Multicam Sequence Error

I have a 3-camera multicam sequence that is 26 minutes long. I've gone through and edited the sequence, cutting between cameras. But for some reason when I close my session and reopen, the sequence changes at 15:48. What happens is that camera 2 and 3 are dropped, and camera one becomes a freeze frame. The first part of the sequence is fine, but it just changes at 15:48 every time.
I can't figure out why this is happening, and I've already re-cut the sequence twice only to have the same problem. Anyone else experienced this before?

There does seem to be a bug with multicam and Premiere Pro CC.

Multicamera Problem - Sequence error

Hi everyone,
I captured 4 tape, 2 cameras, and when I edit my work in Multicamera I can't delete the clip from the timeline. An error appear:
Sequence error: Unable to add clip to sequence. Possible media limits problem in clip or sequence.
Any Idea to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much.

This has happened to me too, seems to be an intermittent problem with multiclip sequences. The only thing I could do was quit the application and load the latest autosave of the project and redo some work.
A quick google of the error message suggests there's no solution to this yet, seems to be a glitch or bug.

Preview render playback of multicam sequences causes freeze and crash

I have been editing a timeline with several multicam clips that crashes Premiere anytime I try to play back a rendered preview (green bar) area.
First I render the sequence—playback is initially OK. Then after about 10 minutes, often after I have switched back from another program, without fail the playback will stutter and then freeze altogether on certain clips. Gradually more and more clips on the timeline will 'corrupt' until no playback is possible; the program monitor freezes. When I attempt to Delete Render files, I get the beachball cursor and Ppro locks up completely, prompting a force-quit and sometimes a "serious error has occurred" dialog box and then a crash notice of type "I386_GPFLT"
OSX 10.9.4

I have tried so far:
-deleting preferences
-deleting cache
-deleting preview files
-swapping graphics cards
-switching to software-only playback
-swapping memory modules
-disabling Mavericks' "compressed memory" function
-changing cache and preview locations to another drive
-importing the project into a new one
The problem only occurs on timelines with multicam sequences. Does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas what's going on?

Still encountering this problem after latest update.

Premiere Pro 5.5 Multicam Sequence Not Playing

So I'm running into an snag with a project I am working on in Premiere. Everything was working fine last night, I just finished up color correction and audio sweetening. However this afternoon when I opened up the project, everything appeared fine (media loaded, no weird error messages), until I tried playing the timeline (edited multicam sequence). Nothing, then when i tried moving the playhead to a different spot in the timeline, it would take about 20sec before the new location would show in the program monitor. I tried playing it and still nothing. I tried opening a clip from my project bin in the referrence monitor and it won't play there either. Nothing happens when I try scrubbing through the video.
I have tried importing only a single sequence into a new project and same issue.. but if I open up a whole different project the video clips play fine. I have also tried creating a new project and importing individual clips that are used in my original project and they play fine there, but the moment I tried importing one of my edited sequences, everything stops playing. The one thing I did discover is if I import one of the original sequences were I synced my my multicam clips, the video plays fine, so it seems like it has something to do with my edited multicam sequences.
Any ideas as to why the edited multicam sequences would not be playing?
Thanks for any advice!

Was messing around with some stuff and just figured it out.
I hope all this makes sense....
I have three sequences:
1. clips synce together (used as my multicam sequence)
2. edited multicam sequence (8min long)
3. edited multicam sequence (2min long)
instead of adjust the audio for each individual clip in both sequences 2 & 3, I had simply adjusted the audio in sequence 1, which then changed the audio in both sequences 2 and 3 appropriately. I didn't think this would have effected anything since I have used the same logic in the past to make my first round of color correction when using a single multicam sequence to edit multiple lengths of as well as the fact that after I first added the eq effect, everything was still working fine till I opened the proejct up the next day.
Apparently that is what was causing the issues, cause I just went in and removed the audio eq effect from sequence 1 and now sequences 2 and 3 play fine.
Fuzzy Barsik- I really appreciate your input and all your advice. Thank you!

Multiple cuts from multicam sequence produce stacked video?

