To answer your question, Adobe Premiere Pro has all the features you'd want
including multi-camera support. I always use multi-cameras and sync them (I
sync them by feeding identical audio to all cameras and sync the audio
waveform. Otherwise, trying to sync on video can be very trying!) And no,
you do not focus on the starting frame - you will be syncing on any
convenient point within the overlaid clips.
Philosophically, it's easy to realize that with editing software, while just
about any product can help you make a final video, each of them will do
things in a way different from the others. Also, the more "professional"
software will do many more things than the simpler software. The more
complex software has tools allowing nicer looking videos whereas the simpler
software may be slightly more limited.
>From your standpoint consider two things: One, if you're going to be
involved doing this over and over again, it might be profitable to invest
time and money in learning a more complete software package whereas for a
quick-n-dirty one time investigation effort, using a simpler software may
suffice. Second, if the video is to make presentations then a more polished
look is justified than if you are simply doing engineering analysis work.

Subject: [AP] Getting started
Newbie here. I have a project I'm working on in a manufactoring facility. I
have never used any video editing software. I don't even know what to call
video editing stuff - absolutly clueless. What I'm looking for is editing
software that is somewhat easy to use but must have the abililty to merge 2
to 4 video clips onto one screen. I don't know if that is called multi-frame
or what. Basically, I want to sync a few clips of manufactoring equipment
such that I can see them operate simultaneously. Of course I would need to
adjust the starting frame of each clip such that the starting points are the
same. This will allow me to compare performance between the equipment. Could
someone please suggest the software I need. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Tks!
