Hello...
Every now and then I'll do freelance multicam shoots where there is no timecode, recordings start/end/restart at different times, recording may/may not have audio, and filenames may/may not have timestamps in the metadata or filename.
Vegas Pro has been my go-to editor, for years, and I can do my best to line all the clips up on a timeline (each camera as it's own track) and then create a multicam clip from the timeline.
It's a pain in the butt, but it gets the job done.
Is there a way to do this with DaVinci?
I've only seen how to match up with in/out points, audio, or timecode.
Thanks...
JJ

i think what you're looking for is "open in timeline".
just create a new multicam clip (doesn't matter what you put inside it), than right click on the multicam clip an click on "open in timeline" you can than add clips, tracks (camera angles) and manually or automatically (only DR17) sync your clips however you like.

Version 17 can do this. 16 can't.

the only thing they added for that is the in timeline autosync. everything else should be the same in 16 as far as I'm aware.

There are two more methods for creating Multicam in 17, including the one asked about here.
