Syncing and understanding "synchronized Clips"

We did a fairly large scene in an episode of our TV show.
We used two cameras and 14 mics -- connected to 4 separate recorders.
Kind of a mess, but FCPx has done a great job of sync'ing everything
So... I now have everything synced in a "synchronized Clip".
I do need all the audio tracks for parts of the scene, but there are other parts where I only need one single track (a particular mic on a character)
How do I switch (or remix) that -- just that one instance on the storyline?
Thanks
Steve

Setup both accounts and they will remain as separate accounts. They will not merge.
Although both sets of contacts will appear in the Contacts app, they will stay separate.
It's not actually possible to merge contacts from multiple accounts, so there's no worry that that may happen. Although you can choose to view all contacts together in the Contacts app.

  • 10.0.1 Synchronized Clips Bug or Not?

    Only just noticed this and would like to pin point if it's a bug or not?
    I created a Keyword Collection and placed a video/audio file to sync.
    Adding a second clip in the Keyword Collection (which is Cam-B), I then synchronized this clip with the same audio file.
    I then created a compound clip and added Synchronized Clip: MVI_1051 in the Primary Storyline, and above I connected Synchronized Clip: MVI_3262.
    At this stage everything seems to appear normal.
    What I generally do now is Break Apart Clip Items, then delete one of the audio track, and my result should be 2x perfectly synched cameras.
    However (and only by accident) I didn't delete the 2nd audio track, and zoom into the beginning of the timeline to only find that the audio is out of sync.
    To re-explain.....
    I synched 2 video clips with the same audio, created a compound clip (as a timeline) added sync 1 to the primary storyline and connect the 2nd sync above. I then  choose Break Apart Clip Items, and found the audio not lining up at the beginning.
    Has anyone got a good explanation for this...? or is it just another FCP X BUG...!

    I've been told many times that FCP X is unable to sync 2 cameras at the same time.....!
    Out of curiosity I selected both clips + audio and choose synchronize clips, and here are the results
    I'm still curious as to why that audio doesn't line up..!

  • I need to understand better, what can be done with sync and what cannot

    i setup 2 windows boxes + 2 linux boxes to sync and got a mess in less than a day. apparently, i do not understand, what it does/should do, and what not.
    As one having done work in distributed environments, namely in database replication scenarios, i understand, there have to be limitations, especially, as all of my 4 boxes are running most of the time.
    next, i found, that copying profiles wouldnt have worked either, as the windows boxes (have to) use different add-ons/plugins compared to linux (like fireshot - to give a simple example - needed a replacement on linux). - So just moving profiles doesnt help. But the promise to catch open windows/tabs, history, and so forth doesnt seem to work either. Maybe TabMixPlus is killing the whole mechanism?
    I found very detailed documentation on where to click to get it all started, but nothing about the internals nor limitations, thus being very disappointed now to find sync actually NOT working at all.
    Furthermore, while setting up the whole thing, every machine had a "sync setting" as to how to use that one machine: initial distribution/sync/receiver only/and so forth. Does this only concern the initial setup? - I wasnt able to see this configuration option ever again to be able to change it after the initial setup had been done.
    So i obviously need to understand better... as to me it looks like some real messy replication scenario, with not all backends sharing the same tables. And apparently adding/removing add-ons needs to get replicated manually anyway.
    What time delay do i have to expect? When shall i use "Syncronize" manually? And so on...
    I mean: I trusted Mozilla solution more than any other one, but it doesnt seem to live up to my expectations.
    (sorry: i had to reenter the whole thing after my email address ran out)

    Ok then! Thanks for answering!  Can you still transfer music over? I can't even get that to work! I have set my nephews up with no problem..obviously not a sec generation... please help again!

  • 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.

  • Problem synchronizing clips

    Hi,
    I am trying to synchronize two video clips, one which has two different audio tracks (CH1 on board, CH2 tie clip) and a second camera with an on board mic).
    So far FCPX does not synchronize these correctly. I have tried setting in points first. I have also tried adding a marker called 'Marker 1' to both clips at the same point (I got someone to clap at the beginning). Still, when I open the synchonized clip, they are not quite in sync.
    Am I doing something wrong? I was hoping I could use this feature to edit multiple cameras and just cut them up on the timeline, and patiently wait for a proper multicam feature in the next release.

