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.

Multiple values from a sequence ?

Hi all,
how can i guarantee that a user gets multiple values from a sequence in a row? (for example : 100, 101 ,102, 103)
It should not happened that another user gets a sequence value such as 102.
Can i solve this with sequences or do i need a table?
thanks

Why would you want to do this? The easiest way of implementing it is through a code control table, which can be locked by user 1. However, this is only easy for you, not for your users. Consider: user 2 cannot do their work until user 1 commits. Note that if user 1 inserts three records (101, 102, 103) and then commits, user 2 can grab 104. User 1 can't insert any more records until user 2 commits. At which point user 1 can have 105.
If you really have a business need for such a palaver then you ought to implement it through user-owned objects - sequences or tables - with each user assigned a unique range e.g. user 1 gets 101 to 150, user 2 gets 151 to 200. When a user exhausts their range give them a new chunk. This is an admin overhead and it also means that you can no longer guarantee that ID 157 is more recent than 133.
To repeat: why do you want to do this?

Does Premiere Pro CC export omf from multicam sequences?

I've got an hour long multicam sequence already cut and ready for OMFs to be exported when I realized that CS6 does not export the "inside" of the multicam audio clip (which is basically a nested clip). I've already edited the sequence to picture lock so there are many, many, many cuts (not just video, but also audio) so it's not as simple as unnest an audio clip - I would have to unnest ALL the multicam audio clip per cut (and there are a lot of cuts). Is there any way possible to work around this debacle? Does the new Premiere Pro CC fix this problem? From what I've researched, there isn't any proof in writing or from anyone's experience. For the future, I now know I have to unnest the audio before I go do any multclipping session, but for now - I need the quickest workaround and my fear is that I may have to just go to every audio clip and unnest...
I've tried doing the Audition workaround, but that simply creates an OMF of the nest itself and not what is inside the nest which holds audio for two separate people. Using the Audition workaround basically merges the first person's audio resulting in the second person to be completely gone.
Any thoughts?

Hi yfury,
In Premiere Pro CC, you can flatten your multi-cam sequence and then export an OMF from there. Right-click > MultCamera > Flatten.

Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

Hello fellow editors!
I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.
I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

Insufficient content when cutting from sequence as individual clips

When cutting from one sequence into another, with an in point set on the source sequence and an in and out set on the program sequence, I get a "Insufficient Content for Edit" error.
This occurs when I have the "Insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" toggle deselected (so as to cut in the individual clips, not a nested sequence). If I select this toggle the edit works, but obviously as a nested sequence, which I do not want.
Is anyone else having this issue?

We are getting nested sequences whenever we try to cut in a sequence that is more than a minute or two long. We can't get it to cut in anything but a nest for longer clips and if the in/out points are in excess of four minutes, Premiere crashes.
Do you get the Image/cache error?
I have contacted Adobe customer service. They kept me on the line for an hour deleting my settings and playing around and never found a solution. So far all we can do is cut in little tiny bits at a time.
I wonder if your problem is similar, how much material are you trying to cut in?

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.

"Making multicam sequence from 3 other sequences" not showing video properly

Well, problem in a nutshell. I created a multicam sequence, using 3 other sequences. But somehow, it's not showing it 100% correctly. Like, the main window shows the video, like it should be, and the smaller windows, are just off sync for some reason (except the only sequence that doesn't have any empty caps on it). Any explanation & fix for this?
Instant workaround that I just invented. I put some empty title on the empty caps, and now It shows it, like it should be in the smaller windows. But if anybody knows why it did it in the first place, would be clad to know.

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 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!

How to preserve multiple mono audio in Multicam sequence?

I'm a new FCP7 -> Premiere convert and seem to be unable to preserve true multiple mono audio in a multicam source sequence.
I have 3 video clips, each with 2 mono audio channels, interpreted correctly as multiple mono (showing as "2 Mon" in Project panel).
When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips, Premiere Pro Cs6 is creating a sequence with a Master audio track that is stereo. I cannot find a way to converting the stereo Master audio track to multiple mono audio track after the sequence is automatically created. When I look in "Sequence Settings" of the multi-cam sequence, there is no "Tracks" tab that is used to set this up in a new sequence. I have also tried switching all the preferences/audio settings to Mono with no luck.
Note: This problem is NOT related to enabling/disabling the additional audio tracks in the multicam sequence, I understand that only track 1 of a multi-cam sequence is enabled by default.
Thanks,
Robert

When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips
Don't do that. Do things "old school". Meaning you manually create an "Original" sequence for the 3 clips, add them in and sync them up. You then manually create a second "Multicam" sequence and nest the "Original" into that. Right click and Enable Multicam.
Doing it that way, you'll have the option to specify what type of audio tracks you want for each sequence.

Multicam Sync - multiple files from each camera

I've been using FCPX for a while and it's multicam system just works. However, I'm now working on a collaborative project where the NLE is Premiere Pro CC and I need to get lots of multicam sequences ready to edit.
There are five cameras and due to the length of the sequence there are between 5 and 9 files per camera as well as 4 full length audio tracks.
In FCPX I can set all clips from camera 1 to angle 1, camera 2 to angle 2 and so on. When it syncs the clips everything from camera 1 is on the same track, all lined up. Same for camera 2, 3, 4 etc.
In Premiere Pro it seems to be creating a new track for every clip from every camera and I'm ending up with 40+ tracks that need collapsing.
What am I missing? How can I tell Premiere Pro that clips 1-5 all belong to a single camera and put them all on one track, likewise the clips for camera 2 and so on?
I looked through the documentation and lots of video tutorials on Youtube etc and no one seems to address it.

