Hi!

I'm currently cutting a small Video of my band, where we had multiple cameras rolling at different times.

I'm using the sync by Audio feater of premiere.

but I've experienced one Problem:

so I mark the "master"-Clip and the newly added Clip and right click -> synchronize , but premiere syncs the master Clip after the new one.

not a problem if it's the first thing i've entered, but annoying if there already a couple of clips in the sequence.

i've already tried every combination of selecting order, choosing an other Audio track etc.

I'm pretty sure it's my fault, so please can you help me!

thanks!

greetings from austria

Hey Guys,

Just passing along the work around for this, which once you get the hang off seems to work fairly easily.

It appears the sync function will only move the track that is ahead in time. In other words when two tracks are selected the track that will be moved will be the one that is ahead of the other. This track will be pushed forward.

So in my work flow the Video/Audio track 1 is always my master track. When I bring in another track I visually line it up using the waveform making sure that the new track is slightly ahead of the master track. Then when synced-by-audio the new track will be the one that gets pushed.

I hope that makes sense.

I came here looking for an answer but ended up having one to share!

Now... I didn't realise but if you add all your clips you can just sync the whole lot in one go!

I've just done it with four ~33 track music videos and it's worked a dream. It's not my normal editing method but thought it worth a try 😊

FYI, another workflow to try is Multicam sync. Select all the clips in the bin, right-click and choose "Make Multicam..." The method is to sync by audio and then Premiere will try to sync everything up by waveform and make a multicam clip. If you want to edit the video tracks directly you can choose to open the MC clip as a sequence.