    After experimenting, it seems that the synchronize feature takes time to work (i.e. once the synchronized clip appears, it might still take a long time to process and actually perform the sync!) so best to leave it for several hours if a long clip and come back to it later.
    However, the sync I have found doesn't work every time, and it isn't always spot on.
    I think it is going to be a case of waiting for the multicam feature, where hopefully we will be able to set in points manually. I always clap or flash the cameras at the start of a multicam shoot, so syncing shouldn't be difficult if apple copy the functionality of FCP7 multicam.

  • Frame Rate & Resolution change with synchronized clip

    Does anyone know why a Canon 7d file recorded at 1920x1080 29.97fps changes to a 1280x720 23.97fps file when a synchronized clip with a separate audio file is created?
    After selecting the synchronized clip in the event browser I can edit the compound clip settings to change back to 1920x1080, but 23.98 is the only framerate selectable.  The sync worked beautifully.  My import preferences are set to create optimized media - 422 ProRes.

    Well, I went to the clip that was mentioned in the source file and selected it to do a frame rate conversion and its source file was correct. I hit cancel and went back to the my desired clip and the time the source file was correct.
    Doing a few more conversion the correct source file doesn't always come up correctly, but I just bounce around selecting a few different clips without actually doing the conversions and it eventually fixes itself...
    It's just buggy!

  • How do I sync and switch between multiple camera angles?

    I shot a concert with 3 HD cameras. I though it would be relatively simple to sync and cut between them but it's turning out to be much harder than I expected. I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this. Anybody have any tips and tricks on how best to combine these into a single multi-camera video?

    Multicamera editing is not easy with Premiere Elements.
    If you work in Mac environment, you can use Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro, they have multicamera functions which
    permit simple editing by showing simultaneously video clips and you can choose by clicking the one you want to have
    in the final movie.
    In Windows environment, you have tools like Premiere Pro, or Sony Vegas Pro or Magix video deluxe Pro that are
    natively supporting multicamera editing.
    One important point is synchronizing the clips. If you are musical expert, you can do it with the sound tracks and align on the
    sound curves, manually. Not easy for me, but I have a friend in my video group who makes it very well. In Mac environment,
    Final Cut Pro X has an automatic function to synchronize video tracks on sound track basis. In windows, I know
    there is a program : PluralEyes which does this synchro.
    These different tools are not free unfortunately.
    Best regards

  • Out of sync indicator with merged clips?

    Hi. I'll edit a fifteen minutes short film soon and I'd like to work with Première CC.
    The film will be shooted with the new Sony F55 so I'll have to manage RAW files and xavHD files. I made some tests and Premiere read them perfectly.
    But ... My problem is this:
    I'll use the automatic audi sync to match my audio and my video. Then I'll merge them to have synced files.
    I noticed that, once merged, there is no more out of sync indicator! Or is it?
    I can't edit a complete short film if I don't have the out of sync indicator. It would be too dangerous.
    It means that I'll have to work with the dinausor fcp7 with transcoded Applepro res files ... again!
    I read that I could use Pluraleyes first, then bring the synchronized rushes into Premiere CC. But I think that it's a little bit stupid to be obliged to spend 200 euros  and to loose time copying all the rushes knowing that Premiere could do it immediately
    Any solution?
    Thanx for help
    Marc

    That's not the only thing missing with merged clips.  Copied from my previous discussion:
    No Match Frame
    No Replace Edits (picture matches, but audio gets out of sync)
    And for that matter, NO out-of-sync indicators at all.  None.
    No making SUBCLIPS in the project panel (via source panel ins and outs).  A subclip gets created, but it's not the part you selected.
    No retention of MARKER comments.  Once you select a new clip, the comments go POOF!  Gone.
    I just cut a 10 minute dialogue short with merged clips, and I can't think of a single time I knocked audio out of sync.  But I was prudent in my technique.
    If you need the functionality, 1) file a bug report and 2) use the PluralEyes method. 

