I've cut many multicam music performance pieces using Vegas, but this doc-style multicam project is new for me.
I have an A-camera track and a B-camera track in sync on the timeline with content from five hour-long interviews that need to be cut down to about ten minutes.
The two cameras used were not of the same type and were not started and stopped at the same time, so whereas the A-camera track might be made up of ten clips per interview, the B-camera track might be fifty clips per interview. A-camera has the close-ups and B-camera is the wide shot.
My first creative step will be do pull selects from the timeline that I can whittle down into the final ten minute movie.
I know I can group clips and tracks, but for that to be effective when slicing and maintaining sync between the two cameras I would need to permanently attach all the clips from each interview end to end, effectively creating a single clip per track for each interview. Then I could group the tracks and slice. Is that possible?
The idea here is to edit the movie two tracks per cut and then, after it's cut for content, I would get to choose between the wide shot or close-up.
Am I approaching this wrong? Any suggestions?
