Hey its Al from class of 2019! Relearning some Avid basics for a project I'm working on. I was just thinking 'If only I could get a refresher from Mark'
To clarify the choppy playback, it's not just about having a high powered machine to run this footage smoothly. The other bottleneck is the read speeds of the drive the footage lives on. If it's not a higher number than the data rate of the footage, you get the dropped frames/choppy playback, since it can stream all the data (read) fast enough. By using smaller/low bitrate codecs, you can alleviate this problem. ProRes Proxy and DNxHR LB being the proxy codecs of choice for offline editing.
I know this is a really simple question, but how are you viewing the source monitor in the timeline and vice-versa? When I scroll on the timeline of my audio it's in the right hand side and I can't mark an in on the actual audio clip. I saw you just clicked the source monitor to get the audio into the timeline, did you use a specific keyboard shortcut? Thanks!
This is a really useful keyboard shortcut called "Toggle Source/Record in Timeline." On my keyboard it's mapped to the Tab key to quickly switch between the two views in the Timeline. If yours isn't mapped, you can find this command in the Command Palette in the "Other" tab.
Great explanation! With the sync clip - would you usually leave the scratch audio in it or remove it to have just the clip and the synced audio? If so how would you remove just the scratch audio from the clip?
Personally I usually ditch the scratch track. When you do the sync you can choose what tracks to keep. I believe there's a specific option to keep the sound from the video clip or not
Not sure I understand the question, this video shows how to sync the clips. If you're talking about you shot multiple cameras so several takes match the same audio, see my separate tutorial on multicam synching and editing.
Depends on the person. I generally found it more complicated to learn things in Premiere than Avid but that's because Avid works more the way I intuitively want editing to work. YMMV :-)
Several options work, some very easy ones if you jam synced timecodes. If doing it manually I think the most straightforward is lay them all in one sequence on separate video tracks, manually align, then use the "group" function. Would a tutorial on this be helpful?

Ha well glad to be able to make that happen

Yes. Although in my own personal experience it's pretty much always been the computer that's the limiting factor, not the drives.

Thank you for asking this question! Exactly what I wanted to know.

We shoot sync sound in shoot. How can I sync audio with visual for all rushes . Presently manually mapping the sound with video time code .

You're welcome!
Why it`s always complicated to learn simple things on Avid?
Depends on the person. I generally found it more complicated to learn things in Premiere than Avid but that's because Avid works more the way I intuitively want editing to work. YMMV :-)
how to make it with multicam?
Several options work, some very easy ones if you jam synced timecodes. If doing it manually I think the most straightforward is lay them all in one sequence on separate video tracks, manually align, then use the "group" function. Would a tutorial on this be helpful?
@@filmprofmark yes
@christophershepard8425 @zajacpo1 Multicam tutorial now up, you can find it at ruclips.net/video/hSn-pZaY4io/видео.html
Hope that's helpful!
@@filmprofmark thank you!! For the past two weeks I had to manually find sync points in order to sync production audio to different cameras
Ouch! And this is why you hope the production team does their part and gives you some easy way to sync.
