Multi-Camera Editing 235
Basic steps in multi-camera editing
The following steps provide a basic overview of the multi-camera
editing process.
1 Import the video and audio clips that you want to use into the
VideoStudio Library. Typically these are multiple clips that capture
the same event, at the same time.
2 Choose the clips in the Library and import them into the Multi-
Camera Editor.
3 Synchronize the clips across the timeline. You can do this
automatically if all the clips have audio, but there are a range of
methods you can use for synchronization.

clips simultaneously, and in the multi-view pane, click the
“Camera” that you want to show. You can switch clips as many
times as you like. The selected footage displays in the main
preview pane. You can then review your project in the
Multi-
Camera
track and fine-tune it.
6 Save and exit the Multi-Camera Editor to return to VideoStudio
and output the project.
