Effects on tracks with Multicamera editing

marcel-vossen wrote on 7/5/2017, 9:08 AM

Hi there,

I'm editing a project with 4 camera angles , and I also need to correct the footage in the seperate tracks for color, exposure etc BEFORE changing the project into a multicamera track and doing multicamera editing. Since the correction can also change from time to time I can't put the effects on the entire tracks either, I need to correct the seperate pieces of footage on the timelines.

The problem is that I lose all these corrections when I create the multicamera track.

What is the right way to do this? How can I colorcorrect the single tracks and keep these changes in the final track that I pick the angles from using Multicamera editing?

Do I actually need to make 1 multitrack or can I also pick the camera angles from 4 screens by selecting 1,2,3,4 with the number keys in another way preserving the 4 seperate track with their filters?

Or would I really need to render all the tracks first and use this as the input?

Thanks!

I do quite a bit of multicam editing. My workflow is first match the cameras by applying the required FX on a media level. Than create the multicam track and do final correction on the event level. All FX applied on the event level will be lost when you create the multicam track but FX applied on the media level remains.

Thank you! That's a great idea, I didn't realize the effects on the media level will stay.

I know this is an old thread, but I've been completely unable to get the fx to stick if I apply them and then create a multicam track.

Marcel, can you post (assuming you see this) the steps that work for you?

I've got MS 13-15 so I should be able to replicate this no matter what version you're using.

Thanks!

If you want to apply FX before creating the multicam you need to apply them at the media level in the media pool.
