Multi-Camera Audio Source

I remember being able to choose which track in my multi-cam sequence I took audio from but I cannot find that in Premiere CS4. Can anyone point me to how to choose this?

Welcome to the forums.
I believe you will find the answer on this page.
Cheers

Adobe Prem 5.5 PC - Editing a multi camera & audio Concert into separate songs without losing sync

I have just finished completing a full synchronisation of multiple cameras and audio sources that took some imense amount of time to finish - phew!
Now I need to edt this into 11 separate songs, each with its own opening and closing titles.
I cannot easily cut in or using ripple delete or another cutting tool to change this without the calamity of losing sync.
I almost need to save this whole project as a scene and then re import it as another sequesnce and just cut it to suit each song but still not sure what method for saving it as I do not want to drop a generation.
Or should I copy and paste into a new sequence but then sync is a problem as soon as I cut it !!
Anyone who might have had experience of such a heavy workload of a project that could offer some advice, would be most welcome please.
In an older editing system, I was just able to save as a scene - just not sure with Premiere.
I have 5 or 6 video tracks and a similiar number of audio tracks so far, so worried about the sync issue now.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Alan

I'm sure you're way ahead of me, but my simple question is stacking and synching your various cameras and using multi-edit wasn't what you wanted?

Multi-camera audio with multiple tracks

In Premier Pro 2 I was somehow able to use the automation features to adjust levels throughout my videos on multiple tracks, and that mix would flow through to the multi-camera sequence.
It didn't work in Premier Pro 3.1.1 when I just tried it. I then noticed that the help file says "In order to retain audio from more than one track simultaneously, mix all the desired tracks to a single track in the source sequence, select the resulting audio track, and deselect the Audio Follows Video option."
I opened my old projects in 3.1.1 and the multiple tracks still play in the multi-camera sequence.
1: How was I able to do this before and can I still do it?
2: If I must mix all tracks to a single track in the source sequence, how do I do that? I can't figure that out.

You have two choices, either you can hear the audio for the selected camera, or just audio track 1. You can't hear all audio tracks simultaneously without a little tweaking.
Once you're done with the multicam cut, place another instance in the new sequence on tracks 2. Then delete the video from track 2, and move the audio from track 2 onto track 1. This will allow all audio tracks from the original sequence to be heard.

Multi camera audio synk

I have made a multi cam sequense with 4 cams + two separate audio tracks. (One with speech, one with man playing an instrument)
It all works fine until I began to adjust some levels in one of the the audio tracks. Then that sound went out of synk. Anyone knows why? Same thing happened when I used slip- or slide tool in the video track. (Nested multicam sequence)

What is the output format of your original video ? And did you try to convert them into another format then load into your Adobe?

Sync audio with multi camera audio mistaken

Hello everyone, i really need big help. It's not an adobe issue. propably it's my fault.
So, here's the deal. I edit a music concert. I've been given the original audio footage and i used 3 cameras.
Even though with synchronize option i synchronized each one with the original audio while i'm editing it seems like after a while it's unsynchronized. Any idea please? i've spent lot of hours doing it separately but it always losing synchronization.
Thank you all, in advance.
I've noticed that while the audio is in 44100hz camera settings are in 48000hz. i tried to convert the audio but finally it didn't worked.

It seems fairly normal for separately recorded audio to drift out of sync on longer shots. I'm not entirely clear why camera makers can get all their cameras to sync perfectly with each other, even across manufacturers, yet audio recorders have such a hard time with this. But...they do.
The solution is to find out by trial and error what percentage your device is off, and then apply that change to the audio clip. I had a recorder that needed to be speed adjusted to 100.04% in PP for the audio to remain in sync, so I applied that to every audio clip from that recorder.

Multi-camera audio follows video

What does this feature in the timeline do?

Thanks. I did check and got my question answered. Appreciate your quick response!

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.

