Hi, I'm working on an artwork that will be two videos playing at the same time and in sync. Is it possible to edit on Final Cut, two video feeds that are synced together, and have two windows one for each seperate video feed on the same timeline?Im not looking to do a split screen, just to have two monitors playing different videos but synced and edited. I'm working on a Mac book Pro
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.7
It is certainly possible.
You could do two separate projects, and use markers and timecode to make sure that the content is synced the way that you want.
How you present will depend on how the hardware is set up. You could collate the two projects (say, each is HD, 1920x1080) as a single final one (which would be 3840x1080), and then set the playback machine to span the two screens; or you could export two separate movie files, and rely on starting them at the same time.
Again, this depends on where it be played back a mac, a pc, two tv monitors, some other AV device?
Hello, yes that sounds like a great idea. I think hardware for playback can be locked using timecode. I will have a play and test a few things. I guess for the actually editing it would work just to cut with split screen and then export separately at the end. will experiment. thank you kindly
Just a thought but you could EDIT the piece with both videos temporarily resized smaller to fit inside your Viewer, (Place one above the other in the timeline, then resize to 50% or whatever you need, and reposition them side by side) then after you edit them in sync, highlight one, tap V to disable that clip, resize the remaining one (a quick reset parameters on position and size) to full size, export it, then repeat the process with the other clip. If I'm understanding what you're aiming for correctly, that is.
yes thank you thats also great idea. thanks so much. greatly appreciated.
