No audio in mulit-camera editing

PLEASE can somebody help me?
I keep losing sound in CS4 multicam editing in two ways:
1) This has only happened once, I sync all my video/audio in a sequence, start a new 'multicam' sequence, sound works fine but as soon as I click Clip/multi-camera/enable the sound disappears. I HAVE CHECKED that the correct audio stream is selected in my original timeline however the sound wont play?! But if I Un-enable the multicam, the sound comes back
2) This happens a lot. As I'm editing in multi-camera editing after a while and a number of cuts/edits, the sound just stops at that edit onwards. So for instance I'm editing a 10 min piece with 20 plus cuts from one camera to another then at a certain point I make a cut to a camera and the sound stops from that point on.
Pleae can someone help, I cannot find any answers anywhere online.
Thanks

I too am having the sound problem. The audio just disappears after making several camera switching edits. If you hit "undo" the sound will come back at that point but if you once again try to make a camera switch, the sound will be gone again at that edit point forward. It doesn't matter which camera you select after that...the audio will be gone. This has happened to me on two projects. What I did to work around it was to place the same multicamera sequence on the timeline again following the point where the sound disappears. I then edit the added sequence so that it starts at the point where I lost the sound. You can now edit this sequence and select among cameras and the sound will stay. But this time consuming and I shouldn't have to do this. Is it related to the number of camera edits that you put in a sequence?

  • No sound in mulit camera edit. CS3 premeire pro

    Followed instructions exactly on tutorial disc for syncronizing clips.
    I have 2 .avi clips with the sound dis-abled and a .wav file with the sound enabled.
    All three clips have been syncronized and multi cam edit has been enabled.
    In multi camera edit window: When playing there is NO SOUND.
    My OS is Windows XPpro
    I am using CS3 production premium.
    Why is there NO SOUND?

    Hurray!
    I unlinked Video/audio 1 and deleted the audio track 1.
    I then moved the .wav file in Audio 3 into the now vaccant audio track 1. Making sure to have the audio selected for that track.
    IT WORKED. IT WORKS. I NOW HAVE AUDIO IN MY MULTI CAM EDIT WINDOW. The audio ( .wav file ) that I want to use.
    Thanks for jarring my brain in the right direction. I can now FINALLY finish the wedding video.
    They will be so so happy to finally receive it.
    Thanks so much Stan.

    I hear you, but I don't see how that work flow could have ever worked in CS3 (or other versions - I'm still CS3) unless the .wav is in Audio 1.
    In addition to my suggestion above, I suppose you could put the wav in track 1 with no video in v1; and put the cams in v2 and 3.  Keep the audio set to NOT follow cams, and then select between cam 2 and cam 3 for the video.  It won't matter whether you mute tracks 2 and 3; you won't hear them anyway.  You should hear only track 1 audio.
    Here's the CS3 help file:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/index.html
    Now I may have to take back what I said.  I see that the help file says that if you select DO NOT follow cam for audio, it will use the audio in the selected track.  So perhaps you used to select that track (I assume audio 3) and do not have it selected now (in the multicam source sequence).

  • No audio in multi-cam edit

    I finally managed a near perfect sync of my 3 sources and am ready to do the multi-cam edit thing. Except, when I bring the source sequence into the multi-cam sequence and enable the source sequence for multi-cam, there's no audio when i go play it or edit in multi-cam.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks for any help you can throw at me,

  • HOW CAN I DO MULTI CAM EDITING, OR MULTI CLIP EDITING

    I want to know how i could do mulit cam editing or multiclip editing with final cut express.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Color correct after multi cam edit

    Hi Y'all,
    I've just completed my mulit cam edit from a 2 cam shoot. I now want to drop a color corrector filter
    on just camera 1. Is there a way to drop the filter onto one clip and have it apply to the rest of the clips
    or do I have to highlight each clip from camera 1 and then paste attributes?
    THANKS!

    The only way I could think of would be to duplicate the full clip on the finder level, color correct the entire clip and export it with current settings and then reconnect all the clips from that reel to the exported qt.  Multiclips can get a little quirky so I'd probably collapse all my multiclipls first.  If you moved your original clip at the finder level (with fcp closed) and replace it in it's original location with the new file and rename the new file to match the old name exactly, fcp should reconnect automatically.
    Maybe there's a faster way to do this.  Generally I move each angle to it's own video track and then use the t key to select everything in that track and apply the correction. 

  • No Audio when multi-camera monitor up

    For somer reason there is no audio playback when ever I open up the multi-camera monitor to edit. The audio does playback in the timeline though. Can anyone help? thanks

  • Multicam Edit with Audio from 2 Cam

    I'm editing a multicam project with 5 cameras.  I want to use the audio from 2 cameras.  What is the best way to do this?
    Right now I have the main audio all the way down and I dragged just the audio from the 2 cams I needed onto the timeline.  They aren't part of the angle viewer.  Is there another way.?  I had to manually sync it.  Hope that makes sense.

    In a multicam you can choose to switch audio and video, only audio or only video, so you can just use the 5 angles corresponding to the 5 cameras, and work with that.
    It is perfectly easy to do in Angle Viewer. Just click the appropriate button at the top of the Angle Viewer.
    In the picture above the "video only" button (blue) is selected; in this situation, if you click to cut to a different angle you'll cut and switch only the video, and keep the same angle for audio. You can click the audio/video or the audio only whenever you need, and it will act accordingly. Very easy, very effective.

