I shot a sing and dance show along with a professional videographer who was
invited by the producer as a favor. Since it was going to be mulit-cam
editing, I kept my camera rolling until I switch tape for ease of
synchronization. I also told my other amateur friends to keep their cam
rolling but it didn't occur to me I need to ask the same of the
professional. In the end, the professional started and stopped his camera
several times per tape (minDV).
Now I'm the editor and I'm tearing my hair out trying to cut and synchronize
his video clips to the other clips. This is a very manual job; I have to
look for fast movement/sound or camera flash in the show and use this to
line up the different clips. Finding the "fast movement" is not always easy.
Perhaps next time I would bring my own camera flash and fire it every 5
minutes... (just kidding).
Is there perhaps some way to sync the clips automatically that I'm not aware
of? Maybe there is real-time code imprinted on his tape that keeps running
even when he stops the cam?
I'm using premiere pro 1.5 and my cam is trv900. I don't know what cam he
was using. It's a shoulder mount camera and he gave me miniDV tapes. I could
ask him if it would help.
