Here's an overview of the procedure to work with a Multiclip and listen to a
master audio track while editing:
1
Edit the Multiclip into the Timeline - video to V1, audio to A1 and A2.
2
Edit the master soundtrack to audio tracks A3 and A4. Do not edit
video - sound only!
3
Turn off the monitoring to audio tracks A1 and A2.
4
Double click your Multicam sequence to make it active in the Viewer.
5
Click the drop-down box located towards the
middle of the Viewer and select Open.
6
Click the yellow Scrubber Bar in the Timeline and run your Multicam
sequence. The Soundtrack you hear will be the master soundtrack
playing back on A3 and A4. The sound from A1 and A2 will be mute.
The result is you hear the sound from the master camera and will not hear the
distracting sound of cutting between the different camera angles.
Fine Tuning your Multicam Sequence
The beauty and power of cutting a multi-camera sequence in a post-
production environment is you can get the editing just right. Better
than a live cut!
There are two strategies to achieving this. First you can fine tune as
you go; stop-starting and making whatever alterations are necessary.
Alternatively, you can do the entire Multicam edit as a live mix and
then go back afterwards for the fine tuning.
For fine-tuning edits your best friend is the Roll tool, accessed by
pressing the letter R on the keyboard or by selecting from the
Toolbar. The Roll Tool looking like a figure 8 and lets you extend or
reduce edits without affecting the length of your sequence. All that is
affected is the duration of the shot you are extending or reducing
and the shot immediately next to that which you are altering.
