My god Adobe have messed this up. Back in the day you could simply right click on the nest sequence and choose create Multicam. This is ridiculously over complicated.
I agree to complicated it's as if taking your food and eat it with your hands around your face and into ur mouth instead we could eat it straight hand to mouth
For me, I skipped all the complicated sound channel setup and followed the instructions starting at 6:14 on how to enable multicam on a sequence. This is pretty cool! I already had my sound in the main timeline synced up so I only needed a quick way to switch cameras. Working in Premiere Pro 2024. They still haven't fixed the playhead cursor scroll zoom misalignment on windows machines with scaled displays.
This is the best workflow to setup multicam in Premiere I've ever seen. One question, whats the difference of setting this up as multichannel vs standard tracks? Why is your preference for standard? And does this affect exporting single track stems? Thanks so much this is beautiful.
Thanks Mike! You can set up multicam tracks using either Adpative (multichannel) or Standard tracks - my preference is Standard because it's less finecky, but the outcome is the same. Can you elaborate on what you need when exporting single track stems?
This is absolutely fantastic. I have 2 multicam projects which I decided to cut in Premiere but with audio timecode coming from Tentacle sync, I would get a sequence with everything in sync, but it wasn’t seen by Premiere as true multicam. I’ll follow your steps later today and give this a whirl. Thank you so much!
@@ThePremierePro And....again I've come back to this video because I'd forgotten the all important final step of dragging the Multicam into the source monitor and enabling it. It's so good to have this resource here!! Thank you so much once again!
really helpful video! QUESTION: If I recorded audio in stereo do I still need to pan the audio tracks? Was wondering what the purpose of panning the audio was
hi - great vid - is there somewhere to enable/show the output channel routing? not seeing it below the pan knob in my mixer like in your video. Tried prefs and everything else I can think of. thanks
Thanks John - if you can't see an option for routing in the Track Mixer, that means your Master Track is set to Stereo, when it needs to be Multichannel. This is one of the only settings you can't change after you create a sequence. I recommend my method for creating a multichannel sequence preset at 3:49.
Channel assignments can be greyed out if your number of output channels is either Mono or 5.1. Also, Adobe changed the name for Master to Mix (and a few other terms) a while back: helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/terminology-changes-video-products.html
Great video! Was down to my last pieces of hair before finding your video. The audio files from the multicam won't generate any waveforms, I render audio to get them, but it reverts every time I reopen Premiere and now I'm down to waiting half an hour each time I open the program. Any thoughts?
If you have to render to get waveforms, that's a clear sign that some kind of channel mixing is happening inside your multicam sequence. You'll need to figure out what's causing the channels to mix together - the best place to start is by checking your channel routing and panning in the Track Mixer.
Hey Paul! Thanks for the video. What exactly is the reason for panning left to right on the even/odd channels? I'm editing a project where another editor set the multicams up with this method, and I am literally getting full panning on playback, so I've been manually removing the pans. Thanks!
Hey Ben, this is to separate each audio channel to its own track. If you're hearing panning, it could be that you've added the multicamera sequence to a sequence that uses adaptive tracks (this happens when you create a sequence by dragging the multicamera sequence onto the New Item icon). Try adding it to a stereo sequence with standard tracks - that should fix the panning problem.
Okay... So it took me a moment to understand the whole process. But very, very helpful. Thank you! My question is, what about color correction at the end? Is there a way to color correct the entire source clip at once, which would update in the Multicam sequence automatically?
@@ThePremierePro Thanks a lot for your response. I forgot to mention. I have clips from 3 different cameras in my Multicam sequence, and they are stacked one over the other: V1, V2, and V3. So, if I put an adjustment layer on V4 and apply CC, it affects the clips on V3, but not V2 and V1. And that doesn't update in the normal sequence either. However, if I do CC on individual source clips (not on adjustment layer) in the Multicam sequence, it updates the normal sequence. So, any idea how to work with adjustment layers inside the Multicam sequence, which in return would also update the normal sequence? I like to have multiple adjustment layers over my source clips for different tasks in the CC process.
@@krushannaik5869 The idea behind Multicam is that it's a sequence, but you can only play 1 track at a time, so adjustment layers are not supported. You can get around this by nesting the clip and the adjustment layers together inside the multicam (so a nested sequence inside a multicam sequence).
@@krushannaik5869 Also, make sure you just nest the video and the adjustment layer (no audio, otherwise your waveforms will disappear in your main edit).
Missing the step on how you created that multicam sequence where the video overlaps, and how it understands by drag drop from another multicam sequence to it know to overlap footage.
In this example, there is no sync reference (e.g. camera audio or timecode) so I've just done it manually by eyeballing it. If you have a sync reference, you would use Clip > Create Multi-camera Source Sequence or an external application like Pluraleyes.
But, if you have multiple tracks from different cameras which started and stopped at different times you're not going to be able to do markers. This is why every time I create a Multicam I make sure the audio is on every camera. This way it's easier to sync to the audio. But as you can see from my comment, I have WAY BIGGER issues ahead of me. Thanks for the video!
