Multicam Audio Sync Open in Timeline

Hi everyone. I will try to keep this simple.
I have a 2 camera setup, each with audio plus one external audio track. (3 total audio tracks)
When I create a multicam source sequence I sync via audio. I then open the source sequence in the timeline to make sync adjustments. However, it only plays back audio from Track 1. When I place this source sequence on a multicam Target sequence, I get all of the audio tracks to play.
My question is "Can I not get all of the audio tracks to play when I click "Open in Timeline"?"
I've been reading on this all day and can't seem to get anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

If you want all audio at once, after you multi cam audio, you'll have to alt\opt+leftclick+drag the audio down below the master to duplicate it (do this once for every Camera).  You then do the alt\opt+rightclick, go to multi cam and select a different camera for each of the tracks.  Now all audio will play.
NOTE: With one track you can cut through with razor, and switch cams where you cut.  If you cut your multi cam the automatic style, cuts will be made in audio track as well, that line up with video switch.  You can adjust these edit marks to your desire the same way you would when using trim or roll, and you could switch Cameras from the alt\opt+rightclick menu.  Using automatic mode to cut video, you will cut all LINKED audio at the same point.  You can apply this to multiple tracks by linking them all to the video track before you start your camswitching.  Afterward, you could adjust, delete, trim, roll and switch through your audio to your hearts content.

  • Premiere CC Multicam Audio sync

    New user of Pr CC with limited previous editing experience.  Attempting to audio sync 2 clips that I have edited to the same time frame.  It is mainly talking.  When I try to sync using the audio function camera 2 is about 5 seconds behind c1.  When I attempt to mark the clips to the correct visual spot the marked clip options is not selectable.
    Could someone point me in the correct direction to enable the audio sync to work right or to be able to select the marked sync function.  Would it work to put a distinct noise in the audio at the correct location?
    My head is getting sore from the various ways I have tried.
    Thanks

    Hi flyboymowry,
    Sometimes syncing via audio doesn't always work, so you can sync clips by marking In, Out, or by using markers. More here: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/editing-multi-camera-sequences1.html#id_78669

  • Multicam Audio Sync Premiere CC MXF clips fails everytime!

    Hi,
    Premiere CC cannot audio sync MXF clips (from two Canon XF100s).  It fails everytime and just places all clips concurrently from their start.  No syncing occurs.
    Is this a known bug?
    Michael

    Hi Kevin,
    Unfortunately, no audio syncing occurred with multi-cam on 2 different formats (MPG and MP4). I did find out how to view the multi-cam sequence though.... You need to have the track with the multi-cam sequence selected.  If it's not selected, the preview window is blank.
    But Premiere still can't sync audio with all formats I've tried.

  • Ineffective Multicam Audio Sync in PPro CC (PluralEyes wins every time)

    I was excited to try the multicam sync using audio in Premiere CC but unfortunately I've found that it has very limited success. I regularly run shoots of 4 cameras with each having several clips, and when I try to sync them in Premiere only a few actually get syncronized. PluralEyes still does a markedly better job and sync all the clips, not just a few. Any tips or tricks I'm missing?

    For starters, PP will only sync one clip per track, so if you wish to use this feature, you'll need to shoot continuously, no stopping until the event is over.
    Secondly, the feature doesn't seem to work very well (at all?) when including a separate audio track in the mix, so use video clips only.
    Thirdly, it is a new feature for Premiere Pro, and will likely get better over time.

  • Multicam audio sync problem

    I have three MiniDV tapes that I put together into a multicam shot. About 15 minutes into the video the audio slips - it begins to lag behind the video. I am only using one of the audio lines. The video and the audio appear to be in sync for the entire hour of the multicam shots in clip window. I tried taking 15 minutes as one clip, then another 15 minutes, and so to let it resync, but it starts slipping right away.
    Any suggestions?

    When using the multicam, any recommendations on keeping the audio lined up with the video? Would it help to separate the audio from the video and mute the multicam?

  • Audio Sync Problem after transitions/filters applied to timeline in FCP

    I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on a MAC Pro. I installed 2 Maxtor SATA II 200gig drives and created a striped RAID. I want to be clear about audio sync issues. I have my easy setup/properties....all those settings set to DV NTSC and I am monitoring out from my DV Deck via firewire, not the audio from the computer.
    After capturing the clip(s) I assemble them onto the timeline, add a few transitions or filters. The audio shifts off a lot. More everytime I add or do more with the clip. After rendering more, the audio shifts more. All scratch disks, rendered clips points to the Video Drive (striped RAID) I've setup. I'm not new to video editing but new to a MAC. Yes, I am a PC guy. I work with Premiere Pro 1.5. I am pleased so far making the switch, just need to fix this audio issue.
    All properties of the audio clip are correct, DV NTSC properties - 48K etc. This particular capture I made with 2 channel mono clips instead of a single DV stereo stream, simply because I have a split audio on the production tape and would like to take advantage of working with two seperate mono audio files. When I trim, I make sure the audio stays with the video but it appears that when I do trim, add a transition or filter, that's when the audio goes out of sync. No indication with a ("- #")on the icon. The clips which I captured are less than a minute long. Used for testing in these new learning stages.
    Questions:
    1. I created a striped RAID with the 2 Maxtor drives, I used MAC OS Extended (Journaled) with 256k Raid Block size. Is this correct?
    2. Would the audio captured in 2 channel mono affect the sync? (assuming you don't shift it manually on the timeline)
    3. What other MAC settings should I do to the system that will result in better preformances?
    4. What settings should I set in FCP for better performance results?
    MAC Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCP Studio
    MAC Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCP Studio
    MAC Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCP Studio

