Can't nudge my edited Multi-Cam sequence forward with the Track Select Tool

Hello, Good People of this forum,
I can't move it forward using the Track Select Tool. I checks to make sure the mother tracks weren't locked and I can move that timeline fine.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am having a similar issue. My system and FCP are latest updates.
I have a set of clips shot with one tripod camera for the full length, and what looks like one or two other "roving" cameras getting closeups and other angles, but start and top points (not runnign the entire interview). Effectively these are B roll with matching audio.
If I run Sync Clips, it makes a huge mess piling them all one atop another. The audio souds like a party, not a conversation with two people.
When I make a Multicam clip, FCP does a "pretty good job" but some short clips are WAY out of sync...
Then it becomes a puzzle to find where they go.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for monitoring the video of the track on which I have just clicked the clip it's on? the one Multiclip when I am done?
Also, ••• How do I close the Timeline back down to

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Editing multi‑camera sequences (CS6)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/editing-multi-camera-sequences1.html

According to the tutorial at http://www.video2brain.com/en/videos-13067.htm audio now defaults not to Track 1 of the source sequence as it used to, but to the video first selected when choosing between the multiple cameras.
I understand TimB was wishing to mix audio in the audio mixer in the source sequences and apply that to the multicam sequence without export audio and re-importing.
According to my notes to self in June 2012 when I used CS6 to do a multicam project, I wrote:
“To enable audio for all cameras, right click on the Source Sequence and ‘Open in Timeline’
Enable all the audio tracks you want.”
And that was all.
However the PremPro instructions for CS6 says:
Enabling audio in the multi-camera source sequence
By default, Premiere Pro only enables audio channel one in the multi-camera source sequence. For multi-camera editing workflow, enable each audio track manually before editing the target sequence. To enable audio tracks for the multi-camera source sequence, do the following:
1. Open the multi-camera source sequence by selecting the multi-camera source sequence icon in the Project panel, right-click
(Win) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the icon, and then choose Open In Timeline.
2. The Timeline opens. Select the audio tracks, and then enable the other audio tracks by clicking the Toggle Track Output
button for each audio track.
3. Now that all audio tracks are enabled, you can close the sequence
This is how I remember it but it doesn’t gel with TimB’s post. There are two sections in the Help pdf, one for CS5.5 (and I think CS5) and a separate one for CS6 as quoted above.

Why can't I move artwork with the perspective selection tool?

I created a carpet and decorated it with symbols. When I tried to place it in the perspective grid with the perspective tool, it wouldn't move. I can move it fine with the selection tool and there's a bounding box but nothing happens when I use the perspective selection tool.
Need help. Thanks.

You have to make sure that one of the grids (Left, Right, Horizontal) is active.
Just check the widget that appears when you select the Perspective Grid Tool. You can click on those sides of the cube with the Perspective Grid or the Perspective Selection Tool to make one of them active. You can also press the key 1, 2 or 3 to make either of those grids active.
If you click on the circular portion outside the cube, none of the grids is active. Then you can't move the artwork with the Perspective Selection Tool. You can press the key 4 to make none of the grids active which is especially useful when you don't want your artwork to distort in perspective while still working with the Perspective Grid showing on the artboard.

Work flow? How to link multi-cam sequences for DVD output?

Pr cs4 (very new)
Still taking baby steps each day... please take my hand and help me!
Final output will be 2 DVD's (each DL) each about 2 hrs. Content are chamber music student groups in two recitals.
I have assets from two camera angles. I have successfully practiced on one of the groups performance (10 min.) following the steps illustrated in a multi-cam tutorial. http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0234
This leaves me with a great multi-cam sequence for that group located in the Project Panel, exactly what I want.
Now, I want to know what is the best method (workflow?) to ultimately produce a DVD containing about 10 of these type performances (one after the other) with chapter markings for each group, titles etc.?
I have yet to use Encore and I'm guessing that is where I'll send the finished edit for DVD production, though I don't know at what step I jump there?
Do I try to create one very long multi cam sequence of all the content, then send to Encore? Or can I create seperate multi-cam sequences (each performance) then link them together, adding transitions and make the DVD? This would be my preference to keep things more manageable, especially with audio synching.
With my practice multi-cam sequence on the timeline, I tried to drag the same sequence from the Project Panel to the end of the timeline to simulate how this would work, but it does not add to the timeline as a clip would.
This is probably childs play for you pro's, but we were all baby's at one time...I just happen to still be one!
Thanks for your patience and advice,
Kenny

