Multicam Editing in AVScript: All Angles, One Export

Tomislav Brdjanović
Published date:

If you’ve ever managed a multicam shoot — interviews with two angles, panel discussions, live events — you know the pain: every NLE handles multicam differently, and switching between XML formats is its own project.

AVScript reads your existing multicam FCPXML directly. No conversion. No re-logging.


01
Import your multicam FCPXML

Drag and drop your multicam XML from Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro. AVScript parses every camera angle, every source file path, and every timecode automatically. All angles appear in the Media Bin, linked to their source clips.

Multicam clip — Interview Panel
CAM A● Wide shot — all speakers
CAM BClose-up — speaker left
CAM CClose-up — speaker right
02
Switch angles per clip

Each clip in the timeline has a camera angle selector. Click to switch — AVScript recalculates the source timecode instantly so the cut point stays locked. Mark your selects across angles the same way you would for single-cam footage: JKL to shuttle, I/O to mark, E to add.

03
Export a clean assembly cut

Export as FCPXML 1.13. Every angle switch is preserved in the XML — when your editor opens it in Final Cut Pro, they see the assembly exactly as you built it, with all source angles intact for refinement. No information lost in translation.


What gets preserved in the export

✓ Source timecodes   ✓ Angle assignments   ✓ Clip descriptions   ✓ Slugs

The FCPXML AVScript exports is the same format Final Cut Pro wrote — no translation layer, no compatibility warnings, no “Translation Report”. Your editor opens it and gets to work.
