I inserted both videos onto the timeline, Tracks 1 and 2.
I was trying to sync the sound (I had clapped my hands) and when I clicked on play I could hear both sound tracks, out of sync. But no matter which clip or Track I clicked on, it always showed the same video from only one of the tracks. I cannot get it to switch.
The sound track also sounded like an echo chamber, or 'reverb'. I tried to sync them by unlinking and moving the audio tracks but I never got very close. No matter whether I moved one track forward or backward the difference always seemed the same.
So I started over, watched expanded timelines down to the hundredth of a second to know when the 'clap' occurred and then trimmed each video separately.
Now I have the two trimmed video clips on tracks 1 and 2. The sound seems to be only coming from one track, so either I did an amazing job of syncing them, or PD11 is only playing one video AND one audio track.
So I would like to know how I can, when there are two video clips in the timeline, switch them back and forth in the Preview window?
And further:
I want to switch views back and forth. In the past I would have made several small edited clips and then eventually placed them one by one on a timeline. But there must be a better way, right? Why else would there be up to 100 tracks available?
I have looked in the PD11 book and can't find any answers.
Thanks!
