Multi-Camera EDL to Speedgrade

Hello,
I have a multi-camera project edited using nested 4 synced cameras. I have tried to export an EDL and import into Speedgrade but I get a FPS error (where the fps are correct) and also I can't relink any media associated with the multi-camera edit in Sg.
Is this possible? Or does the EDL and Speedgrade not know how to locate the footage used in the multi-camera edit.
I am currently trying to use the Send To Sg option but wish I didn't have to because of the massive .dpx file creation and storage necessary.
This is a 4CAM 3 hour music performance so keeping data amounts down is helpful. I'm only trying to send one song at a time but still, lots of time and data for each.
thanks for any input!!

You have what consolidate the multi camera edit in only one track, export to ProRes or Cineform (for safe storage), and export too an EDL (reverse asemble:http://blogs.adobe.com/movingcolors/2013/02/21/super-easy-edl-workflow -in-speedgrade/) . Better divide the whole in small parts, it is more reliable. It should works fine.

Multi camera sequence after Speedgrade

I put a multi camera sequence together and it worked quite well, especially the sync based on audio. I edited my timeline and sent it to Speedgrade. When it came back from Speedgrade I found there were instances where I could no longer access my multiple angles. In the multicam preview in my program window I can only see one camera where there should be two. Some clips are fine but not sure why I can't access all the clips I need?

No there is no angle to change. I've attached two clips, one that still shows two angles and one that only shows one even though both have two cameras in the original setup. The preview mode in the project monitor shows neither.
Prior to the Speedgrade round trip they had all been visible.

Speedgrade & Multi-Camera Source Sequences

Hi Everyone,
I just finished cutting an instrcutional video in Pr CS6. It was shot with 3 cameras and I have used the Multic-Camera Source function in PrCS6. It's been great, really handy. Now that I have sent the project to Speedgrade CS6, Sg is unable to open those clips that are in Multi-Camera Source Sequences in Pr. This kind of makes sense since Pr isn't directly referencing that specific clip, but pulling a section from the multi-camera clips. I'm afraid to ask, but is there a way to avoid this problem? The .mov and .mts files open in Sg but those that are in a Multi-Camera Source Seequences do not open.
Thank you so much for you time and knowledge.

You can see a good tutorial on the entire process here - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/multicamera-workflows-with-premiere-pro/
The help page also gives step by step - Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Multi-camera editing workflow. I was talking about step 4. Create a multi-camera target sequence.

A Better Way to do Multi-Camera

I am able to do multi-camera edits, synchonization and playback but I suspect I am doing it inefficiently. All of the tutorials I've seen start with only the clips that will participate in the multi-cam ALONE in a sequence. And I know all the steps from there. But what I don't know is how to efficiently proceed if there are may clips in a sequence and I only want to do multi-cam on one stack of clips in the sequence. For instance, let's say that I have 10 clips on the timeline. All are on video and audio tracks 1. But the 6th clip also has multi-cam clips on video and audio tracks 2-4. What I currently do is
1. copy these clips (only the clips located in the 6th spot tracks 1-4 on the timeline but not the entire sequence)
2. paste them to a new sequence (sequence #2)
3. create another new sequence (sequence #3)
4. drag sequence #2 into sequence #3)
I know all the multi-cam steps after this.
The question is: is this the most efficient way to do this when I'm starting with a sequence that has clips on them other than the ones that I want to participate in multi-cam. I'm creating 2 new sequences to accomplish this. Can it be done in only one new sequence?

I edit a lot of things the same way you are talking about when you have many clips on video 1 and then just a few where there are mulitple cameras.
If there are only 2 shots (Video 1 and Video 2) here is what I do.
1. Line up Video 2 over top of Video 1 in the proper place.
2. Right click on the clip in Video 2 and select "Unlink" (Unlinking will unlink the audio and video. You do this so that when you cut video 2 you do not also cut the audio)
3. Place the CTI so that it is on your Video 2 Clip and then double click on that clip. This will open the clip in your Source Monitor.
4. BEFORE moving the CTI, Right Click on the tab of your Program Monitor and select "Gang Source and Program".
5. Now turn off the eyeball on Video 2
6. When you scrub through the timeline you will see both your video in both the Program and Source monitors moving. Unfortuantely you cannot just play the video and watch both. You can play it and watch the Program monitor and when you stop the Source monitor will catch up.
7. Use the Cut tool to cut out spots of Video 2 so you can see Video 1.
8. One tip is that if you are going to cut the very first part of Video 2 the best thing to do is to get the CTI where you want Video 2 to start and then use your selection tool to just trim it to that spot. If you cut it and delete it you will loos your video in the source monitor. Not that big of a deal because all you have to do is Double Click on it again and re-select Gange Source and Program, but it saves you from having to mess with it.
If I have 3 or more video clips I just highlight them all and right click and select "Nest". That will make your new sequence for you with all your clips you selected. Just then do a normal Multi Cam edit.
Hope this helps some!

