im working with several tracks in a sequense (6 video tracks and 6 audio tracks. It will be easier for me to have each audio track under its correspondent video track but there is a separatos that avoids mixing the order of the tracks. How can i remove this separator?

Thank you

    This is just the way professional editors work.  Video tracks on top, audio on bottom.

    Ok, At this point i got it very clear. The question is: as professional how do you deal with multiple tracks with chromakey to compose one scene? bcz you need to sinc the audio but there are too many tracks... i get confused all the time, thats my problem. its a 45 minutes episode and i have to end the job till monday. Im kind of desperated right now

    Normally, actors aren't shot separately like that.  So you're starting off doing things odd.

    For myself, I prefer to record audio in camera.  This keeps everything synced up.  But even without that, you can manually sync the audio to the video and "link" them together so they behave as one clip.

    Hi,

    Sorry, it can't be done afaik.

    After Effects works on a layers principle where the audio is embedded. But not an ideal solution for editing of course.

    You may want to look at Rush. Whilst Audio and video are still separated, it is a little different.

      Hmmm, i never heard about that program before. Can you confirm if Premiere Rush have suport to advanced editing tools like ultrakey / opacity control / color corrector? If its easier to edit there and i could get the work done with quality it worth a try. i just cant waste time trying useless programs like i did with vegas and filmora bcz i just have till monday to finish this.

      You cannot. It is by design. Dont think this will ever change (hope not!!)

      If you want audio under video you might want to consider Premiere ELEMENTS.

      Are you sure theres no Options to remove it temporally? I dont think a professional program like Premiere works just in one way. And i cant use PrElements bcz it's all chroma key videos with actors and i have to edit like they are togheter in the scene. its so hard for me to sync the audio bcz as the audio is separated i have to mute one by one to figure out which video the audio belongs to. some might say i could label them but its more complicated than this... ive tryed filmora but it has the same separator line (at least in the trial version). If anyone knows a way to get rid of this separator or another way for me to do it easier im all ears

      take a deep breath. relax a moment. think about the real problem and the possible outcomes.

      a) you are in over your head and can't do the editing.

      b) you are learning how to deal with the material and problems you've encountered, so next time you know how to deal with it without some deadline you can't meet.

      What's the worst that can happen ? You don't do it. You fail at doing it. So what ? It's not the end of the world.

      You learn from it and move on.

      So, take it easy and don't panic, and learn and make notes about solutions you've already come up with. On paper.

      It's stupid for me to think that I can teach you how to make movies or edit from a forum because there are 6 year programs in universities that struggle to teach people the same stuff … at great cost to the student.  These are called "film schools" in general.

      Just do the best you can and don't panic.  My personal opinion is that you should just be honest with whoever gave you this stuff ( as you stated you have a deadline you want to meet ) and see if you can work with them to give you more time to finish it.

      After that it's a matter of sorting out what you have for source material.  If you have sound files that are totally unrelated to video clips ( in terms of timecode or slates or any kind of sync indicator... then you have to try and do it by watching some 'action' and painstakingly MOVING the sound to match the action.  Once you have that done for all the clips that are screwed up by being given to you haphazardly ( by idiots ) you LINK the video clip to the sound and SAVE IT ( maybe as a subclip or whatever ).  You have to spend the time and effort to get your resources straightened out despite the junk you GOT ( no jammed timecode, no slates, no in-camera sound embedded).

      Just take a breath and deal with it as best you can.   Obviously you CARE about the work and what you do, so you can trust yourself that you will continue to invest yourself the same way with everything you do.

      I hope this pep talk has been helpful, and please continue to believe in yourself and what you can accomplish.
