Don asks: I film live musical performances using a three-camera setup. Using Final Cut Express, I typically bring the clips into a multi-track timeline and sync the clips to the master audio. Then to create the edit of the performance, I go through the performance and essentially select a camera angle by cutting it out of it’s track and dragging it up to a fourth video track. Is this approach to a synchronized multi-camera edit possible/practical in FCPX?
Jason asks: I just watched the Indiana State Fair stage collapse. After first being shocked, and after a few views, I couldn’t help but wonder why the videographer didn’t keep that unique footage he shot and sell it to major news outlets? It’s all over the web and on national and international news. I’m sure he could have made a bundle if he knew how. If I get into a situation like this how could I sell the footage I have?