Help with multi camera editing in Premiere Pro

Ok I'm new...so bear with me.
I am editing a basic interview shot on two cameras and cutting away to some still images.
The rushes are 4 lots of film about 10 mins in length.
I inputted the footage from the two cameras and created a new sequence for each using the multi camera audio synchronisation method (which worked great).
So how do I go about creating my edit? Something tells me I'm going about it in the wrong way.
Do I need to create my edit using single camera shots and then create multi camera sequences for each individual clip? It seems so laborious as its all already synced up for two cameras.
I am a bit confused about creating clips v creating sequences.
I'm sorry if this is making some of you cringe :/ ....but I really can't find any help in online tutorials.
I need basic step by step instruction.

humm, sounds like your 4 lots do not overlap in time, and that there is space between each lot. So would that be 4 multi-camera sequences with the two cameras?
If so, why even multicamera edit that? and just set up to Video tracks, sync the audio and opacity keyframe between the two tracks.
Good to get your multi-camera edit workflow going proper though.
Sounds like you need to multi-camera edit your 4 sequences separately, unless you sync each lot with its corresponding clip and put on the same timeline, then do one sequence and one multi-camera edit

Multi-Camera Source Sequence Audio from 1 Speaker instead of both??? HELP PLEASE!!!

So I have been at this for awhile now. Am I missing something?
I simply take my 2 .MOV's and 1 .WAV and I create a mulit-camera source sequence. Except when I play it from my time line and it appears in my program pane it only plays the .WAV from one speaker...
If I break it apart and load the .wav from the timeline into the source pane using keyboard shortcut "F" then it plays through both speakers..?
Attached is a screen shot of the broken down Mulit-Camera Source Sequence by clip.
Please help me, thank you!

I just tried that, although it still plays out one speaker when I play it in the timeline, either out or in the nest. It appears that the timeline has an audio setting that is off perhaps? Or a bug? I have attached many images to check out... Thank you advance!

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?

Volume in multi cam sequences drastically lower than source clips

When I put a multi cam sequence into a new sequence the volume level is drastically lower than on the source clips. Each source clip has 2 mono audio tracks instead of 1 stereo track. Does that make a difference?
Rex

Typically only A1 is used in the multicam cut, so yes the overall volume would be lower than with all audio tracks active.

Clip audio gets quieter after enabling multi-cam.

I have a sequence with two video tracks and one stereo audio track (recorded separtely and synced), and placed it into my "main" sequence for editting. Before enabling multi-cam, the audio levels are noticibly higher, and once setting multi-cam to enable, the volume levels drop about 2-3db. I then have to raise the volume to compensate for that. Is this a bug or something particular about the way multi-cam clips are handled?
Steve

This is normal. Multicam by default only uses Audio 1 of the source sequence.

Audio limitation in CS6 multi-cam?

I'm trying to use stereo audio from my source files when I create a multi-cam clip (I've confirmed the source files are indeed stereo as there is different content on the left and right sides and when I bring that into a new sequence on it's own the source will use 2 audio tracks).
However, if I create a multicam clip in the media browser and bring that into a new sequence, the audio becomes mono and only refers to the left side of the source files and pans that center, making the right side unusable.
Is this a bug?

If the right channel is on A1, and the left channel is on A2, then you must open the multi-camera source sequence in a Timeline and enable A2.
Here's the part of Help I wanted you to note:
By default, Premiere Pro CS6 only enables audio channel one in the multi-camera source sequence. For multi-camera editing workflow, enable other audio tracks manually before editing the target sequence. To enable audio tracks for the multi-camera source sequence, do the following:
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.
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 you would like to monitor.
Now that your chosen audio tracks are enabled, you can close the sequence.
You should now be able to monitor both channels as you cut your multicamera source sequence.
Let us know if that worked for you.

