Let’s run through a few examples of how our new multi-cam import unlocks new ways to create better video faster.

Create a podcast episode in minutes with two phones

Use two iPhones, iPads, or Android devices as your camera and record directly on the device, using the standard camera app. Record the videos you’re using in Detail in 30 frames per second for the best results.

To upgrade your audio, you can use a wireless lavalier microphone, a USB or lightning microphone, or connect an audio interface to your phone (more tips in this blogpost). You connect the microphone to one of the two devices.

After recording, you AirDrop or transfer your files to Mac.

Create a new Project in Detail, select Multi-Cam Import, and select the video files you recorded. You can easily align the audio tracks of the two videos.

If you used an external microphone, you can disable the audio track of the other video track. Click on the 🎥 + 🔇 icon to disable an audio track that you don’t want to use.

Audio devices like the Rode Video Go II Wireless and the DJI Mic can output two audio channels and assign a microphone to the left and another microphone to the right channel. If you have two input channels, you can use the Podcast Auto Edit in Detail to automatically edit your entire podcast episode. Read all about Podcast Auto Edit.

Tip: Clap once at the start of your recording to make it super easy to align the audio and video.

Record a podcast with two camera’s and RodeCaster or Zoom Recorder

You can record high-quality video directly in camera and combine the video files and audio from an external recording, into a project in Detail. Just press record on both camera’s and your audio interface.

Tip: Detail renders your video sources in 30 frames per second. Make sure to adjust your camera settings for the best, consistent quality in Detail.

After you’re done recording, you transfer the video and audio files to your Mac and create a new Multi-Cam Project in Detail.

Generate a transcript for your video and use Podcast Auto Edit to automatically edit your entire podcast episode. With the AI Highlight Markers you can mark and export highlight clips, and you can use our Magic Canvas to export vertical and horizontal video instantly.

Record a tutorial or unpacking video with a second angle

Record a tutorial video or unpacking video with two camera angles. Just hit record on your camera or iPhone, clap your hands once (to easily align the video’s) and transfer the files to your Mac after you’re done.

Create a new Project in Detail, select Multi-Cam Import, and align both video files in a few seconds. Once you imported the files, you can edit the timeline. Some editing tips:

Use X to create a cut, or right click Split Clip
Move the Playhead with your mouse or the arrow keys.
Use Space to play and pause.
Switch the selected scene for a clip by clicking on the scene.
Make a cut and switch to a scene by using Option + Clicking on the Scene

After generating the Transcript of your video, you can easily navigate your timeline by clicking on the text in your transcript.

You can use Combo Scenes to show your two camera’s side-by-side or picture-in-picture. Combo Scenes are responsive, so if you switch between the horizontal or vertical canvas, the picture will automatically adjust. To export your video, you can just select your preferred layout and export.
