Has Multicam edit changed in CS6?

For a number of years now I've successfully edited theatre shows using multicam. I don't edit in real time, live, I don't use the "record" feature; I move through slowly and methodically, clicking on whichever camera I want in the multicam view, and these choices are then reflected as cuts in the timeline.
I've just started my first project in CS6 and am shocked to discover that appears to be no longer the case. It seems that I now can only edit in real time, using "record" and clicking "live". I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed that I've simply got the wrong setting somewhere. Can anyone please advise? I'd be most grateful.

Adobe, please take note of how FCPX does multicam editing, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmFmyXWaQHM.
auto syncing using audio (i.e. free integrated Plural Eyes software functionality)
Timeline and Program Monitor integration (i.e. pressing play in the Timeline/Program Monitor also plays video angles in the Multicam window and vice versa, not either or as is currently the case in CS6)
ability to display just 2 camera angles intelligently (i.e. just one above the other instead of side by side above 2 empty black camera angles)
etc.
Please add this to PP!
Thank you!

  • How do I perform a multicam edit in PPro CS6 using Plural Eyes?

    So I'm new to multicam editing in CS6. I've recently upgraded from CS3 (yeah, it's been awhile). I'm editing a wedding on a Windows 7 machine with mostly DSLR's (start and stop clips). My workflow was going to be to sync through Plural Eyes and then all the clips would be synced on the timeline and I could create a multicam sequence from there. But apparently, you can't do that like you could in CS3. It seems that multicam was easier to do in CS3 almost. Has anyone been able to sync multiple DSLR clips on the timeline and use the multicam feature? I would love to be able to do this but not sure how to go about it or if it's even possible. Thanks for any of your help!

    CS6 does add an additional method of creating a multicam sequence, but the old method there from the beginning still works just fine.

  • Multicam editing - changing camera viewed

    Hello
    Not sure if this is specific to Première CS5 but something I dont understand:
    Editing a multicam sequence, I change the cam view from MC1 to MC2 for a specific clip section. I notice that 2 or 3 sequence sections just after also change from MC1 to MC2 even though one one portion was selected.
    Any clues?
    Thanks

    David, thanks for your answer but really its too general as my question is around a specific seeming querk.
    I have a sequence with two tracks (what I called the underlying sequence). This is then nested into a second sequence enabled for multicam.
    I then have a certain number of cuts, at which I change from cam 1 to 2 and back.
    Imagine three portions separated by cuts say portion 1 is on cam 1, portion 2 on cam 2 and portion 3 on cam 1.
    I then changed portion 1 to cam 2 and all three portions went to cam 2.
    There is some kind of link between the three that is making them all change.

  • Multicam Editing in Premiere cs6 Issue

    hello
    I have weird a problem while editing in multicam sequence.
    I will try to specify this:
    when I am start  editing,  its working fine, the problem start when the sequence is larg (over an hour)
    when I am getting to 30 minutes and more, and I have to stop (to fix the editing)
    I am rolling the cti back a few second and press the spacebar and premiere response
    very slowly until it starts recording, and it wont scroll back and forward (while scrubbing the cti)
    and it's getting worse as long as am going further.
    the response time is very long when I approaching the 01:00:00:00.
    in 01:50:00:00 it's taking her between 20 or 30 second to respond.
    in the cs3 I didn't have this problem.
    I will be glad to hear if there anyone that have experienced the same problem
    or maybe someone have another solution for this kind of  a bug.

  • Best Practices CS6 - Multicam Edit: How to use a key?

    I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to use the Multi-cam editing function of CS6 PP, while applying a key to the primary video track.
    The workflow I have is V1 contains the background that I want to key into V2. I applied UltraKey to V2, did the key (works great), and now I want to use the multicam editing to cut between the finished keyed V2 track, and video on V3. The way I've always used the Multicam editing in the past is to select the video clips from the clip browser (not the timeline) to create a multicam source sequence - but if I have to apply a key first, I can't do that. I thought of nesting V1 and V2 together after the key is applied, but then I can't make adjustments to the key after the final composite is made (or can I?)
    Any thoughts about what works best in this scenario? appreciate the help.

    I don't think my system could support live keying. I'd prefer to apply the key first but this is where I had a problem. Let's assume for a minute that there's no key. In a typical MCS workflow, I'd just select the clips from the browser, create the MCS, do the live cuts and be done with it. If I can still do that it's fine, but would that screw everything up in the MCS if I move all the video up one track because the background for the key has to be in front of the video that it's being applied to? I hope I'm making sense here.

  • CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

    I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system.  I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time.  But I don't want to get rid of them either.  Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother?  Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want?  The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible.  I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
    Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

  • Can you apply fx to individual clips after a multicamera edit? CS6

    I have footage from a 5 camera shoot of a concert.  What I want to do is perform a multicamera edit to choose what angles I want to use.  After the edit, I would need to go back and apply warp stabilizer to any sections that need it.  One of the cameras has a telephoto zoom and another is on a dolly track; there are certain points where these angles need warp stabilizer, and other times where they do not need warp stabilizer.  I do not want to have to apply warp stabilizer to 2 and a half hours of footage from two cameras when much of that footage does not need stabilized.
    Is there a way to first perform the multicamera edit, then go back and apply fx such as warp stabilizer, color correction, etc, to individual clips that need it?

    Thanks!  I didn't want to go through the whole process and find out I had to do it all over again.
    Off to give it a try.

  • From LR 4.3, saved edits in Photoshop CS6 not changing in LR (when running an Action)

    From Lightroom 4.3, I am editing to Photoshop CS6 and able to make my edits and adjustments with a couple of Nik Software plugins running in an Action.  The Action saves correctly and the changes are visible in Photoshop.  When I switch back to Lightroom, the changes did not save.
    However, when I try to do the same thing and replicate the steps of the Action manually, the changes do save correctly and they are visible in Lightroom.
    This same action worked perfectly fine before I updated to LR4.3.  The Action is key to my workflow, and not being able to use it significantly slows me down.
    Is there a workaround known?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    Web-Weaver,
    Thanks for that detail.  When I looked at my Action, it indeed was a <save as> command. So I re-recorded the Action, and recorded <save>, but in the Action, it still shows up as a <save as> recorded entry.  I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to make it just a <save>.
    Some additional detail, the <save as> that was recorded specifies that it be saved as a PSD format, and it also specifies a distinct filename and location.  When I created a Droplet, and ran it on several files, they were all saved to that same filename.
    Any further suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • Premiere pro cs6 multicam editing

    hI all!
    How can I do a Premiere Pro cs6 multicam editing when there is a "audio only" clip too? for exemple when there is an external service audio recording?
    Selecting the clips and right clic the create source multi-camera menù command is deactivated, and this option is not available; why doesn't it work?
    thank you all.

    You can always do things the original (and often better) way.
    Manually.

    Hi
    Wrong..
    To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
    Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
    Maybe this will help

  • Offline editing in Premiere CS6

    Hi!
    I'm thinking about to edit a feature film in Premiere putting together all the episodes of my webserie. It's an action webserie and has a lot of cuts. It is in H.264 from 7d so is very difficult to play in real time.
    Are there any way to make proxies of the sequence for a more fluid edit and reconnect later with the original files (as you can do in Avid or FCPX)?

    Yes indeed!
    But you will have to use the fonction "replace with" to files one by one. Then it will relink the low res files to HD files into your timeline.

    Hi Denis, thanks for your help.
    Yes, right now I have one of the last MacBook Pro (no retina) but only with 4Gb of RAM. But I originally edit the series in my Macpro (with 24Gb and quadro 4000) and the action sequences still had problem to play well in H.264.
    My problem is that I have every episode already edit, although I'll probably change it when I mix all together.
    So, I think in this solution following your advice:
    •Make a Project manager of the sequences to one folder.
    •Batch transcode the resulting clips to a proxy version in another folder, with different name but maintaining the original name of the clips
    •Relink the sequences to the new ones
    In this way I can easily switch from offline to online version, right?

  • Two camera multicamera editing

    To old pros, this may be old hat - if so my apologies for posting - but to me it is a revolution - and of possible help to some.
    To foresee unwanted panning or zooming (to create a new shot) use this method (assuming you have already syncronized video and audio on tracks 1 and 2): 1) select all - both video and audio tracks, 2) move everything two and a half secs. down the timelines, 3) lock audio tracks, 4) copy all, 5) lock both video tracks, 6) paste at 00:00:00:00. You should now have four video tracks. When this sequence is dragged into a new multi editing sequence and enabled in the normal way, the video in the top two windows will play 2-2.5 secs. ahead of real time thus giving you amble time to select the alternative window. Has saved me hours and hours not having to go back to reselect. I call it multicam editing the Danish way - with a smile.
    Sigurd

