Sync and Merge two audio files to a single video clip

cortex feature
2

There are 3 possible work arounds for this currently:

  1. Just sync part 1, deliver part 2 as wild track and let editorial handle it.
  2. Duplicate the video clip and deliver it twice, once with each audio (as @amy outlined here).
  3. See below:

Start with the approach outlined in #2, then:

  1. mark out on clip 1 after the first audio cuts out
  2. mark in on clip 2, 1 frame after the mark out for clip1
  3. Add these two clips to a single reel
  4. Create a file-per-reel deliverable with a broadcast wave file output (like a prores proxy file with ‘both’ selected for audio)
  5. Take the broadcast wave generated in step 4 back into Cortex
  6. Sync this to the original, full length picture clip.

Definitely a pain.

Unfortunately, it would require significant changes under the hood in order to support natively.
