Merge Clips command for dual-system sound support
Recording audio in the field with a dedicated sound
recorder and high-quality, specialized microphones
produces optimal sound for film and video production.
This time-honored technique is now used to overcome
the limitations of the microphones built into DSLR
cameras that shoot HD video, and to capture audio for
digital cinema cameras such as the RED ONE and Silicon
Imaging SI-2K. Traditionally, the process of combining
field audio with camera footage in post-production has
been time-consuming and tedious. Using the new Merge
Clips feature in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, you quickly
can create clips that combine separate audio and video
source files. The Merge Clips dialog box lets you choose
In points and Out points, timecode, or a numbered clip
marker as the sync reference. The ability to use In and Out points as sync references is essential
when matching audio clips to video clips that were shot on DSLR cameras, which typically do not
supply timecode without additional software or special plug-ins. Referencing a numbered clip
