Issues creating multicam edit from pre-synced DSLR sequence

Hi All,
I'm new to Premiere Pro CC, having just moved from FCPX. I've been doing a fair bit of research on multicam editing in PP the last few days but have yet to be able to get it going on my project.
As you can see from the screen grab, I have a sequence of DSLR clips that I have synced onto my timeline. The issue is that no matter what method I use I can't seem to create a multicam edit that works. I always end up with only one camera in the multicam window and the audio isn't remotely synced up with it.
What am I doing wrong?

The sequence you have open. Take that sequence in your project bin, right click, pop-up menu, choose 'create a new sequence'. Open your new 'flat' one video track sequence in your timeline, click project monitor panel 'wrench', pop-up menu, choose ' Multi-camera'

  • 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.

  • Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

    When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
    To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

    Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

  • Issues Creating PDF's From AutoCAD

    My company is working on standardizing how our AutoCAD drawings are created from AutoCAD. In the past each AutoCAD drawing has been printed to PDF using a third party PDF printer such as DocuPrinter or BlueBeam PDF Revu.
    While those methods work, the PDF files that are created are very large, and they take a long time to produce. Our drawing packages consist of several hundred files and take a couple of hours to generate through those methods.
    I am trying to use Acrobat 8.0 Professional to streamline the process, as well as increase the PDF qaulity, reduce file size, and reduce time to completion.
    Acorbat seems to work great, but I have noticed the following issues. I was wondering if anyone else as seems and fixed these already.
    1.) While doing Batch conversion of files to PDF within AutoCAD using the batch Convert method, every layout in each the DWG file is converted to PDF. The PDFmaker does not seem to care about my AutoCAD settings which determine which layouts to plot. Is there a way around this?
    2.) Some content is missing on some drawings. On some drawings, lines and other conten is missing from the PDF. If I do a Print to Adobe PDF the content is present, but if I use the PDFmaker the content is missing.
    3.) Random colors. If I use the PDFmaker, some elements on particular drawings are coming out in Either Cyan Blue or Red on the PDFs. The items are black in the original DWG files.
    4. While doing a batch conversion, there is an option to save an XML file with all of your selections. You can reuse this XML file later. The XML file contains a setting that looks like you can specifiy which layouts to convert. Does anyone know the available options that can be used here?
    All of my testing has been performed using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and AutoCAD 2007. I have also tested using AutoCAD 2009, but noticed a considerable amount of other issues.

    Thanks for your interest Bill.
    I did just what you suggested. The file gets created, and when I open it in Distiller, the errors showed (log file) are the following:

    Jojojo was the name of the file created by AdobePDF printer. The word AFIANZADORA happens to be the first text word in my document. It seems it does nothing from the beginning. Can you tell me what's happening with this information ?
    And yes, I can print from any other windows application and a .pdf file is always created.

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 issue: Creating single PDF from Multiple PDFs

    Hey all,
    My setup:
    • Mac OS 10.6.4 / Mac Pro dual / 6GB RAM
    • Adobe CS5 Master Collection
    • Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    Just ran into issue (critical) I have not encountered before, but it is frighteningly reminiscent of the InDesign CS5 problem of the "Document fonts" folder issues and Small Caps/All Caps. Here's the scenario:
    1. In an IDCS5 document I've used the "All Caps" command to give a heading that characteristic (font used is Avenir 95 Black; type 1).
    2. Export to PDF (Print), and receive a correct PDF, with the All Caps designation showing/printing correctly.
    3. Open it in both Acrobat 9.3.4 and Adobe Reader 9.3.4, and the file is correct (see attachment 1, below).
    4. I then make several other single-page PDFs and save them all to a new folder.
    After creating these single-page PDFs for client review, the client has requested that a random number of these PDFs be compiled into a single PDF, which is no problem--it's a common request which we do all the time. The steps for this are:
    1. Launch Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    2. Choose File>Create PDF>Merge Files into a Single PDF; dialogue box pops up.
    3. Click the "Add Files" button in the upper left corner of dialogue box (Single PDF button is selected in top right corner of box).
    4. Navigation window pops up, allowing me to choose the folder created in step 4, above, which contains the PDFs I need.
    5. Highlight the desired PDFs, and arrange them in the desired order; click on the "Combine Files" button in the lower right corner of dialogue box. 6. PDFs are generated, and I save the resulting PDF; I then open it in either Adobe Reader 9.3.4 or Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 to verify all went well, and to my disappointment, notice the incorrect interpretation of the "All Caps" line of type (see attachment 2, below).
    I have verified that a PDF file exported through IDCS5 works correctly, and making the 'combined' PDF by making a new IDCS5 document and adding the necessary pages and exporting a single PDF works correctly, as well. The problem is that the "Combine..." feature in Acrobat Pro is our workflow, because it allows for single PDFs to be combined into one WITHOUT having to set up a new IDCS5 document specifically for the final PDF; to do so would require countless numbers of IDCS5 files in order to get the randomly chosen pages into one PDF.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if I overlooked a similar post, my apologies. Thanks in advance...
    Cheers!
    Mikey