Thanks for your answer. Extremely disappointed that Adobe can't get this simple stuff right.

How do I stop Final Cut from seperating video on timecode breaks?

Working on a dive video which has many start/stops breaking time code and final cut wants to create a new video for each one, how do I stop it from doing that? I want just one long video, timecode breaks and all.

You can control whether start/stop indicators create individual media files by selecting or deselecting the “Create new clip on Start/Stop” checkbox in the Clip Settings tab of the Log and Capture window.
In the General tab of the User Preferences window, the option you choose from the “On timecode break” pop-up menu determines how timecode breaks affect capture, but the Warn After Capture option is disregarded to avoid capturing media files that contain breaks in the middle of an MPEG-2 GOP.
To choose how Final Cut Pro handles start/stop detection when capturing HDV footage
If you have not already done so, choose Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup, choose HDV from the Format pop-up menu, and then choose an Easy Setup from the Use pop-up menu.
Choose File > Log and Capture (or press Command-8), then click Clip Settings.
Select or deselect the “Create new clip on Start/Stop” checkbox to turn start/stop detection on or off:
Start/Stop detection on: When the checkbox is selected, a new media file and corresponding clip are created each time Final Cut Pro detects start/stop indicators in the incoming HDV stream.
Start/Stop detection off: When the checkbox is deselected, one continuous media file and corresponding clip are created, and start/stop indicators are ignored.
Note: The option to turn off start/stop detection is not available when capturing footage shot on a JVC HDV camcorder because the nature of the MPEG-2 stream requires creation of a new media file at each start/stop indicator.

Import from Premiere Elements to CS6 - Video sequence missing

Hi,
I just switched from Elements 10 to Premier Pro CS6 and I tried to import my PREL files. Everything went fine, except that I only see my audio sequences not the video's and titles. If I play the video, everything is like it should, even the titles appear.
There are two sequence files in the project window. One seems to be empty, but at least the video tracks are visible. The other sequence is my elements project but I can only see the audio tracks and can't see the titles in the tracks.
I hope you understand my problem.

General wisdom is to finish current projects in the software and version they were started in, and only use the new software or version for new projects.

How to edit source sequence from 'multicam mode' sequence (not bearing multicam icon)?

I'm 'multicam editing' what i believe I setup as a regular sequence, then enabled (i believe by nesting) as opposed to a textbook multicam sequence setup with multicam icon where you setup a 'source' then a 'target' prior to starting. my 'multicam' sequence that works like a charm does not bear the multicam icon. Is there a difference between the two or are they essentially the same?
I was able to switch cameras on the fly like a charm so i 'multicam' edited an entire show when I realized I had 1 minor audio-to-picture beat-mismatch to correct in the source.
I read that to fix this, press Ctrl+Shift+F where you want to open the source sequence in the Timeline panel (and this did open expanded tracks as expected near that designated point in the timeline) so i made the quick edit and saved changes. But now playing back my multicam sequence (that does not have a multicam icon), I'm not sure what i must do to see those changes so i can continue/finish my show edit? it isn't automatically doing this as i would expect.
i'm forced to wonder what's going on, what 'source' I actually edited, and how or if it is connected to my multicam sequence if at all. my icons seem reversed to me i.e. the sequence with expanded independent a/v tracks bears the 'multicam' icon whereas the sequence I actually did the multicam switching on the fly does not bear the 'multicam icon' or the audio-picture realignment edit I made in the expanded tracks.
if these two are related, why do edits in the expanded sequence not reflect in the collapsed. is there any other way to reveal/expand the multicam sequence? so confused.

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.

Best Workflow for Multicam Sequences?

I have a project that includes video from 2 cameras and audio from 2 audio recorders. I synced everything up using PluralEyes, then imported it back into Premiere. Then I opened the synced sequence, deleted the camera audio, nested the video, and enabled multicam. After that, I started going through and editing the multicam footage by selecting the appropriate camera by pressing 1 or 2 (or command-clicking on the appropriate camera in multicam view). My question is, now that I've synced everything up and finished my rough multicam edits, how do I mark the selections of the sequence that I would like to keep?
For example, part of the sequence is an interview. Instead of just cutting the sequence up, I would like to first mark and label the portions of the interview that I would like to keep. That way I can easily go through and know what the interviewee is speaking about in each clip without having to play the whole thing. I understand that to do this on the original clips in the source monitor, I would need to create subclips. But how do I do it on a synced multicam sequence? Is there a way to open the sequence in the source monitor? What's the best workflow for something like this?
I've been using Premiere for all of two days (switched from FCPX), so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I use comment markers for this sort of thing as I prefer to keep my project bins thin. To open a sequence in the source monitor, right-click on the sequence in the project window and select Open in Source Monitor. Position the play head at a point of interest and press M. Go to Window>Markers to view a list of markers and add comments. When you want to review a marked section click the corresponding marker in the marker window and the play head will advance to that point. Btw, you can do this within the timeline and in any monitor, not just the source monitor.
