Multicam
by Belinda Edwards on Jun 5, 2008 at 7:14:17 am

I was wondering something. I have a project going on where I am using multicam in Excalibur. I have 4 cameras presently in the project. I already did the process of putting in a marker and aligning up as best as possible, and running the sync mode in Excalibur. I have since manually shifted all tracks where they are pretty much sync'd. I now have been given camera #5, and want to use some of the footage from it also. Since I have only done the sync process in Excalibur, (even thought it has put several master tracks in the project, can I just add a video track and insert footage from camera #5 into the timeline and manually sync it with the other 4 tracks, and still be able to do the camera selection process, and finally the finishing process of Excalibur? Or am I going to have to start from start with all 5 camera?
Thanks
Steve

Here's what I would do:

1. Delete the "Extra" tracks (Tally, Tally2, and Overlay).
2. If you're using 6.0.3 - reset the Track Motion keyframe at the beginning of each camera track. For older versions, select all camera events and run the "Reset Pan/Crop" tool.
3. Add the 5th camera and manually sync it.
4. Run the Sync tool with NO markers (now using 3x3 instead of 2x2)

What do you mean by "select all camera events and run the Reset Pan/Crop tool"? I understand selecting all the tracks, but how do you restet Pan/Crop?

On the Repair/Maintenance tab in Excalibur you'll find the "Reset Pan/Crop" tool.
