    Hi all,

    i have a problem:
    i’ve started editing a multiclip sequence (a 2hour concert..)
    today, i got tapes from two additional cameras.
    well, no problem, i thought – i just have to ad the clips to
    my multiclip “source” in the viewer and all the edits in the timeline
    will have those two additional tracks…

    but that doesn’t work!
    i thought if i update the “source” file all of the snippets in the timeline would
    do so as well… but they don’t!

    WHY???

    pls don’t tell me that i have to start over editing with all the cameras
    added or drag the two new cameras to every single edit!!!

    HELP!!!

    thanx

    stefan

    > but that doesn’t work!< What happened, how do you know it doesn't work? How did you attempt this? > pls don’t tell me that i have to start over editing with all the cameras

Make a copy of your project. Start messing with the copy. I think you will be able to figure out a few cumbersome but realistic workarounds. This is the first time this question has come up that I can recall so I cannot suggest you search. We wish you luck and I hope you get better advice soon. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
