This is one of the best tutorials of ANYTHING that I've seen on KZfaq. Multicam specially! You're a great teacher, Jason! Thanks and congrats on the content :)

Jason, your video makes the process very simple. Thank you for creating this tutorial. I will start using Multicam again because of your great instruction.

Very good video. I have done several multicam projects and wondered why sometimes things don’t work the way they should. Thanks for your great explanations.

Awesome video Jason! very informative and not hard to follow. Appreciate yah! Now I just need to practice 👍

👍 Great video. As a total novice newb Davinci right now I jumped right into it with Multicam editing, (my wife held a 3 day event for entrepreneurs speaking 10 hours per day on stage, shot on 3 cameras and one screen recording of her PowerPoint slide deck during the presentation, so 4 cameras and 3 audio tracks, all to be used for her instructional digital marketing course. My syncing was a bit more clunky syncing al manually then saving each clip individually, then just using the "IN" for the sync when creating the multicam clip. When coming back in later if I forget to get everything set the sync is always still good. Its the long way and clunky, but helpful). Upgraded to studio with the purchase of the speed editor, (AMAZING TOOL, even if just for the scroll wheel, but especially for MultiCam editing)! Utilizing essentially the same workflow you outlined, the speed editor works in in all the tabs, not just the cut tab, and has the dedicated camera buttons, so as the its playing out in the timeline I just click the camera button # I want to transition to and presto. If I don't like the angle for a particular clip I chose I just place the playhead over that clip and double click the camera # that I want it it be and that entire clip becomes that new camera instantly. Thank you.

Great video and workflow👍 What can prevent Resolve from confusing clips: Write the angle for each camera in metadata before you sync (with detect clips from same camera: angle).

This was very helpful. I'm sure I will have to come back and watch a few times before the entire process sinks in.

Thank you Master

Great video. I didn't think about that colour grading approach for multi cam. It's a great idea, but I think it would only work on 100% controlled lighting situations and/or short videos. I have 30 minute multicam clips of interviews that get cut down to 5 minutes, and there's often a window within the room somewhere with light that can shift a touch, so I need to make tiny adjustments in white balance, light or power window a face, which requires independent coloring control per cut segment of the one clip, if you get me. Otherwise, you've nailed everything I recon there is to know about getting up and running with multi-cam clip editing.

Thank you so much Jason, I am new to DaVinci from FCP. Yesterday I spent all day trying to figure out how to make adjustments. SO GLAD I came across your video today. Thanks! 🎉

Best MULTI CAM video on the planet!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with patience and care. Wish you the best, bro.

Well explained and easy to follow. Thank you a lot, Jason. You made it easy for me to start my farewell process to Adobe and switch over to Davinci Resolve. (This was the function I was most anxious to loose.)

Jason, thanks for the video! When I learned about the multicam option years ago the tutorials left me uneasy about adjusting and colorgrading the angel clips. The multicam clip for me looked like a black box whose content you cannot work on easily any more. So I continued editing two or three camera material like in the old days. But your new video definitely changed my mind: the next multi camera project I'll do with multicam clip! - And also from me: 100k congrats!

I am doing a lot of MC ( 4 cameras and many mics and audiorecorders ) recording events/seminars/conferences.. When I moved to DVR I had to figure out a workflow that works for me so I can focus on the editing and cutting. Viewing your video I realize that I figured it out right - I am doing it almost as you do. I also make sure that I have at least one camera ( or audiorecorder ) turned on during the full length of the events to use as a base for syncing other sources. TIP: I am not using my Speed Editor that came with the DVR Studio license very much but it is very useful for MC-editing. Easy to switch angles, scroll the timeline and very important - double-click on a new angle if you cut into the wrong angle which often happens. Really enjoy and learning much from your DVR videos :-)

Great reference video. I’ll keep coming back to it. Thanks Jason

Thank you VERY much! most helpful

thanks , you resolve my problem

And there it is: 100K! Congratulations!

Damn that was a huge help, never seen such a complete guide on any topic. You really touched upon everything - Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks, very helpful, now to try it out...

The exact video I was looking for, thank you !!

Thank you Jason.

Excellent demo!

Well, you published a great video here to get over the 100K hump- Love your Crash Courses! And this one is for a technique I am just about to put to work. Thank You!

It's almost 100,000 now 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍

I have always wanted to do multi angle videos. Right now I only use my phone for filming. Eventually I will get a second camera. I was thinking about using a webcam to at least try multi-cam. I also need to figure out how to record my audio through DaVinci. I do have a pretty good Blue Microphone. To be honest, I never really even considered recording audio directly through DaVinci. I will be giving it a try. Many blessings to you.

Excellent Resource! Thank you so much!!!

AUDIO QUESTION: I'm interviewing a guest. How do I bring both audios into one track? Let's say I am asking her a question, and in the middle of me asking, the guest clears their Throat? How would I isolate it? Moreover, how would it be mixed, or how would both audio tracks be used for L and J cuts between them both? What capture device are you using? I am thinking about getting the DeckLink 8K Pro or the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G

Great video. Very helpful on many levels.

