I guess I don't understant step 2 where you're copying everything to another sequence. Arent all the clips you intend to use already there without needing another sequence?
Step 2 insures I maintain a source sequence which I can refer back to where everything is (or was) still in sync. Actually, there are some clips (or parts of some clips I should say) that I don't want as part of my multicam sequence. For example. To keep it simple, lets just say I have a ceremony with 2 cams. Cam started recording 5 minutes before cam 2 did, and cam 2 continued shooting for 5 minutes after cam 1 shut off. So, I don't need the first 5 minutes of the synched sequence to be part of the multi-cam sequence... there is no point (it's just once cam) likewise, I don't need the last 5 minutes of the synched sequence to be part of my multi-cam sequence (agan, no point it just one cam). So, what I'll do is splice the beggining of cam 1 clip at the start point of cam 2, and splice the end of cam 2 clip where cam 1 stops. Then I'll copy the sections of the sequence that are (shall we say, in common, or overlap) into a new sequence nameed Multi-Cam Edit. By leaving the original sequence intact, I can always come back to that sequence and see what parts I need to assemble before the start and after the end of the multi-cam sequence. I also use this original sync sequence as a source for all of my other audio tracks since multi cam will only allow you to use 1 track of audio when you import it into a "multi-cam" activated sequence. (Does that make sense?)
And I guess I have a step zero that comes before your step 1. I put each individual camera in its own sequence. It makes it much easier to apply color correction to these and prerendering is much faster because there's nothing else there.
Good point. However, I as well can easily go back to my original "Ceremony Sync" sequence where I have each camera in it's own video track and add a color correction filter (or whatever) to that undisturbed video track (which is still 1 long clip assuming you didn't stop and start the camera once you started recording) and because this sequence is the source file for your multi-cam sequence, it will automatically change the properties of that clip throughout the length of the multi-cam sequence. If you don't want your entire clip to be affected, splice the clip in your original synced clip and add the filter to that part of the clip that you want to be effected, and the change will automatically occur in your multi-cam sequence, and you won't even have to re-render (well I don't have to re-render using a Matrox real time filter anyway ... black and white for example). Does that answer your question?
