Izzy Video 152 – How to Edit Footage from Multiple Cameras
If you’re shooting video of a live event, it’s best to have several cameras capturing at the same time. Generally, the more angles you have on the action, the better.
This installment of Izzy Video is how to edit the footage from all of those cameras. The application I use in the tutorial is Final Cut Pro, but you can likely do similar things in other editing applications.
If you want to know how to switch between different camera angles inside Final Cut Pro, you’ll love this video.
Please note: The project files will only work in Final Cut Pro 7.
This one is for members only, but you can watch the Quicktime trailer here.

I too feel like I scored the jackpot with these videos. Izzy, you are making an awesome contribution to the world utilizing your natural teaching ability coupled with your technical knowledge.
Q: I’ve actually seen enough tutorials like this current one laying out the basics of multicam editing. What I’m still trying to figure out is how to edit the clips individually after they’ve been ‘chopped up.’ Like, say I want to change the color of the entire length of one camera angle but it’s already cut up in pieces.
btw, do you ever get requests about how to develop a video business?

Hi Greg,
Great idea for a future edition of Izzy Video. I’ll note that one for sure.
Yes, sometimes I get requests for people asking me to do material on building a video business. It’s a great idea. Personally I haven’t done a lot of client work. My business has been mostly online video production, creating original content. You might want to check out what I’m doing at http://biz.izzyvideo.com.
Anyway, I hope that helps. And of course, thanks for the kind words.
