Sync video with several audio tracks

PostWed Jan 27, 2021 10:55 am

Hello Everyone,

I don't manage to make a multiclip with several audio tracks in DR.
(DR just wants to sync 1 audio track ??? ... this is weird ...)
I want to sync a video clip with several mono audio tracks ( 8 )
So that i can make my edit using 2 of them and then when i use match frame : i can find again all my audio tracks in source monitor in order to "conform" my edit.

Please help !!
I try to do this since a while and don't find ...
for my last project I had to sync all my mono audio tracks in PROTOOLS first to end up with an audio multitrack to then import it un DR in order to be able to sync it with video ....

Resolve 16 and earlier can only Sync one audio file to a video file. The ability to Sync multiple audio files to a single video file was added in version 17, which is still in Beta.

That said, Multicam is a completely different operation.

Soooo....which process are you using? Sync, or Multicam?

Thank you very much for answering !!!

I use SYNC and not multicam ... and i work on DR 16

I think i should upgrade to 17 then ... is it OK to open projects started with DR16 in DR17 ?

As you mention, maybe I should try to use MULTICAM ...

You should definitely backup your databases and export active projects. Version 17 will require a database upgrade, and you can't undo that. So if you decide to upgrade to 17, any work you do there can't be opened in any earlier version.
