HELP! Need to sync multi clips with different frame rates
I am under the gun to get these clips ready for the editor so I’ll try my best to explain.
I have clips shot on the red, two cameras- no sync timecode. I have used the A camera to sync the MOS clips from the B camera. I have other clips that one camera was shooting in 23.98 and the other in 24fps.
I really have two problems: the merged clip (merged because of syncing the sound from A Cam to B Cam) won’t gang up at the right sync point – I know you can used ctrl+shift to move the thumbnail/viewer but the clips are off by a lot, there has got to be a better way.second question- multiclipping different frame rate.
Please help!

You cannot multiclip different frame rates nor different formats. They need to match EXACTLY in order to be multiclipped.

Thanks, if it can’t be done it can’t be done.
Have you ever made multi clips using in points and it matches it in the wrong place?

Nope.

Hello all,
I am trying to multiclip with the idea of using a clip created from stills. The images are some PowerPoints that I want to become a clip. They were imported at 1:30 each and would be running alongside two cameras that captured a lecture.I’ve made the two cameras that taped the lecture into a multiclip, and I have put all the stills in a folder, made them Angle 3 (the two cameras are angles 1 and 2), and tried to drag that folder into the viewer when it was in multiclip view.
But i get an error message that the codecs don’t match, and I don’t know how to fix this. Seems like with stills I might have a few options that wouldn’t be available for moving video.
Any one got any ideas?Elizabeth

Multi-clip editing works with QTs only and those QTs must be identical codecs and frame rates.
The workflow typically used for something like this is to simply cut the two camera lecture as fast as you can, then resize it. Then go back and cut the stills of PPT in using another pass.

Thank you, David! Just one point of confusion…
When you say to “resize” the edited multiclip of the two cameras, what size should I change it to?
Something that matches with the folder of TIFFs? Dimensionally, the stills and video are all the same.
Do I try to make the images into QTs? -
You said, “They were imported at 1:30 each and would be running alongside two cameras that captured a lecture.”
I thought you meant that you wanted to create a split screen with the lecture on one side in a window and the PPT on the other. Now I’m seeing that you probably just meant that the third multi-clip track would be the PPT.

Yes, using the converted PPTs as a third track in multiclipping. I like the “presenter in a box” approach but the slides are too busy for that.