Hey everyone,
I don't know if this is by design or if I'm experiencing a bug.
I have created a multicam sequence. I want to take multiple cuts from it, so I set my first in and out points and drag that over to my sequence. After that, I set new in and out points and drag that over to my sequence, but instead of a multicam clip on the timeline, I get stacked layers of video.
I'd prefer if I could bring the multicam sequence over again.
Am I doing something wrong? Seems like it should work that way but maybe my workflow is not appropriate. Please share your thoughts, thank you.

Thanks for your answer. Extremely disappointed that Adobe can't get this simple stuff right.
CC isn't exactly living up to things very well today. Much easier (and quicker) to the M/C in FCPX, maybe I can XML it across later.
Also, PP CC crashed on me 9 times in 2 hours (the dialog that says a serious error has occurred). Not going well. FCPX (and everything else) is rock solid, so it's not a hardware problem.
It's a shame. There's been enough improvements in other things I'd actually begun to think a CC subscription may be worth it, but I think I'll stick with CS6 after all.

Media Manager Sequence Error when trying to archive video.

When we are done with a project we like to use media manager to consolidate only the used video (with handles) to save space.
This has never posed a problem until lately. On about five of the last projects when the media manager begins reconnecting media we get the following error:
"Sequence Error: Unable to add clip to sequence. Possible media limits problem in clip or sequence"
The only option is to abort so a new sequence is never created. Also, it will not tell me which clip caused the error. I tried moving everything into a new sequence and got the same error. Then I tried it without handles, then I tried it without deleting the unused media. I have also tried the projects on other computers (All 10.6.4, all FCP 7.02) All had the same error.
The only other reference to this error I can find deals with a multicam edit. None of these projects have any multicam edits.
Anyone got any ideas what is going wrong? I have tried to think if we are doing anything differently lately and the only thing i can come up with is using more of Tiffen's DFX filters.

May have found the solution. Short story: I think it was some weirdness trying to media manage a sequence with a freeze frame of a video clip. I have had some issues in the past with final cut handling freeze frames.
Long story and workaround is available here:

Help with audio in multicam sequence

I did a couple searches and couldn't find a discussion addressing this issue -- apologies if it's been brought up recently.
I am learning to edit with the multicam function in CS6, and I was wondering how to make sure the audio and video are connected in the timeline when performing a ripple or roll edit. I have a few seconds of "ummm" that I need to remove, but when I use either tool, only the video is removed, and not the audio.
I looked to make sure both are linked, and it says that they are. Any suggestions on how to make sure I can fine tune my multicam sequence in the timeline and make sure it edits both the audio and video at once?
Thanks.

When audio and video are linked, adjusting one will also adjust the other by default. I suspect some sort of operator or observer error here, but it's tough to know exactly where without seeing what you see. Post a screen shot or two.

Function sequence error

Hi Chris, we where using this Java code with TimesTen 5.1.34:
while (rs.next()) {
associatedMsbs.add(Integer.toString(rs.getInt(HGROUPID)));
// Prepare object to insert in database
SvcLog_VO svcLog = new SvcLog_VO();
svcLog.setLogId(svcLogDAO.getlogIdNextVal(conn));
svcLog.setService( CommonConstants.MobileSwitchboardSvcId );
svcLog.setOperType( CommonConstants.OPER_TYPE_UPDREL );
svcLog.setEntityType( CommonConstants.ENTITY_TYPE_MOBILESWITCHBOARD);
svcLog.setEntityId( rs.getInt(HGROUPID) );
svcLog.setRelEntityId( woUserId );
// Insert object in database
svcLogDAO.insertData(svcLog, conn);
This code no longer works in TimesTen 7.0.3. We receive the following error:
[TimesTen 7.0.3.0.0 ODBC Driver]Function sequence error.
We had to change the code this way:
while (rs.next()) {
// Prepare object to insert in database
SvcLog_VO svcLog = new SvcLog_VO();
svcLog.setLogId(svcLogDAO.getlogIdNextVal(conn));
svcLog.setService( CommonConstants.MobileSwitchboardSvcId );
svcLog.setOperType( CommonConstants.OPER_TYPE_UPDREL );
svcLog.setEntityType( CommonConstants.ENTITY_TYPE_MOBILESWITCHBOARD);
svcLog.setEntityId( rs.getInt(HGROUPID) );
svcLog.setRelEntityId( woUserId );
// Store object in ArrayList
svcLogs.add(svcLog);
// Insert the objects in the ArrayList in database
for (int i = 0; i < svcLogs.size(); i++) {
SvcLog_VO svcLog = (SvcLog_VO)svcLogs.get(i);
svcLogDAO.insertData(svcLog, conn);
Once we split the code in two, first iterating the ResultSet and then inserting the objects, it works properly again. Is there any known issue in TimesTen about this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, Chris:
The code where this occurs is the following:
public void insertParameters(String xxx1, String xxx2, String xxx3,
int xxx4, Connection conn) throws TTException, SQLException {
PreparedStatement ps = null;

