VIRB Edit 5.1.4 will not Trim (Right or Left) in Multi Cam mode

Trying to edit a Multi Cam video. Angle B spans Angle A on both ends of the video. Using the Trim Right or Trim Left utilities in the Edit Video section of VIRB Edit does not excise the desired video elements. They do NOTHING.
  • The before and after overlapping parts cannot be trimmed, that is right. But you can easily delete them. They are automatically splitted. OnClick => DEL

    The Split button doesn't work either in this situation.

    Note - to get this reply posted I had to eliminate the special characters before DEL

    Views A and B are not aligned on the same track position at the same time.
  • The Split button doesn't work either in this situation.

    There is not need to, it already is. Click on the Clip above (where just Clip B is available) and hit DEL.
    Then only recordings with A + B will be in the timeline and can be splitted, trimmed and deleted.


  • Got that done - however, View A and View B are not synchronized? How can I synchronize them?
  • You can't. The MultiCam-feature only works completely automatic. It synch's the footage due to it's timestamp, and when something is not right with that (GPS signal not great, missing restart to overtake changed time, whatever) it is messed up!

    That is to prevent to use it with cameras from different manufacturer, I guess. But makes recordings useless, when something is wrong.

    Explained it here and how to prevent it:
    Remote control / Picture in Picture
    (And gave Garmin a hint how to resolve that issue, what has been ignored until now)


  • I guess my problem is that I didn't realize that the cameras had to be linked in Remote.

    I have now set one of my cameras up in Remote - do I have to do it to the other? Which of the cameras becomes the Master and which is the Slave? Both cameras were on at the time of setting Remote on one.
  • Not, they don't have to. Only the timestamp is what matters.
    But the remote-feature helps you to start the recording for both cameras (nearly) at the same time. It is not mandatory for Picture In Picture.
    You can find the how to in the User manual... One camera is the master, the other the slave. Which one, is your decision.

  • So - If I use the slider switch to turn the Master on to record, the slave will be instructed to record if it is in the near vicinity of the Master?
