  • How to add newly imported audio – as a new storyline/angle to existing multi cam Project??

    Posted by Babylon Slim on December 18, 2013 at 1:03 am

    I have a 6 camera multi cam Music Video Project I have been working on in depth for 5 days. The “band” has sent me a new & improved .wav file to replace the audio I have been working with on one “song”. I have imported it into the event, cannot figure out how to add it as a new angle (that I will manually sync on the timeline) and then make it the active audio monitor angle. I see ways to “connect it” but not how to have it appear in the 6up display & on its own story/time line in the precision editor. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am losing mu mind. Please help?

    You can manually add an angle in the Angle editor, sync it up (manually or automatically) and then set that as your new default angle. I think you’ll still need to go back to your project and set the audio angle to the new one though.

    Alternatively, you could just add it as a track connected to your project and turn off the sound in the multi-track clip.

    Thanks, How do I manually add a new angle? I have tried selecting it, dragging, etc. I am still stumped. Can you explain it as if I was a child?

    In the angle editor, you should see a downward pointing triangle next to the angle name. Select that, then choose add new angle (amongst other nifty options that menus gives you).
