Multi-Cam, Multi-clip sync

Good Morning Ya'll.

I'm working on a huge conference video using 2 cameras and audio clips from a Tascam. Each camera recorded about 30 Clips each ( no timecode). I am guessing when they recorded the session, they would start and stop throughout the day. The tascam was left recording so I only have 4 clips from that which I can combine into one clip.

So, in editing I am trying to use multi-cam sync and it isn't syncing correctly between camA, camB, and the tascam audio. I've tried to sync using audio but I end up with huge gray spots once running the sync.

I really don't wanna have to go and manually sync everything.

Anyone have advice on how to get this working

There are several options regarding sync when you create a multicam clip.

If the cameras recorded audio then you can try that. You can also add a marker roughly at a place the clips would sync (it does not have to be perfect) and choose “on first marker” (or similar-not at my mac to check the details right now).

No, you label all the clips from Cam 1 as Cam 1, and all the clips from Cam 2 as Cam 2. All the Cam 1 clips will be one lane, all the Cam 2 clips on another lane. If there are blank sections where no cameras were rolling you can just not edit when into the project. Just edit the sections where you have video.
