Syncing- Convert compound to Multicam Clip- Use source audio

PostFri May 16, 2025 7:14 pm

I'm prepping a project in Resolve- yesterday I got this function to work in Resolve 20

I have four sources of audio to sync to one video- I create a compound clip, and then convert to Multicam clip- use source audio

I'm trying to bring clips into the timeline with all four sources. Not happening- worked yesterday.

What's going on? It's not letting me select A2-A4 after I convert. I've also tried "use adaptive audio"


This function should also be available with REGULAR compound clips if wanted-- ie allow someone to change the clip attributes as you would a regular clip

Syncing- Convert compound to Multicam Clip- Use source audio

My method is different and, I think, simpler and more versatile. Oh- and it works!

Take a peek here:

Joe- normally I sync like this BUT here are the issues--

I have four separate sources of audio that all rolled continuously so this method WILL NOT work.

This was not a traditional shoot- it was shot using Rode Wireless Pro audio transmitters which roll continuously so you can't link different points to several different clips.

Yes I could output a bunch of new audio tracks from the source files and link them so that I have the four mono ISO tracks.

I would much prefer to do what I am talking about-- make a compound clip or Multicam clip with four tracks. I got it working two days ago and haven't since.

Bumping- does anyone know how to get compounds to behave like this-- in premiere you can choose an option that says import compounds and sequences as separate clips to timeline. I know there is NOT a similar setting atm in resolve BUT the other day I got it working when making the Multicam clip have adaptive tracks.
