Multicam Pan/Event Question

Zeitgeist wrote on 3/2/2012, 9:54 AM

Hi, I did a three cam shoot and used the Vegas multicam edit feature for all the footage. The problem is one of the stationary cams was crooked needing a rotation fix. Is there a way to fix this after the footage has been combined for multicam editing? The video is completely edited except for this glaring mistake. As of now, I have to go to each event for the footage from the crooked cam and fix the the rotation. Is there another way?

Hi Zeitgeist,

The way I've accomplished this in the past was to do the Pan/Crop or Track Motion adjustments in a separate project, containing only the clip(s) from the stationary camera. Nest that VEG into the parent project, onto one of the multicamera tracks. That way you can also do any necessary keyframing.

Since you've already done the editing, just find the clip (of the problematic camera angle) in Project Media, right-click > Replace... and select the VEG that contains your Pan/Crop adjustments.

I hope my explanation is sufficiently clear. If not, feel free to let me know. :)

I just checked in Vegas 10, but you can do this in 11 I think.

Afyer you do your multicamera editing, go to TOOLS - MULTICAMERA - Expand to Multiple Tracks.

This will take all your tracks you used for multicamera editing, make them back in to separate tracks (with the parts you didn't use muted), then you can do a track-wide motion to fix the issue.

Thanks a lot for the help. Friar that worked easily.