  • I can't get sync'd multi cam Clip.

    I'm shooting with 2 cameras, both with audio.  I highlight the clips, right -click and select new multicam clip and use audio waveform to sync.  Instead of getting 1 synced multicam clip with both (camer) angles (clips) showing in the viewer, I get a multiclam clip with the 2 (camera) clips (angles) in sequence: one after the other,  Ive also tried syncing with markers as the starting point, but the same thing happens.
    The workaround is to make  synchronized clip, open it in the timeline, and carfully hack out one camera to reveal the other. Ouch.
    Anybody?

    I am having a similar issue. My system and FCP are latest updates.
    I have a set of clips shot with one tripod camera for the full length, and what looks like one or two other "roving" cameras getting closeups and other angles, but start and top points (not runnign the entire interview). Effectively these are B roll with matching audio.
    If I run Sync Clips, it makes a huge mess piling them all one atop another. The audio souds like a party, not a conversation with two people.
    When I make a Multicam clip, FCP does a "pretty good job" but some short clips are WAY out of sync...
    Then it becomes a puzzle to find where they go.
    Is there a keyboard shortcut for monitoring the video of the track on which I have just clicked the clip it's on? the one Multiclip when I am done?

  • 2 Cameras 1 Audio Synchronized Clips lost after timeline review

    Hello. I have embarked on a film project and I am trying to sync and log the footage effectively so that a remote editor can begin work and we can utilize the same titled footage. So that he and I can work effectively from the same material, I am syncing all footage and titling it by scene and take. So far I have synced two complete scenes. Occassionally I would open a synced file in the timeline just to review and make sure everything was in order. Then I would highlight the material in the timeline, delete, it, and move on to syncing the next 3 clips. This is why I did not notice that although the title of the synced clip remained in my list of " - Synchronized Clip(s)"  the clip that I had opened and then cleared from the timeline was actually blacked out completely. It was unplayable. It was as though once you added a synced clip to the timeline, you had to use it or it was gone. But as I said, the title of the clip remained so I didn't notice that some were gone.
    This has proven very frustrating to me. I have tried to synchronize clips and then turn them into compound clips, but that does not seem to allow me to "break apart" the synced clips for future cutting.
    My goal is to completely "sync" the two cams and 1 audio track for editorial review, and then export the entire Library to a hard drive for a two editor work flow.
    What the heck am I doing wrong? Or, am I doing anything right? Thanks so much for your help.

    You mean once you've deleted it? If this was the synced clip, you just have to resync it.
    Once you've opened it in the timeline you don't have to do anything. Just open sonething else into the timeline or open a project.
    Sync clips aren't in the Finder. They're simply two separate clips combined in the sync clip container.

  • Synchronized  clip is black

    Hello
    I am using FCPX 10.1.3  on a 2014 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.5
    After doing a CLIP-Syncronize Clips function, I get a Syncronized clip that is mostly BLACK with a few good frames.
    This occurs almost all the time.
    How can I fix this ?
    Thanks

    Hello
    Yes, that is correct - 'the sound recorder was running continuously and the camera was stopped and restarted'
    My first attempt was to sync one small video clip with the big sound clip.
    I deleted all the black sync'ed clips.
    I then tried to synchronize ALL 7 video clips with the ONE big sound clip.
    That seemed to work.  The big synchronized clip had gaps in the video as expected, when the camera was off.
    That may be the way to handle this type of sync task ?
    Thanks

  • Don't see synchronized clip

    after selecting a pix, and two separate audio clips, selecting "Synchronize Clip", in some cases I don't see a resulting "synchronized" take... why would this be the case? and with no message telling me why...
    thx
    howard

    The synchronized clip gets dumped into the base event.  If you have a keyword collection selected, then you won't see the sync clip.  Just select the event itself and look.

  • CC 7.2: out of sync indicator on merged clips - possible to hide / set?

