Ganging Footage in Monitors
The Gang function does not combine tracks into a synced relationship but locks monitors in sync so that you can move through footage in two or more monitors simultaneously. This function is convenient for viewing and marking the sequence and source material simultaneously, based on syncing of the position indicators in each monitor.
You can gang the Source monitor and any number of pop-up monitors with the Composer monitor. For instance, before editing them into a sequence, you can gang a music track in a pop-up monitor, source footage in the Source monitor, and a sequence in the Composer monitor. Then you can view the footage, adjust the sync points, and mark them before completing the edit.
To gang footage in monitors:
| 1. | |
Load a sequence into the Composer monitor.
|
| 2. | |
Load one or more clips into the Source monitor and pop-up monitors.
|
| 3. | |
Click the Gang button for each monitor that you want to synchronize
(the Record monitor is always ganged).
|
The button changes to green when the function is enabled.
 | |
The Gang button appears in the Other tab of the Command Palette; you
can map it to a button in the Tool palette or a key in the Keyboard palette.
|
| 4. | |
View the footage in any of the monitors using standard playback
methods.
|
As you move through footage in one monitor, the footage in all other
monitors freezes. The footage is updated when the play stops.
Simultaneous full-motion playback is not possible, although sync is
maintained at all times.
