262 Part II Rough Editing
6 Select the “Automatically edit new multiclip(s) into a new a sequence” option to create
a sequence containing your new multiclips.
7 Click OK.
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.
Example: Creating Multiclips Using the Starting Timecode
and Starting Timecode Delta Options
By adjusting the starting timecode offset value and clicking the Update button, you
can precisely control how clips are grouped together into multiclips.
