Group Clips and Multicamera Workflows
Multiple cameras are often used for productions such as concerts, award shows, situation comedies, and reality TV. The resulting footage can then be used to create group clips, an asset type composed of footage recorded by more than one camera simultaneously. MediaCentral Cloud UX includes features for working with group clips in multiple-camera (multicamera) workflows.
Group Clips
Group clips are created in any of the applications in the Media Composer product family by syncing a group of clips based on common source timecode, auxiliary timecode, or marks placed in the footage. A user working in an Avid editing application can check group clips in to and out of a MediaCentral Production Management database. A user working in MediaCentral Cloud UX can view the group clips and use them to create a sequence. A sequence can contain a mix of master clips and group clips.
For more information about group clips and multicamera editing, see the documentation for Media Composer or another editing application in the Media Composer product family.
Avid Editing Applications
MediaCentral Cloud UX supports editing of sequences created in Avid Media Composer that contain group clips, if the sequence consists of cuts only (for example, a shotlist). The sequence opens in the Asset Editor and you can edit the sequence in the same way you edit a sequence you created in MediaCentral Cloud UX.
Subclips created from group clips, group clips composed of subclips, and multigroup clips are not currently supported for playback.
You cannot add group clips to a Sequence. For more information on the different asset types, see Understanding Sequence Types.
