multicam issues
Hi,
I am editing a tv show shot using 14 cams. 5 of these cams are tc linked and continuously recording, so I have no problems to group them.
BUT… I also have different mini dv cams that are not synced, and not continuous, so i have to add them manually onto new video tracks on my timeline. By the way, my grouped clip is on v1.
Is there a way to merge these extra tracks into my group track? Or create a new group that consists of my first group and the upper layers?
Thanks
Emre

If i understand this right.
Could you not use in-point markers.
Find exactly the same point in ever video (easy for the time code ones) mark an in-pont and group that way.
There is no quick way as you will have to find the exactly point in every camera. -
Of course it would be great to use in points, only if i had all footage CONTINUOUS. My synced 5 cams, let’s say were recorded for about 100 minutes continuously. But the dv’s are like 20 or 30 clips per camera within that 100 mins. 🙁 And mixdown for all the 9 dv cams is huge pain and loss of time. I need some easy solution(if there is such a thing) other than oldschool mixdown.

There is no way to do what you want.
Multicam is designed to work with continuous recordings.

I believe it is time Avid makes a change about it.
