yeah i am about to use it now.

You're welcome!

Steven2156 thanks Steven, that’s made my day :)

Same thing brought me here. Why even give the option? It's so redundant.

Glad to hear it!

Thank you sir!

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear Quasiguy!

@@ThePremierePro Hey Paul. Here I am, four months later, revisiting your video because once again, I'm struggling with audio in Multicam. Can you help me? Specifically, I conducted a three camera interview with three people--the interviewer was on one camera in stereo (his voice was on both channels) and the two women he was interviewing were being captured on another camera--one was in the left channel, one was in the right. (The third camera was a wide shot--I didn't use the edit, except to sync the cameras in Multicam.) Anyway, I thought I was doing the right thing by trying to modify the audio on the camera with the two women by creating two mono tracks (instead of left and right), but when I put them into multicam, the women are in left and right speakers separately and I can't used the "Fill Right with Left" and "Fill Left with Right" option to fix it. What's weirder, is that they're IS audio coming out of the opposite channel for each woman, but it's a significantly lower volume (not equal on both channels, which would make them mono). I'm probably not explaining this well, but I have the entire hour interviewed and I'm hoping I don't have to start over to fix this. Any ideas? Or am I on my own on this one? Sorry for the long message.

@@quasiguy Happy to help! What is the audio channel format for the interviewer? And do you need the multicam to switch audio as well as video?

Thanks Andre! Did the cams records different audio sample rates? That can cause audio drift.

@@ThePremierePro probably? Thanks.

Thanks so much!

You're welcome Levian!

You're welcome Egidio!

Thanks! No waveforms means that some kind of mixdown is happening inside the multicam audio tracks, e.g. mono tracks mixing down into a stereo master, or an effect added to a clip or track. I have another video coming out soon that shows the right way to create multicam sequences manually without using Clip > Create Multicam.

@@ThePremierePro Genius! Can not wait to see. Keep up the good work.

Yep, this just gives you the ability to sync video to audio using a specific audio channel - left (1), right (2) or both (mixdown).

@@ThePremierePro Thank you!

Thanks Albert, great question - for this, you can create a new sequence with Camera 3, Audio 1 and Audio 2, and then select this sequence as the 3rd camera when you're creating your multicamera sequence. A simpler solution might be to use the 'Camera 1' sync option, so that Audio 1 and Audio 2 are always enabled, and you just switch between Camera 1, 2 and 3.

Great question! Of course, you can just delete the tracks you don't want on the timeline, or mute them (this is best if you're sending your sequence to Pro Tools for mixing). But if you want more control over the number of tracks + which channels to use, select the Multicam sequence (either in the timeline or your Project panel) and choose Clip > Modify > Audio Channels. Note: you can only change the number of tracks before you add it to the timeline.

@@ThePremierePro Thank you so much for the reply - its much appreciated

Have you already started editing with the multicamera sequence?

@@ThePremierePro yes. Many of them

Any thoughts, thanks in advance

@@FUBAR-OFFICIAL Unfortunately there's no easy fix for this. Probably the quickest solution is to disable the 'Insert And Overwrite Sequences As Nest Or Individual Clips' button in the timeline, load each instance of the multicam sequence in your timeline using Match Frame (F) and overwriting the audio. This will replace the multicam audio with all the original audio files.

@@ThePremierePro thanks so much for the help.

Thanks! Just to confirm - your multicam source was initially mono and you need to update it to stereo?

@@ThePremierePro yes. It's coming from a boom mic but is mono. I had to keep going, so I restarted editing the first of the six videos and re-created all the multicam setup. What I did before re-creating them is to change the audio in the project window to stereo. At the beginning I was hoping that this would actually update the clip in the sequence. To be honest, I don't understand why clips like this are not like pre-composed tracks in AfterEffects... In those, when you swap footage, as long as you replace with the same length, the main composition will show those changes. Or am I missing something? Because when I replaced the mono audio in the multicam source clip with the stereo one form the bin, it remained mono in the sequence where I make the cuts.

@@alexfurer Content changes will ripple through like precomps, but the audio channel format won't. You need to make sure 1) inside the multicam clip, the stereo clip is on a stereo track 2) the multicam mix track is outputting stereo pairs (you can't mix and match stereo and mono mixes with multicam sequences, it has to be one or the other) and 3) the clip audio channel format of the sequence is outputting stereo pairs (you can check this by selecting the multicam in the Project panel and pressing Shift+G). Since you've already started editing, you'll need to manually replace these in the timeline (i.e. select each instance multicam clip, press F to load it in the source monitor and then peroid (.) to overwrite the clip in the timeline with the new audio channels).