    Wow, that was confusing watching those videos. There's a couple ways to quickly set up and run a multicam switch in PPro CC 2014 but here's how I do it:
    1) Sync up your clips. Align them how you want either using plural eyes or just do your own visual/audio sync (premiere has it's own audio sync which you can google how it works but I've found it not 100% accurate)
    2) Hold down ALT and select only the video clips you want to cut between.
    3) Right click on those highlighted clips and select NEST
    4) That creates one nested clip on video track 1. (Because of the way I do this it still leaves the audio visible from all the cameras/sources below so they can be accessed right on that timeline.) Now right-click on that nested video track and select MULTICAM>Enable.
    5) Now go to the PROGRAM window/panel and hit the + button on the bottom right. You'll see one icon that looks like windows, drag that out to the project panel so it stays visible always.
    6) Click on that little window icon (if you hover over it, it should say multicam window or something like that). Now you'll see all the cameras at once and also another window that shows what camera is "live". It's ALL in the Program window now ever since the last few versions of Premiere.
    7) Basically just hit play and start clicking on those little camera windows in that program monitor/panel as the video plays and it will record all your cuts. When you hit stop or pause, you'll then see all those cuts populate your video track. Done super easy.
    8) To change a cut after you've stopped the playback you can bring the play head over the clip you want changed and then just click on the camera window that you want to change it to. Also, using the "n" or nudge tool helps you drag the cut or edit points forward or back in time.
    Hope that helps! Enjoy!

  • Multicam Editing Bug!!

    So I have a project that is using 3 HD cameras and a Zoom Audio recorder for the master audio track, the project is about 35 mins.  All the cams and audio were synced up perfectly, however the problem is....a shot from the camera showed up again in the Canvas but the shot I want shows in the Angle Viewer at the same time.  Yes, the Canvas shows a different shot other than what is selected in the Angle Viwer.  The Angle Viewr has the correct shot but the Canvas/Timeline does not....this is the second time I seen this happen, before I had to completely start my edit over again and it has me livid!  I wonder why this is happening....anyone??  I this a known bug?? Please help I'm going crzy with this!!

    strange bug. i dont know how to fix it, but a work around might be to make manual edits when you stop and go back, instead of using the multicam edit window.
    can change keyboard shortcut for "Add Edit" , default is ctrl+k, but if you change it to something easier like just s for split or c for cut, then you can work faster. just have to be in the timeline window for the shortcut key to work.  after making edit point, select new clip in multicam to use. this might stop it from changing the camera angle of the previous edit.  locking the audio track or selecting the video clip sequence will keep it from adding an edit to all tracks.

  • Multicam edit from nested sequence -- no audio?

    Can someone please help me explain why I can change the video tracks as if they are multicam in my nested sequence, but I can't change the audio?
    I created a sequence called "sync" which basically is all of my cameras, each on their own individual tracks, sync'd with each other, as they turned on and off throughout the shoot.
    I cut this 'sync' sequence into my main timeline 'master', and then enabled multicam. I can now beautifully cut between cameras using the 'multicam' window and clicking on the preview of the shot I want as it plays. I've made my visual edit, but now I want to go back and choose my audio tracks, which it seems I can't do...
    Furthermore, it seems that my nested sequence, which has video cut into V1 and audio cut into Stereo track A1, is only playing stereo track A2 from 'sync' when it's played on 'master'. It seems to be somewhat dependent on the tracks I have enabled on 'sync', but not entirely:
    1) If all audio tracks are enabled on 'sync', only A2 will play from A1 on 'master'
    2) If all audio tracks except for A2 are enabled on 'sync', no audio will play on 'master'
    3) If only A2 is enabled on 'sync', only A2 will play from 'master'.
    Is there any documentation about this behavior? Is it a bug? Is there any way to select a different audio track from 'sync' from the multicam edit window?
    Thanks in advance!

    OK, maybe I should clarify...
    Only A2 is coming through, NOT A1 -- so that's inconsistent with what you're saying. I have not checked Audio Follows Video, because that's not the bahvior I want. I'd like to be able to choose from any of the video tracks. Is that not possible in Premiere Pro?
    Also, do you think it makes a difference that I'm 'multicam editing' from a regular sequence (with multicam enabled) as opposed to an actual multicam sequence?
    thanks for the help.

  • Multicam editing: Can't get blade to show in angle viewer when trying to edit in Timeline

    This problem just appeared. I have done lots of multicam editing in FCPX, it works great.
    But, today I started on a new video and:
    - I created the first multicam clip, it looks fine.
    - I created a Project and appended the multicam clip into the Project, it looks fine.
    - I see all the Angles in the Angle Viewer, it looks normal.
    - I select the Event Browser and hit play, all angles play. I move the curser over an angle and I see a hand, just as I should. everything fine so far.
    - I click in the Timeline and hit the space bar and the selected angle and audio start to play..........BUT the angles in the angle viewer do NOT play. Not right.
    - With the Timeline still selected, I move the curser over an angle in the angle viewer, and i see the hand, NOT the Blade.
    So, FCPX thinks I am still in the Event Browser, even though when I click in the Timeline, the Timeline background color changes to light grey, which says I am in the Timeline. FCPX is not letting me go into the Timeline (even though the background color changes).
    I have to be doing something dumb, but I don't see it.
    Any suggestions?

    Turns out that was EXACTLY the problem --- I kept looking around and finally discovered the problem was that I was NOT in a project (although I thought I was).
    Nevertheless, thank you for responding.
