Color correction in multicam source sequence

Hi everybody, this is really making me crazy.
I've created a multicam source sequence from three clips in the bin (3 camera angles).
I imported the newly created multicam source sequence in a new sequence and I began cutting it.
It's a 40 minutes theatre piece.
When I was at 20 minutes I realized that one camera has a slightly off white balance.
How do I make the color correction to only one camera angle in a multicam source sequence ?
If I open the multicam source sequence in the Source Monitor I can't drag any effect.
Thanks for your help.
JC

KGCW,
you da man!
That's what I nedded to know...
Thanks!

  • Why is premiere creating one really big clip instead of many smaller ones when I am trying to create multicam source sequences

    Ok I am trying to create multicam clips from a shoot.   I have 198 clips from two to three cameras and an audio source.   I have created multicam clips in the past by simply putting them all into one bin, selecting all, right click, Create multicam source sequence, and then it processes them and creates multicam clips for me to use to edit.
    I am doing that process now to only have PP make one really big clip instead of a bunch of little ones.   Help!  

    And the other thing I think of is that you opened up the multicamera sequence as a New Sequence From Clip, instead of Open in Timeline.
    That would give you one long flat sequence, but 198 panels if you opened it in your multicamera monitor

  • Color correction problem between original sequence and multicam sequence... Please help

    I used three camcorders to record a youth dance recital.  I created an orginal sequence for the three camcorders and another sequence using the multicam feature to edit the dances.  After I finished editing, I went back to the original sequence to make some color correction and brightness adjustments using the Fast Color Correction controls.  After that, I sent everything to Encore to create a DVD.  When I watched the DVD, I noticed some of my color correction settings were still off, so I went back to the orginal sequence to make some changes.  Unfortunately, the multicam sequence would not read the new settings.  After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the clip from the multicam sequence to read the clip from the original sequence, I decided to start over by clearing the Fast Color Correction controls from the clip.  The multicam sequence then adjusted back matching the original sequence.  However, when I started a new Fast Color Correction control in the original sequence, the multicam sequence would not take the new settings.  How to I get the mulitcam sequence to read the orginal sequence?

    Thank Jim for replying:
    I am stumped on this one.  I did a few radical tweeks and it did not take.  For example, I made one clip in the original sequence go completely dark.  However, the clip in the mulicam sequence did not change.
    I even deleted the render files and the work area render files and started over with making changes.  Nothing.  Any change I make on the original sequence will no longer adjust in the multicam sequence.
    Any last words of advice before I delete the entire multicam sequence and start over?  Thanks.

  • How to color correct an entire nested sequence?

    Hi Everyone,
    So I'm attempting to color correct a camera at a time (multiple clips from the same source clip) which in recent projects I did individually. Is there a way to select an entire string of clips and color correct them and apply all at once in a nested sequence or am I doomed to color each individual clip in the nested sequence with no selection and paste options? Thanks in advance guys.

    in sony vegas it would be a matter of placing all the same angle shots on one video track, then using the track fx to have one effect be applied to all the clips on that track. similar to how its done with audio in a daw. premiere doesn't have that feature and tries to make up for it with adjustment layers and nesting but its not the same. adjustment layer is easy unless the footage is mixed on the timeline, then you would have to try nesting footage on a separate track. nesting makes it messy to go back and edit, unlike the track based fx in sony vegas, so might do this as one of the last steps of the project.

  • Multicam source sequence - audio offset does not work when syncing via audio

    Working double sound with Canon 5D footage and syncing via audio is a big help, but the camera sound is one frame ahead of the video.
    Merge clips requires each v/a clip pair be selected individually AND can't be slipped after merging - so that's no good.
    Create multi-cam source sequence works a treat AND offers an audio offset BUT that does not appear to work when syncing via audio (I understand why you might think we wouldn't need it but...)
    Unlesss I'm missing something?

    I have the same problem. Syncing video via audio in multicam works perfectly on my 3 cam shoot but audio offset does not work. Had to do that on the sequence timeline afterwards.

