Sync and Link audio???

I am a current Vegas Pro 8c user but am considering switching to Edius due to one fatal issue I am having with eh NLE. I am shooting a documentary with a Panasonic GH1 dSLR and am having to acquire all of my audio from a separate device. This requires me to sync all of my audio in post. In Vegas Pro 8c I am unable to link the audio to the video and put it in a different "bin" for organizational purposes. I have to keep all the synced audio clips on the time line. This would be fine if I were doing a commercial or short film, but I am shooting a feature length doc with hours upon hours of footage. When I edited with Avid years ago, there used to be a way to save synced audio to a bin.

I basically wanted to know if Edius is capable of either allowing a sync and link so it can be placed in another bin or if there is an other organizational technique that I can use other than keeping hundreds of clips on a time line. Luckily I'm at beginning of filming, so I'm just trying to figure out what NLE I am going to use for this.

Thanks!
 
You can link any clips together by highlighting them, then right clicking and choosing Group or use the keyboard shortcut, G. You can then drag them into whatever folder you like in the Bin.

Click to expand...

I realize that you can move the data around from time-line to bin, but it does not link the clips by just doing that.

Here's my steps:

1) Open video clip
2) Open separate audio clip
3) Sync up audio to video clip
4) Select both and group
5) drag both file into bin "synced audio"

Here is the issue, when I drag the video file back to time-line from that bin, only the video is dragged in. This does not actually link the video to the audio.

Are there any ways to do this?
 
Hmmm. It does copy both audio and video clips to the bin, but it did so in separate files. I will need to check on that. Meanwhile it will work if you group the 2 together and then right click and select Copy to Bin as a Sequence.
 
You may have the audio icon crossed out.

When draging cips back from the bin, you can swich off the audio or video. So only the other remains.

Check out your icons above the timeline and the specker icon does not have a red line through it.

This may be the problem.
