Picking soundtrack in Multicam

[Tim Vaughan]

I prefer to create/build a mutli track on 1 sequence, then always keep that build sequence in file. Once built, I create a new sequence and then copy all the audio tracks from the clips from the multiclip build sequence and place then into the new sequence. From there, you can turn off the audio cuts via the edit? menu (or off the browser window)–by selecting video only. (I don’t have it open, am doing it from memory)
Now you cut only the video track and have all your audio on the sequence to do with as you please. But this is only me personal way of doing it…. Hope this helps

Thank you Tim,

I did end up doing that myself and it seems to work fine (even though you have to sync twice, once for the multicams and againf or the sourse sound).

I thought I heard or read somewhere that you could pick one track from the individual traks of a multicam sequence which would be helpful just to get an even sound reference (I was cutting a wedding ceremony and was intercutting from one location to the other but it was difficult to get a sence of the scenes being the same time with isolated sounds. It all comes together when you sync in all the cameras’ sound later but it would be a nice reference to have while editing. Actually I noticed I had a few second drift also in the multicam sequence which is a drag. For some reason the sound track had a 97% speed (no idea why).

Again many thanks for your feedback.

Warmest,

Kevin
