Referencing a Line Cut
You may sometimes be provided with what’s called a “line cut” from a production.
This is a pre-edited version of the program, cut live with the switcher and recorded
during the performance or event, that’s meant to be used as a reference for what
you’re doing. If you want to reference a line cut that’s been given to you as a movie file,
you can add it as an Offline Reference Movie, and compare it to the Timeline using the
Offline Reference Movie mode of the Source Viewer in the Edit page. For more
information on using an Offline video to compare with a timeline in the Edit page,
see Chapter 46, “Preparing Timelines for Import and Comparison.
Grading Multicam Clips
Multicam clips appear like any other clip in the Color page. However, each angle within a
multicam clip has its own grade (unlike the Take Selector described later, in which all takes
share the same grade). If you grade a multicam clip, you’re actually editing the grade of the
specific angle that’s currently exposed in that clip.
If you want access all of the angles within a multicam clip for grading, right-click it and choose
“Open in Timeline” to expose each angle within a superimposed stack. Then you can open the
Color page and grade whatever angles you want, whether they’re visible back in the Edit page
or not. You might do this to make the different angles match one another better, or to pre-grade
all of the angles to give them the look you want prior to multicam editing. You also need to use
“Open in Timeline” in order to access and manipulate the camera RAW settings if your footage
was shot in a RAW format.
An open multicam clip in the Color page exposes all of its angles for individual grading
Because opening multicam clips in the Timeline results in a vertical stack of superimposed
clips, you’ll want to turn on Unmix in the Color page viewer so that you can actually see the
currently selected angle in the Thumbnail Timeline while you work.
The Unmix control lets
you see only one of a
superimposed stack of clips
When you’re done grading the individual angles, go back to the Edit page, and use the path
control at the bottom left-hand corner of the Timeline to return to your edited timeline.
