how can I make 1 clip in project Panel?

[Steve Crook jr]

I do this a lot with Premiere with my video cam and Hero3 footage. The steps I use (some will be redundant for you, but bear with me 🙂 ).

1. Import the files into Premiere, usually 2-3 .mts or .mp4 files (I cannot get the AVCHD files to ingest properly, so I’ve given up – combining the .mts files is good enough for what I do with the church.)

2. Move the ingested files into a bin for organization. (Cam Source or Hero Source, in my case.)

3. Select the media source files and drag them to the create new sequence icon at the bottom of the project panel (next to the trash can).

So, now we have a sequence with all the clips in order, but this still isn’t what either of us need. 🙂

4. In the project panel, drag the SEQUENCE you just made to the create new sequence icon (the same one you used before).

NOW you have a sequence with all your clips “combined” into one. But it is named the same as the other sequence, so rename one – I rename the first (Cam Clips or Hero Clips). further, I clean up from here by moving the “Clips” sequence into the proper “Source” bin.

I use this for aligning my three recordings of an event: Cam, Hero, and audio through a Tascam recorder hooked up to a mixing board.

Hope it helped you!

Thanks steve
I want to use Multi-camera. But the problem is I have lots of footage from the two cameras { XDCAME EX3 }. I got to sink their in timeline and I want one clip from each camera in the Project window for create multi-camera source sequence

Well, it sounds like the instructions I gave will do the trick for you. That is what I do for my multi-cams.

One additional trick I use is to have Premiere sync the audio for me (CC latest update: Select two audio tracks [alt-click audio of an a/v locked track] > right click > synchronize > audio), then I realign the video for the audio track that was moved. 🙂

Tada! Fully synchronized A/V from multiple cameras & audio recordings.

Good luck!
