Sync and merge clips, proper ways and tips please

Hi
Im working on a indie feature and need help with sync and merging clips. So far from my trials Premiere doesn't really sync that well based on audio (plus it doesn't seem to sync more then one set of clips at a time), luckily I have Pluraleyes that syncs in a breeze so that's what I'm using. So, my questions:
1) How do I merge more then one set of clips simultaneously. Look at my timeline. This is from only 3 days of shooting (and we've shoot for 33 days). It will take me forever to merge these...
2) How do I merge clips so they end up in a specific bin in the project panel. Now when I do it the new merged clip ends up at root which is manageable but annoying.
Can someone confirm if this is actually how you work, very laborious or am I missing something?
Thanks!

I'm dealing with the same issue, and would love to know how you've solved this problem, assuming that you kept this same workflow going.

You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

Problem with Clip Usage and merged clips in CS6

The 'Clip Usage' drop-down menus don't seem to work in Premiere CS6 for merged clips. The info bar at the top of the project window correctly lists the number of times the viedo and audio from the clip has been used, and the downward-pointing arrow appears, but when you click on it... nothing happens. Same's true of the 'Video Usage' column in the main body of the project window. Non-merged clips work just fine.
Anyone know if this is just a problem with my project, or if it's a bug in Premiere? Had a lot of trouble with merged clips in CS5.5, and was hoping they'd be solved by CS6 - I've been using Creative Suite for a long time, and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
Thanks!

...and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
I guess they just have to weigh that up against the lack of support they got from Apple for FCP in its entirety.

Third party utility to allow "copy-and-merge" instead of "copy-and-replace"

I'm looking for a utility that can allow me to copy folders and files over existing ones, and have them merge instead of replacing everything. Where can I find one?

You can use FileMerge:
install the Developer tools from the Leopard DVD,
then go to this folder:
/Developer/Applications/Utilities

Splitting and Merging Clips

Hi,
I have some older edited video that I want to split into separate events by shooting subject. I know how to split the clips into separate events, but my problem is that imovie has imported the video into clips that combine subjects. Is there a way to split a clip within an event? Thanks!

Bill has assumed you mean a physical splitting of the clip and if that is what you are after then he has given you the answer.
But you might also consider virtual splitting within a project.
In the Project Media panel you can create one or more project folders using the Folder icon:
You can then take your 35 minute clip and create duplicates of it in your new folder(s). NB: These are not physical duplicates, only the original 35 minute clip is on your hard disk. So you don't have to worry how many duplicates you make, they do not take up extra hard disk space.
Having done this you can then rename the duplicates (in my example part 1, part 2, part 3). But the clever bit, that allows you to treat each of those duplicates as a separate clip, is that you can then set unique In/Out points for each duplicate. In the screen shot following you can see the In/Out point for 'part1'. In the Media panel you can see that part_1 is 13 frames long while part_2 is 1 second & 14 frames long.
You can add these alternate versions to the timeline and apply different effects and transitions to each part.

Neale

Subclips from Merged clips sync problem

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm having. When I sync audio to my TK dailies, I usually go through the following steps:
1. Sync video clip and audio clip in the timeline.
2. Trim the ends so that I get rid of all the audio and video at the beginning and end I don't need.
3. Link audio and video.
4. Drag linked clips to browser, thus creating a merged clip. This clip will have the in and out I set in the timeline, but the media start and stop will be the original clips' lengths. Because this means I usually have a big long useless bunch of audio at the beginning with no picture, I like to get rid of this, so I:
5. Create a subclip from the merged clip in the browser. This creates a new clip with the media start and end at the point of the former merged clip's in and out. No extra media to clutter things up.
HOWEVER, for some reason this isn't working for me now. When I create the subclip, Final Cut does make the in and out points the new media start and stop times for each individual audio and video clip, but it syncs the clips randomly, so I have sound with no image, then a little random overlap, then image with no sound. If I drag this new subclip made from the merged clip to the timeline, I can unlink and relink to restore the proper sync, but obviously this is a huge pain.
This has never happened to me before, and I've used this method for a while, I THINK from before FCP 6. But right now I'm working on an FCP 5.1.4 again so perhaps it's just something that works in 6? Though I'm almost sure I did it before version 6 successfully.
Does anyone know what's up with this? Or have any ideas for another method to get to the same result? There probably is a better way to do this anyway!
Thanks,
Nayeli