Love it. However I am not sure why you sync'd the first clip. Why not just do it as part of the Multicam and choose that preferred audio track. Genuine question as I am new to DR

how can i get the multi-cam view larger than half of the application window?

Awesome tutorial!!!

Great video as always! Any thoughts about using the Speed Editor with a multicam project?

boom - 100k congrats Jason

Very hepful tips, thanks. But one important point, Fairlight doesn't work with multicam in Resolve. As soon as we return to the Edit page we lose all the settings. Apparently this is a known problem and it's a shame, it would have been so handy to use fairlight like the Color page!

nice

Sooooo close to 100,000 #letsgo Great video, Jason - cheers man 🙏

Great video! Thanks for this post

clapping goodness, how do i equilise stereo audio as my right channel is sometimes higher or lower than my left,thanx

so awesome!

A few pointers - one - not good practice to name angles to the camera type - you can imagine the confusion for someone if there are many takes and the same cameras are used or the insignificance of an angle being name 60D when it's concert footage and there might be multiples of the same camera but in some of the videos that I have done 14 or 15 angles. For multicam, I would suggest that people use a naming convention that the editor or the colorist can easily tell what the angle is mid-left, mid-center, mid - right , Close up left etc. We used to use ML, MC, MR etc. I'm also a bit confused to why you synced the good audio with the camera first as well. I get that you do it that way. But you aren't changing the audio - you are only referencing the main audio - so not sure what benefit that step had, and it may confuse people who haven't done this before. The color grading part- you are actually making more steps than you need. Firstly - without using stacked timelines etc., if you right click the multicam where you were doing the editing, and choose - "Open in Timeline" you get to the stacked timeline - at the bottom it will leave a breadcrumb link trail ( to get back later to where you started ) - Now on the color page below the source monitor - just left of the little speaker icon is the "unmix" icon. When you turn that on, you can go from clip to clip and color grade. No need to go back and turn off tracks. You need to see all your clips to match the grades - so using the unmix option you can grade it just like any other video. When doing it this way be aware what happens when someone flattens the multicam - I don't know if it still happens but flattening the multicam used to wipe out the color grading done as we are discussing. Only mentioning because I had it happen to me with a 1.5 hour concert, and I had to go back with the flattened footage and put everything into groups and start over - so this I understand this isn't a color grading tutorial - but from experience when you grade even with small amounts of angles ( you had three ) grab a still of each angle - so if you have to go back and do what I did and assign same angles to groups - you can then just use the stills to put the grade back on the footage. Then of course clicking back to the editing tab to the stacked multicam - you just need to click back to the first link in that breadcrumb link ( bottom left in the timeline ) and you're back to where you started. This can be done at anytime as well, some people think they have to do it up front but you can complete the whole edit and go back and follow those steps and grade anytime. We also used to just sync all the video tracks with whatever scratch audio there was and when the real audio got mixed drop a master audio below the audio channel on the edited timeline and sync it manually and turn off the multican audio. With large projects ( concert footage ) the mix was done somewhere else and if everyone had to wait until it was mixed, it would back up production time. Also don't know why people shy from the cut page for multicam - it is quite unique and can be quite interesting to use. I did a couple of projects using the cut page - I actually used it to get every nuance in a concert that I edited by starting with an angle of the lead singer then musician by musician, I brought up their angle and from start to finish you can mark in and out when say a drummer does a cool fill and drop it right in sync over the main track - you keep working that way and by the end of the song - every cool fill is done - then go to the guitar player angle - mark in and out for the solo and just insert and so on. By the time you get through all the solos - most of the video is edited and nothing is overlooked. It is unconventional, but kind of cool. And it is never hard on your computer because in the end there is just two or three tracks on the master at any given time.

Great video, Jason! Thank you so much for this! Quick question: I am editing a multicam video for social media, my clips are in landscape, and I've set the project to be in portrait framing. I am noticing that the ends of my clips are cropped and I have no idea why. In the multicam window the whole shot is there, but in the timeline preview window they are cropped. Do you know why I am experiencing this and how I can fix it? Thank you!!

19:18 problem with that is if you have lots of clips.. say 50 or so.. thats really tedious work to do to get all those clips on 1 timeline.

Thank you! That sure helped me

Yooo you are 100.000 now congratss

The other commenters are right, this is an excellent video. Thanks

Is there a way to switch multiple clips angle at the same time? Like selecting multiple clips and assigning all of them to the same angle, I have a lot of cuts and it's very tedious to set them one by one. Shift+cmd doesn't work for that purpose.

Hi Jason. I been watching your videos and I've learned a lot. You're the best. Now I have a problem and need your help. I have a clip that shows steps and when I rendered it shows artifacts. The steps look weird. I have Resolve 18.6. Can you help me with this dilema. Thanks.

