  Marrying two pieces of media.

  Posted by Scott Davis on February 8, 2011 at 1:34 am

  I have a ton of material that has been captured into our system. A good deal of it is in French so we had a translator come in and record an english track strictly for the producer and editor to be able to understand the French. It was done in reels; all the clips from a reel were laid out in a sequence and the translation track drops in. This works fine for screening purposes but I am concerned with how to keep the clip and its corresponding translation track linked up during the edit. Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  If your sequences are only one event, one video track and multiple audio tracks, then highlight the sequence and do an AutoSync. It will create a subclip of those tracks as a new source. If your timeline is multiple events, then break it down as best you can into “sub” sequences that only contain one event, one video, and multiple audio.