    hi vcp
    welcome to the forum, glad you made the switch ... you won't be sorry (although you might be wondering at the moment!)
    1. nothing wring with that
    2. no
    3. just don't install 3rd party crap you don't need ... and don't install any anti-vrus software
    4. no special settings required
    what camera did you capture from? did you capture with FCP?
    cheers

  • Loss of audio panning effects with timeline audio of Sync type "Stream"

    I have a Flash animation which is loaded into a parent master Flash file. In the animation, there is voice audio embedded in the timeline which is synced with a character animation. The Sync type of the audio is set to Stream, which is essential for the mouth movements to match the audio. When I try to pan the voice audio so that it comes only out of the right speaker, it sounds fine during preview playback, but after publishing, all of the panning effects are lost. If I change the Sync type to "Event" or "Start", the panning effects work fine, but the audio is terribly out of sync with the animation.
    The source audio is a mono audio file. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I've tried changing the publish settings for both the parent and the child animation Flash files to be Speech, Mp3 mono, Mp3 Stereo and just about every other option, with no desirable results. I have also tried publishing and running the animation without loading it through the parent file, also no results.
    Is there some kind of rule in Flash about Stream versus Event audio and panning? Do I need to use a stereo audio source file? I don't currently have access to the original audio files, but I can get them. Are all Stream type sounds automatically converted to mono at runtime or something??
    Thank you thank you thank you

    According to the Adobe installation information the trial version of Premiere Elements 11 is fully functional and the watermark is only present until a licence code is purchased.
    I have edited AVI footage from a camcorder using the program with no problems (and no loss of audio sync) and the watermark is also present with this.
    The odd placement of audio and video was caused by my not dragging the clip carefully enough.
    What is odd is that the clip plays completely normally using WIndows Media Player and VLC Media player so I would expect Premiere Elements to be able to handle it without problems.
    I think that there is some sort of bug in Premiere Elements' handling of mpe4 files (both in versions 10 and 11) rather than there being anything wrong with my computer.
    Is there some way of communicating this directly to the Adobe programers ?
    I enclose screenshots of the project settings:

  • Can't turn mp3 audio sync from event to stream on timeline

    I've imported an mp3 to Flash CC and put it on the timeline. The audio sync in the properties only allows 'event'. I need it to be stream so I can scrub sound. Any help greatly appreciated.

    html5/canvas only supports the event sync property.

  • Export as QuickTime Movie - lose audio sync

    I have a 10 minute project that basically is a sequence of 10 nested sequences. It is an HDV project. I need to export it as a QuickTime Movie to maintain the ability to show it in HD. When I do so (using Export->QuickTime Movie - I am not using "Using QuickTime Conversion"), I maintain "Current Settings". The resulting .mov file, when played back in QuickTime Player (or anything else) has a progressively severe loss of audio sync. This is not present when playing the project within the timeline in FCP (6.0.3).
    I have tried opening the project on a different computer with a virgin version of FCP 6.0.3, with the same results. I also made sure to render the individual sequences as well as the master sequence. I created a new sequence and added the individual chapters again, with the same result. I tried using the Media Manager to bring the project over to another computer - same problem. I also took this to an Apple One-to-One class with a FCP expert who couldn't figure it out either.
    I could really use some help here.

    First of all, thank you for responding.
    I don't have a capture delay. The audio rate is 48 khz.
    Interestingly, I had previously tried the separate export and stitching you suggested, but a strange thing occurred. If the resulting quicktime movie was created through a Save As... command, you wind up with a self-contained movie. When I did that, I started to get weird audio repetitions or dropouts as the movie went on. On the other hand, if I left it a reference movie, this didn't happen.
    Anyway, this is a workaround, but it means that the whole thing has to be done over every time I make any change at all, and I am also concerned about getting rid of this problem for the future.
    Any other thoughts?

  • What is the "Open in Timeline" command used for?

