Quick tip, its much easier to just open the source multi-cam clip in the timeline and color grade each clip from there. That way you only need to grade the source clips, not all of the cut up clips on the main timeline. Also, multi-cam audio is buggy in DR if the camera has more than 2 channels of audio like the C70. I typically create the mult-cam clip, select the audio camera source in the multi-cam clip so that the desired waveform will show on the timeline, then I go back to the source audio track that I want and put that audio track below the multi-cam track, after synching them together I delete the multi-cam clip's audio track and lock the audio track and video track in place. This gives me back full control over the audio and prevents them from getting out of synch during the edit.
what if I'm editing a multicam podcast with three separate audio sources? How do I get all three audio sources to be playing at the same time in multicam mode? That way I only need to do multicam edits to the camera angles but still have all three mics running throughout the whole video.
Came here to say exactly this!!! Way more time consuming to do the other way but this is a great tutorial. Premiere has this same feature and that’s where I started!
@@sandrolecirque That's another good example where DR's multicam audio solution isn't that helpful. The solution is simple though, just use the multicam clip for video, for audio place all of the audio tracks below the multicam clip, click Synch audio to synch them together, then perform a final sync to the master audio track from the multi-cam clip. To make things easier you will want a clap or something that all 3 mics can hear to synch that waveform spike between all three tracks so that they all synch up or you can use TC.
The last step is to lock all of the tracks in place on the timeline so that during the edit you don't lose the synch.
@@sandrolecirque idk if this is helpful being so late but my workaround for this is to create a timeline to sync up all of my audio and then create a compund clip out of just the audio. i create new subclips of all of the videos so everything has the same start time and then make a multicam out of each of the video subclips and the compound audio clip. The audio clip will still show up in the multi-cam video viewer as a black screen but it can be ignored while the compunded audio clip is selected as the full-time audio source!
My left ear was very informed, thank you!
This is one of the things that trips me up often when editing in Resolve. You have to go into the audio inspector when you have a mono track and set it up for both channels for it to be stereo. I've forgotten that step more than once.
It would be nice for Resolve to have a project setting on what to do when mono audio is the main timeline track.
After making a video that looks so good, I'm surprised he missed that lol...
I finally learned how to use Davinci Resolve after searching for about an hour! Thank you Josh. Keep them coming. You're a great teacher.
Important to note: You have to be on the Edit tab for this to work. This will not work on the Cut tab-you won't get the multicam option there.
Perfect comment, thanks. I kept trying to figure out why I wasn't seeing the option, switched to the Edit tab and boom.
@@pipp33 I may have yelled "this video lies" just prior to figuring it out. :)
@josh, thank you so much for this, I think you've explain this the best VS all the other videos I've watch so far
Thank you!
Hi Josh, just stumbled on your channel and just the watched the MultiCAM solution you uploaded. Indeed you've made my life 100x easier. Now am going to look like a Pro at editing :-) :-) in Resolve. Been going round the mountain to find the quickest way to edit multiCAMs. Cheers Bro, keep up the great work.
Legend thanks! Im going to use this method to edit my podcast going forward. Very well explained. Thanks again
Nicely illustrated, I particularly like the fact that I’m in the middle of a project and I needed to be taught this quickly so I could get on with it, so it was great not to have a load of other rubbish added for the sake of it, very powerful format.like a quick reference.
Thanks for this guide, but I have in my case one long clip from camera 1 and many short clips from camera 2 (20 clips). I can't have 21 multi-cams at once, I want have 2. Cam 1 as angle 1 och clips from cam 2 as angle 2, How can I solve that ? Thanks a lot!
I'm so mad i didn't know this earlier. My boss taught me this on Premiere a day ago and immediately applied the workflow to Davinci thanks to your video. Well done tutorial!
video was really helpful!! thanks, u even explained color grading tricks!! thankss!!
Always enjoy learning. Appreciate the video!
41 seconds in after "turning off each individual layer" on my 3 camera interview. Thank you Josh, looking forward to the rest of the video.
This was SOO helpful! Thank you so very much! 🙌🙌
Great stuff, man - easy to follow and super-good info!
Josh thank you! I'm using DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 for the first time and I'm already blazing through my multi-camera editing. Excellent job on the video. I'm definitely subscribing for more. 🤘❤
great video, significantly more informative and effective than everything else I've found. Thanks
best multi tutorial, love the color grade too man
I have been working on videos that have 2 camera angles and are long in length and I've been "struggling" (more like taking much more time) with editing both of them at the same time. Thanks a lot for the tutorial
thank you so much, this is extremly usefull, I just edit a tutorial of 2 hrs, and did not knew this existed. Really good tutorial
very clear , master... i can breath now. All the best.
thanks so much - very helpful and MIND BLOWING FEATURES. this would have taken forever with premiere pro years ago
This video is EXCELLENT. Good work, Sir!
This was so helpful! Thank you soooo much!
Excellent video! Thanks for your help
Very helpful, thank you! Quick tip for color, add the 3 clips to individual groups in the color tab at the beginning. After you're done cutting you can just color one clip under the "Group Pre-Clip" tab and it'll apply to every clip
Appreciate the tips! Super helpful for me editing a interview!
hey, thanks! great tutorial! concise explanation of process.in only 10 minutes!!
