Hi, I have a long audio file (about 2 hours) and many short video clips (like 50 clips of 10 seconds) recorded at the same time as the audio, but obviously, with gaps. The timecodes between audio and video are synchronzed.
Is there a quick way to create one sequence, with one audio track (the long audio file) and one video track with all the video clips positioned at the
correct position?
Thanks!
Rob Janssen.
That's great to hear, Rob. If you're getting separate audio and video clips from shoots with timecode, I strongly recommend exploring multicamera sequences as a way to sync everything easily.
In answer to your questions:
1) To retain the audio of your short video clips, you'll need to name your camera angles. Here's how you can do it:
1. Select all your short video clips in the Project panel.
2. Open the Metadata panel by clicking Window > Metadata.
3. Add the Camera Label field to the Metadata panel

Hi Rob,
This is very easy to do using Premiere's Create Multi-camera Source Sequence window.
1. In the project panel, select all your video and audio.
2. Choose Clip > Create Multi-camera Source Sequence.
3. For Synchronize Point, tick Timecode and Create single multicam source sequence.
4. For Track Assignments, choose Camera Labels.
5. For Audio Sequence Settings, choose Camera 1.
6. Click OK.
This will create a single multicam sequence with everything synced.
Keeping it as a multicamera sequence is the ideal way to work, but if you prefer to work with the actual clips, you can load the multicam sequence in the timeline by holding the Cmd/Ctrl key and double-clicking it in the Project panel. Then you can copy/paste the clips to another standard sequence.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Paul

2. Open the Metadata panel by clicking Window > Metadata.
3. Add the Camera Label field to the Metadata panel:
4. At the top of the Metadata panel, search for "Camera Label" to reveal the Camera Label field (it's under Dynamic Media).
5. In the Camera Label field, add a name for the camera that filmed all these short video clips.
Now you can follow the same steps as before to create the multicam sequence, but this time it will include the audio from the short video clips. If you want to edit with the multicamera clip, I recommend setting Audio Sequence Settings to "All Cameras."
2) If there's a gap at the start, don't worry! You can ripple delete this gap or move the starting position of your clips wherever you want.
Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul.
It worked perfectly thanks to your clear explication!
Now I will go and spend some time to explore the multicamera features.
Cheers,
Rob.
