How do I create identical subclips for a second source?

I have an interview with multiple cameras, and to organize it I have subclipped and labeled each question individually. Is there a way to “copy” these subclips to the other camera angles so I don’t have to do them all over again for each camera? (The cameras are timecode synced) Thanks!

    Correct answer PaulMurphy

    Since your cameras share timecode, I would create a multi-camera source sequence with your subclips and the other camera angles, then create subsequences based on the subclips. You’ll then have a multi-camera source sequence for each subsequence, with both cameras in it.

    1. Select the other camera angles and your subclips.
    2. Choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence.
    3. Set Synchronize Point to Timecode.
    4. Set the audio Sequence Settings to All Cameras.
    5. Right-click the multi-camera source sequence and choose Open in Timeline.
    6. Move all your subclips onto the same track, and delete any empty tracks.
    7. Step through the timeline. When you reach a subclip, select it.
    8. Mark In and Out around the selection (/), then Deselect All (Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + A).
    9. Choose Sequence > Make Subsequence (Shift+U).
    10. To turn the subsequence into a multi-camera source sequence, load it in the Source Monitor, right-click, and choose Multi-Camera > Enable.

    In the future, rather than using subclips, I recommend creating multi-camera source sequences and making subsequences directly from those.

    Hi there,
    Thank you for your post. I’m not aware of an easy method to transfer existing subclips to a different timecode-synced camera angle. However, there may be a more effective multicam workflow that can help you achieve what you're looking for.

    ​@PaulMurphy, could you share your thoughts on this? Is there a way to manage this without recreating all the subclips for each camera angle?

     

    Thanks,

    Kevin
