By far the best tutorial on Multicam editing in Davinci Resolve. Great that you explained how to change camera angles without creating new video layers [like many other videos are doing]
I downloaded resolve to my Mac last night used this video to learn how to do a multi cam edit shot with an iPhone and iPad and laptop. This video single handedly taught me how to do it, and the app is free. Pretty amazing. Thanks for this video. Super helpful!
I used to use FCPX exclusively, but the need to do simple text graphics, overlay tracking, noise reduction and other things that were so simple in DR made me start seriously considering a permanent swap. After working on several projects that required not having to slave the secondary clips to the primary timeline track (ie the FCPX way), I switched full time. I’ve been doing that for nearly two years and haven’t really looked back. If I have a really quick project that just needs simple cuts, I do find myself using FCPX at times, but that’s really it. There’s just too much power in DR that is missing elsewhere. And it’s a lot better investment than Premier!
I'm now working with DaVinci Resolve almost exclusively especially since I upgraded to the studio version and received the speed editor as part of the deal. I never got anything free from AVID, Final Cuts Pro or Adobe Premeire. I hope this means that you may be doing more Resolve tutorials in the future. Thanks for this one!
Great tutorial! I've been an FCPX user for 10+ years, but keep finding more and more reasons to swtich to DR, so planning on moving to DR sometime this Fall. Please make more DR tutorials, you guys always make learning fun and quick! Awesome job as always!
there is no perfect software but the one that fits you. but if you would get used to use resolve in everything, soon you will undersrand the magic! hope you will benefit from it just like we do!
Great tutorial! I just made one for FCP in the form of an eBook, and much is the same. I use FCP since version 6, but the Multicam Clip edit in FCP (since 10.0.3 available) was better then in 6. When I got my M1 MacMini I downloaded DVR again, since my 9 years old iMac was to slow for DVR. But I deleted DVR again, I like FCP better. Only the Fusion module is nice, but I rather spend more time in learning Motion 5, about which you also have very useful tutorials, together with Mark Spencer. I love what you two do!
I use Resolve Studio for every part of production. Almost everything I know about using Resolve, I learned from Ripple training videos. I 'm still a beginner, but I could do anything without Ripple. Thanks Steve & Jill!
this wasn't about what I was looking for but it sure is something I was wondering if it was possible since many years ago. thank you!!!! this was an excellent surprise for me and a very concise tutorial.
I've followed you guys since the days of when you were publishing episodes to itunes and purchased your FCPX course and handful of your Motion transitions. I'm in the process of transitioning my entire workflow to Resolve and bought your course to make the transition less painful, ha. I own a couple of BM's Pocket Cinema cameras and Video assists, and Black Magic consistently goes above and beyond to improve their product by listening to what their customers need, and often offer that improvement as a free upgrade. i.e. turning on the gyro stabilization option would have been an upsell for any other brand. Thank you guys for all of the training that you've shared over the years!
thank you so much for this. You covered so many aspects of this that other tutorials haven't and it's helped to piece it all together for me. I'm a musician tyring to make short BTS amateur videos and I've moved from iMovie to the free version of DR to work with the multicam feature. I'm so grateful for the chance to learn about video editing on free software. I'm used to music software interfaces so it's all fairly familiar. Thank you again!
This was insanely straight forward and helps a ton. The cut page multi cam was hard to make adjustments to. I will absolutely use this method next time I’m editing a band…. Like right now
This is an excellent tutorial! I switched to Davinci when CS6 became absolete and after getting BMPC it is my exclusive editor for that footage. I have not purchased the (expensive) panels (yet), but there is way to make your tablet in to one. Maybe not the best, but it does work :)
I own the Studio version but only use it for grading. Even then, only grading that goes beyond what I can do with Final Cut already at my fingertips. I find that the MultiCam Editing in Final Cut is faster with fewer keystrokes. But, here's a scenario I found myself in while editing for a company; multiple audio tracks (one for each speaker) that overlap. People often talk before another speaker is finished. I want to isolate each speaker but there a places where I have speakers overlap for a few seconds. I can see that you can do this in Resolve, but using more keystrokes than what you would need to do in Final Cut.
FCP was my daily driver for just editing, but I've been increasingly been using Resolve more and more as I've been taking on more hybrid edit/color work. The speed of not having to round trip, as well as Resolve's database system has given a robustness necessary for the types of projects I've been taking on. I still use FCP, but I'm increasingly using Resolve more.
I would also like to add, that having fairlight right next to the editing tools changes a lot of things for me, as for certain projects where there is no dedicated audio post artist, I can go in and do a lot of the audio sweetening to a level I just don't have with a stand alone tool like FCP or MC. In addition, while all the toolsets in Resolve are quite deep, I feel the edit tab in particular is actually quite easy and approachable as the first tool to learn in Resolve. I'll admit, there are things I like in the cut page, but for pure speed, FCP kind of has everyone beat.
