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 cam sequence - how to take audio from multiple tracks?

I have a multi cam sequence with multiple audio sources (cameras plus separate audio tracks).
According to this page, in order to have multiple audio sources, I need to mix them into a track in the source sequence:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WSADF1BC06-B8FB-4f23-8446-8D8F8539D7BD.html
So I mixed several tracks into submix 1. But when I use the multi cam monitor, submix 1 is not available as an audio source.
Is it perhaps possible to mix audio into a non submix track? If so, how?
premiere cs4

Multicam can only use audio 1, or audio follows video (you hear whichever track you see). There's no way to hear more than one track at a time.

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?

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

Creating a cd with multiple tracks from a multitrack session

I am trying to burn an audio cd with multiple tracks created from a multitrack session. Adobe 3.0 used to make this an easy process. I am only able to burn a cd with a single track regardless of range markers, cd track markers, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and thank you for your reply. I am used to the functionality of audition 3.0. I place tracks from my hard drive into a session (usually 18 or so). I used to add markers, then file>export>multitrack mixdown>entire session. The resulting mixdown used to keep the markers. I am not familiar with how to save each track separately and I place the markers in the file during the session creation but before export>mixdown, etc.
Thanks

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

Replacing camera audio with production audio (separately recorded)

Hello,
I'm halfway through an edit for a client, and they'd like to replace the camera audio with their separately recorded audio files. Unfortunately, the time code of these audio files doesn't match the video, so I'm going to have to sync each master clip using slates.
The thing is, this project has a ton of cuts. It's one thing to sync up each shot using slates, but it's entirely another matter to manually sync each individual cut, as a given shot might have four or five jump cuts within it.
How do I replace the audio in my master media files such that my timeline (current edit) utilizes the synced master files?
thanks

You could close your current project.
Create a new project.
Import all your video files that need audio replaced.
Import the new audio files.
Put each video track onto the timeline, alter timeline tc to match the original file, and sync new audio to them.
Export each one as a new file, in a new folder, with the same name as the original.
Close project.
Move original files to a new location, or put them on an external drive and take it offline.
Open original project and reconnect to the new files.

Multi Camera Editing with Matrox CODEC ( VS4 ) Card

Hello All.
Setup
I am recording 4 inputs from the Matrox VS4 via Wirecast 4.2 and also tried 5.0
- 1080i @ 100Mbps
- All the video footage play perfectly with no problems what so ever
- I Have installed the Matrox VFW Software Codecs of a system which DOES NOT have the VS4 card
- I can edit 1 video with NO PROBLEM.
Problem
- Using Adobe Premiere 7.1 CC with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
- Using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0 with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
- I have tried with 2 cameras up to 4 cameras and I get the same problem.#
Other Test
- I have tried 12 x videos which are MP4 in multi camera editing with NO PROBLEMS!!!
- I am using 4 x 128GB SSD in RAID 0 ( 1450 MB/s) - Through put is not an issue.
- I have also reduced the MB/s on the ISO capture of 50MB/s
This is the CODEC you need to have installed on your computer in order to edit the view/edit the videos recorded by the Matrox VS4:
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/vfw_software_codecs/downloads/softwares/ver sion1.0/
The Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs let you render and play back Matrox .avi files in your VFW programs without having Matrox video hardware installed. This version provides codecs that were previously available only on systems that have particular Matrox video hardware, such as Matrox Axio. This includes the Matrox DVCPRO HD codec, and "+ Alpha" versions of the Matrox uncompressed and MPEG-2 I-frame codecs. As well, the Matrox VFW MPEG-2 I-frame HD codec now lets you render and play back Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files in all HD formats (720p, 1440x1080i/p, and full-size 1080i/p).
The following VFW software codecs are provided for use on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems:
Matrox DV/DVCAM
Matrox DVCPRO
Matrox DVCPRO50
Matrox DVCPRO HD
Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
Matrox Uncompressed in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
Matrox Offline HD
Matrox M-JPEG and HDV (playback only)
Is this an issue that is present the Premier 7.1 CC or the CODEC or even both?
Thank you all.

Hello,
Please send me an email at;

Multiple Thumb Slider with Multiple Track Colors

Hi All,
Does any one implemented a Multiple Thumb Slider component with Multiple Track Colors. Please find the screen shot of the component below which I am talking about.
Any ideas or any link or sample source of code given would be highly appreciated.
If I drag any thumb the colored section between any two thumbs should increase or decrease.
Thanks,
Bhasker

Hi,
There is a sort of workaround I made myself. Basically you set up your slider into a canvas container and add new boxes exactly at the position between your thumb buttons, in order to imitate your 'tracks'. Look the image below and notice that the black tracks are in fact VBoxes. For different colors, make each VBox different backgroundColor style.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

      import mx.containers.VBox;
      var tracks : Array = [];
      public function changeSliderHandler(event : Event) : void {
         for (var i : int = 0,j : int = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
            var track : VBox = tracks[i] as VBox;
            track.setStyle('left', slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
            track.setStyle('right', slider.width - slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
      public function addTrackHandler(event : Event) : void {
         var track : VBox = new VBox();
         track.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#000000');
         track.width = 0;
         track.height = 2;
         track.setStyle('bottom', '7');
         tracks.push(track);
         canvas.addChild(track);
         slider.values = slider.values.concat(0, 0);
         slider.thumbCount += 2;
          ]]>

