- Good morning, everybody!
Welcome to a new week.
Ooh, I am excited!
I just made coffee.
I'm feeling better,
and I'll tell you why I'm feeling better.
I hurt my foot yesterday
in the most obnoxious way.
I was jumping up the stairs
over our little baby gate,
and I smoked the banister.
I just straight up just NFL kicked it,
straight boot.
Really really hurt in the moment,
and then I got over it.
But then, as the night progressed,
it started hurting more.
I'm sitting there watching The Walking Dead
with my wife, thinking, "Ow, my foot kinda hurts."
And then we're watching the new Jessica Jones,
and I'm like, "ow, my foot really hurts."
Then I got into bed, and I was like,
(gasping)
I couldn't fall asleep until 4 o'clock in the morning,
I woke up late and I was like,
"Oh, my goodness,
this throws off all my plans for the video,"
but I wanna get a video for you guys,
so I'm gonna do Mail Time,
because I haven't opened any mail in ages.
It's been forever.
But I figured instead of just opening Mail Time
any regular way, I would set up Camera 1,
I think I'm gonna do Camera 2 top down
and maybe Camera 3 from the side.
So we're gonna roll that whole Mail Time
with three different angles.
So the reason I wanna do this
with three different angles is because last week,
I did a video with Chris Hau
on the creative process
and talking about coming up with ideas,
stuff like that.
Now, we used three different cameras,
and they all ran for over an hour long.
And it's been a while since I've done an edit
that is that long.
So I figured to myself and I started editing it like,
"Oh, this is gonna be a nightmare,"
and I came up with a way to do it.
No, I shouldn't say I came up with it.
This is not mine, I did not invent this.
This is not new.
I'm sure there are tons of tutorials online already
with how to do this,
but I wanted to teach you guys,
because I figured if I don't know,
chances are you probably might not know, either.
And for those of you that do, awesome.
I don't know how you didn't tell me about this earlier.
Okay, what do we need?
I need this body.
That's gonna be side angle.
This one's gonna be main angle.
And then we need one more for top-down.
So I'll probably end up using this guy.
I need a good lens, I think we'll go 24 mil,
and then maybe we'll go 24-70,
so I have some options.
That should do it.
Get some batteries in here,
make sure these are charged.
Yup.
Gonna need a C-stand, sandbag,
move this light to here.
Let me do all that.
Be right back.
(upbeat music)
What's up?
We are rolling all the cameras.
Give a little clap, so that the software is able to
very easily distinguish from all three camera angles
and all three mics.
If you are doing multiple camera stuff,
you wanna make sure that you have a microphone
either working internally
or on top of all the cameras,
so that the software can pick up audio points.
Mix them all in post and sync it up for you
without any problems.
Okay, we've got some mail to go through.
Let's get started.
What have we got here?
"Dear Peter McKinnon,
"My boyfriend Jay and I love your videos.
"When I jumped back on YouTube,
"Jay, for inspiration, showed me your channel.
"At the time, you had 55,000-plus.
"But to see it now is so inspirational."
Thank you!
"I hope you like your custom Amiibo."
Oh, this girl tweeted me this on Twitter.
Look at this.
What the heck?
How is this even a thing?
I think it's supposed to be,
it looks like it kind of fell down.
How do I get it, I wanna get it right-side up.
It's me!
Oh, wow, this is so awesome!
I can't believe this was handmade.
How do I fix this?
This is for sure going on the shelf behind me.
Guys, I'll leave her links below,
give her some love, check it out,
tell her how amazing this thing is.
You have incredible penmanship.
Thank you so much.
Get a look at this, taking a look.
Ooh, this is fun!
Let's cut this string here.
Boop!
Inside, what do we got?
Ooh, is that the owl?
That is super cool!
How does that even?
"My name is Ollie, I'm not a filmmaker myself,
"but I'm a fellow creative guy who loves
"photography and anything with Old World charm."
Well, that makes two of us.
Very, very cool.
What is this?
Stampitude.
Ooh, wow, what is all, this is such fun stuff!
Wow, this is a good Mail Time day.
Oh, okay, so,
(gasps)
So this is an owl wax stamp.
Super cool.
That is amazing, thank you so much.
That's very very thoughtful.
I'm gonna keep this, I'm gonna use this.
That is dope.
Okay, so this isn't very hard to do.
So the first thing you wanna do is open up Premiere
and grab all the camera angles that you have.
Now, if your camera is anything like mine,
my C200 actually breaks my clips up,
depending on how long I record for
into various clips.
So a 17-minute segment might end up being eight clips.
So if that's the case for you, as well,
just thrown them all into the timeline,
throw the color grade on that you want,
highlight them all,
and then nest those clips.
