Two of the cameras are DSLRs so there are interruptions in the clips.
The third is a camcorder, which records continuously, but it has a 2GB file limit so I ended up with multiple clips.
I ended up with about 15 clips total which all needed to be synchronized to each other on 3 separate AV tracks.
This turned out to be an extremely painful job. It took me over 10 hours. My wrist still hurts.
I upgraded to PD10 finally. The "beat detection" feature was completely useless. The beats between the various clips do not line up at all.
The only way to sync was to manually line up the waveforms visually.
This is not a process I really wish to ever repeat again.
Is there any chance that a future version of PD will include a clip synchronization feature ?
This appears to be a feature of Final Cut (for Mac, and I use PC) or Adobe Premiere Pro (very pricey).