Insert source clip after multi-cam editing, how?

hello
I created a sequence using multiple clips and did all my colour corrections. Then I created a new sequence by dragging on new items, sequence is now green. Enabled Mulit-cam editing and started the process.
After i finished, I noticed two clips have blown highlights. Looking at original source I accidentally add two levels. I tried deleting the blown highlight clips and replace them with the original, this did not work too well.
Is there a method I can insert clips after multi-cam editing?
I hope all this makes senses.

Here's how I did it a few times:
1. Add video tracks (and audio tracks if needed) to your timeline to equal the number of cameras you have. Of course if you have more than 4 this will start to get impractical.
2. Edit in your clips from your different camera angles, one to each video track.
3. Double click each clip in turn to get it into the viewer and click the Motion tab. Change its scale to 50%.
4. Select each clip in turn in the timeline and move it to one corner of the canvas. You need to have "image + wireframe" selected in the Canvas popup menu in order to move it with the mouse.
You should now have up to 4 different camera angles shown at the same time in the Canvas, each in its own quadrant.
5. Now the hard part is to align each clip according to time. Hopefully you have some sort of visual cue you can use to align the clips.
6. Then play through the timeline and use the razor tool to cut the clips where you want a camera angle change.
7. Select each camera angle piece you want from each cut you made and change its scale back to 100% and center it at 0,0. Delete the unused clips.
8. If you want, you can move all the clips that remain back to v1 so that you can use transitions between them.
What to do with all the various audio is another question. I usually use the audio from the best source all the way through, only changing to the other camera angle's audio when necessary.

Audio targeting in Multi Camera edits Premiere 5.5

I am editing 6 days worth of a 3 camera multi camera set up from a seminar I shot last month. I am using Premiere Pro 5.5.
I shot the class with the speaker mic'ed with 2 wireless lapel mics: one mic going into Cam 3 left channel, and one going into Cam 2 right channel; the open channel on both catching ambient audio via camera mics. The thought here was I would have some redundancy in the event one mic popped out due to battery issues, or interference, and still have an audio channel to sync to with PluralEyes.
Camera 1 was a wide shot of the front of room, and had 4 choir mics directed at the audience (to pick up questions and such) and one shotgun focusing on the front where the speaker stood (again, for redundancy) running into a mixer, and then into Cam 1 right and left channels.
In Premiere, I line up all the video shots with PluralEyes (or manually) and then nest that sequence into a new multi cam sequence and begin editing.
When nesting the video and audio into a new sequence and turning multicamera editing on, I get the one track of nested video, and the one track of audio.
My issue is how to get the cleaner audio of the instructor, which is on either CAM 2 or 3 (with the lapel mics), onto the track of CAM 1, which is the only track I am able to hear when doing multi cam edits. If I simply copy the instructor audio onto track 1 in the 'source' sequence, I lose the audience replies and sound. But I don't know how to mix other channels onto the main track of the parent sequence (source).
I have worked around this by copying the audio from track 2 or 3 onto track 1 in the original (not nested) sequence and that has worked and I could keep on editing. But now, I need to do a group discussion portion, and need the audio from track 1 as well as the others and I am not sure how to mix them into the main audio track that the multicam process requires.
I hope I am clear in my explanation. In essence, how do you get a mix of tracks to show up onto track 1, the only audio track that seems to be able to be read by the multicam feature in Premiere 5.5?
Many thanks!!
Mark

Since I didn't want to ask a stupid question, I have been trying to do what
you suggested below, but I am not meeting with success (which means I am
doing it wrong :o)
I have made my edits in the multi Camera sequence I created and used the
Multi Cam "enabled" setting (labeled this sequence "Multi"), and then
placed the original multiple camera and tracks sequence (labeled
'source' which was first lined up and synced) into the video 2 track in the
multi cam sequence.
So now I have 2 tracks of the original "Source" sequence in the "multi"
sequence: one cut into shots and one uncut from the original sequence.
But, only the audio is coming in from the first track, even though the
tracks are all activated in the original sequence (nothing muted).
I know I am close, but not sure what I am doing wrong, and the audio from
the tracks is important for the final product.
Thanks again!
