AAF Woes....
I am running into wall after wall trying to make an AAF for my mixer. Here are the specifics.
- Interviews were three camera and production sound.
- Everything was synched into a multicam sequence.
- Selects (subsequences) were pulled from the multicam intvw.
- When ready to send to color and mix, I selected my whole sequence and hit multicam>flatten
- Picture reverts to source clips. Audio does not. It stays nested.
So, when I hand off an XML or AAF to color... everything is fine. But, the audio AAF has tons of missing regions.
I figured out a few different workarounds. The worst being to recut all the audio in by matching in replacing each clip. There were thousands of edits. This truly sucked.
I also toyed with just nesting then multi-camming ONLY the cameras within a sequence. But, you lose multicam abilities once you cut this sequence into another sequence because Premiere nests it, and that new nest is not longer a multicam sequence but rather a sequence with a multicam sequence within it.
There's also the possibility of pacing the "source sequence" above the edit sequence and copy/pasting segments from the source into the edit timeline. But, this is neither efficient nor traditional bin editing.
I guess my question is, is there a way to have the CONTENTS of a sequence that you have loaded in your source monitor drop into your edit without it being nested? A setting maybe? This would solve everything.
