I am finding it hard to believe that one camera sped only a little, unless someone accidentally triggered the stop and immediately started recording again
video is locked to sync at 29.97 fps. that's crystal controlled or something, it should not slip even a little. I've been doing multicam in ppro 2, 40 minnit clips of a symphony concert with not a problem the solution, assuming i am correct (it happens occasionally!), is to cut something out of one clip to make it match the other. I fear that speed changed would just throw everything off if you just let it play through, does the audio suddenly go out of sync at some point? that's where I'd start looking js ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Schell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [AP] editing video from 2 camera sources (premiere pro 1-5) 1. You can change the length / duration of the clips by right-clicking them and choose Speed/Duration. Or, you can use the Rate Stretch Tool from the Tools palette, which will allow you to manually drag the In / Out handles of a clip and shorten/lengthen the clip in the Timeline window. However, in your case, the trick is going to be calculating how many frames it is off. Personally, I would go to the end of the longest clip, and count backwards to figure out how many frames the audio is off. Once you know that, you can right click on the long clip and choose Speed/Duration to shorten the duration by the desired # of frames. 2. 1.5 doesn't come with any built-in multicamera options, so you'll have to do this using two tracks. You're correct that Premiere only shows you the top most video track, when the two clips overlap. Again, this is a matter of preference, but I would put the better of the two clips on track 1. Then I would add to track 2 the "good chunks" of the other clip that I want to use. This can be done "additive" by keeping the second clip in the source monitor and only adding the portions that you want. Or you can do this "subtractive" by putting the second clip on track 2 and using the Razor tool to splice the areas you don't want and manually remove them. Ideally, one of the two clips has better audio, so you can completely remove the second audio. Multicameras, IMHO, look better when you've got one audio source, but with multiple video sources.

I figured out how to view the clips in dual monitor mode in Premiere (the help files are not that good), and drop markers on a distinguishing frame in each clip and line up the markers in the event timeline. Now I have a couple questions 1) toward the end of the clips it seems they aren't synced, as if camera #1 was running a little faster than camera #2. How can I get Premiere to expand or squish (which is better?) one of the clips so they both are the same length? 2) how can I transition from one camera source to the next? I have camera #1 in Video 3 of the timeline (audio is in Audio 3) and camera #2 in Video 2 of the timeline (audio in Audio 2), but when I try to play them back all I see is camera 1 (I am hearing the audio from both, which is how I can tell they're out of sync) Any help or reference to a good web tutorial or book would be greatly appreciated...

And I need help. I have two video clips of the same event from two different angel, from two diffrent camera. Now I need to make a single video clip, from these two, taking different parts from different angel. So here what I am doing, first I put the clips in different track. Video track 1 and Video track 2. The audio went 1 and 2 resepectively. Now I want to synchronize them. Once done, I would cut parts from Video track 1, so that in these places Video track 2 can be visible. And so on... Is this the best way to do this? If so, how do I synchronize in Premier Pro and how do cut off parts from tracks. If not, please give some tips, so that I can start. If possible, please provide links Premier Pro tutorials.

Place one video on a track so it appears in the right monitor window. Find some distinct action or movement by the subject in the picture. Once you find a defining instance in the picture use the * key on the number pad to place a marker at that point. Drag the second video to the left monitor, find that same defining moment and then using single frame forward or backward (right arrow or left arrow) find the frame that matches the one in the right monitor. Place a marker on it and then line up the markers on the timeline. -- Larry Johnson Digital Video Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.digitalvideosolutions.com 877-227-6281 Toll Free Sales Assistance 386-672-1941 Customer Service 386-672-1907 Technical Support 386-676-1515 Fax Yahoo!