  • 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!

  • Using Audio Sync for Multi-Cam Edits Premiere Pro CC

    Hello everyone - I wanted to share some issues I've come across while using Audio to sync multiple camera angles....
    For my music video shoot I have two cameras and an external recorder where I capture the audio and then edit in GarageBand or Adobe Audition. The problem I've discovered is that when I sync the clips using audio it will degrade the quality of my finalized audio clip.
    Basically, something is happening to the audio clip quality once Premiere completed the synchronization process. I've rendered the video, exported the video etc... But there is still audio quality degradation.
    I've compared this with Final Cut Pro X and the Audio in FCP X remains unchanged and is not altered in any way.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Update: I just happened happened to have a pair of ath m50s lying around.... put them on and I can see that in the multi cam sequence, I can hear only out of the left ear... once I drag and drop something to my timeline the audio's good again...
    Sorry for this question... operator???
    I shoot tech videos on YouTube and I edit my own videos, so I guess I am the operator & observer here...
    Am shooting a tutorial...
    Cam 1 - My Camcorder that shoots the phone
    Cam 2 - Actually a screen recorder that records the steps on screen & audio from webcam
    Audio - Blue Spark Digital recording to audacity
    Now if I merge Cam 1 & Audio or Cam 2 & Audio alls fine... I can check the audio meters and everythings the same as before
    But if I create a multicamera sequence then the audio output is about 20% lower (and no Premiere's not using the audio source from Cam1 or 2 here since they are too low and am 100% sure its not either of those)
    I guess am messing up something but am unable to identify what..
    Syncronize Point - Audio
    Track Channel - 1
    Sequence Preset - Automatic
    Audio Sequence Settings - Camera 1
    Audio Channels Preset - Automatic (or Mono since my Blue Spark records in mono)
    Camera Names - Enumerate Cameras
    Any Idea where am messing up?

  • In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    Rodney
    I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
    If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
    1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
    a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
    or
    b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
    Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thank you.

  • 2 camera edit

    This will be my first 2 camera edit, so be gentle.
    1) How do i set up FCP to see both track simoutaneously ?
    2) Once on the timeline, what is the best way to line up A and B track so that the audio maches perfectly ?
    Thank you
    Vic

    Vic,
    You need to use multicam editing which is available in 5.1. You've asked a somewhat complicated question. Pull out the manual and read up on multi-cam and then get back to use with questions on that, but you need to know a little more.
    The key to good multicam editing is the ability to sync the two cameras accurately. You can search this forum for info on that with lots of suggestions.
    Have you shot this yet? Get back with us, okay.

  • 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!

  • Multi Cam editing stalling before cam change

    8Gig RAM
    Dell T3400 Workstation
    Core2Duo 2.6Mhz
    I'm trying to finish a project, doing a 3 camera multicam edit.   When I select (for example) cam1, then cam3, there is about a 1-2 second delay before the 'change' is shown (highlighted box changes from cam1 to cam3).   This just started .. before camera changes have been instant.
    Anyone ever have this problem before?  Any ideas?  I've rebooted thinking something got hosed, but it is still delaying changing the selected camera.
    TIA,
    jd

    Obviously, it's far from conclusive, but this certainly smacks of a software issue and not something to do with hardware. Wish I had a solution, but "hope/wait/deal with it" seems to be the only course of action for now
    I will offer up one suggestion that seemed to have some positive effect, and that's getting rid of the audio portion of your sync sequence when you nest it in your edit sequence. Let me explain a little more:
    I create my original sync sequence that holds all my various angles, and I call it "MC_SYNC"... no relation to MC Hammer. I trim the heads and tails of each angle so that clips all begin at one time point, and end at another time point--you'll see why this is important later, beyond the fact that it just makes things neat and tidy. Per the multicam procedure in PPro, this sequence is nested into a fresh, empty sequence which is dubbed "MC_EDIT". Now, what PPro will usually do is render/conform the audio portion of the nested sequence, though in my recent multicam edits, sometimes this did not happen right away. This can be a rather large, ungainly file and might be thrown hither, thither and yon depending on the media cache settings. Most of the time, I never use the "multicam mixed" audio track because I do my own mix in a new sequence (or in an external application) before finalizing the sequence. So what I do now is immediately delete the audio portion of the nested sequence (ie. MC_SYNC once it's placed inside of MC_EDIT) and replace that with a good, clean, workable track from one of my camera angles.
    To do this, I go back to MC_SYNC and find the camera angle that has the best sound from which to edit. I Alt+click the audio track I want and copy it (you can also use Match Frame to load the source clip into the source monitor, if you want), and then switch back to MC_EDIT where I paste it into the sequence with the CTI placed at the beginning of the sequence. This is why I trim up everything in MC_SYNC before nesting: so that there is no chance of having the pasted audio out of sync with the multicam video clip. Now, the program will be referencing a single source file for audio in your multicam edit, which has seemed to me to have a positive impact on the editing experience.
    Give that a shot, and see if it works for you.

  • Multi cam editing, first time. Filters.

    Hello
    Finally getting into multi cam editing. A simple question.
    I'm syncing my clips using audio, multiple clips on my time line. Should I do colour correction, transition and effects before enabling Multi-cam?
    Or does enabling multi -cam remove everything?
    I ask because, i did a small test with a transition, enabled Multi -cam, removed transition.

    I would personally only do Colour Correction and other effects first and always do transitional effects after you've done the cut in multi-cam.
