Multi Camera mode in Avid Media Composer

Here's a very basic tutorial on how to set up a multi-camera edit using Avid Media Composer. I purposely made this tutorial very short to get right to the point.

I want to Add the same effect on all my clip segments, how do i do it without, dragging the effec to each one?

[GDVTutorials]

There are several ways to do this...

#1: Highlight all the clips using one of the segment arrows. Then double click on an effect within your effect palette. Media Composer will apply that effect to all the clip segments.

or....

#2: Create an empty track, and drop a single effect onto the new layer. This will affect all the layers below it.

What version of Media Composer are you using? Some older versions of Media Composer only work with special MultiCam Media.

My Avid Media Composer 5 doesn't show the "Multi-clip icon" i can't see it anywhere.. my avid express pro has it, but my mC5 don't.. i have a multicam perfectly working but i can's see that bloody icon.. :( can i activate it somewhere?

I need to set so the audio will always follow the video but it only inserts the audio from one of the clips. :(

Hi, are you taking about the multiclip icon at the top of the Composer window? If so,

Double on the 'Composer Settings' within your Project Window, and look for the Window Settings Tab. Turn on 'Second Row of Info'. That should do the trick.

that is an impressive feature.

Hi, I'm cutting music videos. If the audio I want to use is a .wav file (and not associated with the Video footage) can I sync the various angles with this separate audio file? Thanks.
