I had to cut a Red band trailer into a Green Band this week. Not a big deal, but I had to keep all the mixed audio in sync while I cut. And there was a lot of audio to wrangle.
Audio sources were discrete stereo, and 5.1 DME’s, so 24 channels/files.
Put the 6 L and R Stereo files into 3 Compound Clips, and the 18 5.1 files into another 3. Then put those 6 Compound Clips into a Compound Clip with the picture. Oh, audio was 24fps and pix was 23.98 so I had to slow each audio file down by about 2 frames. So…
My master was an A/V Compound Clip, containing 6 Audio Compound Clips, all of which contained 3-6 retimed audio clips. (Roles all properly set of course) Played fine as you’d expect…
A SIMPLE CUT LIKE THIS…
…WITH ALL THIS ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Edited out the R rated stuff, keeping all the disparate stems in sync, and today exported:
all the cut discrete stems (24),
an AAF,
an EDL,
and the master Video with comped audio in under 5 min. This app rocks. 😀
