256 Part II Rough Editing
A new sequence is created that contains all of the multiclips in chronological order. The
location of the multiclips in the Timeline is based on the starting timecode number of
each multiclip.
Note: If the combined length of all the multiclips exceeds the maximum allowed
sequence length, multiple sequences are created.
Multiclip Sequence Examples
In the examples below, five camcorders recorded footage with consistently
synchronized timecode, but not all camcorders started at exactly the same moment.
As a result, the captured media files do not all have the same starting timecode
number, even though they show the same visual events occurring at the same
timecode numbers. Some clips are offset from each other by 1:00 (1 second) or less,
while others are offset by as much as 10:00. In these examples, the goal is to create
three multiclips, each containing five angles.
