Auto Multicam: combining several cameras into one episode

Auto Multicam combines recordings of the same conversation into one full-length episode. Choppity lines up the camera files using their sound and cuts between cameras to follow the speaker. You can then review and edit the result.

Auto Multicam is available on the Creator plan and above.

Before you start

• Prepare 2–4 camera files in MP4 or MOV format, up to 3 hours per file.

• Keep the sound in each camera recording. Choppity uses it to line the cameras up.

• If you recorded separate sound on a microphone or mixer, you can also add one MP3, up to 3 hours long.

• Each uploaded file uses its own length of AI analysis time, including the optional sound file. Check that you have enough analysis time and storage for your files.

Combine your camera recordings

1. Sign in to Choppity and open Auto Multicam from the header menu, or go directly to Auto Multicam.

2. Under New episode, drop in your camera files or click to choose them. Add your separate sound file if you have one.

3. Check the files and enter an Episode name. You can remove a file from the list before combining.

4. Wait for every file to show Uploaded, then click Combine.

5. Watch the episode card for progress. Once it is ready, click it to open the combined video in the editor.

The files can continue processing after their uploads finish. You do not need to wait for that processing to finish before clicking Combine.

Review the finished episode

Play through the episode to check the sound, timing and camera switches. Use the editor to trim the video, adjust the edit and add captions before exporting.

If a camera's sound cannot be lined up confidently, that camera is left out of the automatic cut. If the separate sound file cannot be lined up, Choppity uses the camera audio instead and shows a note on the episode.

If something is not working

• Combine is unavailable: check that you have at least two camera files and that every upload has finished without an error.

• A file was skipped: use MP4 or MOV for cameras and MP3 for separate sound. You can add up to four cameras and one sound file.

• A file is too long: shorten it to 3 hours or less before uploading.

• A camera is missing from the edit: check that its original file contains the conversation's audio. Files without usable shared sound may not line up.

• You see an upgrade message: Auto Multicam requires the Creator plan or above.

Deleting an episode permanently deletes its combined video. The original camera files stay in your library.
