Saw a link to a how to video on using shotcut to create a virtual performance video.
Unfortunately in order to view the video you have to be a paid up member of the website it is on.
Does anyone know of a free tutorial that covers this?
- Add three or four video tracks by right clicking on V1 and then Add new video track.
- Add the required clips to the timeline and stack them up on each track.
Lets say you have four videos
Place video one on v1
Place video 2 on v2
Place video 3 on v3
Place video 4 on v4 - Go to filters and search for Size and Position in Video
- Apply the filter on V1 and change its size by using the round dots on the corners of the video frame.
- Do the same for the rest of the clips.
Thanks for the link.
It turns out to be a very basic tutorial, using an older version of Shotcut.
It does explain the basics quite well, so would be a good starting point for some.
It unfortunately uses less than optimal ways of doing things - like syncing tracks and manually moving things around. The use of preview to set in points or the use of presets to arrange tracks.
(There are existing presets for the 4 corners).
I was hoping for some more interesting thoughts. e.g. different screen layouts where one track is featured and an easy way to switch between tracks.
I think if I get time I may make a set of pre-sets for this kind of editing, including a frame, 4 way, split screen, 2/1, off screen for hiding a track.
Are you using one master audio track, while showing the various videos?
I was having a go at multicam editing. I had a test recording to play with.
Used a separate sound track and 4 camera tracks.
Got it syncing ok because we had a drum stick count.
It just got a bit hard switching between cameras and multicam views.
I settled on trying different filters to hide / show tracks or multi cam tracks.
I just need to create a consistent set of preset filters.
