I ended up performing a manual stringout using the timecode. I set the sequence to begin at the start timecode of my first clip and inserted Cam A in track 2 and Cam B in track 3. Track one contained the black video which I later deleted. Once the clips were laid in the sequence I extracted the blank space between the clips being careful not to disrupt the sync. I then nested the sequence in another sequence and enabled the multicam. It worked great. I am pleased with the process and the results but I hope that adobe adds a little automation to expedite the process.
Thanks again to you both.
