Workflow recommendations for multiple character development AND editing in Premiere

Question

I am developing a pilot for a series that involves multiple characters on screen simultaneously. I will be creating the characters in ACA and then importing them (with alpha channel) into Premiere to edit the pilot.

Does anyone have any workflow recommendations for dealing with multiple voice audio tracks. The challenge is acting out each character's talking AND listening segments efficiently. I'm not sure if bringing in the entire audio track for the whole show makes sense to be able to heart the timing of the listening parts... or just bringing in the spaced audio track for each individual characters with the listening parts quiet makes the most sense.

Unfortunately you can't move audio tracks within ACA. You can only move visenes.

thanks!

I know exactly what you mean. I tried a few ways and ended up doing this.... I act out the voices in a DAW for a scene. Then render all tracks the same lenghth and export each characters part for the whole scene, including pauses, and import them in ACA. Then I do the timeline audio sync for each character by itself, disable lip sync and do the character animations. Then export with alpha to Premiere and line them all up there. It's a lot quicker than it sounds and everything lines up perfectly. There may be better process but having them line up makes it quick from there.
