Multiclip Questions
I am editing a piece in which there were 3 cameras shooting a fashion show. 1 camera stays rolling the entire time, and the other 2 drop out and come back in a few times. I have all of my clips layed out in the time line and synced up to the frame, unfortunately the time-code was off by a few seconds so I had to sync up each clip in the time line visually. So now I have about 7 total clips and I am trying to figure out the best way not using time code to set up a multiclip with these clips that are organized in the time line. I have researched all day but not found a good answer to what I am trying to do. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Thank you!!

You can nest the tracks as independent sequences. Or you can fill the gaps in them with slugs and export it as a self-contained movie, reimport it.
But consider how we did these things in the olden days, before multiclip. You just hack away at it. For instance, you should be able to tell which shots you are going to use/not use at any given point in time so you can razorblade and delete thoer two tracks. If you change your mind, you can always pull out one of the other tracks. The trick to useing the razorblade is to make sure you don’t move the clips up or down the timeline.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Thanks for the nesting idea, for some reason I never thought to do that. I know all to well the old fashion way of chopping away at it. I just finished up a shorter piece of the same thing done that way, and this project is a beast so I want to take any shortcut to make it a little easier on myself as possible haha. Thanks again!!