    If you select a clip in the Event browsers and select the "Open in Timeline" menu command the clip opens in it's own Timeline. However, I have know idea what this is used for. I searched FCP X help for  "Open in Timeline" and got no hits. I search the Internet too but only got hits warning about edits done in this Timeline will destroy the original media (ouch!, what about non destructive). Can anyone give me some help on what this command is used for or point me to somewhere that does describe this command in detail?
    Thanks

    Generally speaking, I'd say using compound clips in the Event Browser is not usually the best way to go, unless you are using them for video/audio sync purposes. However, they certainly can be helpful for certain workflows as long as you understand the plusses/minuses.
    To create an empty compound clip, select the event and do the "Create New Compound Clip" command (command-G). An empty compound clip is a compound clip you can subsequently paste things into -- to do that, you would select the clip and do the "Open in Timeline" command. I suppose this would let you reuse a compound clip more easily across projects, if you so desire.
    Compound Clips in the Event Browser are most akin to subclips in FCP7, especially if you create them using a range selection from another clip. For example, set an in and out point within a clip, then "Create New Compound Clip" (option-G). You will be prompted for a name, and then a new clip will appear in the Event Browser with that name. It will be just like any other clip except it only will give you access to the media between the in/out points you set.
    Personally, I tried using this method for one project but found some drawbacks. While it lets you give unique names to (sub)clips, once in the timeline, you have no handles for the media; to get them back (e.g., remove subclip limits) you need to break apart the clip, which loses the name you might have assigned. Using compound clips also limits your ability to use match frame (shift-F) for that clip. Finally, even though it seems like a subclip, FCPX maintains no internal relationship between the subclip and the clip it was created from. So there is no master/affiliate relationship in the same sense that FCP7 had.
    Now I try only using keywords; for example, you could use the keyword "subclip" or "scene" to help break apart a longer clip into shorter ones, which you can then navigate by selecting the keyword and/or setting up smart collections containing that keyword.

  • Feature Request:  Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

    Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence?  I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature.  The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it.  But the benefit is entirely lost on me. 
    In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else.  I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
    Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere.  Note:  Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two.  Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence). 
    Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep.  But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc).  Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point.  After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit.  If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
    I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit.  And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance.  This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline!  It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
    Does anyone else feel the same?  If not, what is your workflow?
    Feature Summary:  Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
    I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature. 

    Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement  and use of a 3rd party application that  runs you into an issue.
    Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else.  Find footage in the Media Browser.  Import it.  Create a Sequence and start editing.  Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline. 
    At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline.  The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip.  This works, but requires many steps per clip.  Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable. 
    Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
    I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
    Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio.  Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate.  This is not something Pluraleyes imposes.  It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines.  This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
    In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track."  Ideal?  No.  I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
    What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
    Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work.  Period.

  • HP Mediasmart TV recordings lose audio sync

    I have a HP Dv5 1235dx laptop and I am using a Kworld UB435-Q usb tv tuner stick to watch and record free over-the-air hdtv.
    My issue is that when I record a program with HP Mediasmart TV the audio loses sync with the video. It starts out ok, but gradually goes out of sync the longer you record, so that by the end of an hour long show the audio is about 2 seconds off which is extremely distracting bordering on unwatchable. I can record programs with Windows Media Center and it has no audio sync problems, but WMC doesn't pick up all the channels and doesn't have as nice of an interface and program guide as HP Mediasmart TV. 
    Does anyone else have this issue, or know of a fix for this? I've also noticed that the recording quality options are greyed out in the settings menu, so its not like I can even try a lower quality setting to see if it makes a difference.

    I just discovered the same problem.
    I have an HP dv8t running Win 7 64-bit.  Last night I recorded about 2 hours  of a football game.  When I watched it later the video and audio gradually moved farther & farther out of sync.  On a football game, you rarely see people's lips when they are talking anyway.  It did seem like the announcers were slow to react, though!  If it was a regular TV show or a movie, I could not have watched it at all.
    Another strange occurrence -- I first replayed the recorded video in HP's Mediasmart player.  After about 45 min. the video started getting choppy.  The audio remained smooth, but it seemed like the video was dropping frames.  It got worse and worse until we were seeing 1 second (or more) jumps in video.  I shut down HP's player and opened the video in Windows Media Player.  It played fine -- at least the video did not skip.  The audio was still out of sync by a second or two.

  • Unable to Switch Audio Sync Settings

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to create an animation based off of a 5-minute mp3 audio recording. I need to be able to switch my audio sync settings to Stream so that I can preview audio anywhere in my animation. Currently if I press play just anywhere in the animation it doesn't play the audio. I have to play from the beginning to hear.
    After doing some searching on the Internet, I figured out I have to switch my audio sync setting to Stream so that I can play audio anywhere in the timeline. However, the only option I have available is Event. The other ones are greyed out, as the screenshots below testify. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The first the thing a person should always do when they encounter a problem is restart their computer. No worries, I did that.
    I tried converting the file to OGG and WAV to see if it would work better. Apparently Flash Professional handles WAV fine, allowing me to switch between Stream and Event audio sync settings. That's kind of strange, because WAV files are so huge and aren't practical when developing a game or something like that.
    Thankfully, I'm just using Flash Professional to export a video, so I don't care about file size, but it's a disturbing bug.
    If anyone knows why I was unable to switch to Stream audio sync settings with MP3 files, please speak up.

  • I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline.  You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done. 
    If the clip was already in the timeline when you  opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip.  You don't drag it back to the timeline.
    You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
    Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect.  But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering.  One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.
