“Once you do that, you have a clip with both the audio from the camera, and the new audio. Once you have that, then you have to MANUALLY go through the cut, find the in points for each clip, load the MERGED CLIP into the Viewer, mark IN at the same point, then replace.”

Yep, that’s what I’m gonna do now. But still, this will probably be faster than connecting the audio to each scene that was shot.
I didn’t know that it was called ‘merge clips’ as I don’t have the English version.

Thanks for your time Shane!

Thanks for your answers,

I know my workflow wasn’t the right one and I definitely learned a lesson..
Let me just explain the problem again:
The film was shot by some students, so they had a lot of takes for each scene (sometimes over 10).
They gave me the footage split up into different *.mov clips take by take with camera audio. And they also gave me extra audio files, recorded externally, but not linked to the video files. I thought I’d save a lot of time if I wouldn’t link the audio files to every single video file in advance, because there were so many of them and I’d use only one or two takes of every scene.
I really thought this wouldn’t be any problem afterwards. Just open the clips that I used in the timeline, go to the slate clap, mark the in point, open the audio file, mark the in point, mix them together and replace the clip in the timeline by the new one. But unfortunately it is a problem (Is there really no way to copy in and out markers from one clip to another clip of the exact same length?? I can’t believe that..).

Anyway, thanks again for your answers. Maybe my description is not so good, as I’m not a native english speaker. Sorry for that.

Cheers

Hi Mike,

thanks for your answer!
Reshooting unfortunately isn’t possible so I might check if it’s ok if I just add that blur layer you mentioned. It really is a hassle to try to make it look like a plain t-shirt…

Cheers Andreas

Anyone some hints how to do it? Here’s another example:

It’s just about the first few seconds, how to create that strokes.

Thank you,

Hi Peter,
thanks for your response!
I don’t necessarily need the dancing letters, but I’ll definitely try to work it out in my process of learning, so thanks for your advice!
Now let’s talk about the uninteresting, plain and silmple part. 🙂
How do I create these different animated backgrounds between seconds 2 and 10?
The color strokes right at the beginning, the blue graphics right after that on the top or the blue background? I think I could work that out somehow, but what would be a quick and easy way to do it? What is done in AE and what in PS (I’m quite advanced in PS, so that shouldn’t be a problem)?
Would be great if you could help me, thanks a lot!
Cheers Andy
