Grouped clips cutting to timeline

If they both are in the grouped clip, then yes.

Possibly you want to use AutoSync rather than group (which is designed for multicamera editing) to combine the video with the 2 audio sources? Then you will have a subclip containing all the clips on different tracks (including the audio from the video clip if you select that option in the AutoSync dialogue).

Thanks Andrew! Will have a go at Autosyncing. Is it the same as Grouping clips in that you can toggle between the two?

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

I tried to autosync and while this will let me change between the audio tracks by right clicking on the audio in the timeline, it doesn’t allow me to bring all four audio tracks onto the timeline simultaneously. Is this a setting problem or are you simply not able to do this with AVID?

Many Thanks,
Aoife

Hi Andrew,

Apologies- I was a bit confused. The clips I’m working with were auto-synced and then grouped. I’ve tried cutting in a clip with the camera audio and then the same segment with the external audio, but they both seem to want to go to Audio tracks 1&2 and so overwrite each other. Could this be what the problem is?

Thanks,
Aoife
