Video Editing Software Vegas 5
Video editing software?
Hi there!
I’m looking for a video editing software, with which you can see the preview of several video tracks (at least 3), while editing.
Thanks in advance!
Details:
We recorded a school leavers’ ball with 5 camcorders, from 5 different angles, simultaneously and we want to make one full video out of these materials we have. It would be hard to do the editing using a software like Sony Vegas, in which you can see the preview of only one video at a time.
Hi.
No video editing software is going to let you preview five different shots AT ONCE. To do this, you would have to have 5 separate viewer windows. This simply does not exist.
No matter what edit program you use, you can only preview one thing at a time. Once multiple sources of video are on your time line mixed together, you can view them all at once, but I do not think that’s what you’re talking about.
If you shot an event with 5 cameras, I assume the cameras were locked down in one spot the entire time. (Unless maybe you had a hand held.) Therefore, it does not seem like you would really need to be constantly previewing the shot. Each camera would be getting a pretty predictable shot. Now if they were all moving around all the time, the shots won’t be at all predictable, so the only way to do it is familiarize yourself with the footage first.
Normally, before editing any project, you need to become very familiar with all your footage. You need to watch all your footage and write down what shots you particularly like. You can speed through this fairly quickly if the person editing is already relatively familiar with the footage. This way, you are “previewing” your footage before you actually start editing, not during the actual editing process. This is simply the way it is done. No one EVER should use the editing process to get familiar with their footage. That should be done before actual editing begins. Now during editing, you will have to look at it again and again to remind yourself what is where, but if you sit down to edit a project with no idea what your footage is you are doing it in a dreadfully inefficient way.
Now here is one way you could do it and achieve what you’re asking for even though you can not preview more than one shot at a time. I have done this technique before for simple studio shows, but never for something like a dance.
Put all 5 of your cameras video on a separate line in your time line. Obviously, you would have to have a program with at least 5 available video lines to do this. No free program (that I know of) gives you that many lines but more sophisticated programs do.
Once you have all 5 video tracks down in the time line, then it is easy to preview them and compare them to your other shot possibilities. Then you whack out the 4 shots you don’t want, leaving the one you do. But honestly, doing it this way for something like a dance would probably not make too much sense. Like I said, I’ve done it for simple studio shows where the shots are almost all alike and the action and dialogue all needed to be synchronized, but with something like a dance where the video changes drastically and the video does not need to be synced so precisely this method would not make much sense.
I hope this makes sense to you.