try {
query = queryInsert;
ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setInt(1, xxx1);
ps.setString(2, xxx2);
ps.setString(3, xxx3);
ps.setString(4, xxx4);
// If debug is activated, the query is printed
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
ReadableQuery rq = new ReadableQuery();
rq.addParam(new Integer(xxx1));
rq.addParam(new String(xxx2));
rq.addParam(new String(xxx3));
rq.addParam(new String(xxx4));
log.debug(" Query to execute .. [" + rq.get(query) + "]");
ps.executeUpdate();
// Exception handling
catch (Exception ex) {
log.error(ex);
throw new TTException(ex);
} // Resources are closed
finally {

How do you add additional video clips to a multicamera sequence after aligning multiple cameras?

We shoot extended videos (1-2 hours in length) all the training videos I've seen for CC walk you though aligning the inital cuts and then editing, but they don't say how to add the rest of the clips from that session to each video track. Any tips?

Thanks Mark - That worked. By the way, in case there are any other rookies out there trying to create a multicam sequence like this, make sure that you 1) create the MultiCam Source Sequence and then 2) right click on the Multicam sequence icon in the project window and then 3) choose open in timeline.
Once the project is open, verify that the camera views are sync'd and then drag the follow on video clips to the end of the appropriate video track. Once that is done, right click on the Multicam icon again and choose New Sequence from clip and your complete project will be ready to edit.
Thanks Mark for the quick response.

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence?

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence? Is there some kind of window I can open where they will show up? I am scrubbing a timeline and I would like to see all the cameras at once.

The multicam monitor only shows multiple clips at once when they are part of a mutlicam sequence. is there some reason you don't want to use them inside a multicam sequence for previewing?
Here is a possible workaround, if your workflow circumstances will permit it:
Apply a pip preset effect to each clip in the timeline. Use UL, UR, LL, LR presets and up to four video tracks will display at once. If you need to see more than that, you'll need to tweak their position parameters by hand. When you're done previewing them all at once you just need to delete their effects from the Effects Controls panel.
I know it's not that neat or quick, but it will let you see everything at once in the program monitor.

Function sequence error. in 64bit Windows 2008 Server.

Hi All,
Pardon me if the posting is not in the correct group.
I am migrating my application from 32bit(Windows 2003 Server) to 64bit (Windows 2008 Server R2).
I am getting the following while trying to execute a SQL command
Encountered ODBC error -1: S1010, 0, [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Function sequence error .
Basically internal function call is SQLExecute() function call. This works perfectly for Windows 2003 Server 32bit. I tried the command execute at the background from the command prompt and it is working.
I checked the squence of call.We have two consecutive SQLBindParameter function call and then we call SQLExecute. Is this sequence incorrect in case of 64bit? I also checked the return code given by SQLExecute which is 99.
Any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Choppy playback/rendering for one camera in a multicam sequence

