Watched the entire video...why in the world do you think this method is better than multicam view where you switch between camera angles using the buttons 1 and 2...and 3...and that's it...I don't get it
Same... I think it's for beginners who are not familiar with using keyboard shortcuts? For someone who likes to click and drag, multicam editing in the edit page would probably be confusing? idk it's weird.
First rate explanation of the multi-cam capability of the Cut Page. As a complete novice to the craft of filmmaking, the Cut Page, along with Black Magic's Speed Editor, is where my post-production education has begun. The logic and quality of design and function are at a very high level, and make it possible for someone with no prior exposure to begin building skills in short order. Being able to craft a coherent narrative from moving images, and have those bits and pieces be of high aesthetic quality is a very steep hill to climb. Yet, tools -- and instructional videos -- such as these make many things possible. I appreciate your channel.
Thank you so much!
I’ve been forcing myself at work to use this method of doing multi cam and I still don’t get why this is supposedly a better method of doing it. I find it actually slows me down. When I drop a multi cam clip on my timeline and want to switch the angle I can just make a cut and select a different angle on the clip in my timeline. To me this is just more unnecessary steps because I have to move back to the cut page, find where it is in the source monitor, set and in and out, and then hit source overwrite. Maybe I’m just too used to the old way of doing this, but tell me if I’m just missing something here?
Hey. Just a quick tip I just learned today for those who may want to use sync by waveform. Apparently Davinci won't sync clips that are a mixture of different file types. For example, I did a multicam recently with three cameras. Two of them had source footage that were .mp4, and one was m2v. Both those types can be ingested in Resolve, but if you try to sync up all three, it fails. I tested this out and sure enough, if I sync by waveform with two of the SAME types (like two .mp4 files) it works fine. But if you put two .mp4 and an .mkv file in there, it will fail top sync.
Just thought you would like to know this.
Wow really? That actually explains a lot of issues that I've been having recently. Thanks for the heads up!
@@JayLippman Glad I can contribute. What kinds of problem were you having? Can you confirm this behavior please? Also, maybe you can experiment with other file types and see if two mkv files behave the same. I don't have two mkv files to check it out, I only have mp4. Also, can you contact Blackmagic and report this? Maybe they don't know and can fix it in a future update! Thanks
@@JayLippman I misspoke. I did some MORE research into this problem, and it really has to do with the audio tracks in your clips being stereo or mono. Davinci will not sync waveforms if one of the clips has different audio attributes. Don't have two syncable clips that have the same audio attributes but different video types, such as one that is mp4 and another that is m4v. Can someone test that out please? This is one of those little buglets that can drive you crazy when trying to sync and it would be a nice thing to know how to do a workaround.
This was incredibly useful. I was so lost with how to effectively use source overwrite. Thanks brother!
Glad it helped!
That deserved a SUBSCRIBE! Thanks Jay 👍
I was on the Edit Page editing a Multicam timeline of a classroom lesson when I saw this. I'm just a beginner, but I think this will help me. Until now, I've been watching footage in real time and switching from camera to camera....like using a switchboard in a studio. It gets boring. People who watch my edits also say the videos are boring. : P I think your method will help me to include only the important parts and to cut my videos faster. Your tutorial on the Cut Page is next on my viewing list.
Glad it was helpful! The multicam feature on the Cut Page is so much better than the one on the edit page, and when you get the Speed Editor, it makes it even better! I really need to get my hands on one.
Very good video and nice explanation.
At 7:30 the audio changed, not sure if that's due to the fact that the audio from the speicfic camera was used.
Thats exactly why. All of the audio tracks are active, so when you have overlapping clips you hear both audio files. Once the rough is done, you can move onto the edit page and remove the audio that you dont want.
This technique only works if you use the sync command to sync your footage. I haven't figured out how to take a timeline that I create manually, then covert to MultiCam to be used with this technique. In fact I cannot figure out how to use that timeline at all in the cut page.
Thanks Jay. That's awesome!
Thanks Dave!!
Hi @JayLippman
I shoot a wedding with 2 cameras. My camera 1 (camcorder) captured the entire weeding with 7 clips and my camera 2 (DSLR) only took a few short clips (17 clips). I first tried to align/sync all clips in my timeline, but that wasn't possible because alignment is only possible with one clip per track. Then I tried to sync all my clips with Multicam. It doesn't sync my clips serially either. It synced with some strange seriel. In my case, is there an effective solution in DR to synchronize all clips serially?
