Edit group in multicam timeline

Still having the massive problem of having to select EDIT CAMERAS for every single edit in the timeline to turn on cameras in the group that were added after the first edit pass has been made. This has to be applicable to all the edits in the timeline, not just the one you have selected. It takes ages to go through a 90 minute concert cut turning on the late additition camera angles and really needs to be fixed please!!

Am I missing something, is there a way of affecting every edit in the timeline or is oversight still in v25 after all this time . . . ?

    Hi @Reg Wrench -  I'm going to move this to the ideas forum.

     

    When you cut a multicam clip with, say, 2 cameras into a sequence and make edits, each cut becomes a separate instance of the multicam clip. If you later want to add more cameras to the multicam, you’ll need to update each edited instance individually not just the original multicam.

     

    Has this ever worked how you describe it?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. No I have a group of 17 cameras which we started editing with. Then we had three more cameras delivered which we added to the group. When you look at the edited timeline in multi camera mode the newly added cameras are in the group but turned off. If you turn them on (in Multicam mode , spanner icon then select Edit Cameras) they only turn on for the edit that you have selected in the timeline and not for all the edits in the timeline. You have to go through each each, select it, select edit cameras, check the tickboxes for the new cameras then leave the Edit Cameras menu and do the same thing over and over for every edit you’ve made in the timeline. What would be better would be to have a selectable option to apply this camera group change to every instance of the group (ie master group and all uses of it in every shot change edit) or just to the selected edit / edits.

    If this still isn’t clear I’ll make a recording of the process for you.

    Often with big multi camera projects we can have up to 100 cameras and sometimes we have to start editing before some of them are delivered or processed. Any change to the master group should propagate through all uses of the group.

    Cheers,

    Reg
