Go to same position in two timelines (music video edit)
I am currently editing a music video. As I have almost 2 hours of material for a 4 minute video I have put all the clips in a timeline on seperate tracks and synced them to the song and then roughly cut out the parts that are good to use.
As you can see in the pic.

Now I want to do the final editing in another master timeline. Premiere CS6 allows you to drag and drop clips from one timeline to another. I am now desperate to find out how to move them to the exact same position.
Currently I am typing in the timecode and copy the clip that way at the same spot. But I’m convinced there must be an easier way.

Duplicate the original timeline. Or copy and paste the entire thing or large chunks at once. But those seem like such obvious answers. Having a hard time grasping why you would copy and paste shot by shot when it would be simpler to delete shot by shot.

Thanks for the answer!
This would be obviously the easiest aproach.
Still I find it more convenient to to work with one track and be able to insert only the clips I have carefully selected.Any ideas on how to achieve that?

What might be helpful instead…
is to edit UP to the top track on you multi-track edit…
use the razor blade to split edits from your source tracks at the lower levels and drag UP to the top track to do you assembly…
you cold always then copy and paste the master assembly to a different sequence if you wish.

(I posted this on your screengrab by mistake!)
Would it make sense just to nest the whole sequence in a new sequence and make it a multicam one?
I’ve just set up a test sequence in CS6 with 23 angles, and you could see them all at once in the multi camera monitor – you could even record angle switches live as you play through the track (iv our computer can keep up with showing that many in real time!)
I hope that helpsPaddy, CreativeMedia.org.uk

Thanks a lot everyone!
Setting up a Multicam sequence works as well but i actually used a copied timeline with all the shots in it and just dragged the parts i wanted to add down into an editing track. I can actually recommend that to everyone!