@@ThePremierePro Thank you very much! Really appreciate your feedback! Premiere is not my main application I work with, so this is very helpful. While we're at it, would you know, or know of a video that explains how to edit audio in Audition of a multicam setup? Would that work if I edit the source track in Audition and then use the same F and Period trick? All I saw so far was to render the video, edit the audio, then replace the audio in the timeline manually. Which is a no-go when I have dozens of cuts.

@@alexfurer So long as the audio channel format doesn't change between Premiere and Audition, select the audio inside the multicam clip and choose Edit > Edit Clip in Audition. This will replace the original clip with a new file with "_Extracted" added to the filename so you can make destructive edits in the Audition Waveform editor. If you need to rollback to the original media, just right-click the clip in Premiere and choose Restore Unrendered.

Here's my tutorial on how to manually create multicam sequences: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8-GjLWmvNXMin0.html

@@ThePremierePro Thanks so much Paul

That's covered in the Channel Format section. Another cause for this is having an effect on your audio clip inside the multicam sequence.

Select the video clips only and choose Clip > Nest, then right-click the nested sequence and choose Mulicamera > Enable.

If you don't need Cam 3 audio in the timeline at all, just select the clip in the Project panel, choose Clip > Modify > Audio Channels and uncheck Channel 3.

Absence of waveforms is usually 1 of 2 things: 1) multiple input channels are being merged into a single output channel inside the multicam sequence, or 2) an effect has been applied to the clip inside the multicam sequence.

@@ThePremierePro I feel helpless as to how to ascertain, much less resolve, the input/output channels. I did assign an audio preset to the one channel of audio that controls the multi-cam sequence. That's probably the problem.

@@kevinhogan7814 Send me your project file if you're still having trouble.

Hi Terje, check out this video on manually creating multicam sequences: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8-GjLWmvNXMin0.html

@@ThePremierePro yeah, I previously peeked at that video, but I couldn't relate because I was trying to fix a MC that was already created. I think "adaptive track" is probably the sinner, but Google hasn't been kind last couple of hours. I'll probably head back to start and do it your way. Thanks for the help.

I'm finding it a bit hard to visualize what you're describing. Are you saying that when you open the multicam sequence in its own timeline, there are no audio clips in there, only video?

Thanks for your response. The audio clips appear but there are no waveforms in them. @@ThePremierePro

It doesn't happen all the time. It happened once and it was either when I used the "swap audio" or "mixdown" option. Can't quite remember which...

It's odd that they're appearing in you main sequence, but not the actual multicam sequence. Maybe check to make sure your track height is big enough to see waveforms? It might also be that a restart or clearing your media cache will clear things up.@@user-ff2cz7ft1r

This most commonly happens when you're editing a multicam sequence on an adaptive track (adaptive tracks have numbers next to them). The solution is to add a standard track to your editing sequence and move your multicam sequence to that, then select every instance of your multicam and right-click > Remove Attributes > uncheck everything except for Panner.

@@ThePremierePro Legend! That didn't quite fix it, but it made me realize that one MultiCam clip in my regular sequence was working right and so I saw that it had the pan set to 0, and for some reason all the other ones were set to -100. Copied and pasted panner attributes to the rest of them and wha-la! Thank you for the speedy reply! There needs to be more good content like this about the many little quirks and snags that can happen in Premiere

If you're using Audio as your Synchronize Point, then this error message means Premiere is unable to find a match between the waveforms. This can be caused by excessive noise on one of the audio files, sometimes different sample rates or Premiere analyzing a channel that does not have any audio on it (you can fix this one by choosing Track Channel when you create your Multicam Clip).

@@ThePremierePro is there a way to use multicam even when the audio cant sync?

@@CptZhu Yep, I have a tutorial on it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8-GjLWmvNXMin0.html

When a track is blank, it's usually a sign that Premiere needs to render before it can display waveforms. This can be caused by things like audio effects, mismatches between the audio clip and the track format or an edit inside the multicam sequence that requires processing. I would recommend keeping the audio inside the multicam sequence as it is, but rearranging those tracks in your edit timeline (or even better, rearrange them in the Project Panel using Clip > Modify > Audio Channels).