Yes I did...now toss me a cookie please.
I am trying to quickly get up to speed in Pr CS4 to get this project completed. In the process, I'm trying to learn and understand the interface and correct terminology so as to make my questions intelligible to a community that posses vastly greater understanding than myself.
Is there anyone who can help with my main question at hand? Namely, how to go about creating a full length sequence (in the timeline) made via the nesting of synchronized multi-camera clips within a new "multi-cam sequence"?
As I said, I have completed a small test sequence in this fashion, nesting clips in a new sequence then using multi-cam monitor to record cuts. Now I need to add about 10 more of these together in a completed sequence to then send to DVD production.
Is this intelligible?
Thanks, Kenny

Editing multi-camera in CS6

Looking for this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/editing-multi-camera-sequences.html
But for CS6, not CS5.5 and earlier. This stuff has changed for CS6, but I can't seem to find the help documents that talk about it, and we don't yet have the PDFs to look stuff up in. Anyone show me where to find it?

There is a pretty simple way to sync multiple tracks of video on the timeline using unnumbered clip markers. Basically you find the frame in each track you want the all the tracks to sync to and in each track add an unnumber marker at that point. Then there is a command that will move the tracks to line up those unnumbered markers and, shazam, you are synced! Here is an excerpt from a help discussion from Adobe:
Synchronize clips with markers
Make sure that you’ve marked the sync points for each camera’s footage before you attempt to synchronize them. You can mark the sync points by setting similarly numbered markers for each clip or by reassigning each clip’s timecode. (See Add markers and Set timecode manually for a clip.)
Note: Premiere Pro uses an overwrite edit when synchronizing clips. Take care not to overwrite adjacent clips if you have multiple clips on the same track.
Select the clips you want to synchronize.
Target a track (by clicking its track header) to align the other clips to it. For example, if you synchronize clips on their Out point, the end of each clip aligns with the Out point of the targeted track. A clip will be trimmed if synchronization causes its In point to fall before the sequence zero point.
Note: If one track of a linked audio/video pair is unselected, the pair will become out of sync. Out-of-sync indicators will appear on the clips.
Choose Clip > Synchronize, and then choose one of the following options:
Clip Start
Synchronizes clips at their In points.
Clip End
Synchronizes clips at their Out points.
Timecode
Synchronizes clips to the specified timecode. If you use the hours value in source timecode as a camera designator, select the Ignore Hours option to use only minutes, seconds, and frames to synchronize clips.
Numbered Clip Marker
Synchronizes clips to the specified numbered clip marker. Choose the marker number to use from the Marker menu.
You can also use the Synchronize command to sync several video clips on separate tracks or unlinked audio and video tracks when you are not editing a multi-camera sequence.

Viewing multi-cam monitor for multi-cam sequences not on track 1

Hi,
I just found out that the multi-cam monitor in the Program Monitor goes blank if the multi-cam sequence is not on track 1. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

How do you toggle the track targeting so that you can see the multi-cam preview for two stacked multi-cam sequences? I'd like to cut between different takes and it'd be a pain to toggle every time. Final Cut Pro has no problem of doing this but it seems that Premiere is a little picky about track targeting. I attached an example of how the project would look like going through two takes of multi-cam sequences.

Multi-cam sequences not working right

Ok so I am working on this ballet and I have created multiple multi-camera edited sequences. I placed the edited multi-cam sequences all in a new sequence together and only one camera angle shows up. What am I doing wrong? And is there a limit on the number of sequences you should make that contain other sequences?

Personally, I like the workflow of taking each segment into Encore as its own timeline (as long as it was a logical unit to begin with - scene, musical number, etc.). Use playlist to do a play all, and the "scenes" are already set.
Did you do the test I suggested with one sequence? I just don't see how you could have the problem you had. I just did a quick test; edited multicam sequence brought into a new sequence: I see the edited version.
Are you sure you are bringing in the edited sequence and not the original (multi-video track) version?

