Hello,
I am enjoying Kdenlive.
I just wanted to add a request for the Multicam Feature.
I do a lot and I mean a lot of Multicam setups and edits.
I work with many different cameras in one sequence.
Premiere pro has a good experience. (I have not tried Davinci Resolve so that might be better)
My request is to add a better Multicame workflow and features to support that.
Like for example, on Premiere Pro, you can put all your footage into one Sequence and then next that sequence into another one and then start switching to camera angle by switching which track its pulling from.
On Premiere Pro, you can just use the number pad by hand, which works great.
Can you add something similar to Kdenlive?
This is a big feature for me and I do a lot of editing on TV Shows and other big projects every day.
Thank you
In Kdenlive you have to start in the “multicam source sequence”. Here you can switch with the numpad key from camera to camera.
Once done you can select all clips and create a new nested sequence to have it lean. But this new sequence is “one block” of video and you don’t see the cuts anymore. So ripple in the nested sequence is not possible anymore for finetuning.
Yes, I am glad that this has been worked on.
I do think that is a problem, though. To not be able to go back and make changes and edits to the multicam sequence really hinders the power of multicam.
For now, until there is further improvement, I will to be able to use this.
I do believe that this will be possible eventually.
I think you may have misunderstood what Eugen said. You can always modify the multicam sequence. You just need to do it in that sequence. Any changes there will automatically be reflected anywhere it is nested if you use that additional optional step.
I think i do understand it. I am not saying its impossible to go back and make changes in KDElive. I think what i am trying to say is how many steps are involved to make changes.
I very busy so i dont have a lot of time to go into this but if you study how to do multicam in Premiere pro, then that should explain it best.
i have to work on multicam every day, i have a lot of work i do with multicam.
The workflow is really good in premere pro and would love to see that in KDElive.
if i get some more time, i will do my best to give examples.
The goal here isn’t to just clone what other editors are doing, it’s to explore and do what is best for us and our users. So it’s good to differentiate between what people find difficult at first because it’s different to some other tool they have come from, and what is more difficult than it could be because there really is some better way we could be doing something.
