Multiple camera editing

[Prairieboy]

Hey Folks

I have a few multiple camera edits to do in FCP4. Aside from syncing up the three cameras and cuting in the shot I wold like, is there a quicker, better way to handle it.

Thank you mucho!

Re: Multiple camera editing

After syncing the video clips on the timeline, scale each clip down to 25%, then set move each clip to one of the corners of the screen. If you have a G5, you can play back all the clips simultaneously in real time. On my older G4 machine, I render out another clip of the "multicam" setup, then lay that over the top. Then just use the razor blade to cut your clips where you want to switch camera angles. Finally, change your clip settings back to 100% and center position.