Please help me 🙏
Thank you! Now I need to learn how to mach colours from different cams
I've got a video coming out about that soon!
@@JayLippman I will be looking for that, thank you for your efforts and sharing!
Thanks, very helpful
What if I've already sync my clips (I'm editing a timeline of a slomo lipsynced music video) and want to make cuts just by choosing which camera I want to be?
when hitting sync, i dont have 3 camera selection
Love your stuff BTW, but I have a question and I have not found which video or videos will help me decide how to fix it.
The question is with a main wide + 3 people specific camera setup for an interview/chat am I better:
a) putting all the lav mic inputs through a mixer and applying to the main camera track, or
b) would you apply the audio for each talent on each of their respective cameras and have an omni mic on main for track syncing only?
Which is easier for editing and compiling the end result is my issue!!
Appreciate you probably have several videos that I need to watch but would really appreciate you pointing me to them if it is not too much bother.
Cheers. A.,
For the best results in post, I would have lavs for earch of your people, and then some kind of centralized mic (out of frame) to use as scratch audio for syncing. That way you can more easily dial in the editing of each separate voice.
Hope that helps!
@@JayLippman
Thanks so much for reading this and coming back to me. Indeed that was what I was planning with VIDEOMICPRO+ and 3 Filmmaker Kits... the problem is all 3 lav signals into one camera or each lav to each camera? The problem is what is the edit benefit with each lav to each camera as opposed to all 3 lavs mixed to one camera track!!!
For clarity:
Camera 0 - Wide shot all 3 people.
Camera 1 - Person 1 with Lav
Camera 2 - Person 2 with lav
Camera 3 - Person 3 with lav.
RODE MIC PRO+
So I have 2 audio combinations.
OPTION 1 : All 3 lavs mixed as input to Camera 0. MIC PRO + to a Tascam or Zoom...
or
OPTION 2: Lav 1 to Camera 1; Lav 2 to Camera 2; Lav 3 to Camera 3; MICPRO+ to Camera 0.
The point is how do I edit OPTION 2 with the audio spread over all the video tracks.
I guess option 1 is easier for edit but needs the mixer to control the audio into the Camera 0.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
Alex.,
I still hate multicam. In your intro you mentioned being able to go back and fix things in the multicam. The cut page Sync Bin for me is worse for this. I think that it is a great new concept but I have asked BMD people and others - If you do an edit ( like yours ) and you find that you missed an angle and then want to add it into that Sync Bin - How do you do that? I can't see how to reopen the Sync Bin to edit it. I was told by BMD that you can just make another one, but then there is no way then to connect that Sync Bin to the edit that you were working on. You would think that you could just reopen it and if something is slightly out of sync - just manually fix it and go back to work. Really think that is something that either should be way more obvious or they need to add it. Also the finished audio from an external recorder - you can switch over to edit tab and drop you audio below the A track and right click and sync the video track audio to the external audio.
The part that I like is that I attempted a multisync with concert footage and could build up the edit as I watched the individual camera angles - for instance watching back the drummers cam, I could throw an in and out just before a big fill - drop it down and continue - to the next cool drum part etc. Do the same for guitar solos or keyboards etc. And the edit comes together really quickly and uses way less resources than trying to play 15 angles at a time the old way. Really cool way of doing music based multicam. But again - I started that edit process and one of the cheaper cameras used the audio drifted and the cam over time went out of sync. Normally if is not that much I would open the multicam and cut out a few chunks and realign to sync.
I hope BMD keeps working on this functionality as you pointed out - it does make things faster when everything works. Thanks for the video - Cheers
I would love to be able to add a new angle to a sync bin. I havent run across a situation where I've needed to yet, but I can only imagine the frustration lol. Thanks a lot Jim!
In addition to wanting to ADD another angle, I want to be able to change an angle that is already in my timeline. For example, I picked camera 1, but then changed my mind and want it to be camera 2. know a way to do that?
@@moodberry To change an angle that has already been cut onto the timeline - hold the alt key and click on something else. or right click on it and choose a different angle
Awesome Jay!!!
Thanks Randall!
Hi, Jay, great video! I'm suffering from the 'Media Offline' bug at the moment too. It shows at the end of all my clips. Using DR 17 latest beta.
Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is there. Hoping it will be fixed by the full release. Also, thanks fir watching!
@@JayLippman Hopefully! 🤞
The Cut page is so hard to edit with the size of the audio waveform on the timeline. Will sync bin work for multiple multicam clips? For example, for a tutorial that I was making today I had to stop OBS and camera recording and restart DR every time I did a change that required caching. This left me with a lot of multicam clips. I ended up manually syncing all of the clips by hand because I couldn't just select all of them together and right click "Create Multicam..." It would throw an error and only connect 2 of the clips.
Absolutely! You would just need to separate your sets of multicam clips into different bins. So one set would be in a bin called "Sync 1" and the other set would be in a bin called "sync 2." The names of the bins are entirely up to you, but it will work!
what do you do when audio syncing doesnt work, and you have no time code. and sync by marker doesnt want to work. I think my version is messed up only plays 1 video on top of the other even in multicam mode.
At 1:38 that icon does appear on my screen but is not clickable. I did select the option to use audio to sync the clips when I created the multi-clip. Is that why I can't click it now? If I click the actual multi-clip, it brings up the 3-camera view in the main viewer. At 3:33 next to Media Pool is Effects Library, not Sync Pool. I still don't really know how to control what panels show and which don't. Black Magic changes things so fast, maybe that's it.
It might be lol. I'd have to look at your settings to see how to make it look like mine. Sorry!
What program you use to capture your desktop and what format you export to edit in davinci resolve, thank you
I use Wondershare Demo Creator for my screen recordings. I do all of the panning and zooming in there, and then I export it as a 4K h.264 file that I then bring into Resolve for editing.
@@JayLippman thank you so much for information
Jay, great video explanation! Thanks! BUT, how do you sync only the video while maintaining your best audio track? thx
Since you'll be bringing all of the audio in from all of the clips, once you move over to the edit page to refine your edit, you can just delete the audio you don't want to keep!
@@JayLippman Great!!
Or just solo the audio from the track you want audio from and stay in the cut page?
This shares the problem I see with every demo of the Sync Bin, namely that for demo purposes only one section of video is used. When I put in the Sync Bin let’s say 4 clips, each with three angles, therefore a total of 12 clips, the Sync Bin is unable to sync properly using audio waveforms. Personally I never have any project that only uses one section or clip length, so the feature is in reality useless. You are also supposed to be able to add in new clips to the Sync Bin, but I have never succeeded in doing this, and I’ve tried many times. A video on this would be great, as I can’t find one and the manual is vague about how to do it.
Wait im confused. You have clips that each have multiple angles?
WOOOOOW! THAT WILL REALLY SAVE ME A LOT OF TIME
Glad I could help!
davinci 17 , does not bring any sync window. Not working
Dafuq.... I NEVER use the cut page! Flabbergasted!!! Thank you for cutting 3 hours from my editing process 😂😂😂
Hahaha no problem! Glad it was helpful!
Oof... I was trying this and it didn't work at all... I have two cameras and Resolve created 16 cameras out of the consecutive clips, somehow... In the end, nothing was in sync and I had weird overlaps of non-matching footage. What did I break this time? 😅
Oh no!! That might be my fault actually. One thing I didn't make entirely clear is that you need to have the two clips you're syncing in it's own bin. If you have other clips in there it will attempt to sync everything and you'll get....well, exactly what you just got lol.
He i was wondering if you found a solution to this? I am having the same issue!
Best moment ever:
3:58 "so I should probably put my headphones on"
+puts headphones on while using multicam*
Yup. And I edited it using sync bin. And that clip will be used as an example in Mondays video. Its a multifunctional clip lol.
@@JayLippman I'll stay tuned
It seems much more difficult than multicam...
You are great!
Thank you!
@@JayLippman if i had to chose one guy to learn about davinci and having a beer you would be my first choice😁
Haha thanks dude! I dont drink, but I'm always down for coffee!
@@JayLippman i drink so much coffee, my eyes are already black😂😂
Your speed editor is made for multicam 🙂
I wish I had one
@@JayLippman Sorry, I thought you bought the package with an extra license. I'm still waiting for mine. I ordered it two months ago.
@@immanuelkuhrt8508 There is a great tutorial about multicam an the speed editor. It feels almost like mixing live.
First comment
Thanks for watching!
I like Resolve but most of my work is multicam. I use Premiere because it just works better for this.
