Hi Anthony,
You can sync your clips and audio using the Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence feature and then manually break them into smaller clips. Here's a summary of the steps:
Sync clips into Multi-camera
- Select the clips and audio files you want to sync in the Project panel.
- Right-click and choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence.
- In the Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence dialog box, set the Synchronization Point to Audio to sync by audio waveform.
- Choose any additional settings, such as handling audio and naming your sequence. I recommend setting Audio Sequence Setting to Camera 1, so it will only use your separate audio file and not the camera audio.
- Click OK to create the multi-camera source sequence.
Break up multi-camera into smaller clips
- Select the multi-camera sequence in the Project panel, right-click, and choose Open in Timeline.
- In the timeline, ensure you have all the tracks targeted and Sequence > Selection Follows Playhead turned off.
- Move your playhead to the first clip in the timeline, mark the clip (press X), and create a subsequence (press Shift + U). This will create a new sequence using only the video and audio within the in/out range.
- Use the Down arrow to move to the next clip, and repeat the process.
In the end, you will have 60+ sequences that you can use as nested sequences. They should display audio waveforms in the timeline.
Cheers,
Paul
