Handheld Sport

Synced Video editing with more than one camera?

I’m thinking about getting a few video cameras (handheld, nothing expensive) to record some of my school’s upcoming sports games.

I was wondering, would it be possible to have all of these cameras’ footage automatically syncronize itself.

What I mean is if I had a few cameras at field level, and one camera with a high view, would I be able to take all of the footage from these cameras, and somehow import it into my video editing program (vegas and have each of the cameras have the footage synced with another.

I hope you know what I mean
if not, lets say video layer 1 is the wide angle, video layer 2 is a field camera that is only recording when the action is close to it
example:
video layer 1 –kick ball————————-save———————
video layer 2 –kick ball—- – —–save—-

I would say record the whole game or event with all of the cameras (do not stop them), then upload your footage into Vegas. Put them in different layers, then synch them up by clapping or some audible action like the others said.

Once they are all lined up perfectly, select everything in the Timeline by pressing “Ctrl + A”. The go to tools, multicam editing, then enable multicam. Then in the preview window, you will see all of your angles in little boxes. All you have to do now is just play through the video, and click on a camera angle when you want to switch to it. When you are done switching angles and stuff, just go back to took, and uncheck the “enable multicam” button