No worries! In the video, I'm using markers as an example how to sync manually, but this method will work regardless. I came up with it while editing a documentary where the DP filmed everything with 2 cameras, each buttoning on/off at different times, no timecode, no slates, no sync audio (grrrrr) and separate audio.
@@ThePremierePro My issue is when I set up my studio with 4 cameras, all 4 would not have the same battery life. So as I would go to look at one of the cameras I would see it had died. Then I would grab another battery, replace it in the camera, without shutting off all the other cameras. On some of my cameras, I only have 3 clips because the battery in my Canon 80D lasted longer. Whereas my iPhone on my slider has 10 clips because I had to constantly add another auxiliary battery as it died. My process is to sync the video clips that were running at the beginning on the hand clap. Then after that find a keyword I used, mark it on the clip and the timeline, and then go to the next camera looking for that keyword, mark it and move it closer in line with the other clip. Next, I highlight the two clips, right-click, choose synchronize (audio 1), and then it aligns everything perfectly. Then so on and so forth. I'm definitely finding out the WORST WAY to create Multicam videos. This is way better than my first ever attempt which had 5 cameras (same battery issues) but they were all filmed at different frame rates. SMH
It sounds very labor-intensive! This video is not focusing on how to manually sync, just how to set up the multicamera sequence that will hold all that media and make it easy to edit in another timeline. Based on what you're describing, if all your cameras are recording reference audio, you should be able to sync them automatically by naming the camera in the Camera Label column (e.g. Canon, iPhone, etc), sync them using Clip > Create Multicamera Source Sequence and tick Timecode > Create Single Multicam Source Sequence > Camera Label.
New question please Paul. I've been pulling hair out with this one. I haven't had audio issues with multicam until receiving footage from Sony FX6. Now when I create multicam sequences, I can get the desired result in the multicam, but when I then nest that so that I can edit it, I can get the two main microphones on separate mono channels but all sound is only playing through the left speaker. I've tried your manual method but it doesn't fix my problem. Why might I not be getting a combined channel mono output to both sides? I've also watched multiple of your other videos such as "Split Clips from Stereo to Mono".
I've found an answer, it must be a bug in premiere pro which seems to have been around since at least 2020. I'm on version 2023 and it still creates my clips in clip mixer to pan setting of -100. Returned those to 0 and it's fine.
@@flip.design Great to hear you fixed it! This usually has to do with the audio track type in your main sequence - try add Mono tracks instead of Standard (you're Mix audio track can still be Stereo).
Heya Dan! Neither should be an issue, but re: the scaled videos, if they're scaled down, just keep in mind that scaling up the multicam sequence will not use the original resolution of the media, it will use the scaled resolution (i.e. it will add jaggies, blurriness, etc). If you do need to scale up a clip that was scaled down inside a multicam sequence, it's best to flatten the multicam sequence first.
Hi Paul, Thanks for the video. Despite watching closely and following all the steps I end up facing a big issue all over again: whenever I drag the NewMulticam sequence in to the editing sequence (MySequence) as the last step, it doesn't appear as multicam sequence but a regular multi-channel sequence. What could be the cause? I am having the exact same problem also when I try to set up my working sequence based on another video on your channel "Create Multi-Cam Clips | Adobe Premiere Pro + PLURALEYES 4". Please note that my starting point is a manually synced sequence on a timeline. Thank you so much in advance!
Hi @@ThePremierePro, thanks for your prompt response. By dragging the new multicam sequence to the source monitor, I can enable multicam just like you. But when I then drag it into the editing sequence (program monitor), it doesn't appear as multicamera sequence on the timeline as it does for you, but as a simple multitrack sequence (so basically I fall back to where I started from).
@@ThePremierePro No, it appears as a multitrack but not multicamera sequence. However, it does have [MC1], but only when I duplicate it by drag the whole sequence the "New Item".
Enable multi-cam from source monitor was a neat trick. Was not aware if we could do that. Question for you- After enabling multicam. The new clip when taken on a timeline to edit. The audio name is same as clip name (the new multi-cam clip), but the video is picked from the source clip name. Can you share a workaround if you know it. PD: renaming the clip also doesn't change update the clip name. Will be helpful. Thanks
Hey Pranav - in the timeline, the audio track name should come from the first audio clip on the multicamera track. If it's displaying the multicamera sequence name instead, that's usually an indication that there's no audio in the segment of the multicamera sequence that you're using on the timeline. The best way to work around this is to fill any gaps in the multicamera audio tracks with a disabled audio clip with a name like "No Audio". The other thing that can cause this is if your multicamera audio becomes unlinked from the video - just link them back together and you should see clip names again.
@@ThePremierePro I actually figured out what was going wrong. The clips (Alexa footage) when created into a multicam clip with production audio using 'create multicam sequence', were created with with 'use clip names' option. In those cases whatever the name was in the project panel reflected in timeline. In other instances, where 'create multicam sequence' could not be used and were created from a 'subsequence' as you showed. It simply won't take the clip name from project panel and will take naming from the audio and video source separately. However, this can be fixed. If you avoid subsequence and create a template as you showed, and copy-paste each clip with production audio into that template. I am planning to use this method as an alternative to Avid's Autosequence/ Autosync and group clips to work on scripted content where renaming the clips with clap makes a huge difference and efficiency. I have posted an idea called Superclip in their user voice section. adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/42217261-superclip Hope premiere incorporates this in their update. However, thank you for making this video it has helped me solve an important aspect of my workflow. Thank you!