Also at the end of the day, a tool's a tool. Some projects will be in Resolve, others maybe are better served in FCP and then Resolve. Pick the best toolset for the job.
Thank you this is very important information, can I ask how you can make story size after you adjust multiple Cam? I can't make smart reframe when I resize the footage
I've been using Resolve for about a year, switching from VSDC. I've avoided Multicam so far because I'm always under the wire for editing. Well, and I usually edit gaming footage which only has the one angle.
Trying to decide between DaVinci and FCP for multicam editing of mostly GoPro videos. Any advantages of one over the other for this use? The Ripple training looks great!
What a great session. I've only resonantly move over to Davinci Resolve in the last few weeks from FCP and have found it so good to work with. I've used your Core Training course which has been so helpful getting me started and moving forward. Now with this multicam yet another step forward. Good one! One question how do I add backgrounds in multicam (I do a lot)? And more sessions please.
@@rippleguys I use some library footage or footage we have produced ourselves of office locations or external footage, some stills of the same. Graphic backgrounds produced in Photoshop (in png format) and moving background footage just as you used in your studio based youtube videos (ie MacBreak Studio Ep 372)
Another brilliant item by the Ripple team - the only problem I find with DaVinci is that the whole editing screen (real estate) is not properly visible on Mac Book Pro 13" (Mid 2012) - otherwise Davinci would be a truly outstanding editing system.
Hello, thanks for the great tutorial! Is the a way to place the cuts in the multicam clip and in the end convert the multicam to individual tracks, where all the edits persist? I just want to use the multicam feature for the rough cut.
Před 2 lety
TY for this, this is what I needed, I am switching to multicam interviews from Zoom, and this is what I needed. Thanks so much. One small question. What if I have 4K input that I want to use as 2 cams? one 4K scaled to HD wide and one HD (zoomed on the guest) is there an easy way to use the same source as 2 different clips?
What is the keyboard shortcut for choosing angles? When you cut music videos, do you do a few different passes (saved as different timelines?) and see which approach is working best?
Thanks for the excellent video. you really address the important points. But I still have a question. I use multicam edits exclusively for music videos. So far I have only edited music videos on Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro. In practice I really have a lot of takes and therefore a lot of camera angles. for example 40. in final cut pro and also in premiere pro I can turn it into a multicam file without any problems. I can then compare the best camera angles and cut accordingly. everything plays in sync with the music. no problem with proxies. Davinchi resolve seemed to have a limit of 25 camera angles per multicam file. Is there a workaround to cut larger projects? Unfortunately, I didn't find any good example videos on CZcams with large projects. I would be very happy about help.
I've been using FCP for years, but I am finding it fiddly, and I shy away from overlaying infographics, effects and animations on my videos because it (most likely) means opening a separate clip in Motion. Another fiddly step. Therefore I've been eyeballing DaVinci Resolve lately, and I've bought a few of your tutorials on it, but there's one tutorial I'd love to watch and that's a "From FCP to DaVinci" tutorial that explains all the major differences, such as file management (FCP library, event, etc vs bins, etc, in DaVinci.) Then there's things like the range selection in FCP (for speed changes and audio changes, which AFAIK, require manual adding of keyframes in DaVinci, etc.) Another thing is that I have all my titles, etc set up in Motion for FCP, how would I start with that in DaVinci (I know the theory from an individual title's point of view, but not "all of it") I'm sure there's more. This would be fantastic for me, because that's one of the final hurdles in my mind.
I am interested in making Resolve my primary NLE (I use Premiere now but am tired of how buggy it is). I have a couple small hangups with Multicam in Resolve that maybe you can help with. First, if I set the Source Viewer to multicam and do some editing it's all good, but if I swap over to another timeline to adjust a clip or anything like that, when I switch back to the main edit timeline the Source Viewer resets to Source and I have to set it back to Multicam. Small annoyance. My second issue is simply that there's a little hiccup every time I switch angles during playback, it adds the cut at the right spot but I always drop a frame or two and there's an audio stutter. The edit is right, just is an annoying little bump. I have a solid PC and it's smooth as butter in Premiere so I feel like I should be good in Resolve but I can't solve it. Thanks to anyone for help if they happen to see this. Great vid.
Thank you for the helpful information in this video. Is there a way to assign a clip a particular angle so you can use the keyboard shortcuts to switch angles? For example my iPhone clip always defaults to Angle 1 so if I click on the number 1 on my keyboard it selects the iPhone angle. But if I want my GH5 to be my Angle 1 so I can use the keyboard short cut 1 to select my GH5 I cannot figure out how to specifically switch the angle associated with the specific clip. Thanks for any help with this.