    The issue is related to font embeddings. If all of the pdfs had contained the entire font set rather than font subsets this would not be an issue. The way to tackle the problem is to use the PDF optimizer to remove ALL font embeddings. Then use the Preflight to to re-embed the fonts.

  • Facebook created tags disappearing from iphoto synced albums

    I uploaded an album to FB via iphoto09. FB friends added tags of themselves. many of the tags are to people Im not even direct friends with. Then days later I noticed all the FB tags are gone again! I re-added some. they disappeared again. Definitely NOT related to users untagging themselves, as i can re-add and it happened to photos of myself. I have added a photo to the album via iphoto, and i have updated the caption via facebook.com, but i wouldnt expectthose events to DELETE the tags created within facebook...but something of the sort must be happening....
    WHY is that happening and how do i make it stop? if its "as designed" functionality...why? if not, can we get a response that its being fixed? or an explanation of how to ensure this wont happen again? wary of using the export if tags wont work, which is what makes photos on FB so social and useful, as its AWFUL to keep retagging friends pics, having them appear in their feed, doing it again etc...
    any comment or workaround or explanation very much appreciated.

    Remember that you are not just uploading to facebook, your synchronising with it, and this means that data in one side of this equation can be replaced or removed to make both sides of the equation the same.
    You understand and agree that uploading your photos to a third party service requires compliance with the terms and conditions of that service. +At the time that you upload to or download photos from any such service, the iPhoto software will also synchronize your iPhoto tag information with the photo tags that you have on that service, which may result in a loss of photo tag information in iPhoto+.
    That's from the End User Licence Agreement.

  • Having issues created a .pdf from a Word .doc.

    I tried converting a Word doc today, and was given the error "Missing PDF file maker. Do you want to run this in repair mode?  I click yes, it scans (for several minutes) then no document.  A document icon appears on the opening page, yet when you click on it, it says: ERROR – this document cannot be found."
    I tried two other documents I scanned into PDF files – both from excel sheets – no problem. Since this was installed I haven't had any issues until recently. I cannot think of anything that has changed since then.
    Is it possible this is a problem with Word?

    Well I'm having the same issue. Right now I have a very simple, one page Word doc I want to PDF before emailing. I hit print, chose PDF, picked where I wanted to save file, then . . . Adobe starts to open Word - but only the "title page" comes up and hangs for . . . ever. Adobe says "Please wait, reading PDF file . . . ".
    When I open Task Manager - it shows both Word and Adobe PDF as running.
    I checked for updates. I can't think of what to do next?
    I can chose Adobe PDF in my print menu, I have  new laptop running Windows 7 and Microsoft Home Premiere 2010.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a 'favor' for my mother's friend, now both of them are calling wondering what is taking me so long : }

  • I updated to 5.0.1, now how do i re-load my information from pre-sync?

    For some reason I've been having problems backing up info from my 3gs. After updating to the latest sofware, my contacts; some, but not all, apps; notes, configurations; everything is gone! I was able to sync after the update to iTunes and reload music and some apps. Is there a way to find contacts(most importantly) if there is a glitch in backing up and I don't use iCloud(yet)? Please help!