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

VDRAVES
Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.

Multi cam synced, can't create the new seq from clip

multi cam work flow. trying to follow through the tutorials and help - but stuck. I have synced 2 cams with audio, next step says to create new sequence from clip - but when I do all I get is a 1 second sequence (it should have been 15mins. Tried all the methods listed, now randomly trying select all, targets tracks, etc, ?

edit -
That helped, back at it - thanks. New trouble - although I can now make the multi-cam target sequence of the correct duration, I move into program monitor for editing the multi cam display enabled, the separate sources/cams no longer show in the window... it's just blank. I've checked my vid drivers- up to date with manufacturer (not windows) updates.

Multi cam shoot using P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions

multi cam shoot using P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions. We were using free TC. I want to a large # of clips from both cams. and have them move to the correct TC position on the timline. In Nuendo eith audio u hit apple a or ctrl a right click move to orgin. Avid will take care of it for u. FCP???

If you read the "Apple Pro Training Sereis; Final Cut Pro 5" book, it's very easy. You can sync the clips manually by setting In or Out points, specifying TC, or using one of the two Aux TC fields. Since this is the first, and most basic step in doing Multiclip editing, I'd suggest you get the book, or read the appropriate section of the User Manual. I don't think anyone wants to post a full "how to" article in a forum.
It can be done, you're clips have to all have been recorded with synced TC, or they simply won't sync up in any NLE. Read the book. Cause even if I did have the time to explain FCP's Multiclip editing in this forum, you'd still have questions that are in the book.
If you actually walk through the first steps of building a Multiclip to edit, it's blatatnly obvious in the first step. I'd give it a try first.
Problem is the DVCPRO-HD codec is going to require a higher end Mac with tons of RAM and either RAID, or internal drives to do a DVCPRO-HD Multiclip, as DVCPRO-HD (P2) is a pretty high bandwidth codec. I use it daily, I know, it takes horsepower to do.

How to add newly imported audio - as a new storyline/angle to existing multi cam Project??

I have a 6 camera multi cam Music Video Project I have been working on in depth for 5 days. The "band" has sent me a new & improved .wav file to replace the audio I have been working with on one "song". I have imported it into the event, cannot figure out how to add it as a new angle (that I will manually sync on the timeline) and then make it the active audio monitor angle. I see ways to "connect it" but not how to have it appear in the 6up display & on its own story/time line in the precision editor. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am losing mu mind. Please help?
Thanks

Man oh man. I need to take a break & eat somthing, how embarassing. I swear I knew that but had an attack of hysterical blindness or... the disclose arrow>add new... Thank You Tom for your quick & thouriough reply. Have a swell holiday.

"Flatten" option for multi-camera is gone in new version of CC

It has been a couple months since I have used this feature, but it is gone now. Now when I right click on a multi-camera clip, the only option is "Enable" (or disable by uncheking it). The option to "Flatten"was a huge benefit, and it was sorely lacking in CS6. Please tell me that this feature is coming back, or more importantly how to get it back. I am working on a whole bunch of multicamera projects this month.
Thanks,
John

The flatten command remains for me on 7.2 running OSX 10.8.5, for multicam sequences created through the Project panel and by the old method of nesting a sequence in another sequence.
As evidence that this is CC7.2, note that two instances of the Media Browser are open, which was not possible until the new update.
I'm not suggesting that the command is missing in your case but only certifying that it has not been removed altogether. The more info you can provide about your case, the better the chance that we'll be able to figure out what's going on.

What is best practice for multi camera edit with differing lengths?

I have three cameras that took video of an engagement party. Camera A and B took it all (with some early extra material exclusive to each camera). Camera C took some, then stopped, then took more.
So I have four sets of clips - A and B which are complete, then C then D.
Should I create sequence 1 with A, B and C synchonised, then create sequence 2 with A, B and D synchronised, then sequence 3 with sundry early non-multi camera clips, plus sequence 1 plus sequence 2 then late non-multi camera clips?
Or can I synchronise A, B and C, then on the same timeline synchronise A, B and D? I'm concerned that the second synchronisation will put C out of sync.
What is the best way to approach this?
Thanks in advance.

