Edit FASTER Using Multi Cam in DaVinci Resolve 18 | DaVinci Resolve Tutorial 

Happy Monday, I hope you learned something!

My left ear was very informed, thank you!

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.

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.

best multi tutorial, love the color grade too man

Legend thanks! Im going to use this method to edit my podcast going forward. Very well explained. Thanks again

@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!

great video, significantly more informative and effective than everything else I've found. Thanks

Always enjoy learning. Appreciate the video!

This was hugely helpful! Thanks heaps legend

very clear , master... i can breath now. All the best.

Appreciate the tips! Super helpful for me editing a interview!

This was so helpful! Thank you soooo much!

video was really helpful!! thanks, u even explained color grading tricks!! thankss!!

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.

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.

Great stuff, man - easy to follow and super-good info!

This was SOO helpful! Thank you so very much! 🙌🙌

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

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.

Great short tutorial, thanks!

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!

Thank you so much. Learned a lot!

This video is EXCELLENT. Good work, Sir!

This was so helpful! thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us.

Excellent video! Thanks for your help

Great and concise explanation!!! Thank you!!!

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! Brilliantly described and so quick and easy 🫶🏻

hey, thanks! great tutorial! concise explanation of process.in only 10 minutes!!

Excellent video. Thank you. Super-helpful!

This was nice. Thanks for making this video.,

Sheesh! You've dropped some awesomeness, Josh :O

Fabulous tutorial.

Thank you for your information! helped a ton! 👍

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

You're a lifesaver!

This sounds a lot easier than i thought it would be 😅 Thanks for the video!

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.

thanks so much - very helpful and MIND BLOWING FEATURES. this would have taken forever with premiere pro years ago

Thank YOU so much for this!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thanks alot earned a subscriber

Great video. Thanks

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. 🤘❤

Thanks, that helped a lot!

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

Thank you!

nice! thanks!

nice job, this one is very very useful

dude you explained that better than anyone

Great quick tutorial. I used to do this in FCP, and had issues getting this working in Resolve.

Thank you great tutorial

This was so helpful. Just saved me a few hours editing my podcast videos

TYSM!!!

BRO, this was a quick and AWESOME mini-tutorial for someone just getting started on DR, and coming from PP. Cheers mate!

This just most likely saved me 2 - 3 hours lol. Awesome!

Thank you.

Very Good thank you!

Thank you

Lovely

I have multiple clips rather than just 3, when i do it, it does not work, any tips?

BRO! I am editing 1h DJ mixes with different angles all the time! Bro, that will change my life. Thank you!

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!

awesome

thanks!!

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.

Ufff, yeah ... thanks ! -)

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?

thanks for 3:29 out of nowhere the Multicam window disappeared so I was able to enable it again!

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?

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 👍👍

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

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.

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?

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?

"I'm gonna go and hit number 3." REALLY NEAT! Thank you! Yes, I learned something that I hope to use down the road. However, you omitted the mechanics on how you did this. What keyboard command are you using to chop this up? Are you selecting with the mouse? By the way, I'm running Windows, so I understand keyboard commands will be different.

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!

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

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?

Greta Vid, TY. ? Could this be done with the coresponding audio tracks, if you had a differnt audio track for each angle?

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.

wish you would of spoke about using this method with using a external source as the audio .

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!!!!

I have a Master Audio Clip I want to Sync My A-roll & Multipul seperate B- Roll Clips too. No problem with that. The Problem is Seeing both A-Roll (One Continues Clip) when tha B-Roll in Synced on the Track Above.

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.

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?

Thanks for this but there is a very important thing you forgot to mention and that is to uncheck the "Link Audio "/ It drove me crazy as the audio would switch even after I specified it to use the proper audio angle

The amount of times I forget how to do this and then come back to this video.. Sadly, it's a lot.

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?

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?

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?

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?

when you said you 'hit number 3,2,1' were you pressing the number keys or did you set shortcut keys beforehand?

I don't have the multicam option in the dropdown menu.

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.

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?