Trying to create DVD with multiple tracks that automatically goes to a slug

I'm doing a DVD for a live show where video and live performance are going back and forth. I want to make a DVD with multiple tracks that plays a movie and returns to a looping black slug (while the live act is happening). Then when the tech person presses next chapter it goes to the next movie (or chapter). That chapter/movie then returns to a looping black slug at the end of the movie (while the next live act plays) and so on and so on. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I would think one of the easiest ways to do this is make each clip end jump to a black menu with a hidden button on it that links to the next clip. The menu can stay there as long as you like. Instead of pressing the next chapter button, get your tech to press the 'enter' or 'play' button... if there is only one button on each black menu, then this is what will activate. Have each button point to the next clip that you want. Use the title button to get back to a main menu, if you ahve created one for the disc.

Screen came up with multiple colored lines

When I plugged my phone into the wall to charge it came up with multiple colored lines. It has never done this. I immediately unplugged it and plugged it into my computer. When it started to sync it made a noise like when you scrunch up a piece of paper. The screen looked fine at this point. I checked a few minutes later and a message came up saying that no calls could be sent or received. Contact an apple dealer. I have not downloaded any thing that would be a no, no. Oh and now it won't charge. But it gets really hot to the touch when plugged into charge. It just gives a low battery warning. What did I do wrong???????

Sounds like your logic board went bad. Contact Apple and get it serviced.

Multi-camera capture with timecode

I recently directed a 4 camera shoot with all cameras sync'd using timecode. I intend to edit the final product using Final Cut Studio 2. However, for now I only have iMovie and Final Cut Express HD. Is it possible to capture this project with timecode in iMovie and import it to Final Cut Studio with timecode so all cameras lock to time? If so, what is the most practical process? Or should I wait until I can obtain Final Cut Studio 2 to capture? Thanks in advance!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

welcome Tony to the  boards ...
'multi-track captures editing' is one of the advantages of FCP, compared to its lil' brother FCE.. and iM, anyhow...
and, iM has a very different media file handling, ...
wait, 'til FCP is on your drive..

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.

Quicktime .mov containers with multiple tracks not working on iPhone

Hello,
I have several .mov files (containers) that all include H.264 mp4 video tracks and AAC sound tracks.
Some of the .mov files only include one video track and one sound track, but some contain multiple, as I have joined a few clips together into one container. Each .mov file was saved as a Standalone file, so no reference files are needed.
All of them play perfectly in Quicktime and iTunes and all sync with both AppleTV and my iPhone. They also play perfectly in AppleTV, but my iPhone only plays files with a single video and audio track. If the .mov container includes more than one video track, the iPhone will play the first track and then freeze when it should transition to the next track. (Is this a known iPhone bug?)
My question is: Is there a way to merge video tracks and sound tracks within a .mov container without having to re-encode/export the file to an iPhone format?
The reason I do not want to export everything to an iPhone format is because I already tried that, and the total size of all the exported .m4v files is around 10 GB but the size of the .mov files is only 5.6 GB, yet I do not see any difference in quality. And my iPhone is only 8 GB, so I can't sync all of the files if I use the iPhone format.
I've also tried several different settings with iSquint, but the smallest I can get the files down to is 7.4 GB without compromising the quality, and that leaves very little space left on the iPhone.
Note: The iPhone is a 2G phone with the latest firmware.

I'm having the exact same issue with my iphone 4s.. I have a belkin wireless router with multiple other devices connecting effortlessly every time. I have my old iphone 3G, and ipod touch, and 2 laptops connecting with no issues. I am receiving the same error message as you. Lame.. If this doesn't resolve itself soon, I am returning the iphone 4s.

Rapid Tapeless Multi-camera workflow with OnLocation

I am wondering whether anyone is using OnLocation for rapid (read almost instant) tapeless workflow.
What I would like to do is:
1 - Use 4 Sony V1U HDV cameras and ISO record all of them as HDV files.
2 - Record the ISO on four separate laptops running OnLocation via a Firewire feed from each camera.
3 - Store the clips (as they are being recorded) onto four external eSATA drives (one for each camera/laptop combo)
4 - After 90 minute recording is complete, move the four external eSATA drives to a central workstation running CS4 and equipped with 4 eSATA ports.
5 - Then WITHOUT copying the files from the external drives, immediately start editing a multi-cam session.
Can I do this?
Are there any "gotcha's?"
What kind of of pre-processing of the clips is necessary if any? (audio or video "conforming"?)
Does timecode stay with the files?
How long after I mount the drives might I be ready to start editing? 1 minute? 5 minutes 1 hour or more?
I need to do a FAST turnaround, but cannot do a live switch.......
Thanks!
Mike Fayette

That actually sounds pretty cool. The only question I'd maybe ask is what is cheaper: 4 laptops with onlocation, or 4 solid state recording devices for your cameras (like Convergent's little one which records from the HD-SDI port of the camera)?
If you need the functionality of OL, like scopes and what not, then sure it sounds like it's the way to go. Just sayin there may be alternatives?