Thank you so much. Learned a lot!
Sheesh! You've dropped some awesomeness, Josh :O
Excellent video. Thank you. Super-helpful!
this changed my life. THANK YOU!!!
OMG you saved me so many hours of work!!! I was doing it the old way! Thanks!!!
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us.
Great short tutorial, thanks!
This was so helpful! thank you!
This sounds a lot easier than i thought it would be 😅 Thanks for the video!
Fantastic job, Josh. Very concise & informative.
If the audio source isnt from the camera (eg from Rodecaster or the likes), how do we work with that?
Great and concise explanation!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your information! helped a ton! 👍
Thank you! Brilliantly described and so quick and easy 🫶🏻
BRO, this was a quick and AWESOME mini-tutorial for someone just getting started on DR, and coming from PP. Cheers mate!
@@JPOC226 I enjoyed PP until it just started dragging my system down. Once you get the hang DR smokes. And PS: it outputs in 1/5 the time of PP
@@TheThrillerZone DR has been pretty good to me... Almost feel like i should spend the $300 bucks to unlock stuff.
also this video did NOT cover some importaint topics like others did.... unless there was a change in DR since this video came out.,
Thank you very much for the video. I would like to add that the shortcut for switching the clips (while in the Edit Tab AND in multicamera mode) is SHIFT+CAM NUMBER. Oddly the numbers of the numpad do not work with this shortcut, only the ones on the top of the keyboard.
top of the keyboard is standard, but the SHIFT is wild... I use to use Premier Pro and it was just automatically just 12345 ect... No need for Shift... thats effing annoyiong.
Thanks, this was my one moment of inclarity (un-clarity?) with this tutorial.
Great quick tutorial. I used to do this in FCP, and had issues getting this working in Resolve.
This was hugely helpful! Thanks heaps legend
Holy cow, this is exactly what I needed! As a noob I struggled all weekend trying to line up six cameras in the edit page. One question, will the sync audio work for a concert where there’s a bunch of crowd noise?
This was nice. Thanks for making this video.,
HI Josh, how do you handle multiple sources of "good audio" eg recording a wedding where i will have a good audio from the groom microphone and a separate audio track from the officiant, I need to be able to include both those audio tracks in the final multicam and not just pick one?
Thank YOU so much for this!
You're a lifesaver!
Great video. Thanks
nice job, this one is very very useful
Fabulous tutorial.
Great video!
Thanks, that helped a lot!
This was so helpful. Just saved me a few hours editing my podcast videos
Hi Great tutorial. I'm a total beginer and would like to see multicam clips used in conjunction with text-based editing using the transcribe feature 👍👍
It seems like a whole other thing when you've got 2 camera interview and you chop that up, your audio for that is external/separate audio that needs to be synced, and then 2 camera performance footage (which is kinda acting like cutaway, b roll footage), that audio is also external/separate and needs to be synced, so the cuts in the interview VO track are dictating when you need to hide a jump cut, because of this and also external audio, compound clips etc I'm only finding it possible to do it the long way and disable/enable clips one by one to make sure I'm hiding the cuts properly on my interview track...I wish I could get a faster multi-cam workflow going that worked with external audio, compound clips etc
Hey man loved this video helped a lot! I'm running into an issue where when I edit landscape multicam footage then try to edit it vertically it crops out the image and I have to open the timeline of the multicam clip and adjust it there in order to change the clips orientation.
I was wondering if you've run into this before and knew any ways to solve it.
Thanks again for this video it's a banger!
This just most likely saved me 2 - 3 hours lol. Awesome!
Thanks alot earned a subscriber
For anyone watching this who can't get number key shortcuts working, I just figured out the problem: In keyboard customizations prefs, locate Multicam Cuts and click the + sign beside where it says "1", then hit the number 1 key on your keypad. You'll see that it adds "Number 1". That's because the shortcuts bizarrely aren't mapped to the numerical keypad. Same for 2, 3, etc.
What about when you film with gorpros and the video gets "chaptered" into multiple video files. Any recommendations on how to prepare the video for handling with multicam? Seems that having multiple video clips for the same camera will throw things off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
nice! thanks!
I have multiple clips rather than just 3, when i do it, it does not work, any tips?
TYSM!!!
Great tutorial. One problem, might be user error, is that the audio still switches on mine for some reason. I've tried disabling the other audio in the MC timeline and made sure the chosen audio was check but it still switches. Even to the disabled audio.
BRO! I am editing 1h DJ mixes with different angles all the time! Bro, that will change my life. Thank you!
Greta Vid, TY. ? Could this be done with the coresponding audio tracks, if you had a differnt audio track for each angle?
Thank you!
Hi there! Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question that is slightly adjacent to this. Context: I have a lot of gopro footage and as you may or may not know, gopros automatically chapter their recordings. So if I do a long recording from one gopro, it could have multiple clips, plus if I stop and start recording (battery change!), that creates more clips. Question: how would I synchronize the clips from that one camera so that they were spaced out correctly?
In premiere I know how to do it, but it's just different enough in Resolve that I'm feeling stuck.