  • Delayed playback after editing audio in a Multi-cam Source Sequence

    I have a Multi-cam Source Sequence (MSS).  It contains 3-cameras, only two of their audio tracks, plus two more audio tracks from separate audio recorders.  This MSS is, of course, embedded into my main timeline, where I've performed my cuts between cameras.  Playback has been beautiful and smooth until I mixed the audio levels between the various audio tracks in the MSS.  Now, back on my main program timeline, playback starts approximately 3 to 4 seconds after hitting the spacebar or L key.
    Some mixing was performed on the new Audio Clip Mixer.  Most mixing was done manually by adding and manipulating keyframes directly on the timeline.  I have Minimum Time Interval Thinning set to 400 ms, so that I don't get a million useless keyframes on my audio tracks when using either Audio Mixer.  For what it's worth, here's a screenshot of a portion of my MSS mix (approximately 1 minute, 30 seconds).  It is typical of the rest of the MSS timeline (approximately 40 minutes; though I've only mixed the audio for a roughly 10 minute segment so far).
    Footage is from two Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD) cameras and a GoPro (MP4).  Again, playback was beautiful before messing with the audio mix in the MSS.  I've checked the Media Cache, Disk Cache, etc and it's got plenty of space left (around 30 GB).
    Playback literally feels like it's 1998 all over again and I'm working in Premiere 5.1! 
    Could these, relatively few, audio keyframes really be slowing me down so dramatically?  If so, can I do something to make it run faster?  If this is not the cause, what else might I be missing?

    My multicam sequences are usually created by Red Giant's PluralEyes.  (I would LOVE to create them with Premiere's new Audio Sync feature, but so far that only works about 0% of the time).  So the footage is synced with PluralEyes 3.2.1.  A timeline is exported from PluralEyes and then imported into a project.  Once in Premiere the sequence is only a "regular" sequence.  I know of no way to convert a regular sequence to a new sequence (that would be a cool feature; right-click on a regular sequence and choose "Convert to Multicam Source Sequence").  I create a new Multicam Source Sequence (MSS) using any two video clips.  I choose In-point for the sync.  The MSS is created and opened.  I select all on the timeline and delete.  I now have a blank MSS.  I select all from the PluralEyes generated "regular" sequence; copy; paste into the blank MSS.  Now my MSS is ready to use.
    Are you saying that audio is ALWAYS "Adaptive" when created as I've outlined above?  How can it be changed?  What should it be? 
    If I remember correctly, Premiere CC has been setting up these Multicam Source Sequences with four channels, instead of stereo.  I thought it was weird (I don't recall this happening in CS6).  So I looked into the manual and hacked my way around to reducing the channels to stereo.  Through track assignment, etc (I can't remember where) I was able to get all but one of the tracks to playback.  Ultimately that track was unimportant, so I ended up deleting it rather than continuing to fight Premiere to make the track playback audibly.
    I'll look into the link you provided above.  Meanwhile, did anything I say here spark any further ideas?  Things to try?

  • Color Correcting Clips With Dissolves

    When you're color correcting clips in a sequence with dissolves, are you color correcting the entire clip or just the part before or after the dissolve?
    Do you have to remove other effects to color correct the whole clip?
    Sure hope not but there seems to be a color change in playback when I hit the dissolves between clips.
    Haven't rendered yet but have made a lot of changes to the color in a long and cutty sequence.

    I imagine that the color changes you are seeing are because the sequence is not fully rendered. Do a test by fully rendering just a section.
    And yes, you are color correcting the clip including any transitions in and out.

  • Color Correction Workflow Question

    If I am color correcting on the "original clip" - and then pulling that color corrected "original clip" into its own "clip sequence" that I then pull into a "master sequence", along with all the other "clip sequences" that make up my edit, and I am trimming those "clip sequences" to get just the snippet I need...
    Is that creating a longer rendering time than if I...
    Do not color correct on the actual "original clip" - still put the "original clip" into its own "clip sequence" - trim and resize that "clip sequence" to just the snippet I need, and then do the color correcting on that "clip sequence" instead of the "original clip" itself?
    I'm hoping there is no descernable difference in the approach, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    Thanks.

    Good enough for me.
    BTW Jim the workflow set-up you held my hand through (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5522489#5522489) is what I'm utilizing here - so far it has truly changed the way I approach everything for the better.

  • Why is multicam source not switching cameras on video output?

    When I have a multicam source sequence loaded in the source monitor and I select different cameras nothing changes on the video output (have tried both Decklink and AJA stations). It just keeps outputting camera one.
    Did something break with Premiere CC 7.1.0? Anyone else running into this? Any idea how to fix?

    As far as I know, there's no workaround within 7.1. If rolling back to 7.0.1 is an option, then that should get Transmit working with multicam editing. But whatever you do, DON'T roll back to 7.0.0--in case you weren't aware, it had a gnarly multicam bug.
    If you revert to 7.0.1, please consult this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5823746#5823746#5823746.

  • How do I enable "create multi-cam source sequence" option?

