Multicam lost pic sync

[Dave Brandt]

Hi John,
Sadly there is no way to ‘split’ Multicam tracks apart once the multicam track has been created. For the future, before you make a multitrack, Select all the video tracks as usual, but instead of going straight to ‘creat multicamera track’ duplicate the tracks first, then create multicamera track. You can then mute all the original video tracks and place them down the bottom of your project, then if you notice something out of sync later on you can just go to the original out of sync track, nudge it into sync, all the angles selected from this track in the multicam edit will go pink (Out of sync) you can then select all the pink clips and resync by slipping.

In your situation you can still do a similar thing:

In your multicam track grab one of the out of sync clips and ctrl drag to a new track directly below. Extend the clip to its boundaries, then nudge it left or right to resync. You should notice all those angles in the multicamera track go pink (out of sync)

To select all pink clips the easy way heres how.
1. Lock the clip you have just resynced,
2. right click it and choose ‘select in project media’
3. right click the clip in project media and choose ‘select timeline events’
4 right click on any one of the pink clips now selected in the multicam track and choose ‘syncronize by slipping’

that should be it

Hope that helps

Dave

Hi Dave,

I couldn’t figure out your instructions. So what I did was set up new tracks of the out-of-sync part of the multicam then sync’d them up then just created another multicam track. But this time I made the duplicate tracks that you had suggested; so I’ve got it fixed–for the moment! Thanks

As always thanks so much to you guys…Johnny In Orlando
