Multi-camera editing
Three cameras and one room. Most of the craft goes into making the seams stop existing.
The short version
What you get. Angles that feel like one room, with synchronised sound and an organised working project.
Is this for you? For lessons, interviews and other productions recorded on two or more cameras. If you need to edit the working project independently, that handover and its fee are agreed separately, in writing.
What leaves your plate. Sync, angle organisation, the cut and missing-file checks, using a reference project built for your brand.

What makes a multi-camera edit dependable
Every angle is nested, named and colour-coded before a cut is made
We organise each angle against a reference project, with consistent names and colours. Another editor in the team can find the shot and understand the structure without reconstructing the previous edit.
Sound lives inside the main angle's nest
In our reference setup, production sound follows one controlled path and duplicate scratch tracks are muted. We check the export for accidental doubling or sync drift.
No two neighbouring shots share a distance
Cut from a wide to a wide with nothing else changing and the change reads as a mistake rather than a move; where the material wants two shots of a similar size, the way round it is a real change of angle or composition, the same thirty-degree instinct a drama editor works by. Our default is that every adjacent pair differs in how close it sits, and across the piece the scale drifts inward slowly enough to go unnoticed, though a cut back to wide is kept in hand to reset where the viewer is. Two house habits, both invisible, and together they are most of the reason a static three-camera shoot feels like it has movement in it.
A missing angle goes back to the shoot the same day
The first pass over a new batch is an inventory: a folder and a project per video, then a check on what did not arrive. Anything absent goes straight to the people who filmed it, before the edit starts. An editor who quietly works around a gap has taught the shoot that the gap was survivable, and it will be there again next month.
How a project is built and kept
Assembly before anything pretty
Downloads, the shared tracking sheet, a folder and a project per video, then the nests. The cut and the transitions come next, with markers dropped on everything that needs a second pass. Colour, type and motion happen last, on a timeline whose length has stopped changing. Grading a shot that later gets shortened is work paid for twice.
Markers are notes to your future self
They carry what a thumbnail cannot show: where the inset window has to come off, where a title is due, where a decision was deliberately deferred. A marker costs four seconds now. Reconstructing why you left that particular gap, three weeks and eleven videos later, costs an afternoon and usually a phone call.
One reference project per brand
New work starts from the same skeleton every time: the same nest names, the same track layout, the same colours. It is so a partner's videos can be opened by whichever of us is free, in whatever order the shoot list dictates, without a handover conversation first. The skeleton is built for that one brand and revised as the work does; what it holds still is the plumbing, so the attention goes to the cut rather than to rebuilding the project every time.
At the bench
The work, demonstrated
Try a decision from the craft: drag, tap or toggle, then read the trade-off.
These are illustrative models; no partner’s results are shown.

What changes for you
Angles that feel like one room and a repeatable project structure for the team making your videos. Editable project-file handover is available under separate written terms.
