How to edit multiple takes into music performance video?
I have a little video editing experience using Adobe Premiere Pro, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I think I'd like to switch to DaVinci Resolve but would like to ask the community which software would make this easier. I don't have a mac so Final Cut is not an option.
I record music and film each performer (landscape, with an iphone) as they play. Each instrument (drums, bass, multiple guitar tracks, and singing) usually performs multiple takes of the song, one at a time. For example, the drummer might play the entire song five or ten times and each time he plays the song we call it a "take." I then take the best parts of each take to make the final instrumental performance. In the drummer's case, I might use take 3 for the first part of the song, take 8 for a brief section in the bridge, and then take 7 for the last part of the song.
I'd like to create a video project where I have a single video sequence of each performer (drums, bass, guitars, singer) playing the entire song -- but I want each performer's sequence to only include the parts of the takes I actually used in the final recording. In the example above, the drummer sequence would just have a part of take 3 for the beginning, part of take 8 for the bridge, and part of take 7 for the end of the song. I don't mind if you can see the edits in this sequence, and I don't care about keeping takes, or parts of takes, that are not used in the final recording.
I'd like to be able to export from this video project two types of video:
a single performer playing the song from start to finish full screen
a montage of the various performers playing the song together, perhaps split screen or tiled or sequential edits showing the interesting moments from various players.
Can someone outline a workflow that would make this efficient? Any advice would be much appreciated.