    I am trying to create a multi-cam sequence of an interview. I have one audio file (.wav) and two different camera angles (.mov's). I highlight all three and right click, but the "Create Multi-Cam Source Sequence" option is disabled. I tried going to Clip in the menu as well. No luck. How do I enable this so I can create a multi-cam sequence?

    If you are in Premiere version CS6, unselect the audio and sync your video with in or out points, timecode or clip marker. I am assuming you are prior version CC as I believe audio disables 'creating multicam source sequence'. Versions CC and beyond have the ability to sync with audio, so not sure as to why your option is greyed out.

  • Multi-cam Source Sequence

    Recently I have been trying to master the multicam sequences using the audio sync system. I am frankly disappointed in the results that I have been getting. It seems that unless the 2 cameras are started very close (< 1/2 sec) to the same moment that the system is ineffective.
    Setup:
    Record using 2 identical Panasonic HMC 150p onto SDHC chips set at PH 720/30p.
    Sequences are 1280 x 720 square pixels as set auto matching the clips.
    The audio is generated using Sennheiser wireless systems to a mixer and feed the same output to both cameras. We copy the clips from SD cards to our hard drive, and have all clips and titles on a second hard drive. We are running PPCC on a HP with an Intel p7 cpu with 8 GB of ram.
    Last week our 2 cameras were started 7 seconds apart and PPCC could not synchronize those 2 clips. I could accept that, but today It could not synchronize 2 clips that were off by 15 frames. That seems to me to indicate that either I or the system is doing something wrong. I adjusted the offset by inserting a 15 frame delay in one clip using the source monitor and setting a new start point. Then the camera switching aspect of multicam system worked.
    I put the 2 clips, each about 10 minutes long, into one folder. Select the folder & hit clips>Create multicam source sequence. I viewed the synchronization by rt. clicking the generated sequence and then Open on Timeline. When I want to use the generated source sequence I drag the squence to the new item which will create a new sequence that can be edited.
    Is this all I should expect from the proram, or am I doing something wrong?

    It seems like I have finally broken the code on getting the Multi-cam audio synch to work consistantly!
    All of our 2 camera shoots have starting points that are not the same on the two clips.
    I have tried using having the 2 clips in a folder and then selecting the folder and using the Clips>Create Multi...
    That process worked some of the time, also selecting individual clips and then using the Clips>Create Multi... worked sometimes.
    To get to the bottom line, PP in using the Create Multi-Cam.... is controled by the order in which clips are selected.
    Apparently if a folder is selected then the selection is alphabetic which is proper sometimes. I have found that
    THE FIRST CLIP SELECTED MUST BE THE ONE WHICH STARTS EARLIEST!
    Nowhere in my review of all the info on the use of the Multi-Cam... did I find any reference to that factor. That has certainly been a source of much frustration.
    Once the proper order of selection is made then the system works nicely as expected.

  • Reconnecting (substituting) "different" color corrected media

    Hello,
    I am now calmly writing this post after three days of pulling my HAIR out trying to do a SIMPLE reconnect of media files.  BUT the new color corrected media does not have audio and my rough cut's media does have audio, so the reconnect media function will not work.
    I've tried everything.  There MUST be a way for me to get my color corrected files into this sequence.  Shoot, I CAN'T EVEN MANUALLY COPY THE IN'S AND OUTS BECAUSE THERE'S NO DARN IN AND OUT IN THE EVENT BROWSER! (Well, I was calm there for a second . . .)
    To make matters even MORE difficult, I can not open certain clips in the "clip timeline" to do a replace because they have a little "-v1" added to their name (Which I can't find anywhere in the manual - or anywhere else online for that matter) I'm guessing it's because I referenced those clips in After Effects which BROKE THE ridiculous connection that FCPX ENFORCES. So I had to reimport those clips - and HOW IN THE HECK some of my transcoded ProRes files got moved into the Original files folder is beyond me.
    I am an Avid certified editor, and have spent years on FCP.  I realize there are some people buckling down and relearning their craft on FCPX, others are jumping ship, but I am an audio engineer and entrepeneur and IT IS SO FRUSTRATING having to relearn SIMPLE functions to programs I already know as well as learn various new applications.
    There I feel a little better now.
    Can someone please help me attach these clips to my edited sequence?
    Thank you SO much.
    Peace