Well, I spoke too soon. That DID turn out to be the problem for that one project, which was at 29.97 non drop frame in general, but for some reason the sound imports as drop frame (though the sound guy assures me it's non drop and all my setting are non drop).
However, I'm having the same problem now in a 24fps project, where I have audio at 48KHz with 24fps timecode and I did a reverse telecine on the original 16mm video. I noticed, however, that though the telecine had no audio, empty audio was captured, and it thinks this audio was at 48048 Hz. This remains even after the reverse telecine. Could this be the problem in this instance?

Is there a way of getting Merged Clips into After Effects?

Hi,
When I import my premiere pro project into After effects (NOT VIA DYNAMIC LINK as we don't have prod. prem.) After Effects only sees the clips which aren't merged. Any fixes sensible work arounds for this, as currently I'm havbing to import the project ( a feature film...!) into Final Cut Pro then using Automatic Duck export out an AAF then using Automtaic Duck import that into After Effects. I haven't thought about how to get it back into premiere yet...will probably finish it off in FCP.

I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

I had a PC, it crashed, now I own a macbook, how do I sync my ipod to my mac and not lose everything purchased on both the itouch AND the old PC

I transfered all purchased files from the ipod to the mac, but its only transferring purchases that I made directly from the itouch. I backed up my pc to a WD external HD, BUT it has to be formated to a Mac in order for it to be read by a Mac which obviously won't work because everything will be deleted from the HD in the reformat. I purchased a LOT of my music through Itunes and/or amazon. I don't care so much about the games, but if I lost all the music I have it would definitely be hundreds of dollars and obviously that's way unacceptable. PLEASE HELP!!!

You can redownload most iTunes purchases again via iCloud. See this article for more details.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I'm guessing your external HD is formatted as NTFS? You can add the capability for your Mac to read/write to NTFS formatted drives using additional software. Here is are a few possibilities.

Merging clips from an In point without cutting

Hi, I've got a lot of clips to sync but unfortunately no obvious sync points so I kind of have to find my own. The problem I'm facing is that some of these sync points I'm using are halfway through a clip and if I merge them via In point Premiere automatically cuts everything before it (likewise merging via Out point cuts everything after). Is there some way of merging clips but keeping the duration of the sources? Sorry if this has been answered before. I've tried to find information on this but couldn't.
Thanks
EDIT: In case I haven't worded this properly, my problem is when I create a merged clip from sound and video (or a multicamera sequence), the resulting clip begins from the In point. Nothing before the In point remains.

Context
Live music event. Audio: Line out from the audio desk to an external recorder. Video: 2 DSLR's. No timecode, no clapperboard. I have to sync the songs together. I COULD layer them and move them frame by frame until it sounds right, but that's inaccurate and a lot of work. OR I could find a nice peak in audio as a sync point, mark an In point and merge. This point might be in the middle of the clip though and the resulting subclip will be missing the first half of the song.
I don't get why Avid doesn't have this problem but Premiere does.

Trimming tool problems with merged clips

I'm trying to edit a filmstyle sequence with merged clips (created video and audio synched, then merged into new clips). This works fine, except when I try to trim edits in the sequence - the trim tool works, but the picture in the left and right trim windows jump to different parts of the clips being trimmed, and do not show the correct frames being trimmed. The trim tool works fine when used with unmerged clips, but somehow can't seem to work with the synched up clips
The footage being edited was shot on RED and is in pro rez 4:4:4 format.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a bug, or is there a way around this? Thanks for any pointers...

I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

Multi-caming merged clips using audio

I'm working on a music-driven piece. The video was shot on Red Epic while the on-set audio was recorded separately and delivered as .wav files. The piece has actors performing to a pre-recorded musical guide track. I'd like to synch the audio and video using the merge clips function, via slate; then I'd like to align those merged clips to the pre-recorded guide track that the actors performed to. Ideally this would be done using the audio waveforms synching function. But it seems I can't multi-cam the merged clips this way. I'd like confirmation of this from someone who isn't as new to Premiere as I am; and perhaps another workflow suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
Hope that all makes sense.
