If the cameras are genlocked together the files should have identical timecodes running so you can sync with the timecode embedded in the file.

Not true if one cam ran the whole time and one cam was start and stop as indicated in the original post. This is why I asked about “Time of Day” time-code which is what you should use in this case.

Thanks, I do have Time of the day, sorry about that. Please can you tell how to operate these tasks, sync with time code,

best regards

Find the same time on each and line em up.
You find it easier to put ALL clips in the sequence to start.
Track 1 the continuous footage.
Track 2 the multi clips from start/stop.
Line up the time-codes on all clips.

Then, slice and dice for your edit.

There’s a better answer. As long as your cameras have synched timecode, all you have to do is highlight all the source clips you want synched in the project window (there’s no apparent limit to the number of clips you can select), right click, and then choose “Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence”. Pick “timecode”, click OK, and then you’ll have yourself a new multi-camera source clip. Drag that clip into your timeline, highlight it, then choose WIndow > Multi-Camera Monitor. Now as you play the clip in this new window, you can click back and forth between the video windows and it ought to change the “cuts” in your multi-camera clip when you’re done. Now you can close the Multi-Camera Monitor window and adjust the cuts you made on the normal timeline.
