Dear Suley,
Audio is a key aspect of production and get it done properly is as important as your picture. I had worked with zooms and never had corrupt files, but yes, it happens, and it can ruin your entire day of work.
My advice is that you consider a strong audio recorder because if we are willing to spend a lot on cameras why not spend a little more in audio gear.
I understand you work for a non-profit but something the cheap solutions will be terrible in the long run because you can’t trust them, and is awful to finish your interviews and realize in post that your audio isn’t usable.
Here is a good article on audio equipment, it might be a little out of your budget but please, take a look at it. I’m sure it will help.Best luck.

Hi Terry.
The key thing here is that you learn to never put your scratch disc and/or footage on the C drive. Always put the files in a different hard drive.
Now to fix the problem this time just right clic the first clip and select reconnect. Then find the footage and if all the footage is in the same folder it won’t be hard.
Let me know if it works.

If you go to Window>Reference Monitor or Window>Workspace>Color Correction you will get extra windows to monitor the different clips.
Tip: What I usually do is go to the main timeline where you synced your cameras and do the color work one track at the time. Lets say you set your color for camera #1, and then get the rest to look like that one.
After you do this you can change specific clips in your final edited timeline and using adjustments layers could be useful for that.
If you have any other question let me know. I would like to help.

I think the biggest selling point for anyone is the suite integration. The fact that I can right clic on a clip, send it to AE comp and have the change updating in my Pr timeline is the easiest FX workflow I have seen.
Deciding wich NLE is better is another long conversation, and at the end of the day not everybody will agree but that’s life.Thanks for your feedback Mr. Johnston.

I’m sorry Richard, but I have to disagree on that. I have been cutting multi cam events in Premiere for over 5 years and there is nothing wrong with it. You just have to get used to it. I don’t understand what do you mean with staking up layers and resizing. Why would you need to do that?
Also, If you have the multi cam window open, you can select the clip and hit the number of the angle, as simple has that.
Please, give it another chance, I tried doing multi cam in FCP 7 and it was a nightmare.Axel Arzola

Mathew, as you say when referring of RED: “RED themselves say that their files are “visually lossless” but make no mistake that REDCODE RAW is a lossy compression.”
In my opinion, if we can not see visually the effects of a poor compression, then that’s is the perfect codec and will make life easier.
I know that RED r3d won’t be super easy to handle, but I’m sure Black Magic will figure out a way of improving their raw workflow soon.
Right now what I’m looking forward is to have both cameras to start testing and trouble shooting.Thanks a lot for your help!!!! is really good to have this forum to share with professional!!!

I remember selecting everything to the left on CS 5, but now on CS6 I can’t find the way of doing it. I even checked on the Adobe Premiere book and nothing.

I think there is a “Reveal in Finder” option if you right clic the clip on the project window.

The quality of the grade comes with the original file you get from the camera. Converting to DNxHD codec is only to give your AVID something easier to handle, but the quality will never be increased by the transcoding you do.
If your computer can handle the h264 files from the 5D without getting too slow, then you don’t even need to transcode anything.Axel Arzola
