How to sync tracks by TimeCode in sequence

Hi have several dozen clips from two cameras. I want to drag all of camera A into one Track, and all of camera B into another track. A multi-camera sequence would be fine, but unfortunately it ends up treating each clip as a separate track and I want Cam-A as Track 1 and Cam-B as track two so that ultimately I'm only having to deal with TWO cameras. I also need to sync by TimeCode when I add them to the sequence.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Note: I'm using CS6. This process may be different in CS or other versions.
As long as you have the same time code on all your footage you can sync by doing the following:
SELECT ALL clips you wish to sync from your Project Tab/Window.
RIGHT-CLICK and SELECT "Create Multi-camera Source Sequence..." In CS6 it is the next-to-last option in your popup window.
A dialogue box will appear. For the Synchronize Point, SELECT the box that says "Timecode" and UN-CHECK "Ignore Hours"
You will now see a new multi-cam sequence in your Project Tab/Window.
RIGHT-CLICKyour new multi-cam sequence and SELECT "Open in Timeline"
You will now see a sequence with all your footage synced by time code. Unfortunately in CS6 it creates a separate track for each clip, which can be a mess if you have hundreds of clips. The best way I have found to make things easier is to create a separate TC synced multi-cam sequence for each individual cameras footage.  For example, I follow the steps above for each of my cameras footage independently so that I have a TC synced sequence for camera A, a TC sequence for camera B, etc. Then you can select all the footage of each sequence, nest it, and copy each nest into a master sequence to work with. What you end up with is a single clip for each camera.  To keep track of where clips start and/or end in the nested sequences you can go into your original sequence and place a marker (shortcut "M") at each clip. These markers then show up in your Mastertimeline clips for reference.
I know things could be easier, but this proves to you that it IS possible to get PPro to automatically sync clips based on TC.
Hope that helps!

  • How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.

    Hi,
    How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.
    I have a BSP Page A.htm. There are two other pages B.HTM and C.HTM in the same BSP Application.
    The page B.HTM has a link A.HTM. The page C.HTM also has a link A.HTM. On clicking  these links the Page A.HTM would be invoked. Is there any way to keep track which BSP Page  (i.e B.HTM or C.HTM) invoked the page A.HTM.
    Any input on this Regard would be of great help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pavithra

    Hi Pavithra,
    Declare in page attributes:
    appl_url type string
    In the onClick event of the link that calls the A.htm page , use:
    call method runtime->get_url
    receiving
    URL = appl_url.
    Now appl_url contains the url (also name) of the page that invoked A.htm .
    Hope it helps.

  • How To Sync Multiple Timelines in Premiere Pro CS4?

    In After Effects, if you create one Comp by dragging another one onto the "New Composition" icon, the timelines of those two comps will be synced (IE: If I jog to 00;00;16;06 in Comp01 and I switch over to Comp02, it will automatically jump to 00;00;16;06 as well).
    How do I do this in Premiere Pro CS4? By default, it does not seem to sync up when I drag Sequence One into the timeline of Sequence Two. I have cuts done in the first Sequence that are important to elements I'll add in Sequence Two and I need to easily jump to those cuts.
    Thanks!

    Mmm, none of these are really emulating what I can get in AE. No matter what I do in Sequence One, it will not jump to the cuts I need in Sequence Two. However, I think the easiest way to do this is...
    Create markers at the cut points of Sequence One
    Open Sequence One in the Source Clip Window right next to the Monitor Window, which will have Sequence Two open
    Jump to the first marker in the Source Clip window, copy the time code of that marker and paste it into the timecode of the Monitor Window
    Cut at this point, wash, rinse, repeat...
    Having said this...this is a pain in the ***. I really wish Premiere was set up more like AE as this would have been more helpful I feel in Premiere as you'll be doing more editing here than in AE.
    Unless...I'm missing something? Just to give this one last shot (and to make sure I'm being as clear as possible). Is there a way to be navigating EXCLUSIVE in Sequence Two, via either keyboard shortcut or some type of button in a monitor window, to jump around to cut points that you made in Sequence One, WITHOUT having to jump back to that sequence?
    Here is the scenario I'm looking for: Sequence One has a cut at 00:00:02:00. I jump to that point in Sequence One. I click over to Sequence Two (which has Sequence One nested) and I click or hotkey to the same point in the timeline that 00:00:02:00 that Sequence One is currently setting at.
    The reason this is vitally important is that I'm going to remove the space between 00:00:02:00 and 00:00:03:00 and replace just that part with something else. Thus, these cut points are vitally important.
    Any thoughts?

  • Shot an Genesis HD Camera, now how to sync sound?