Multi-Cam Sequence - Effects on Source Sequence Don't Apply

Project has multi-cam sequence (nested), with color correction and other effects applied to the source sequence. However, effects on the source sequence don't apply as they would with a normal nested sequence. I'm assuming there is a setting that I'm unaware of that would enable this functionality, but so far I've been unable to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It really was not necessary for me to determine that the effects were not properly applied, but since you asked, yes I did the blur test. I also have no idea why it does not work.
I have 4 hours of multicam footage and a client deadline fast approaching, and am feeling EXTREMELY frustrated that Adobe doesn't seem to have a proper help line phone number or chat through which I can promptly receive proper help after I have committed to this program for the next year of my professional life.

Multi Camera sequence went black (mostly)

So, I edited three separate multi camera sequences... They all looked great and I exported them through media encoder. When I went to look at my files one of the three had a really small file size and I noticed it was all black.
I went back into premeir pro cc and sure enough that multi cam seqence was all black as well (except about 3 seconds of footage right in the middle from two different cameras). Now when I go back to the original sequence (not the nested multi cam) It is just fine so I know the clips are still linked into PP. Also, I can make a new multi cam sequence from the original and it is just fine as well.
I think PP just F'd up... and unless someone can tell me how to go back in the file save history or something I'm sunk because premier auto saved when I last closed it. I'm seriously at a loss as to why this happened as it was just fine when I went to export it... or at least nearly immediately before. Why is there 3 seconds of footage in the middle of all black 47min sequence? and that 3 seconds is from inside of a 10 minute clip on the original un nested sequence so It's not as if just one video file was showing up.
Okay, so more than figuring out what happened I want to move on with my life. Is there anyway to copy the edit points onto a brand new multi cam sequence? Does anyone have any ideas what happened that I can undo?
Thanks,
Okay, so this is weird.... so, the original un nested sequence was 1:30 hours with 45 minutes of unused audio at the beginning. When I made my nested sequence for multi cam editing I selected the last 45 minutes and nested that. Everything functioned just fine, but somehow during export it took my multi cam sequence and added back in the 45 minutes of blank audio....so when I extended the multi cam sequence to 1:30 there was all my video... but my edits were all done on top of the audio. Seriously Stupid, and definitely a bug!!!
Is there any sort of file save history that I can revert to?

I accidentally found the auto-save folder which had 50+ versions of my project saved (thanks to no one, including Mark for pointing out that Premier Pro made new files each time it auto saved) And the issue is present in all of them, even back to a time when I am 100% positive I was working on the sequence inside of premier and it was displaying correctly.
So, that means that premier was not saving my file correctly, even though it was displaying correctly inside the program at that time. Then, when media encoder opened it for export the nested sequence was out of sync from the original, and today when I reopened it in premier it showed everything out of sync.
I'm using premier CC as a trial because I was considering upgrading from cs5 for the clip sync and increased features. Clip sync didn't work for my files so I had to use pluraleyes anyways and this bug I experienced today means that I lost 4hrs of work and 2 more hrs trying to figure out if I could recover my 4hrs of lost work. Now, I have to re-edit and I'll definitely be doing it in CS5

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.

Massive problems with nested multi-cam sequences

Hey all,
I'm absolutely pulling my hair out over some issues I'm having and hope somebody out there might have an answer. I'm creating a short interview project, including interviews of two people individually, with two separate cameras and external sound capture. My goal is to cut between their separate answers to each question. For each interview I created a multi-cam sequence within its own timeline. Then, in my master sequence, I used the source monitor to pull out the specific clips from each interview sequence which I wanted to include, and assembled them into the master timeline.
I'm having two difficulties. First, for whatever reason, I'm experiencing audio glitching when the cuts between sequence clips occur. The glitch is like an audio "scramble," lasts about a half second, plenty of time to be distracting and detract from the whole of the project. There are no such audio glitches present when viewing the interview sequences specifically. I had applied effects to the audio tracks both within the interview sequences and the master sequence. I've since disabled every effect but the problem persists, and it is still present upon rendering the master timeline. I have absolutely no idea what to do about this.
The second issue is more general. I've got my media cache on an internal SSD, and I'm pulling my media from an internal HDD, with Premiere Installed on a different SSD with my operating system. The two interview sequences play back wonderfully, no delays whatsoever. The master timeline, however, with all the clips extracted from the interview sequences, plays slow as molasses. It takes 10-15 seconds for the play head to even start moving once I click 'play', which has made this entire process excruciatingly difficult. Is this a known issue? Why would my performance be so completely degraded working with nested sequences? Isn't everything referencing the exact same files?
Ugh, long night working on this. Thank you for any help.

