Add clips for multi-camera editing

You can use any type of media in a multi-camera editing session, including footage from various cameras and from
still images. You assemble the media into a sequence of up to four video and four audio tracks. You can add more
than one clip to a track to accommodate the use of multiple tapes in a camera.

After the clips are assembled, you synchronize them and then create and enable the target sequence.

Place clips from each camera on a separate track. Use video and audio tracks 1–4. You can edit the clips as

necessary.

Note: Video and audio clips placed above track 4 will not be available for multi-camera editing.

Synchronize clips

Make sure that you’ve marked the sync points for each camera’s footage before you attempt to synchronize them.
You can mark the sync points by setting similarly numbered markers for each clip or by reassigning each clip’s
timecode. (See