You need to open the multicam clip in a timeline then reorder the tracks. If you don't know how to do this, it is explained in page 762 of the Resolve 18 manual
I'm working with the speed editor and it seems like holding the option key down on the main keyboard while switching angles on the speed editor keeps my master audio track intact. If I don't hold the option key down while switching I'll end up with the camera audio. Do you know another trick to this with the speed editor so I don't need to hold the option key down for the entire video? Thanks for the great tutorial!
Good video! Thank you. I still want to edit in FCP (though for multicam Resolve seems almost identical. Could you round-trip braw clips set up in Resolve as a multi-cam, transcoded but unedited, to FCP to open as a multicam? Then could you roundtrip back to Resolve for color-grading and relink to braw clips?
That seems like a lot of unnecessary work. Transcode your braw clips in resolve, then import into FCP. Cut Multicam in FCP, then XML the multicam project to resolve for grading. I'm not a fan of round-tripping.
Your instructions are super clear, and I'm trying to follow them to the letter ... and at 1:44 I get stuck. I created a multicam clip, but when I right click, there is not an option to open in timeline ... could anyone tell me what I'm missing??
Very useful video, but I have a question why I lose FPS when I mount with maybe a 3x3 multicam? From the parameters the CPU works at 100% and the GPU at 1%. How can I solve? (it seems strange to me that the GPU in these situations does not work for me) Ryzen 5 3600x + RX 6800 XT
Loved this tutorial. Quick question. Since we are not editing the audio track here, when i export are the other sources still present in the file(given the right export settings) or is it just one?
@@rippleguys WOW super fast reply. Thank you so much. Any tips on getting the other tracks out? I'm trying to send the files to my audio person once the cuts have been made.
What are the advantage of editing a multi cam music video in Resolve as opposed to Final Cut Pro? (Unless I’m using a Black Magic camera shot in Raw). Are there any better options to colour grade within the multicam clip because FCP is awful for this aspect? Thanks.
I use Resolve, but only for color. It feels a bit overdesigned, like a bunch of different cooks threw something at the wall and the resulting mess is Resolve. Lots of great ingredients, not put together very well.
I don't agree. It's like anything: once you're used to the tools, you find out how it all slots together. I find moving from Edit to Fusion, for example, much easier than what we had to do in Final Cut Pro (7)/Motion or Premiere/AE. I worked in FCP from V.3 through 7, and finally switched with the FCPX debacle. After a while with Adobe Suite (and testing Lightworks), I discovered Resolve and I've never looked back. Having the world's best (arguably) color-grading tool built in is such a bonus.
for the last 20 years i have been working using final cut pro and premiere. once i moved to resolve for Editing, I never look back. i am still using premiere for some project and really didnt like it. I didnt like FCPX to this date because the way how they arrange clips and XMLs.... this switch is the best move i did over the last decade. perhaps that means something... yeah they have all the tools, maybe not put together well at first sight, but see, they have been improving A LOT over the last few years. they really listen. look at the other 2 softwares....it's just not the same story. Maybe really try to start editing with it, for 1-2 weeks, then you will know how thoughtful it is.... it will make sense and you will be amazed how power it is.. hope you will feel it!
Exactly! Multicam on Premiere is like 1000000% easier. The tutorial is great, by the fanbase the software is also amazing, but its interface is like you are programming when should be a simple copy and past action.
Hello maybe somebody can help me with this. When I add my multi cam clip to the timeline, I can't get resolve to display the source and destination panels at the top in the edit page. It shows the 2 souce angles but not the destination. I am on 17.3.2 build 8 on a Mac mini. Thanks.
Great Video...I notice in your video, and in my own 2 Camera BRAW cut that the "Program" or monitor viewer of what's live lags behind the actual cut when pressed. It's about 12milliseconds. I've tried quarter resolution and have a super powerful system/gpu. Coming from FCP where this isn't an issue and trying to now use Resolve Studio, but this seems prohibitive...especially when trying to cut to music/fast cuts etc. Has anybody found a fix for this??
Is there a way to lower the quality of video in the source viewer? 4 cams of 4k video is too much data to simultaneously run over USB 3.0, so playback stutters when the source panel is set to multicam
So in multicam it will cut through everything ? I read in another video the person was saying it wouldn't cut all the videos like finalcut does in multicam
Does anyone know how to re-order the videos? I have 3 videos, and want to see A cam, then B Cam, then C -- but that's not the order Davinci has made them in the multicam.
@@rippleguys I didn't -- but figured it out. Thanks! Now I'm wondering how to sync and edit with 2 cameras, but with 8-9 audio tracks...Any ideas? I can't figure out how to "unpack" the audio tracks after syncing so that they're each on a separte track.