Any help is appreciated with this weird, specific problem...
I have a sequence (let's call it "MAIN") which contains many separate multicam sequences (let's call them "M1" through "M5"). Each of these multicam sequences is made up of footage from two cameras, a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon C100. All footage in M1-5 was shot sequentially, and neither camera changed settings, although the cameras recorded with different settings from each other. The 5DIII recorded at 1080p 23.976fps. The C100 at 1080i 60Hz. This footage makes up all the assets in my project panel and they have no special media interpretation.
Here's the problem. Everything looks/plays fine until I get to M3 in my MAIN sequence. When I switch to camera 2 (the 5DIII), the playback in the program monitor looks about half the framerate of the original footage and all of my other sequences. Camera 1 plays smoothly. Camera 2 in any of the other multicam sequences plays smoothly (while in MAIN). When I open up M3 in the timeline, it plays smoothly. When I open up the original video in the source window, it plays smoothly. Everything plays smoothly but camera 2 in M3 (in MAIN) in the program monitor.
I rendered a clip of MAIN that has M3 cam 1, to cam 2, back to cam 1. Camera 1 is smooth, while camera 2 plays back at about half frame rate and looks interlaced. So this is a real problem and not just some display issue.
The interlaced look of the render made me think there's some sequence settings that were off, whether they were in MAIN or M1-M5. However, the sequence settings of M1-M5 are all identical, and the sequence settings of MAIN are not affecting any of the other multicam sequences.
I tried restarting my computer and deleting my cache. No dice.
Premiere Pro CC
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
HP Z820 w/ 2 x Xeon E5-2630
128GB RAM
GTX-570
Addendum: After playing around with sequence settings a bit, but after resetting them to be all as they were, now M2 is giving choppy playback on camera 1, while camera 2 plays smoothly. What in the world is going on here?

The LEDs were reflecting on the book that the GoPro was on but I got it to work with a garbage matte using a frame grab with the lights off and including the book. It worked a treat! But I am going to remember the dark grey matte thing; less is more and all that. Thank you for your input, much appreciated. Ooh and as for multicam syncing I just nested the composite shot and used that as a single camera source.

How to edit a clip in a multicam sequence (CS6)?

I am using Premiere CS6 on Mac, I have a multicam sequence set up (2 cam).
I just want to color correct cam 2 to match cam 1 and I cannot figure it out. Everything I try applies the correction to the entire sequence.
If someone can provide exact steps to apply color correction to one clip in the sequence only (it's just brightness/contract, nothing complicated), so that it's reflected in the multicam sequence I'd be grateful. Even a link to a tutorial would be good as I cannot seem to find it online (almost everything points to CC which I don't use and is totally different than CS6).
Please help!

Ok, I finally figured it out, no thanks to Adobe's crap "Help" system, which is missing MANY steps...
1. Right-click the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in the Project tab (NOT the multicam sequence you're editing). It's the one with the green/blue lines perfectly lined up.
2. Choose Open in Timeline.
3. In the Timeline, make the edits you want to the clip you want (in this case, Brightness/Contrast on clip 2)
4. Go to Window > Multi-Camera Monitor
5. You'll see your source clips stacked in the window, and you can fine tune from here.
6. Click on the Multi-Camera Sequence you're editing in the Timeline, and the Monitor should update to reflect your changes.
You can toggle back and forth between these sequences in the timeline, adjusting as you need.
This was incredibly easy for me to document, I really fail to understand why the Help file couldn't be bothered. It's completely missing things like what the difference is between the source multicam sequence and the program multicam sequence, how to edit a clip in your multicam sequence, and how the multicam monitor works. Really pisspoor documentation, but at this point, I don't expect anything else from Adobe.

Making sub-clips in a multicam sequence

Hi,
I used two cameras conducting while conducting an interview, and I'd like to be able to make sub-clips of the parts I want to use of my multicam sequence. Is that possible?
Warm regards,
Bob Fischer

I have a similar issue. I have a two camera shoot that I have synched up. I haven't done the multicam edit yet.
It is of a museum exhibit opening gala. So, there is a linear timeline of singers, speakers, singers, speakers.
< Clip One --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
< Clip Two --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
What I need to do is to take the footage - 35 Minutes - and trim it down to 3 minutes. What I need to do is show singers doing one song (multicam) then fade out the audio, bring up b-roll footage and audio, bring back in singers, fade out singers and bring in speakers (singers as backround audio while speaker speaks) and - this important - speakers are part of the two clips that make up the entire multicam sequence.
So, I could multicam everything first and then use that footage as my basis for cutting, adding b-roll and cutting entire speeches, songs, etc.
Or, I could set markers in the original multiclip synched sequence marking the beginnings of each "event" I could use the razor tool and start hacking it up and sliding it around. Then resynch all cut clips from the two sequences and multicam from there.
Is this clear at all?
Thanks.