Thank you for the video tutorial! I'm new to video editing (hobby) and Da Vinci Resolve and just edited my first multicam project! I'm having a little trouble with clips that I would like to be sped up but when I adjust the speed of the clip it takes out the audio from the following clips. Is there a way to fix this?

Great Video, What if I want to see all the audio tracks below with multicam editing. Sometimes I need to blend two audio sources together.

In the future will it be possible to do multi cam in full screen? talking about it?

Great video thank you very much👍 I have a question: I do flightsim and love to record them. As example I record my approach (OBS Studio) from cockpit view. Later I am using Davinci Resolve. How I can add another windows as example you can see the cockpit view plus in a smaller windows the the wing view? Is it possible and how I have to do it? Thank you

Great video! Learned a ton. I did have one question, though: How do you do talking head vids with multicam clips? Meaning, I want to show video track 1 (of my talking head) AND video track 2 (of the screen recording) at the same time -- with, of course, the talking head in a small circle overlaid on video track 2.

Do you have a speed editor? If there is way to get a true multicam clip working with the speed editor that would be great.

Hello, can you tell me if I can see a full screen windows with all the angles in the same time I see a full screen program using 2 monitors? Thanks!

Multicam is broken on my computer lol. Nothing syncs and it lags like crazy. I just overlay all clips in the edit tab and sync them there then I make all the cuts there. Takes longer but at least it works.

I love multicamming in DaVinci and have been doing it for a while but I recently downloaded the 18.6 update and for some reason I don’t have the double window viewer button option anymore. I also have to double click the track to get to the source & multicam drop down menu but when I click from source to the multicam option it goes to transform instead and switches menus entirely. Do you think it’s a bug in my update? It’s frustrating the heck out of me…

Hi Jason, I've been in the industry for years and working on DaVinci. However, since DaVinci 18.5 the live Multicam viewer constantly lags when playing even just two angles. On previous projects I was running 5 angles with colour grade all simultaneously, and now for the past year DaVinci has lagged trying to run the muticam viewer and even after removing the Multicam viewer it then proceeds to lag until I restart the software. I'm on a completely maxed out M2 Max Macbook. I'm usually a tech whiz at all things computer and editing related, but this has stumped for for over a year and haven't been able to find anything to solve it, even downgrading back to 18.5. Most of the Multicam camera footage is 4K SLOG3 from FX6 and FX9's.

Is this a premium version feature because I am not able to see it in my free version of the software

A bit off topic, but what lenses do you use for the Canon 60D? I have a 70D and I thought it wasn't enough because there is a lot of noise with the Sigma 17-50 f2.8. It seems the problem is me and not the camera. Your footage is indistinguishable between different cameras.

Jay, curious at 9:50 - 10:30 where you select your main angles that the Audio C100 doesn't appear in the previewer after you change from MKE600. Looking at the timeline, the mains are displayed in the left corner of each track correctly as C100, but C100 Audio never appears in the previewer. Then you went to 4x4 default windows and I expected C100 Audio to appear as a 4th window but it did not- MKE600 continues to display. Maybe it is explained further on in the video but I needed to get this question posted while I still remembered the issue. 😕 Can you help, please?

I have multiple cameras with each camera recording multiple channels of audio (lav, boom etc). Currently in my multicam sequence, I only see one track that contains all audio channels with no ability to select or adjust a specific audio channel .How can I select specific audio channels within multicam?

Is there no way to "conform" the edits for export XML?

How to work if an angle has multiple audio tracks?

thanks for the video, question: i started editing my podcast as usual in the timeline, then i tried to multicam but i think due to all the cuts it doesnt seem possible. i then tried to compound all the clips and multi cam and still couldnt get it to work. would you say that I should multi cam at the very start to avoid this issue or is there a work around? thanks

Not working...

It seems that Resolve made this more complicated than it was 3 yrs ago.

What a complicated mess... I just spent three hours with your video, and several hours with other Resolve Multi-cam videos trying to get an editable multi-cam clip, and that this point, I wish I'd have fired-up my old windows 8 PC from 8 years ago and just used Sony Vegas or Avid. For 3 years I edited a weekly, 2-hour 4-cam, 6-channel audio TV program, Using Sony Vegas. I could edit and rip that two-hour program 4-cam program in a day, where with Premiere, after three days of fighting crashes, sync-issues and the horrible timeline the final render would typically fail. Final Cut was cumbersome, and clunky. A "professional" editor went to my client and said "VEGAS was the slowest and worst editor available, and that he could do the project in Premiere in a couple of hours. I gave him the files and after two days was still trying to edit by manually cutting and pasting camera clips as the multi-cam timeline would crash. After 5 days later he was trying to get a successful render. In a long, complex multi-cam edit you inevitably need to adjust and add clips, graphics audio, and having an open, flexible timeline is often a must. All the workflows I'm seeing online using Resolve seem to make that difficult or impossible? For grading Resolve seems the best but WTF with Multi-cam? Are well all missing something or is the interface not fit for purpose?

So this only work if your using an external mic and have a separate audio track? Brilliant.
