Music Video… is there any way to use multiple synchronized clips?

I have original accusation footage for a music video that consists of a guitar player listening to a pre-recored song on a boom box while the video camera picked up the wild sound of the guitarist and the pre-recored sound track. There are probably 30 takes of the complete song plus cutaways.

The original tape had take after take on it. So I brought the footage in as a New Event and cut the first take and saved it as a 422 pro res .mov then the second and so on.

I then deleted the original footage with multiple takes from the Event and imported the newly made clips and the pre-recorded master .wav file.

I then selected live take 1 and the music master and synchronized them… sweet… and then proceeded to do the second take and the third.

I then tried to get them to play together in the timeline without any luck. I then found this post and saw comments concerning the music master needing to be the main clip in the storyline but that defeats pre-synching the individual clips to the music master as they do not lock up with the main music clip in the storyline.

Any idea how multiple takes of a music video can be synched up and then married to one another and the master music clip other than sliding then around the old fashioned way?

Not sure if this will help…

Be sure to first delete any existing attributes from the clip before pasting attributes. When you paste clip attributes they are added to any existing attributes that were applied to the clip previously which can create unintended results… or as in my case a cool effect that I would never have come up.

Some of my best creative ideas have come from my mistakes.