    Hi Andy,
    Thank you for your response!
    Please do not find my opinion offensive - it's just my opinion but I do not think that it is not unreasonable to expect FCPX to accept my new media and replace it.  That's what all professional non-linear editors have been able to do up until this point in time, have they not?  It's been the workflow for thousands if not millions of editors worldwide for years has it not? (And I am sincerely and honestly asking you these questions, I am not trying to be smart or sarcastic. Please correct me if I am wrong so that I may re-evaluate my attitude and expectations).
    I think that it is okay to be frustrated and what I'm most frustrated with is the fact that they called this application Final Cut instead of "Imovie Pro" and discontinued my main program that I've known and loved for 12 years.  I have a brand new Mac pro that I paid close to $10,000 for with RAM and all - and my only "Apple" option is to edit my movies in a glorified $300 consumer app.
    So, again thank you for at least telling me that this is not possible.  I will re-edit the entire project with the new color corrected media now that I know that it's not possible to substitute.
    Sincerely,
    Skyko

  • How to edit source sequence from 'multicam mode' sequence (not bearing multicam icon)?

    I'm 'multicam editing' what i believe I setup as a regular sequence, then enabled (i believe by nesting) as opposed to a textbook multicam sequence setup with multicam icon where you setup a 'source' then a 'target' prior to starting.  my 'multicam' sequence that works like a charm does not bear the multicam icon.  Is there a difference between the two or are they essentially the same?
    I was able to switch cameras on the fly like a charm so i 'multicam' edited an entire show when I realized I had 1 minor audio-to-picture beat-mismatch to correct in the source.
    I read that to fix this, press Ctrl+Shift+F where you want to open the source sequence in the Timeline panel (and this did open expanded tracks as expected near that designated point in the timeline) so i made the quick edit and saved changes.  But now playing back my multicam sequence (that does not have a multicam icon), I'm not sure what i must do to see those changes so i can continue/finish my show edit?  it isn't automatically doing this as i would expect.
    i'm forced to wonder what's going on, what 'source' I actually edited, and how or if it is connected to my multicam sequence if at all.  my icons seem reversed to me i.e. the sequence with expanded independent a/v tracks bears the 'multicam' icon whereas the sequence I actually did the multicam switching on the fly does not bear the 'multicam icon' or the audio-picture realignment edit I made in the expanded tracks.
    if these two are related, why do edits in the expanded sequence not reflect in the collapsed.  is there any other way to reveal/expand the multicam sequence?  so confused.

  • Workflow for Green Screen Multicam, Color Correction. (CC 2014)

    Hi
    What is the best workflow to do a music video shot with 7 cameras (each with 4 takes) on a green screen which would also include green screen stills.
    All shot with Consumer Grade cameras at 1920/1080 at the highest resolution (I think 30 fps)
    The way I am going about is not efficient.
    My tasks are:
    Key each 20 minute clip (to get about 2 usable minutes)
    Rotate my DSLR video (shot in landscape so I could take stills as well)
    Color correct all clips
    Create a new cleaned up movie for each clip including: Proper format. Keyed with new background, Color Corrected, Re-encoded as a new movie, Re-imported as 7 new movies, begin to edit.
    I was watching some movies about pasting attributes which look helpful and also about nesting sequences which looks like it could save time.
    What is the best workflow steps to do all this? Am I going about it the right way by creating new movie clips which are keyed with a new background, color corrected, and reencoded including all the garbage footage? Then create a new multicam project to edit the cleaned up footage?
    HELP!

    Temporary solution for this was "export xml" after all. I had to disable all graphics and textlayers and delete colorcorrections, and flatten multicam, so i had to redo all grading ja graphics stuff in older premiere after importin FCP xml. But got the work done in time. Won't use cc 2014 in near future unless someone figures out what is wrong with green frames. (well actually now im exporting from older AME, will she if the green frames pops out there too, wouldn't be too much surprised....)

  • Sequence color correction

    I am color correcting different clips in my sequence in order to have all the footage look the same. Is there some kind of graph or something else that can show me what's going with colors in my entire sequence so I can do this more precise? Do I have to use Color for that?

    I'm not aware of any feature that does what you're looking for.
    You could use the search feature to locate all clips with the same name...in the sequence, set in/out at head/tails, hit command-f, type in file name and change "Where" to 'From In to Out', then click on 'Find All'.
    Depending on how your project is set up, you could also control-click on a clip in the browser and select 'Label' and give it a color lable. This would assist in locating certain shots, that would benefit from a global color correction.
    I occasionally use both procedures when cutting 1-hour multiclips, by setting up a 'master' color correction for say...Cam1 CU or Cam4 OTS XWS..., apply it, copy it, then paste to all instances of the clip. However, I find that each shot ends up requiring some level of tweaking due to slight changes in color and luminance shifts/intensities, caused by differences in framing and movements in the frame.
    Hope that helps,
