Question

Using synched tracks / timeline in Source monitor? Should be simple? Like Avid?

Hello

I'm passing along a project to an editor who wants to use the source-to-timeline insert method to create stringouts.

Interview footage is already synched in a timeline - 2 cameras.

I've tried nesting, merging, and multicam but they all have limitations or are intended for something else.

When we create a nested clip, sure it can become a source...but then once a new timeline is edited from that nested source, there is only one track. To open the nest, it just reveals the original  timeline rather than 'unnesting' in the new timeline with both angles available.

Suggestions?

thanks

    Since that functionality does not exist in Premiere, many use the Pancake method of editing from a Sequence (your synced takes)  to sequence (the cut) - here are some tutorials:

    With the Pancake method, you are basically using a sequence as a source. Once you get the hang of it is really efficient way to work.

    Wow. What Meg dog says makes total sense. I looked up definition of "string out " and I think I get it. You basically have everything shot that is halfway decent on a timeline from both cameras and now somebody wants to put that in order to give a general idea of whether or not there is a real story to be told and so on.

    String out seems to be related to Avid when I googled it.

    The pancake method seems like a really good way to make the 'string out' type thing.

    I don't know what a stringout is. I don't get what you are saying here.

    You have 2 cameras and stuff is synch'd in a timeline. Is that 2 video tracks with 1 camera on each level ? And you have not edited the stuff at all yet to create a roughcut or something ?  I don't get it.

    Did you do an edit at all yet ?

    ??

    when you say synch'd do you mean that you used clapper to synch sound to each camera via takes and slate and they are linked, or are you saying synch'd to mean something else ?
