Add videos to timeline including realtime gaps

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Not really. this is a workaround:

1. Set start time of your sequence to the start time of the first clip

2. Place two of the same clip on the timeline: one in video/audio lane 1, the other in audio/video lane 2. Select them and right click, select synchronize

3. In the window that pops up, select timecode. You should notice that the timecode starts at the same spot as the clips; no need to alter it. Hit ok.

4. Delete the contents of the timeline for now.

5. Place each clip in a different audio/video layer of the timeline (sucks, I know), select all, right click and select synchronize.

6. Timecode will be grayed out but, thanks to steps 1-3, will still be selected. Hit OK

That should do the trick. Nest the sequence and it should act like one continuous video file.

Angelo thanks for the tip. Though I did everything as you said it doesn’t work. In step 6 all clips go to the same timecode.

What dSLR are you using? Is there proper timecode embedded into the file?

I use Canon60d with Magic Lantern. Should I embeed some example file details?

I can’t see any timecode information in the files. These are properties for one of the original footages taken from premiere bin:

File Path: L:MVI_1163.MOV
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 13,4 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29,97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz – compressed – Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz – 32 bit floating point – Stereo
Total Duration: 00;00;02;14
Average Data Rate: 5,4 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0

In the bin, when I click PPM on the file and select modify, the timecode option is unavailable (not clickable). Does it mean that my files are out of timecode information? If so, is there any way to change that? I suppose for this project I am out of options but for future…