Hey there Paul, I watched your other video about the MC settings, it was great. I do have an issue . Before stumbling across your channel, I had already synched my 2 video clips with my audio (from a mic), deleted the camera audio and just left the main audio. Then I learned about multicamera options on premiere. To my unpleasant surprise, after enabling MC mode, I can't hear any audio at all. I rendered the video as a test and the rendered output does indeed have the audio in it. However, I can hear anything whilst editing. Any tips will be highly appreciated. Thanks mate, awesome work.
Thanks Rodrigo. It's hard to troubleshoot without seeing your timeline, but if you need to render to see waveforms, that's usually a sign that you have audio effects on your clips. If you can't hear any audio, it might be because your routing is not set up correctly. You can always just create a new sequence using the method in this video and then copy/paste all your clips straight across.
Thanks man - I feel like I'm going a bit nuts though... I think I followed it to the letter, and yet, when I have the final multicam source sequence (i can see it had the correct icon at least), and drag it into the sequence I want to edit in (just a plain old stereo sequence) it comes through as non-multicammed, just regular old synced and stacked clips... Am I missing something obvious here?
It sounds like you have the Overwrite Nests button turned on. It's in the top left of the timeline panel, to the left of the snapping icon (the magnet).
New question: When viewing footage in multi-camera view. Is there a way to make premiere to stop adding cuts unintentionally on the clip while switching a camera? I am on version 14.2 Please guide.
That's a really good question - there's not way to turn this off unfortunately. I recommend making a feature request here: adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro
Another question - Are there any drawbacks working with 'Adaptive audio channel' in multi-cam clips and on the timeline itself? Working with audio splits is not a criteria for me as I don't ever work on finishing the audio, but minimalist timeline real estate helps you focus more on the edit. At end of the edit, I have to give an EDL/OMF/ AAF of the audio though. Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Hey Pranav, there are no significant drawbacks, but a few panning anomalies, like when adding multicamera audio to a Standard track in an Adaptive sequence, it will pan left when it should pan center. Even so, if you don't need to export audio splits, I'd just stick with the simplicity of a Stereo sequence.
@@ThePremierePro okay, will stick to stereo. I just thought it might help me save timeline space as production audio usually has 6-8 tracks of splits which consumes a lot of space and I'll be scrolling layers all the time for sound effects and music.
@@Pranav_m_Mistry That's definitely an advantage, but remember that every audio channel inside a clip requires a separate speaker to play it back - so if you have an adaptive clip with 8 channels of audio, but you only have 2 speakers, you will only hear the first 2 channels.
doing all of these audio steps is overkill based on the title of the video! Creating a manual multicam sequence(s) doesn't require all of these audio L / R steps! Just do the manual multicam sequence.. do a different video that explains the advanced extra steps for the 'audio' settings if one needs all that.

@@ThePremierePro Will do that! Thank you :)
Did that :)

Is it just me or did the auto multi cam become a lot less reliable in the past year? Did they do a bad software update?
Less reliable in what way?
Another question - Are there any drawbacks working with 'Adaptive audio channel' in multi-cam clips and on the timeline itself? Working with audio splits is not a criteria for me as I don't ever work on finishing the audio, but minimalist timeline real estate helps you focus more on the edit. At end of the edit, I have to give an EDL/OMF/ AAF of the audio though. Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Paul, would you be able to guide me on this thing from your own experience? It'll be really helpful!
Hey Pranav, there are no significant drawbacks, but a few panning anomalies, like when adding multicamera audio to a Standard track in an Adaptive sequence, it will pan left when it should pan center. Even so, if you don't need to export audio splits, I'd just stick with the simplicity of a Stereo sequence.
@@ThePremierePro okay, will stick to stereo. I just thought it might help me save timeline space as production audio usually has 6-8 tracks of splits which consumes a lot of space and I'll be scrolling layers all the time for sound effects and music.
@@Pranav_m_Mistry That's definitely an advantage, but remember that every audio channel inside a clip requires a separate speaker to play it back - so if you have an adaptive clip with 8 channels of audio, but you only have 2 speakers, you will only hear the first 2 channels.
@@ThePremierePro oh! that is a very crucial point. I'll test this out and get back.
Why would I want a music video to be mono???
Was it recorded with mono or stereo microphones?
@@ThePremierePro Stereo mixing board
@@unsignedmusic If it's recording a stereo signal then definitely set them as stereo pairs.
doing all of these audio steps is overkill based on the title of the video! Creating a manual multicam sequence(s) doesn't require all of these audio L / R steps!
Just do the manual multicam sequence.. do a different video that explains the advanced extra steps for the 'audio' settings if one needs all that.
This made things.....SO much more complicated for me =/ I hate all this stuff
