Patching on AvidXPro 4.6
Okay I have two video sources I’m using for a live show and the first camera I’m using on V1 and the second camera I want to use on V2, but I can’t seem to drag the video from Source to the Timeline V2, it wants to go to V1 instead.
How do I set it up so that it goes straight to V2 and A3 and A4?
Here’s a screenshot of what I want.
I can’t seem to change the V1 patch to V2 or add the V2 patch. Can that be done? Thanks.

If you click and drag the v1 on the left, click and drag to the v2 on the right,(as you do this you will see an arrow as you drag to v2) now you will have v1 on the left and v2 on the right. I hope you can understand that.

Kevin, Thanks for replying. I’ve done that and it still moves the video and audio to V1A1A2. Is there a way to create a Patch V2? I think that will work.

Drag you active track indicator to V2. Right now, your screen shot shows you have V1 as the active track. Click and hold on active track indicator, and you’ll see a list of tracks. Select V2, and you should be golden.

Jon, I did that and AvidXPRO still forces me to drag from the source to V1 even though I’m holding my cursor over V2 on the timeline. Here’s a screen shot of what you wanted me to do right?

Why don’t you edit it to V2? It accomplishes the same thing. If you are doing a music video, try multicam – it’s da’ bomb…

what do you mean edit it to V2?

Just like you did to V1, except you patch the active track to V2, and hit the little red arrow…. Avid doesn’t really do drag and drop. It’s more of a ‘park the blue line and overwrite/splice in’ kind of thing…

Hi aplusjimages, Right click on the timeline to revel the timeline settings and go to the “edit” tab > and select “Auto patching” and once you do this, any active video source track (V1) will automatically patch to the active video track on the time line (V1 or V2 or V3…. which ever is highlighted). Now in your case, you need to highlight V1 on your source side and select V2 on the timeline and de-select V1. You will notice that the source V1 has automatically patched to V2. Now drag the source clip from the source monitor and place it on V2. (Happy editing)
