Varispeed and Audio Workflow

[Thomas Sidney McCallum]

Not sure if this would speed things up for you by getting you in the ball park, but if you could find the end of your audio and corresponding end of your video clip, then lay them both on the Premiere timeline, then adjust speed of the video clip until you get the video and the audio to line up, wouldn't that get your slow-mo back to normal speed and then line up with the audio? Haven't tried anything like that but intuitively it seems like it might work. Then, when you get the two clips lined up you could make your edit cuts on audio and video at the same places.

The issue is that the sound guy was recording all day. The cameras werent jam synced so theres no start stop. So far my workflow in importing batches of files ( sorting by Recorded Frame Rate ) into Premiere and Interpreting the footage to the Recorded Frame Rate, then sorting by starting timecode and making a new sequence at 23.976 per event. Its working. So now I get to see all the slow motion content in a realtime timeline...................but Ive burned through like 2 cartons of smokes.......

Yeah, In retrospect I was looking at it kinda backwards.

Its all good! Thanks for looking at the post. Just trying to make sure Im not a complete idiot. I mean I am for allowing this whole thing to happen in the first place.

This may work, depending on your overall workflow:

In Premiere Pro, you can merge clips on the timeline. Once the audio and video are aligned, select both the audio and video, right-click in the timeline, and choose "Merge Clips." This will create a new item in your project bin that acts as a single clip.

NOTE: I believe there are some limitations to using merged clips, especially when going back out via XML. Double-check the help file on "Merged clips." (I'm typing on my phone right now and can't easily produce a link.)