Thanks again!

This is great. What if your audio comes from a different source or what if you have edits in your original. For example, if it's an interview and banter needs to be cut out, how do you use multicam with that scenario?
If I will use the audio from my Rodecaster 2, Do I need to sync before or after editing using the multicam? Thanks and great job!!!!
Great tutorial! very clear and to the point! thanks! One question - Instead of manually selecting the footage from each camera to color grade (which could be very difficult if you have a long edit with many cuts), why don't you use remote grades for your clips? Does that feature not work when using the multicam feature?
I just like making sure each clip doesn't change, but you are correct. you can just remote grade if you would like!
Thanks for your video! I’m new at Davinci. When you were choosing which camera angle you wanted in the multicam timeline, how were you choosing the angle? I couldn’t tell how you were choosing angle 1, 2 or 3 along the timeline.
Thank you great tutorial
Thanks for the video. I'm coming from DR 15 and in addition to opening timeline you showed I used to be able to open the timeline that showed all audio and video tracks stacked. This would allow me to tweak things if needed or to add additional clips and tracks later in process if needed. I would get this timeline by dragging the multicam clip from the bin and releasing it over the part of the timeline where is written Video 1, Audio 1 and there are few commands like mute. In DR 18 that doesn't work for me. Do you know how to open this in DR 18?
dude you explained that better than anyone
Ok I learned something new. Switching multicam view after the fact. I had that happen and I undid all my cuts and started over lol
Thanks Josh. I have a question. Let's say I record a remote video podcast; the software creates separate files: my shot, my separate audio, the guest shot and their separate audio. I create a new file and that is a split-screen and its own audio. Can I use this same process to edit and make a timeline where the whole time is the split-screen and every now and then it switches to the individual shots?
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?
Hey, Josh, thanks for taking the time to teach us! I have 1 question (maybe 2) What happens when you have a 3 1/2 hours event with 3 dslr cameras (as you know they record 12 minutes clips) and the audio sync is no good? I manage to sync in Premiere Pro so I have a regular timeline with all the clips sync. Now, how do I convert in multicam? Thanks in advance! (we´re talking in Resolve)
I'd say find a definitive action or motion that you can match up as in an IN or OUT point in your media pool before trying to transcribe
if you have Piremiere Pro you can just but the clips end to end. buit PP also supports multicam
Great tutorial and it's working for me BUT, how do I remove the timecode audio I have on my left channels that are generated from my timecode devices on all 3 cameras?
Very Good thank you!
Thank you.
I don't have the multicam option in the dropdown menu.
Wow, nice job... wondering if this can also be done if I have 8 clips but from 2 cameras, I had some issues while recording and had to stop and record several times, and adding to the pain, one camera did not record audio but thank god it did work for video and the audio was recorded separately. How can I make use of MultiCam if I'm in this scenario?
My pc is a intel i7 with 32 gb ram 1 tb hdd. In multicam the left window with 3 cameras does not plays smooth. What pc do you need for good multicam editing?
thanks for 3:29 out of nowhere the Multicam window disappeared so I was able to enable it again!
What do you do if DaVinci can't sync one of your cam angles? Is there a way to manually add a clip to a multi-cam clip?
Thank you
Thanks for the clear explanation Josh. QUESTION: after creating the multicam clip, is there a way to adjust each of the angles indivIdually (framing, color, exposure, etc.), so that after cutting, I don't have to copy the attributes from the first cut to all the other subsequent cuts for that angle? Does that make sense?
@brettblandford3411 yes that's easier, but it would still require duplicating the adjustment clip for every instance of the angle
I have over 100 clips from a live band concert any tips how to attack synching all those clips to a master wav file?
Great info but I need the audio as well for the mic'd up guest in the interview.... Host mic vs Guest mic.... podcast stuff... How do I make sure the cut includes the audio from the clip?
Hi, a very informative video on multicam, but I have a question. First though, all the multicam tutorials I have watch all deal with every video being the same shot but from different angles, but what if each video is only partially the same.
I have 3 videos in scanned VHS of my daughter's 1st birthday from 1992. The 3 videos of the party were taken by 3 different people, myself included, and each video has different footage of the party, there is very little that Resolve can use to match up the footage. How do I use multicam in such a situation.
(Addendum: - I have used multicam to edit stage performances I have been in, recorded by at least 6 cameras (which included 3 old mobile phones), it works very well.
Deffo need to practice with this. We tried it once and it didn't work out well with our setup.
Filmora added artlist as a free tool in the editing software itself so you don't have to buy that subscription separately. Does DaVinci have any free music included? Does it also have a free was to cut out background (like green screen)? I'm thinking of switching to DaVinci because of this multicam feature but would miss those features in Filmora
Lovely
Happy Monday, I hope you learned something!
good to say : it's also working fine with the Speed Editor ;-)
yes but what I am still unsure as it will be my first edit... is I have several clips of an interview that lasted one hour with 2 cameras... Do you process manually each clips as multicam or you select them all first and process multicam ? I think we have to do it each clip at a time but unsure :) I will try but if you can help here, it will save time :)
Best video ever, thanks