They are full resolution ProRes HD clips. If you are using a MPEG codec (H.264 or H.265) they will most likely drop frames on slower computers. If you are using ProRes files they should not drop frames -
By far the best tutorial on Multicam editing in Davinci Resolve. Great that you explained how to change camera angles without creating new video layers [like many other videos are doing]
Ya if I'm going to add layers, there's almost no point in using Multicam

Very useful video, but I have a question why I lose FPS when I mount with maybe a 3x3 multicam? From the parameters the CPU works at 100% and the GPU at 1%. How can I solve? (it seems strange to me that the GPU in these situations does not work for me) Ryzen 5 3600x + RX 6800 XT
Loved this tutorial. Quick question. Since we are not editing the audio track here, when i export are the other sources still present in the file(given the right export settings) or is it just one?
Just the audio that was chosen as the angle.
@@rippleguys WOW super fast reply. Thank you so much. Any tips on getting the other tracks out? I'm trying to send the files to my audio person once the cuts have been made.
✌💯💖
Is it possible to assign keys for each camera angle?
What are the advantage of editing a multi cam music video in Resolve as opposed to Final Cut Pro? (Unless I’m using a Black Magic camera shot in Raw). Are there any better options to colour grade within the multicam clip because FCP is awful for this aspect? Thanks.
All you need to do is click the Color Page icon, and all your angles magically appear as tracks in the Color Page for grading
I use Resolve, but only for color. It feels a bit overdesigned, like a bunch of different cooks threw something at the wall and the resulting mess is Resolve. Lots of great ingredients, not put together very well.
I don't agree. It's like anything: once you're used to the tools, you find out how it all slots together. I find moving from Edit to Fusion, for example, much easier than what we had to do in Final Cut Pro (7)/Motion or Premiere/AE. I worked in FCP from V.3 through 7, and finally switched with the FCPX debacle. After a while with Adobe Suite (and testing Lightworks), I discovered Resolve and I've never looked back. Having the world's best (arguably) color-grading tool built in is such a bonus.
for the last 20 years i have been working using final cut pro and premiere. once i moved to resolve for Editing, I never look back. i am still using premiere for some project and really didnt like it. I didnt like FCPX to this date because the way how they arrange clips and XMLs.... this switch is the best move i did over the last decade. perhaps that means something... yeah they have all the tools, maybe not put together well at first sight, but see, they have been improving A LOT over the last few years. they really listen. look at the other 2 softwares....it's just not the same story. Maybe really try to start editing with it, for 1-2 weeks, then you will know how thoughtful it is.... it will make sense and you will be amazed how power it is.. hope you will feel it!
Exactly! Multicam on Premiere is like 1000000% easier. The tutorial is great, by the fanbase the software is also amazing, but its interface is like you are programming when should be a simple copy and past action.
What do you use Joe? I own your blu rays btw, cool seeing you in the wild
Proper
Hello maybe somebody can help me with this. When I add my multi cam clip to the timeline, I can't get resolve to display the source and destination panels at the top in the edit page. It shows the 2 souce angles but not the destination. I am on 17.3.2 build 8 on a Mac mini. Thanks.
Great Video...I notice in your video, and in my own 2 Camera BRAW cut that the "Program" or monitor viewer of what's live lags behind the actual cut when pressed. It's about 12milliseconds. I've tried quarter resolution and have a super powerful system/gpu. Coming from FCP where this isn't an issue and trying to now use Resolve Studio, but this seems prohibitive...especially when trying to cut to music/fast cuts etc. Has anybody found a fix for this??
Yup, it sucks and I've let them know countless times that it needs to be fixed. There is no work around.
@@rippleguys Thanks for the insight!!!
Is there a way to lower the quality of video in the source viewer? 4 cams of 4k video is too much data to simultaneously run over USB 3.0, so playback stutters when the source panel is set to multicam
You need to generate proxies, then choose the proxy resolution (full half or quarter) that best works with your drive.
So in multicam it will cut through everything ? I read in another video the person was saying it wouldn't cut all the videos like finalcut does in multicam
Accept for a few workflow differences- it works exactly like Final Cut
Does anyone know how to re-order the videos? I have 3 videos, and want to see A cam, then B Cam, then C -- but that's not the order Davinci has made them in the multicam.
Did you assign the clips the proper metadata (A.B C) before creating the MC clip?
@@rippleguys I didn't -- but figured it out. Thanks! Now I'm wondering how to sync and edit with 2 cameras, but with 8-9 audio tracks...Any ideas? I can't figure out how to "unpack" the audio tracks after syncing so that they're each on a separte track.
Are these proxy files? My clips don’t play this smoothly
They are full resolution ProRes HD clips. If you are using a MPEG codec (H.264 or H.265) they will most likely drop frames on slower computers. If you are using ProRes files they should not drop frames -
