Major Change since Version 3.0
Starting with Version 3.0 live:cut is completely integrated in Just Control. There is no separate application anymore, instead you may start a live:cut project directly in Just Control. Open the menu File → Create live:cut project to switch to the live:cut interface.
live:cut enables a multicamera workflow for up to 16 cameras, reducing production time by eliminating time-consuming production steps.
live:cut centralizes ingest, metadata logging and take handling.
live:cut records an EDL (Edit Decision List) based on trigger information from a hardware or software switcher. This EDL can then be used as a multicamera sequence in your NLE of choice (see Supported NLEs below).
live:cut currently works with Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. The generated Multicam description file can also be imported and edited with DaVinci Resolve v.18.
Trimming, re-editing and slip & slide operations are available a few seconds after the recording has finished.
Setting up your live:cut System
A live:cut system consists of two main components
The Just In Engine application for the native SDI based video ingest process.
Just Control which controls the native ingest process and handles the EDL-to-XML generation.
Single or Multi-System Setups
Single System Setup: Just In Engine and Just Control run on the same machine. This is good for simple setups where the number of video streams is low.
Multi-System Setup: Just In Engine and Just Control run on different machines. Editing on the machine running Just Control is still possible. This is good for setups with many video streams.