A and B which are complete, then C then D.
I think you're looking at this in the wrong way. You have only three cameras, A, B and C, but you don't really have a D camera, as those are just other clips from camera C. You might call them C1 and C2 if you like, but calling them D seems to be confusing the issue, as it's still only three cameras, and three shots to choose from when cutting the sequence. (Except for the gap between C clips, where you will have only the A and B shots to choose.)
You can absolutely sync all the clips form camera C on the same sequence as A and B. And it will probably be easier to do so.

Need help with the new Multi-cam feature in CC

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Multi-cam feature in CC and have a few questions, so would be happy with help/advice for any of the issues below. The platform is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
The first question is what am I doing wrong? This question relates to the fact I'm trying to use Multi-cam and encountering a lot of frustrating glitches, as sometimes it seems to work and at others it doesn't.
The video I'm trying to edit comes from a dance show so I created a sequence called Act 1. I then highlighted the six clips of Act 1 with Cam 01 at the top, as I wanted the audio from this clip and made a Multi-cam feature using the audio synch. I dragged it to the sequence, set the prog window to Multi-cam and was amazed at how well it had synchronised all clips, as I could see all six clips with great audio synch from Cam 01. So far so good and after thinking how brilliant it was, things went downhill from there
I started by using ripple delete to drag to the start of Act one and then tried editing with Multi-cam. That's where I encountered the first problem, as sometimes it seemed to toggle between cams but didn't put edit points in and the selected cam had a yellow border and not a red one. At other times it inserted edit points when I changed cams and the selected cam has a red border. I can't work out what I'm doing, or not doing for this to happen. Can anyone help please?
The second question is how do I cut audio and video at exactly the same point, as I want to edit out pauses in between the different elements of the actual dance show. When I use the razor tool in Multi-cam it only cuts the video. I tried highliting audio and video using shift, but to no effect. If it matters audio and video are shown as linked when I right click. I thought I might get it to work if I revealed all original clips within the MC nest using the technique shown in "Adobe Learn." This was Ctrl double click, but it resulted in the third problem.
When I tried Ctrl double click I ended up with only Cam 02 showing in the V2 track and after some frustrating attempts at resolving this issue I decided to start all over again. I deleted the PP project and created a new one, importing everything again. I followed exactly the same procedure as I originally did to create a Multi-cam nest, but when I dragged it to the new sequence I saw Cam 02 in V2 of the sequence, which is the same as it was before I deleted the original project. Premiere Pro seems to have annoyingly remembered the actions that went wrong, so please can anyone tell me how to tell Premiere Pro not to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me on any of the issues.

In Premiere Pro, multi-camera is accomplished by nesting a sequence. There's a new, more automated way of doing this in CC. View the steps here: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/a-quick-walkthrough-of-editing-a-multi-camera-s equence-with-clips-synchronized-by-audio.html
HOWEVER, you must be warned that multi-cam in CC is currently broken. A patch is in the works, but until it is released you should not use multi-cam in CC.

Premiere Pro Multi-Cam Angles on External Monitor

On Mac OS 10.10.3 with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and Premiere Pro CC 8.2...
Is there a way to show multi-cam angles on an external monitor connected to the intensity via HDMI? Enabling "multi-cam" in my timeline only shows the angles on my computer, not the external monitor. The external monitor only shows the active angle.
The feature is available in FCP7 with the click of a button --> show multicam angles.

One editor's huge oversight is another editors yawn, of course. But for those like yourself doing much multi-cam with clients looking over their shoulder, yes, this would be a biggie. And you'll not find any disagreement about wanting it. So ... how about filing a bug/feature report about this? The teams actually do quantify these over time, and the bean counters look at these numbers as part of the logic of where they allow budget for changes/fixes to be allocated. So the more filed the better chance we'll get something like this changed.

Multi Cam Not Working For Me

I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 on a new 2013 Mac Pro. I'm sure it's a user error, but here's the problem. When I create a multi cam clip, I'm not seeing two camera angles in my viewer. I am definitley turning "view angles" on. Here's what I'm seeing.

Luis,
I'm not sure what you mean by extended view but here is a look at each of the original clips inside inspector.
I mean at the bottom of the Inspector, where you see "Basic", click and choose "Extended".
The fact that you are not sure suggests to me that maybe the angle names are not set right after all.
See the picture below. You need different angle names to tell FCP X that the clips must be in different angles.
(Sometimes the software figures it out on its own, sometimes it doesn't - so I always tell it specifically :-))

In my trial version of ppcs6 I can't find the multi-cam monitor

The particular ways I synced angles in cs5.5 have been removed but I still need the stand alone multi-cam monitor and I can't find it.

For CS6 it's under the Window menu. For CC7 it's no longer a stand alone window. You call up the mode with the wrench under the Program Monitor.