    I was going to suggest that you Restore from Backup, but it sounds like you are having trouble with backups. But at this point, I don't think it would really hurt. Plug in your phone to iTunes, click Restore. Let it do its thing, and when it is done, select Restore from Backup, and hope that one of your successful backups contain your stuff on them.

  • Multicam editing issue

    I've been able to successfully create multicam edited squences previously but I've run into a problem I can't seem to figure out. I've followed the steps for creating a multicam form the manual and from Ken Stone's tutorial here http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/multicam_editingmartin.html, but still not luck.
    I'm creating a multiclip based on in points in FCS2. The videos I'm using are H.264, 640x480, 29.97fps, the data & audio rates are different.
    What's happening is after adding/creating the multiclip sequence the clip angles are not playing in the viewer and only one angle plays in the canvas. When I select the second angle I get a red render line above the entire clip. The RT settings are limited to just "Use Playback Settings" and "Full Quality".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Jerry

    The problem is very likely coming from the fact that FCP doesn't support h.264. It's a delivery format, not an editing format.
    You'd be much better off transcoding these files to a supported editing format such as DV then creating the multiclips.

  • Trying to attach a Story script to a multicam edit

    I have a multicam edit of an interview which has been transcribed in Adobe Story.  I'm trying to attach the script so I can access points of the interview through the script metadata. Premiere doesn't seem to want to attach a script to a multicam sequencs, yet if I attach it to the individual clips (there are five of them) I don't see the script in the multicam meta.  How can I best utilize the embed script feature in multicam?  I am updated to all current versions of CC.  Thanks!

    I'm trying to do this as well. Trying to figure out the best post workflow when dealing with transcriptions and multi camera edits with separately recorded audio.
    So far I've attached Story scripts to audio files, then merged those audio files with video, then attached the story script to the merged clip and that all works fine. But seems like I can't create a multicamera edit from merged clips.
    Is there any way to attach a story script to a multicamera edit? Or at least see the script that is attached to clips within the multicamera edit?

  • 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

  • HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

  • Sync and Create project operation from DTR is taking more than one hour

    Hi All.
    Recently basis team has implemented the track for  ESS/MSS application.So When we import the track to NWDS its showing 500 Dcs.
    I have successfully done the Sync and create project operation from DTR for 150 DCS and its take 5 min per Dcs.
    However after that when i am trying to sync Dc or create project DC from DTR the operation is taking more than 3 hour per DC.Which should not be the case because for rest 150 DC that i ahve done Sync operation adn Create project operation from DTR it hardly takes 5 min per Dc.As this operataion is taking so much time finally i have close the NWDS to stop this operation.
    I am using NWDS 2.0.15 and EP7.0 portal SP15 and NWDI is 7.0
    Can any body tell how to solve this issue so that i can Sync and Create project from DTR for a DC within 5 min?
    Thanks
    Susmita

    Hi Susmita,
    If the DCs are fine in CBS build, then I feel there is no need to test all of them locally in NWDS.
    You can verify some certain applications in these DCs, then you sync & create project for these DCs & test run these applications.
    As I get you only need to check ( no changes will be done ), yes you can verify them in small groups (say 20-25 DCs/group) in different workspaces so that no workspace is overloaded.
    But why do you want to keep a copy of them locally as you are not making any changes, you can Unsync & Remove these projects once verified & use the same workspace to work on the next set of DCs.
    Hope this clarifies your concerns.
    Kind Regards,
    Nitin

  • How to sync audio to existing multicam edit?

    Hi, I have done a multicam edit of my wedding from 4 different angles. SInce there was a lot of background noise, I have cleaned the audio track from one of the clips on an external program and imported it to FCPX.
    What's the best way now to sync that audio to the existing edit? I only see options to sync clips in the event browser but that won't affect the timeline edit.
    Your help if appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks Tom,
    Do you know the best way to set markers when using multi cam clips? Is it better to set the marker to one of the clips before creating the multi cam clip, or set them to the actual multi cam clip?
    Thank you!
