Synchronize - how to do this & keep track on place

[Vylaern]

Hi,

I have got a 2 clips:

- Clip 1 (long) is on Track 1 and is partly edited.

- Clip 2 (short) is on Track 2,

After Synchronisation Clip 1 is moved out of it previous position. What to do, to keep Clip 1 on track and force the Clip 2 to adapt to the Clip 1?

Try making clip 2 earlier in the timeline before synchronising.

Try to create a multicam sequence with both clips and trim the in point of the MCclip to the in point of clip1.

If memory serves, the track whose clip starts first will be the one that stays put.  So make sure the clip on V2 starts after the clip on V1.

I knew it was one or the other

Right, after testing it doesn't work for me.

But I did a screenshot to better describe problem. [1] So I got 0000.MTS file (V1+A2) and 7326.MOV (V2+A3). [2] I would like to keep 0000.MTS where it is. [3] After doing synchronise (whenever option I took) I got ALLWAYS 7326.MOV in old place and 0000.MTS out of the track. Is it any way possible in Premiere Pro to keep 0000.MTS and move 7326.MOV?

No idea if this works but:

- Have you tried to select V2 instead of V1 on your timeline (the blue box)?

- And maybe try to lock V1 and A2..

[1] I have no idea what are those blue box for, so what should I keep and and what should I change?

[2] Lock V1 A2 doesn't work, as then this file is not available for synchronise.
