Multicam editing 115
Action on OK: Thi
s provides three options. Either MAGIX Video Pro X4 splits
your video into individual scenes ("Cut at all markers"), a scene is selected and
cut only at this position ("Cut at selected marker"), or all scenes are added to
the project folder.
After deciding in favor of one of these options, red scene markers
will appear on the timeline in the arranger. The scenes can then be
split according to the selected option and edited.
Note: An important difference between a scene and a chapter marker is that a
scene marker can be set only within a continuous video, while a chapter
marker may include several consecutive videos.
Additional information about scene recognition is provided in the chapter "Edit
objects (view page 274)".
Shortcut for
scene recognition: Shift + Z
Multicam editing
Multicam editing enables easy cutting of various recordings of the same scene
from different camera perspectives. The preview monitor displays image
material from up to nine sources in sequence, from which the "program" can
be cut in real-time using your mouse, just like in a real studio.

Preparation
Multicam editing is a special arranger mode. The top two tracks serve as target
tracks; sound and video may copied from up to nine different source tracks.
The two top tracks must be empty when switching to "Multicam" mode, since
otherwise existing objects will be moved to a different track.
Next, load various video recordings of the same scene one under the other
starting on track 3 in the arranger.
It is important that the individual sources are synchronized to each other
exactly. It is best to find a noticeable movement, or a prominent sound, if audio
was recorded.