To do that, just right-click,
go up to Nest.
We're gonna name that "Camera 1."
Once we're done with that, we're gonna hit OK.
I'm also gonna do that to the other clips
in my project settings.
I'm gonna go over, right-click on those,
and name this one Camera 3,
and I will name this one Camera 2.
So now that's nice and neat and organized,
we can continue and make our multi-camera session.
Alright, so to do this, just highlight all of them.
Right-click and go down to
Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence.
That's gonna open up this scary looking dialogue box,
but don't worry.
We're gonna sync these all based off the audio.
Make sure audio is what's selected,
and then you can come down to the audio settings down here
and make sure it's selected to Camera 1.
Now, Camera 1 just means that it's gonna
pull the audio from the first camera source,
which is why we nested that clip
and named it Camera 1.
What we don't wanna select is the switch audio option,
because that's just gonna change the audio
every time we change the camera,
so if we go to the overhead camera,
it switches the audio to the overhead camera.
If we go to the side camera,
it's gonna take that audio,
and we don't want any of that.
We want it to take our main camera audio
from our main camera,
and run that all the way through,
no matter what angle we're switching to.
Go ahead, hit OK,
it's gonna do its magic and it's gonna drop
a new sequence in your project settings.
So go ahead and delete whatever
is in your sequence settings right now,
drag this onto your timeline.
That is our new file.
This is what we'll be editing.
Now, you'll notice if you just play it back,
you're only seeing one angle,
so you might say to yourself,
"I don't understand, where is everything else?"
And there's a certain view you need to toggle
to get into this multi-camera edit mode
that really makes it easy and fast.
So, this here little icon is the icon that we need.
If you don't have it, come over to the plus sign here,
you'll see it in the window,
you can drag that down into your toolbar.
Hit OK, good to go,
then once you have it, click it,
and you'll notice all of the angles show up,
as well as the main angle.
So those three angles are showing you
all cameras running at the same time,
and on the right is your actual finished video.
That's what people are watching.
That's your finished product.
Live cameras on the left,
finished product on the right.
All you have to do is just hit spacebar,
let it play,
and when you feel you want to change the camera angle,
just hit 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard.
If you've got four cameras, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
so on and so forth, but it's super easy.
Essentially, you're just watching it play.
Whenever you wanna switch to that camera,
you just hit number 2 on your keyboard,
and it's gonna switch right over to that, no questions.
You wanna switch back, you hit 1, you hit 3.
You just jump around your camera angles
how you see fit.
Now, if you end up selecting a camera that you
don't want, it's easy to go back.
You just hit spacebar to pause everything.
Zoom in a little bit, so you can see,
scrub that play head back to the clip that's wrong,
and just change the number on your keypad.
If it says 3, change it to 2,
and then it'll make that cut for you.
You don't have to rearrange anything.
Cut, blade, nothing like that.
It's instantly switched.
You'll also notice, in real time,
when you're making those edits
and you're hitting 1, 2, 3 on your keyboard,
nothing's actually showing up in the timeline
until you stop it.
When you stop it, all of those cuts come up.
That's essentially it.
If you wanna change 'em,
like I said, you can go back,
highlight them, just change the number,
it changes the clip,
and that is all you have to do.
So for that video that I did last week,
I just watched the conversation that Chris and I had,
because you can see all camera angles
playing live in real time,
if Chris started laughing at a joke that I was saying,
I would switch to him laughing,
or vice versa, switch to me laughing,
or if it was something of us interacting together
that looked good for the main angle,
I'd switch to the main angle,
or you wanna see from the box top-down,
you switch top-down.
And that's really all there is to it.
That's the fastest way to edit a multi-camera session.
So if you are starting a podcast,
or other people that you know
want you to film a podcast,
or maybe you have an interview to do,
this goes like, the sky's the limit for this,
but this technique within Premiere Pro,
when you are editing anything with multiple cameras,
this is a really good way to see it happen live,
feel it, and go off your intuition.
Essentially, it's like live editing.
Real-time live editing,
and I couldn't be more excited about it.
So that's it for me, guys.
I hope you liked this video.
Hit that Like button if you liked it,
smash it, if that's something that you're into.
Subscribe if you aren't already,
and, and I really hope you guys give this a shot.
I hope you guys try this out,
and I hope it helps your workflow.
I will see you guys in the next video.
Also, I hope my foot stops hurting.
Okay, bye.
How awesome is this?
She handmade this.
Handmade this!
(laughs)
Look at the back!
It looks like an actual,
looks like you just go to Toys R Us and buy this.
This is amazing!
