Syncing S3D (Stereoscopic 3D) footage with Audio - HELP!!

[John Le]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how do I sync audio with a S3D clip. I recently shot a lot of footage in which the audio was recorded separately from the video , and the method we decided use to sync the footage with the audio was with the use of the reliable Clapper.

Normally, with regular footage, you would just sync it up on a timeline and the use auto sync to create a sub clip, or just use the autosync function, but because the footage is S3D (Stereoscopic 3D) Avid Media Composer doesn't allow you to do it... Or maybe I am just doing it wrong...

Can someone Help me, as I cannot edit the footage if I can't sync the audio, and using sub sequences as clips is very cumbersome and is not practical.

Help!...

Thanks in advance,

John Le

In the bin, mark an IN at the sync point for each eye and audio. Select all three and "create stereo clip". Make sure you set the S3D columns for LEFT, RIGHT, and any visual flip/flops as needed if a mirror rig was used.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that,

I Tried what you said, but for some reason the audio clip was not muxxed with the stereoclip.... What might be the problem?
