Multiclip dilemma
I am working on a concert movie shot 35 years ago and never completed. My media files are digital transfers of old 16mm BW reels that contain all the footage from the three camera shoot. Each reel is one large file. The reels were not very well catalogued and the various film clips are all over the map. Shots of a scene from one camera are often followed by the same scene from a different camera. A real dogs breakfast. After much work I have managed to separate and sync the clips to the sound track.
I now have a mess of clips on three video tracks (that represent the three cameras) that I would like to make into three angle multiclips, one for each song. The clips often come fom one or two large files. Here is a screen shot of one song. (ignore the selected gap)
My problem is that I would like to fill the gap at the start of each track with black(slug?) to maintain sync and I'm not sure how to do that. When I add a slug and try to make a multiclip with all the clips, I get some pretty weird sync things happening. Nesting the clips seemed to be the answer but FCP will not make a multiclip with nested sequences. I want to make some new clips that look like this:
and that have all the clips in them still synced up. How do I make one clip from a bunch of clips and gaps (spaces)?