Well, I've come up with a terrible, but comical solution for the second issue which doesn't involve reworking anything. It turns out that, upon launching premiere, I can play the master sequence with nested multi-cam sequences a grand total of ONCE with minimal delay. If I stop the play through, then it will take 3-4 minutes to get the sequence playing again. Of course, the Premiere decides to hang when I try to close it after playing this master timeline, so I'm finding that I can inch my way through this project by (1) launching premiere, (2) playing the master sequence, (3) make the edits I need, (4) forcibly crash Premiere, and (5) relaunch Premiere and repeat. It's a terrible way to work, but the project is so close to completion that I'm willing to suffer through it.
As to issue 1, I've taken each offending clip, extending the audio track one or two frames in the beginning of each clip, and then use those frames to ramp the volume up from silent to 0db. This seems to avoid the brief moment of distortion at the beginning. Notably I did try your suggestion by going back to the original, source audio, but I was still getting the same issue. My work-around is the only solution I've been able to come up with.

Render slow after neat video nested multi cam sequence

Guys this is silly, usually i am rendering like lightning, but after a really dark shoot i needed neat video which has saved my life but after creating a multi cam sequence every time i go back to change something in the synced sequence the whole timeline in the cs6 edit goes back to all red line after i have already rendered, then it needs rendering all over again after the changes, but because of the neat video and effects its taking days? help steve

Ye Jim your right i have just been thinking to make sure i apply all effects when im ready, yikesss.

Issues with creating multi camera sequences

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 and I’ve just started experimenting with multi camera sequences and have two problems, one I can work around, the other I can’t.
First, if I take a series of video clips, add a marker to each clip to identify the sync point, name the marker, and subsequently create a multi camera source sequence, the option to use the marker as the sync point is disabled. If I leave the markers blank and don’t name them, it works. Is this a bug or intended behaviour of the application?
Second, and more problematic for me; if I create a multi camera source sequence using two or more video clips, all of which have a stereo soundtrack except for one clip, and that single clip has a 5.1 soundtrack, I cannot seem to force the sequence to use the audio from only one of the clips with a stereo soundtrack. Basically I want the audio to always originate from the first clip (camera 1) during the clip selection process. I’ve selected the clips in the right order and ensured all other settings are correct, but the 5.1 clip always take precedence.
If all the video clips contain the same format of audio (in my case all stereo or all 5.1), I can select which clip becomes the default no problem, it’s only when a 5.1 clip is included in the source clips when all the others are stereo. Is there a way to select the 5.1 clip and make it the (camera 1) audio source?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I'm guessing the marker thing is by design.
For the audio, once the sequence is created, just Mute all the stereo tracks.

I'm editing multi cam with 4 cameras and my program keeps freezing up.

I think that the only way to stop this from happening is to increase my RAM but I wanted to find out, what is the recommended solution? I'm using Premier Pro CC 2015. on Windows 8.1.

First, that video controller seems to be a board-mounted one ... not "bad" as far as those go, but without it's own supporting cast so to speak. It doesn't seem to have any v-RAM, I'm assuming just uses the RAM of the computer itself. And at 8Gb, that's ... very minimal for the CPU. It's got more guts to the video capability than my laptop does, but not enough to really carry the video weight.
Second, with only your system drive and one USB3.0 external, your drive capabilities are very low. If that external has a faster-than-normal cache-read/write performance, and the only thing on it was your footage (media), at least the media could get read into the process decently though with multi-cam sequences that's a harder workload than single-clip work. With that setup, however you've got your various parts of the process laid out, you simply don't have the capability to pass data back and forth at playback speeds. Not even close.
Even a second internal SSD that you could put project files, cache, database, & previews on would improve your performance. It would still be low, but not as way low. That's one of the frustrating things ... these video programs are huge suckers of computer hardware capability. My laptop runs Lightroom & even Photoshop just fine. It's worse than yours for trying to do video on, however. But ... when I got it, I hadn't yet started down the video processing trail. All of 2-1/2 years ago.
As we can afford it, that will go to my wife ... also a professional portrait photog. I'll get something vastly more potent for the ability to do some video work on it.
