With your second method you need to give lots of room for the tracks to move into alignment as it will not move the video track. Your ambient track starts before the video and as such will not sync. The way around is either to move video track up timeline before trying to sync or shorten the audio tracks . If you have breaks in recording for each camera I found it easier to place on the timeline before asking Resolve to sync. Found this more successful in getting sync. I too use several timelines but in your example of method one I actually export the mix track to a wav file that I keep with the everything else in the project folder. I then bring into multicam and mute the multicam audio. That way it doesn't matter which multicam selection is used the multicam audio is not used only the extra audio track that I have mixed which is not effected by multicam edit. My project usually then contains several timelines. Initial sync, audio mix, multicam and a flattened multicam. I do not change any lengths or positions on timeline until I am happy with flattened finished project as until this time all timelines are in sync so can go back to any for changes.
Wow thanks so much Ronald, that's great - yeah I've used the "have the same audio on each multicam angle audio track" before as well :) :) Thanks again for the great comment :)
Thank you. I am finding I cant right click on audio and video seperatly and set a differnt angle. Selecting mic right clicking on audio also changes the video and vice versa?
@@JasonRobertsVideo first of all.. just being able to select all my footage in the timeline and click auto align and all the clips get aligned. Second not so many steps before being able to start working on the multicam. Third.. more rock solid auto align, maybe use that neural engine to get better chances of it recognizing the audio of all the tracks. I tried this on a wedding video im editing and it ended up putting each clip on a separate track. So i had like 80 tracks up and down. So basically i just said.. f-it.. went to syncaila it lined everything up nice and fast went in timeline and started editing.
Yes sometimes align by waveform doesn't work even though I can visually look at the waveforms and tell where they are the same so neural engine might be able to do this better, that's a great idea. :) :)
We are moving from Final Cut to Resolve, and this is one of our pain points. In Final Cut we can select multiple audio "angles" for a Multicam and all of those audio lanes show up in the timeline we are cutting and we can adjust those as we switch. Method 2 is not a bad work around, but it is still not ideal.
Hi Great video. Is there a way to switch multiple clips angle at the same time? Like selecting multiple clips and assigning all of them to the same angle, I have a lot of cuts and it's very tedious to set them one by one. Shift+cmd doesn't work for that purpose.
Thank you for the very clear explanation! However, I'm still wondering if I should handle the audio first before cutting the video? I’m currently working on a project with four cameras (each recording its own audio track) plus two main microphones for sound. The issue I’m facing now is that I can only use one audio track when I edit the multicam clip. If I want to use the mix of those two main microphones after my multicam editing, I can’t sync them anymore. How should I resolve this?
I see your multicam ended up giving you mono tracks for the audio they recorded. Is there a way to do this? My multicam didn't give me settings for audio and the result was one stereo audio track.
The problem with this is that if you're cutting a feature film with 20-80 multicam objects every single day of production shooting for 20-50 days, this workflow is a massive pain in the ass, and frankly unworkable. I really hope resolve can come up with a way to globally make these moves to all 20-80 multicam objects at once and get moving. In avid you just sync it, group it, ,hey, all the mic channels are there AND they have mic labels available per how the mixer on set used them, in regions in the timeline and track patching and easy swap channel on regions in the timeline already. I'd love to hear if there IS some global way to apply this to a shit-ton of multicam clips at once. I recently cut a feature film in resolve that was shot dual cam and this was a massive problem and I ended up just not using multicam at all which obviously slowed the process down. If there truly is a way to manage this for big produciton days with tons of record/stop resets like a feature film situation is going to have, I'm all ears. Obviously there are workarounds like having a sync map with the mic stack and separately the multicam ojects with video only on top. This sucks because then you're not working in proper scene bins, AND you don't have offset sync indicators if stuff ggoees out which is just dangerous. They really really need to rethink this thing. It's bad. I'm on 18.6 which is what I did that feature in, I'm not that optimistic that version 19 solved, but i'll check it out and see if they've improved anything.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Having said that - the next time I open Resolve and my project, and go into my timeline audio, all the settings have been lost. How do I save my Mixer settings?
I am recording using 4 GoPro time coded cameras. I am using 2 sets of Rode transmitter/receiver sets. I need to record 4 different people. Can I use the cameras not recording the Rode reciever to record ambient sounds? How do I use Divinci to sync all these sounds.
Great videos! You have another one about text based editing. I did a remot podcast, that has two video and audio streams. How do I combine multicam and text based editing?
When I add the multicam clip (3 video and 2 audio) into my timeline, I ONLY see one video and audio clip. I know how to change the audio and video tracks in edit, but JUST LIKE YOU HAVE AT 1:24, I'd rather it load all the videos and audio synced into different audio/video tracks, how do I fix this?
Has anyone had any issues with their PreMix missing audio? I have a few pockets where blank audio pockets and I checked the audio files I treated in Fairlight and they are not muted during the silent moments. P.S. I'm working with 3+ hours of audio so at the moment I'm assuming it was a rendering issue but I'll respond to myself if I find the cause and fix.
It's pretty asinine that you have to manually duck the audio on the lav tracks. Resolve should be smart enough to be able to follow the correct mic when switching camera angles.

Yay! Thanks! Glad I could help! :) :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo You have no idea! :)

Thanks Jason. I appreciate you gave time for this. Thanks👍
No problem - you're welcome :) :)
You are a genius and a savior, I was about to break my PC but you saved it!!! Thanks a ton.
Haha - glad I saved the PC!! :) :)
Nice tutorial.. but i think blackmagic should simplify this. It just seems like an overcomplicated process for no reason.
Thanks! :) :) What would you like to see changed?

This was a total lifesaver, thank you!

Hey man i am having a problem i am not able to see the multi track option is not showing in fairlight format
I am recording using 4 GoPro time coded cameras. I am using 2 sets of Rode transmitter/receiver sets. I need to record 4 different people. Can I use the cameras not recording the Rode reciever to record ambient sounds? How do I use Divinci to sync all these sounds.
You could use a clap sync / audible slate sync and then align the ambient audio tracks to the time code tracks using that.
Great videos! You have another one about text based editing. I did a remot podcast, that has two video and audio streams. How do I combine multicam and text based editing?
Thanks! Create the multicam clip, then you can transcribe it, edit and then add to the timeline just like a regular clip :) :)
When I add the multicam clip (3 video and 2 audio) into my timeline, I ONLY see one video and audio clip. I know how to change the audio and video tracks in edit, but JUST LIKE YOU HAVE AT 1:24, I'd rather it load all the videos and audio synced into different audio/video tracks, how do I fix this?
nvm figured it out by copying you exactly thanks
Great to hear :) :)
You’re awesome! Thank you sooooo much!
Wow thanks so much - you are so welcome :) :)
How do you disable an audio track/mic?
Everytime I cut in multicam sometimes the other audio pops up.
I think removing it will be much easier
If you want to delete/disable in the multicam clip, alt click an audio clip and either delete it or hit D to disable it
Has anyone had any issues with their PreMix missing audio?
I have a few pockets where blank audio pockets and I checked the audio files I treated in Fairlight and they are not muted during the silent moments.
P.S. I'm working with 3+ hours of audio so at the moment I'm assuming it was a rendering issue but I'll respond to myself if I find the cause and fix.
Just a rending glitch people! Nothing to be alarmed by.
ALT D deleted all track and videos on windows.
It's pretty asinine that you have to manually duck the audio on the lav tracks. Resolve should be smart enough to be able to follow the correct mic when switching camera angles.
Hopefully we'll get better multitrack multicam audio support in a future version :) :)
