Seperate system audio – project problems.
Hello everyone.
I’m a novice in Adobe PRemiere, and I’m working on a trial copy of Premiere pro until my film school gets back in session. I’m trying to create a rough cut of my senior thesis in order to resume photograpghy next quarter with a fresh plan.
What’s kicking me is that my project is 100% second system audio, so I have a LOT of shots, with alot of takes, which need to be synced up.
The only way I know to do this in premiere is to create a sequence for each take and use that sequence instead of the clips. This is feeling very clunky, so I’m hoping I’m doing something wrong and you guys can help me figure this out.
Creating sequences for each take is taking up too much time, as is the fact that once I accomplish this, I’m going to have lots of sequences instead of lots of clips. The first problem there is that when I click on a sequence it opens a timeline instead of going into the source window where raw footage belongs. I’m sure as I proceed there will be more clunky problems so, I’m hoping someone here will tell me how to attach my audio files directly to the R3D files I got off the camera.
Then I could have linked audio and video instead of hundreds of sequences to work with.

Does “Plural Eyes” work w/ APP?
Do you have a scratch track recorded with the clip?
Line up ALL the clips in one Sequence.
Lay the good audio underneath, look @ waveformsChris Tompkins

I’m downloading plural eyes now. That said, I think the button I was looking for was “Merge clips.”

Yes, but be very careful with merge clips. Under the right circumstances, it will delete your second track of audio. Oddly, this only occurs after you merge the clip, put it in the timeline, then close and reopen premiere.
It has to do with the way merge clips handles stereo and mono. Basically, you want a stereo source and it will split it into mono tracks. If you try to merge clips that are in mono, you end up in trouble.