    With the CC 7.2 update, existing projects have turned into a mess of out-of-sync indicators on merged clips (DSLR video with separate audio sources, synced using PluralEyes). In previous versions, Premiere apparently accepted, or ignored, merged clips for sync indicator purposes, but now it seems to have decided to assume that the "synced" state is when audio and video start at the exact same time. Since the audio source is external, clicking the indicator to bring "into sync" obviously has the opposite effect.
    For now, we've been reduced to the workaround of using the Ctrl-F12 command console and setting debug option TL.Don'tDrawSyncIndicators to True, which gets rid of the visual clutter. Of course, that means that sync indicators everywhere are gone, including where they would have been useful.
    I'm sure all of this works fine with newly synchronized merged clips, or maybe even clips previously merged by Premiere, but that's not going to work for 27 hours of synced footage and a 90-minute rough edit...
    So, am I missing something very obvious here? Is there some way to have merged clips be ignored by Premiere, as they used to be? Or even better, to "set" a merged clip as being synced and actually registering sync shifts in respect of the correctly synced position?

    Strike those last comments of mine, I think I've figured out the fundamental issue and it seems to be a clear bug. It's actually completely unrelated to PluralEyes, but here's how I figured it out:
    PluralEyes creates linked, but not merged, synced clips on a timeline. To add those synced clips to a bin, you will need create merged clips. Problem is, Premiere will always consider a merged clip from such a clip to be "out of sync" if there was any trimmed audio preceding the start of the video. And trimming audio preceding video is precisely what PluralEyes does by default.
    It turns out the sync indicator problem does not occur:
    - If video started rolling before audio (PluralEyes never automatically trims video); or
    - If the trimmed audio is manually restored using the selection tool on the timeline prior to creating the merged clip.
    Basically, trimming an audio clip prior to using it as part of a merged clip, causes Premiere to interpret the merged clip as having been "created out of sync". It's as if it's interpreting the trimming of the audio as a shift in the start of the audio. This is obviously not right, and it didn't happen prior to CC 7.2
    The issue can be reproduced at will by taking any random video and audio clip, regardless of sync, shortening the audio clip at the beginning and then creating a merged clip. Adding the new merged clip to a timeline will lead to it appearing to be "out of sync".
    There's a relatively simple workaround on new projects: undo (or disable, not sure if this is possible) the automatic trimming of audio clips in PluralEyes and don't trim audio prior to creating merged clips. Unfortunately, this is no solution for the current project, especially given the many limitations Premiere still has when dealing with merged clips.

  • Droid Razr Maxx/Issues with Exchange Sync and Texting

    I have a Droid Razr Maxx.  Since the KitKat update to 4.4 in May 2014, my Exchange email account will not sync. My Comcast account does.    If I power cycle the phone, it will sync the Exchange account for a short time until I receive the following error message:  'couldn't open connection to server due to sec..."  When I touch the error message, it just goes away.  If there is more of the error message, I'm unable to see it.  I have removed the Exchange account and added it back in three times.  My IT department indicates they have not made any changes to the security levels, but have fielded several questions from other Android users with the KitKat update.  My text messaging service also stopped.  I've been reviewing all forums and tried different things, but to no avail.  I went to the Verizon store, who just said that there have been 'lots' of complaints about KitKat and that I should buy a different phone.  This $200+ phone is only 7 months old.  Please help!!

    After deleting and adding my Corporate account, visiting the local Verizon store several times, visiting my IT department, and now wiping the phone and re installing all software, the Corporate email still only syncs when I power cycle the phone.  We are a BYOD company which means every other phone works with the Exchange account.  My phone also worked up until the KitKat update in May 2014. The only recommendation I have received from Verizon is to replace my 8 month old Motorola Razr Maxx with a entirely different phone at full price. The tech I spoke with at Verizon made the statement that she has avoided updating to KitKat given all the customer issues she has had to deal with. 
    I'm in a technology field and understand when glitches occur, but also expect functionality issues to be addressed. I've been with both Verizon and Motorola for a long time, but very doubtful I will continue this relationship when contract time is up for renewal.  I'm carrying my iPad around to get the Corporate emails and the Razr Maxx has been relegated to just being a very expensive phone.
