  • Replacing Multicam Clip

    Posted by Eric Stishan on December 28, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    I have a 2 camera interview that I edited in the multicam editor with my boss. He made all the edits he wanted to but the audio sync did not work right the first time. The clips were not matched up so right now my timeline just has the 1 angle.

    I deleted the pointless angles and made a new multicam clip which is properly sync’d. However it doesn’t have edits made in the previous multicam clip.

    Is there a way to copy the edits from unusable multicam clip (clip A) to usuable multicam clip (clip B)?

    I don’t think it is possible to straight copy and paste the edit points into a new multiclip Eric. I would conform your original edit, export it out and re import as a new clip. Then I would add this “new” angle to the multiclip and use it as a visual reference to play along the other angles and give you visual reference for the edit points in the second multiclip.

    I would have saved the original multicam clip by double-clicking on the listed original clip and then slipping the audio angle into sync. If the audio is close to sync (but not IN sync) then highlight the audio and slide it using the period and comma keys (depending on direction). You can do this while the clip is playing so you can easily hear your progress.
