Is there any course on making videos with mutiple cameras, and syncing the audio? How do you record a live event with two camera angles and then edit it later on?

If only i would have read kelly's comment earlier on. I just taped a conference and I used 3 diferent cameras and the whites were diferent in each shot. I've had to do major surgery using Apple Color. I learned the hard way but still it's great to know for future reference.

Another helpful tip for multi-camera shooting is to be sure that all cameras white balance properly sampling the same white under the lights you plan to shoot under. You can while balance somewhat in "Post" but it can be difficult to match. Easier to just do it before you shoot.

Also be aware of audio levels. If the guests are shot close together (each having a separate lav) and the levels are off (meaning you have to boost the level more for one mic than the other in post) you will get a slight echo from the other mic.

Just as Kelly said, you can do the timecode lock, OR, if you do not have that feature available on your cameras, then you can simply do a light/sound sync. To do this, you will use either a light or a loud noise, and just flash the light a quick burst, or for sound, a loud clap or so, and then when you import your footage to your editor, you can just sync those signals. It's not as easy as the timecode lock, but if its the only option you have, you go with it.

Depending on the type of camera that you have, you would use timecode lock between the two cameras so that you can sync them in your editing program later. We don't currently have a course on multi-camera shoots, but we plan to add it in the near future.
