      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.

    • @ThePremierePro

      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?

      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.

    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?

    • @ThePremierePro
      @ThePremierePro  2 роки тому

      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 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.

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?

      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!

    • @ThePremierePro

      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".

      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.

      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.

      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.
