Speed up your multicam interview edits with pro tips and tricks. Use the new SmartSwitch in DaVinci Resolve 20 to accelerate multicam edits.


Speed up your multicam interview edits with these simple techniques

In this Insight, I’ll guide you through a basic multicamera interview edit in Adobe Premiere Pro.

This is a really common process and helpful to learn if you want to take on some of the growing number of ‘video podcasts’ out there. I’ll share some tips and tricks to help you complete a final edit faster.

We’ll also walk through how to use DaVinci Resolve 20’s new SmartSwitch feature, which automatically edits your multicamera interviews for you!

Use color to shape, transcripts to sculpt, SmartSwitch to automate

One of my favourite workflow practices when editing multicamera interviews is to make sure I colour-code my source clips.

This way, when you’ve finished your first pass of the edit and flattened your multicam clip, you’ll instantly be able to see the full shape of your edit.

At a glance, you’ll be able to evaluate:

  • How much is one person speaking?
  • Are you favouring one angle too much?
  • Is the flow of your edit smooth or choppy?
