Record multi‑camera edits

You record a multi‑camera edit in the multi‑camera target sequence you have already assembled. (See Add clips for multi‑camera editing.)

  1. Select the multi‑camera target sequence in the Timeline panel, and then choose Multi‑Camera Monitor from the Window menu.
  2. In the Multi‑Camera Monitor, click the Record On/Off Toggle button .
    Note: You can also switch into record mode during playback by clicking a camera preview in the Multi‑Camera Monitor.
  3. To record audio from the selected camera to the audio track, select Audio Follows Video in the Multi-Camera Monitor panel menu. Deselect this option to record audio from the audio track selected in the source sequence.
    Note: In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in the source sequence, select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option.
  4. Click the playback button in the Multi‑Camera Monitor to start playing the video from all cameras.

    The footage from the active camera is recorded in the multi‑camera target sequence. A red border indicates the active camera, and the large preview shows the content you are recording.

  5. To switch to another camera and record its content, click its small preview in the Multi‑Camera Monitor.
    You can switch cameras using a keyboard shortcut. The 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys correspond to each camera.
  6. When you are done recording, click the Stop button or the Record button to get out of recording mode. You can then use the playback controls to preview your sequence without recording over it.

    The target sequence is updated to show the edit points where each camera switch occurs. Camera 1 is the default track in the target sequence. No recording occurs, so no edit points are created until you switch cameras. Each clip in the target sequence is labeled with the camera number (MC1, MC2).
