1. Re: How can I sync free-run clips to a timeline by timecode?
shooternz Aug 2, 2013 3:53 PM (in response to S Kendall)Post your free run timecode into the Sequence (Timeline) as per the camera.
Therefore the cameras (clips) have timecode reference to the timeline.
Use the Timecode Boxes (type in the TC) to locate those positions and use Clip Markers from clips in the the Source Window to align clips with sequence.
Hopefully thats what you want?

I'm not sure what you mean by Timecode Boxes. Can you explain this a little better? Are you just saying to drop each clip manually onto the timeline where it needs to go? If so, that's the solution I'm currently using. I was hoping there was a quicker, more automated way to do it.
Thanks.

JSS1138 Aug 2, 2013 4:05 PM (in response to S Kendall)What I'd like to be able to do is create a timeline with the same start time as the first clip from CAM A, drop all of the clips from CAM A onto one track and be able to line up the clips by their timecode to the timeline's timecode.
I don't believe that can be done. I think the best you'll get is a multicam sequence for every single instance of both cameras shooting the same thing.
It's a lot of work, man.

You'd think Adobe would have made it possible to sync clips to a timeline using their timecode and align them with the timeline's timecode.

Even with that feature, though, you'd end up with an eight hour sequence.
It'd be a better feature request, I think, if you could designate selected clips as Camera 1, then other clips as Camera 2, etc. Then have PP create a sequence with all timecodes synced to each other, each camera's clips on their corresponding track. This would eliminate gaps where nothing was shot, which you'd get a lot of syncing the cams to a sequence timecode.

I did submit the feature request though. Thanks for the link!
