1. Start a new project or open an existing project to which you want to add the multicamera video.

2. From the Options menu, choose Quantize to Frames if it is not already selected. For more information, see Quantize to Frames.

3. From the Options menu, choose Ignore Event Grouping to turn it off.

4. Select your clips in the Project Media window.

5. Add your clips to the timeline:

6. For clips with synchronized timecode, choose Multicamera from the Tools menu, and then choose Lay Out Tracks Using Media Timecode from the submenu.

7. For clips without synchronized timecode, choose Multicamera from the Tools menu, and then choose Lay Out Tracks Using Media Date/Time Stamp from the submenu.

The result is a pair of tracks for each camera, with events aligned based on the timecode or date/time stamp of each clip. If your scenes were captured with synchronized timecode, your clips should be in perfect alignment. Otherwise, you’ll need to adjust the alignment to synchronize the clips. The goal is to align the clips in time so the synchronization points you recorded occur at the same timeline position for all clips.

If you used a slate or a loud clap for your synchronization point, you can align the events to within a frame of each other using the audio waveforms.

1. Use the Zoom controls at the bottom-right corner of the timeline to zoom in on the waveform.

2. Drag a track’s border to make the tracks taller and view large waveforms.

3. Use Shift+Up Arrow to magnify the waveforms if necessary.

4. Click the event and press 1 or 3 on the numeric keypad to nudge the event by frames to the left or right.

   

You can also align your events using the video.

These steps require snapping to be enabled, so if you have not already done so, turn snapping on by clicking the Enable Snapping button . For more information, see Enable Snapping.

1. Solo the video track.

2. Position the cursor at the synchronization point and drag the event’s snap offset so it snaps to the cursor. For more information, see “Set an event snap offset” in Enable Snapping.

   

3. Repeat these steps for each clip.

4. Drag the cursor to a snap point, and then snap the other clips to the cursor.
