Multi-sequence multiclips?

[Jerry Hofmann]

I don’t quite understand what you are trying to do… if you’d explain it better? or maybe even give the reason for this?

Sequences cannot be incorporated into multiclips. You have to export and reimport as a stand-alone to make it part of the multiclip.

For those reading this thread and wondering why using sequence would be a useful thing in creating mutliclips:

1) staggered reel changes on long multicam shoots.
2) The stop/start in which time code is continuous but one wants to split the clip to resync.

Yes, I know there are work arounds but it would be much simpler to insert a slug for the missing video and keep the camera angle continuous.

Split the clip where it brakes and place it as another angle (makes it confusing for client watching and clutters screen).

Create sequence and export/reimport (but lose original time code).

Only do multiclip until a “break point” and then create another multiclip (breaks the fluidity of screening/editing).

I agree with you Craig. It’s actually something I think Lisa Brennais and I talked about to some Apple folks back at NAB.
