!!!
This tutorial is great. I will admit I didn't grasp every thing the first time I watched it. After trying a few multicams, watching a couple of other simpler videos. I can't back to this and now I really get it. I'm watching it one more time and taking notes.
Absolute life saver! thank you so much! I just found out about the audio drifting/synchronizing feature and then studied this. I've been manually editing for hours with 2 camera angles and 4 microphone inputs!
You just saved my life. I have am interview, that i did 2 month ago, with two angels, and it was to hard to edit, now i will finish it in two days. Thank you sooooo much.
Plowed through several videos on the topic and this is by far the best and only video to answer all my needs to get started in multicam editing on FCP which I've just switched from Premiere Pro, thanks Jeven!
Jeven - I saved this video a while back and have just watched back alongside creating my first multicam and what can I say... massively impressed with this video, awesome guide. Lost me for a minute when sourcing the footage to make a multicam starting off and then again with creating a new timeline when I already had one so had to reference the internet again being a complete FCPX novice but thank you man, this is a game changer for me. Everything in this video is amazing and has worked a treat - thank you once again!!!
i'm switching to final cut from premiere because premiere keeps on freezing my computer. out of all the FCPX tutorials this is the only one i can find that actually explains the multicam in a way i would understand. Step by step, no skipping. Thanks. Great video.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! I had just shot a wedding using three cameras in different parts of the church and had never heard of Multicam editing. Wow! What a huge timesaver. And you explained it so clearly. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Do you have a video on how to edit certain sound files within the multicam editor? Like if I want to add a denoise plugin, or even crop a certain section of the camera footage differently? Thanks!
This was great. It got me to buy Final Cut Pro. I'm trying to use 3 cameras to record my son's soccer and I think this will be great to do a quick cuts to make a video for the full game and look awesome.
thank youuuuu so much for making this video OMGGGGG i was about to give up on learning how to edit on FCX due to the whole audio sinking and cutting clips correctly aligned to each other ughhh omg u have saved me
Maestro and I have an "interview" and walk-through video coming up, and she is so excited to be able to use Multicam to improve our final video style - thanks for the great info.
Thank you!! This is the easiest to follow tutorial I’ve seen! I literally managed to edit a 3 cam, 4 audio project straight after watching - my workflow just got a whole lot easier!
Thank you for this video! I’m editing a four cam hockey game on NHl ice and have never used the multi cam feature!! This will safe me SO MUCH TIME!! Thanks again
Brilliant tutorial…many thanks for sharing. Have been using iMovie for a long time & I’m soon gonna start using Final Cut. Will make editing footage from 2 cameras much easier. Have done it in iMovie via the Cut away option but takes quite a long time. This will be much quicker plus I’m looking forward to all the other features Final Cut offers 👍😁 🎥 🎞️
This made my editing so much easier! I’m a beginner so this is so helpful. Question, how do I insert power point slides in between videos in a multi cam editing? Think of when speakers use power point slides and I would like to show the slides.
This is the single most helpful video I've discovered for multi-cam editing, my workflow was really tedious and it made me put off editing. Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial vid I've seen that will help me immensely! Thank you so much!! I wish I could just record it all video and audio sources) directly into final cut as well.
I came across this video at the perfect time! I will totally use this technique for a training event this coming Saturday. Thank you! This is a total lifesaver!
Thank you so much for the thorough tutorial on this feature! For me, this was the most helpful video on using this feature. You covered all the most important workflow tips necessary to get faster on multicam editing.
Very helpful. Just used your tutorial to help me marry up footage from my iPhone 12, GoPro 9 and Nikon Z7ii. Worked perfectly. I will now have to go and create some more multi-cam material so I can practice before I forget!!!
Do you want to see more editing tutorials like this?
yes :)

Yes! Always love hearing fellow FCPX users show what they do on it
Yes! Your editing videos are very good and I always want to edit as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Bro, your the man. you made this sooooo easy. I'll be watching ALL your vids.
After trying to figure out the Apple 'guidance', this video was an real lifesaver!!
Is it possible to sync if one of the cameras has no audio? Sync without using audio to sync?
I'm a new editor and this video was so helpful!!!! Thanks!!!
Brilliant video. Much appreciated !
