    Is it possible to ‘auto align’ clips by timecode on the timeline before starting the multicam editing?

    I shoot a lot of weddings, and either have to double my footage of the day by shooting 2 cams non stop,or sit down and manually align every seperate clip. (not going to happen).

    Thanks

    Before you nest your Source Multi-Cam sequence you can use the Alignment tools to line everything up AND timecode is just one method of alignment. The other methods are auto align at In Point, Out Point, Numbered Marker and Timecode.
    The workflow would be to first align the material, then nest it and activate it as a MultiCam Sequence.

    So, I can keep one camera rolling, and start and stop the second one as many times as I want, import both into premiere and set it up to automatically align everything based on the time?

    Yes,
    you will just need to razor the start and stop camera so it can be spread across the main camera in the timeline. If you assign a new Numbered Marker for each sync point that the two clips share, you can sync each short clip to different sections of the long clip.

    So if I cut a sequence using multicam feature in PPro 2.0, can I generate
    a EDL to take to a online conform or DaVinci session easily? Will it be
    a proper EDL that could be conformed? I ask ’cause it looks as if each
    camera ends up in a sequence of it’s own? Or maybe I just don’t understand.

    Thanks!
