Getting Started with Multi-Camera Editing
Before diving into editing, it's important to shoot your video material with multiple cameras. Ensure that all your cameras are synchronized, either by recording them simultaneously or by using a method such as a clapboard to create clear audio cues for syncing in post-production.

- Syncing Clips: Wondershare Filmora offers several syncing methods. You can choose to sync via audio, where the software will analyze the sound waves and align the clips. Alternatively, you can manually sync using the in-and-out points of each clip.
- Editing the Multi-Camera Sequence: Once the clips are synced, the Multi-Camera Editor will open. Here, you can switch between different camera angles in real time while playing back the footage. This allows you to choose the best angles for each part of your video.
Fine-Tuning Your Video
After selecting your preferred camera angles, you can proceed to adjust the sound, color, and other effects to enhance the overall quality of your video. Don’t forget to trim any unnecessary sections and add transitions between clips for a smoother viewing experience.
