How do I synchronize multiple clips from a single video placed in the same track to an other track?

[Hae Yun Jung]

So long ago, my colleague edited the mutlicam video in track 1(v1, a1) and exported into a video(video&audio in track 2).

Later I had to edit the video a bit, but my colleague deleted the project file.

So I have the original source videos, and the final video now but I want to add a little edit and export it again.

So I brought the final video and used the 'scene edit' function and cut it into pieces(clips in track 2).

Now I want to find where the each clips belong in the original clip.

But unfortunately I can't synchronize mutiple clips in one track. The only way I know is to place all the clips to different tracks, and as you can see in the picture there are hundreds of clips there.

Is there any way I can synchronize multiple clips from a single video placed on a same track to a single video that has the original data?

Hi Hae Yun Jung,

These steps should help you synchronize your edit with your original files:

1. Add a clip marker: Because your audio clip is not inside your multicam, select both of them in the timeline and add a clip marker. You can use this to sync them back together afterward.

2. Create subclips: When you created new clips using Scene Edit Detection, if you checked Create Bin of Subclips you can skip this step. In your Project panel, create a new bin and drag your audio clip and V2 clips from the timeline into the bin. This will create new copies of these clips. For the V2 clips, it will create a new subclip for each edit using the Timeline in/out.

3. Create a multicam sequence: In the Project panel, select the audio and subclips and choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence. For the Synchronize Point, choose Audio Track Channel. Click OK. This will create a new multi-camera sequence.

4. Open and simplify the sequence: In the Project panel, right-click the new multi-camera sequence and choose Open in Timeline. You should see your audio file with all your subclips stacked on different layers. Choose Sequence > Simplify Sequence and check Close vertical gaps on video tracks. This will create a new sequence with all your video subclips on one track.

5. Consolidate audio tracks: Your audio subclips will still be on different tracks. If you want to move all to the same track, follow the steps in this video.

6. Sync with the original sequence: Add a new track and drag your original multi-camera sequence to it. Use the marker you set earlier to sync it with your audio.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
