As I said: cutting my MC music videos has always been a true feast for my senses. I always was one of the camera crew for those events and some of them I also DP'ed.Īt that time (in the years 2008-2015) I didn't use Resolve Sony's Vegas Pro was my NLE and I must tell you it was a real pleasure for me as a true music lover to set up a multi-camera project in Vegas, display all cameras in the MC view on a large monitor (had to be a 50" FHD plasma so that - even with 6-10 individual camera windows on it - those windows were still big enough for me to see details), hit 'Play' and let myself get submerged in that audio-video experience! When I had a "good day" (right mood, nobody/nothing disrupting my work), I didn't even have to watch my waveforms with the large enough picture of each camera displayed simultaneously and synchronized perfectly ( a subject for another discussion ) with the loud enough sound of those beautiful master-pieces - I did my cuts on-the-fly, picking what I considered the best camera view to be shown at s specific moment of time within each piece duration. So I probably over-think itįor many years I had edited classical music concerts (you can find the DVDs I authored here: ) of course I also produced BDs with all those events - but since it's so much easier to sell DVD than BD, only the former have always been printed while BDs with the original, FHD versions of the coverage I only burned in very limited quantities). I might cut on One, but I might cut on three or cut on two-and. Unfortunately, i studied music a lot and play guitar and I am pretty pedantic when editing to music. The last video I finished was 2:25 long and had about 40 cuts, so getting the cuts lined up with the beat(s) was probably the most time-intensive part of the whole project. I guess I was hoping there was a way to play the whole timeline (all clips and audio as well) at a slower speed (say, at 75% or 50%) so that when I am putting in markers then I am able to be a little bit more accurate.Īlso, I guess I need to figure out a way to make the soundtrack wave form bigger.Īgain, thanks for ALL the advice already given. Thanks to everyone for affirming that it is just a case of "look and listen."


Since you ALL had great tips, it probably doesn't make sense to quote everyone and reply "individually" so I hope it is ok if just kind of group my reactions together in one post.