    Here's the situation:
    1. Shot on Genesis camera (looks great) which records onto HD-CAM SR stock.
    2. Audio mono mix on the tape's track 1.
    3. Audio timecode data on tape's track 2. This is time-of-day timecode that does not include the audio reel number.
    4. Master six channel audio "reels" are DVDs.
    Here's the problem:
    How do you turn that timecode data on track 2 into an EDL the sound dept. can use to rebuild from the sound reels?
    Much thanks to any insight on this. This problem is baffling a lot of folks, and the easy scapegoat is Final Cut. Personally, I think film production is turning at last into a video production and people are having a hard time accepting it.
    -tim

    First off, wow, you shot with the new Genesis? Very cool, how did you like it? What type of project did you shoot? Feature, commercial, documentary, etc...?
    As far as syncing your sound... Most high end productions that shoot HD also go into a telecine suite to transfer their circle takes and sync their sound. This also creates new HD masters because I would not suggest using your camera masters for anything else except an archive (like negatives).
    So one way to do it would be to go into a telecine suite at somewhere like Encore or Company 3 and have your dailies transferred with sync'd sound to new HDCam SR tapes and include a flex file in that order. This flex file is then input into cinema tools and final cut. Then when you create your EDL, you have all the numbers you need for sound and picture. And now you also have protection masters.
    Plaster City does not have telecine so they may not be able to help you with this process. But they may have some other way of bringing all this data together for you in a flex file or cinema tools database.

  • Multi cam shoot using  P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions

    multi cam shoot using P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions. We were using free TC. I want to a large # of clips from both cams. and have them move to the correct TC position on the timline. In Nuendo eith audio u hit apple a or ctrl a right click move to orgin. Avid will take care of it for u. FCP???

    If you read the "Apple Pro Training Sereis; Final Cut Pro 5" book, it's very easy. You can sync the clips manually by setting In or Out points, specifying TC, or using one of the two Aux TC fields. Since this is the first, and most basic step in doing Multiclip editing, I'd suggest you get the book, or read the appropriate section of the User Manual. I don't think anyone wants to post a full "how to" article in a forum.
    It can be done, you're clips have to all have been recorded with synced TC, or they simply won't sync up in any NLE. Read the book. Cause even if I did have the time to explain FCP's Multiclip editing in this forum, you'd still have questions that are in the book.
    If you actually walk through the first steps of building a Multiclip to edit, it's blatatnly obvious in the first step. I'd give it a try first.
    Problem is the DVCPRO-HD codec is going to require a higher end Mac with tons of RAM and either RAID, or internal drives to do a DVCPRO-HD Multiclip, as DVCPRO-HD (P2) is a pretty high bandwidth codec. I use it daily, I know, it takes horsepower to do.

  • How to sync Outlook (Exchange) with iCloud

    Hi there,
    I just want to share an approach that made my day.
    My objective: I want to have my contacts available on iCloud and all attached Macs.
    My issue: The primary source of information is my Exchange account so I have the data available on my iPhone but unfortunately not at home on my Macs.
    My painpoint: A clear segragation (private/business) is not an option for me (BTW: This is true for the calendar as well; if I am out of the office for some private reasons it does not make any sense to have such appointments entered in a different calendar because this would not reflect availability in the office).
    My approach: Look for a solution that allows copying data within Outlook locally. It seems that any "sync option" one is going to install within Outlook simply adds some new folders but actually there is nothing I would really call "syncing". So I did some research for tools that are capable of syncing Outlook folders within Outlook itself. Finally I found a company called CodeTwo (www.CodeTwo.com) offering an Outlook plug-in named "FolderSync" for free. I installed this tool and configured the tool to sync my (more or less) local contacts folder with my newly created iCloud contacts folder. And it seems to work!
    However, there are some drawbacks:
    The sync has to be kicked-off manually (via an icon that installs into the ribbon).
    There is no option to select either one-way or two-way syncing (it is always two-way which is not really what I want, I'd prefer one-way Exchange->iCloud).
    You can configure different folders to be synced (will be done in sequence) but you cannot change this sequence afterwards (I started off with the Exchange -> iCloud sync and wanted to add some backup to another local folder upfront if data gets accidentally destroyed in iCloud).
    If the tool runs into a MAPI error (happened several times for some mailing lists or weird contacts) it shows the error and stops (instead of caring on doing whatever can be done; BUT the good news is that if you restart the tool it will continue where it left off so it might take a while but after 5 to 6 times I had all my contacts in iCloud apart those that had issues).
    Anyhow you might check this out for calendars, too (I did this for a sample calendar but had really lots of MAPI errors that required a lot of restarts of the sync). Maybe this will work for Hotmail and other connectors supplied by Microsoft, too.
    Markus
    And - no - I am not affiliated to this company.

