A reinstall was the only way to get back up and running. Eventually I got to a point where the software crashed as soon as it launched because it was trying to recover a corrupted project. Attempting to combine footage from three different cameras caused the software crash repeatedly. It coped better with four streams, although it varied widely depending on which cameras’ footage was used. Preview performance in the Multi-Camera Editor was pretty bumpy when editing six 1080p AVC streams on our Core i7 870 PC. That’s a fair compromise, though, and there’s a clear warning before you do so. Returning to the Multi-Camera Editor is possible too in order to access the multiple thumbnails, although doing so discards any edits performed outside this editor. It’s also possible adjust the timing of cuts here, or to switch streams, without losing sync. I particularly like how an effect can be applied to a single cut, to one of the underlying video streams or the entire multi-camera object. Double clicking it unpacks it on the main timeline, whereupon transitions and effects can be added. Back in the main editor, the Multi-Camera Editor’s output is represented by a single object.
