Once you create a merged clip, you are unable to modify it. So the next item on the checklist is modifying the synced clips after you’ve created them. Challenge 2: Modifying Synced Clips After Creating Them Multicams win this category, and that’s because not only can you use multicams to sync one source of footage and audio, it’s also possible to actually adjust your multicam AFTER you’ve created it.

Multicam camera switching tools are great for things like interviews This is especially important if you want to use the powerful multicam camera switching tools in Premiere to pick the camera angle you want to view, and even cut between them during live playback. Multicams can combine as many video and audio sources as you want. This means if you were filming with one camera and multiple audio sources, such as a boom microphone, a lavalier, and the on-camera audio, you can combine all of that audio together with one source of video.īut if you were filming with two or more cameras, such as working on a scene with many characters at once, or conducting an interview or filming a music performance, you would not be able to merge all of those video clips together. With merged clips, you can combine one video source, and as many audio sources as you want. merged clips is the amount of footage and audio you can combine. The first important thing to know about multicams vs. Challenge 1: Number of Clips you Can Combine So, let’s break down the differences between these two options and figure out how they stack up against each other. Traditionally, you might think “merge clips” sounds like the way to accomplish that but there’s another, better, way to do it and that’s to create a multicam. Well, when you have footage from one source, the camera for instance, and audio from another source, perhaps it’s the audio recording device your sound recordist was using, you need a way to sync them up so that they stay connected while you are editing.

First, you may have heard the term “multicam” but exactly is it?