    Thank you for this info!
    I was trying to use an app (ContactsXL) that sets up groups for group messaging. I could not get it to work with Outlook contacts. In retrospect, there may have been a way to make it work and I was just doing something wrong. However, it started me thinking about how my Outlook is on my company laptop and how, if I ever leave this job, how will I take my contacts with me?
    My solution was to sync (or duplicate) all my contacts from Outlook to iCloud, but I could not figure out how to do it. Your suggestion of the Code Two FolderSync plug-in worked nicely. Now all my Outlook contacts also exist in iCloud and the plug-in keeps them up to date when I make changes.
    As to my original issue though, using ContactsXL to create text messaging (and/or email) groups.  It allows you to set up "smart" groups - like everyone whose Company is BMC or such. But when I created a group like this, now each contact that matches the criteria shows up twice! Assumedly one is from Outlook and the other is from iCloud. Fortunately the iPhone is smart enough to know not to send two text messages (or emails) when a contact is added twice, so no big deal.
    But thanks to the OP for the research and suggestions. If I quit my job tomorrow, at least I will take all my contacts with me.

  • When importing numerical in order tracks some tracks are out of sequence

    When I import into iTunes my accompaniment CDs which have multiple tracks in numerical order, some tracks are out of sequence in the "Date Added" sort order.  This has been happening for quite sometimes with different versions and even on different computers.  This has got to be an iTune software glitch. I can click on sort Album and its ok.

    >> If syncing from iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac then they should sync across in the same order as in those programs.<<
    But they don't sync in the same order - All the photos in the album on iPhoto are automatically sorted in date/time order, ascending.
    When I sync the album to the iPad, POOF!, suddenly they're all mixed up in no apparent order.
    It does not make any sense to me at all.

  • How to keep track of emails btn Blackberry & Outlook???

    Hi,
    I'm considering buying a Blackberry Curve (Sprint).  My hangup thus far is that I want to have all of my sent emails in my Outlook on my home computer.  My solution thus far has been to use GoToMyPC so that I can connect to my home PC from any computer and take care of my emails.  Also, I work mostly from home, so this isn't a huge problem in terms of convenience and efficiency. 
    Most people tell me that they CC themselves when they send an important email from their Blackberry.  This is how they keep track of important emails sent from their Blackberry.  IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?  A MORE RELIABLE WAY?  IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ALL EMAILS SYNC'D WITH OUTLOOK WHEN (THEORETICALLY) SYNCING MY BLACKBERRY WITH MY HOME COMPUTER?  IF NOT, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have two (2) EMails addresses; on is my blackberry address, and the other is my Outlook.  I mostly give out my Outlook address so I could have it on my PC at home, and when Isync it is there,. Or, in the field if I inadvertantly delete a message, I know it will still  be on my PC at Home. I think your friend is correct. If she has the Blackberry
    Enterprise System through her IT Dept. at work. I have the BIS (Blackberry Internet Service).
    I hope this helps. It is quite confusing

  • How to Sync Audio with a Multicam Clip?

    Hello,
    I have three cameras angles that I have synced up, but I can't figure out how to sync my separate audio track to my multi cam clip. Can somebody please advise me on this. Thank you!
    Trey

    Thanks Tom,
    Do you know the best way to set markers when using multi cam clips? Is it better to set the marker to one of the clips before creating the multi cam clip, or set them to the actual multi cam clip?
    Thank you!

  • How to sync 2 apple ids

    how to sync one apple id with another apple id?

    Everywhere you look people appear to think SYNC means merge, it mean sync - i.e. keep everything up to date in one place across your life.
    I don't think I am alone with having a personal and business i.d. - sensible, so you can keep track of personal and business but I cannot sync my contacts from the 2 accounts so that I have the same information across my work devises and home (and some that do both!)
    It is the weakest of all the apple management software (love the new calendar, though).
    Sorry, it appears to be an oversite by Apple that we don't all live in their singualr apple world.

  • How to modify audio output of my sequence

    Hi.  Let's say I have a sequence that has one video track and one mono audio track.
    1)  If the audio track is completely empty and I delete all empty tracks, Premiere refuses to delete Audio track 1.  How do I delete the audio track, such that my sequence has no audio at all?  So when I place the sequence in another timeline, it imports as video only.
    2)  How do I modify this mono track so that it's in stereo?  Presumably I'll have to decide how to split the mono signal into left/right too.
    TIA,
    Richard

    2)  How do I modify this mono track so that it's in stereo?  Presumably I'll have to decide how to split the mono signal into left/right too.
    Fill Left/Fill Right will get you two channels. By definition, it will NOT be "stereo," but will be two-channel mono - same exact signal in both channels. One can alter the spatial aspects in the sound stage, to simulate stereo a bit more, but it will still be two-channel mono.
    For # 1, srukweza has given you the easiest way to Mute Audio 1 - turn OFF that Track for Export, or go to Audio Mixer, and hit Mute.
    Good luck,