@@ThePremierePro Thanks so much for your reply i really appreciate it. Alas the issue is I only have two channels to choose from when doing the audio channel box?

Ah, I see what your problem is now - the audio you want to use is one of the 16 tracks that's muted, right? So the multicamera sequence was probably created using the 'Camera 1' setting when it should have been 'All Cameras' (and then you could easily choose which audio you want to use). Is there a notable difference between the audio tracks that are muted and the ones that aren't? For example, does one have 2 channels and the other has 1 channel?

@@ThePremierePro correct. To be clear tho I can switch cameras with no problem. But i think your right It was multi clipped using camera 1 audio. For the most part yes there is a noticeable difference. I believe some are lav and boom mic’s respectively. This particular scene has four people in it. I will say tho there are some that i can’t find clean the audio for so I guess I could syncing it again. It was all sync’d in resolve. I’m not sure why there are so many tracks tho I can only guess there should be 8 and one comes from each camera which has then been sync’d together. Thanks again for your help!

@@BenAllanCM No worries! Switching cameras is always the easiest part - it's getting the audio right that can be the headache. Of course, there's also the option to use Switch Cameras, to change the video and audio sources together - but in a scene with 4 people, I'd usually want all audio sources available during the edit.

You can open the Multicam Sequence to see how the camera sound is being added. Hold down the Cmd/Ctrl key and double-click the Multicam clip in either the Project or Timeline panel to open it in the timeline.

@@ThePremierePro Thank you!

@@ThePremierePro i'm working on a feature length as assistant editor to my college professor, so this techy stuff is extremely important i do right. Thank you, I finished all the proxies, multicam sq's, fixed all the issues thanks to your channel. He can begin editing the film now :)

@@Bsus4films Good luck with it! If you have any other questions, let me know.

32 channels makes sense to me - (5 x 6) + 2 = 32. Also, multicam audio clips all need to have the same audio channel format.

For panning issues, you want to watch the part on Audio Channel Format. Another cause comes up when you create a new sequence by using New Sequence From Clip (if the selected clip is a multicam sequence). It's always better to create your main editing sequence manually when using multicamera clips.

@@ThePremierePro Funnily enough right before reading this I realized the New Sequence From Clip with multicam was the issue. Good to hear you confirm. Adobe IT was clueless. Thanks for the upload

@@ericberman_ Great to hear it's resolved!

Make sure your project window is active and you've selected multiple clips (one of them must have a video track).

@@ThePremierePro Just wanted to say thanks. This comment was exactly what I was looking for.

Did you create your multicam sequence manually or using Clip > Create Multicam Source Sequence?

@@ThePremierePro select the footage, right click, create multicam source sequence. Also, Ive been having another issue, not sure if its a bug or sth im doing wrong:when i pass through a sequence again to modify the cuts it doesnt overwrite well, some cuts are still there, the camera changes but the physical cut on the clip doesnt go away, so its a bit confusing sometimes. Im new to this multicam workflow so it might just be it. Thanks a lot!

If you select all the clips in your sequence that used the multicam clips, then right click on one of them... go to Multi-cam...Enable. That's it! All you clips should now show the waveforms. It worked perfectly for me yesterday. Too many secrets to keep track of in Premiere, but so many of them are a Right-Click away.

@@KeithDadey I have two audio channels, and when I do this only the top audio clip appears, the other stays hidden...

It sounds like your sequences have In/Out settings that get applied when you use the Insert/Overwrite commands. To fix this, select all your sequences in the Project panel and choose Markers > Clear In & Out.

@@ThePremierePro Thanks for the help, this problem drove me crazy for a While, so far I've been just dragging a dropping the sequence to the timeline of the assembled parts project, or even other ways to deal with it. But I love to find ways to do things more productively, the with less clicks at the mouse. I checked what you said, and all my projects are cleared of in and out, I even have a shortcut for "Clean In and Out" But if I drop the sequence project in the timeline using the keyboard shortcut I still get the same result as shown at the video: Insert Project Sequence in Another Sequence Project Timeline - Adobe Premiere - Help - Problem kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y59yh8J8uL3Kd4k.html Wich doesn't even make sense, why premiere would set in the end of the sequence that giant black hashed video excess. with no audio and no video. So far I've been working that around. Thanks for the help Cheers.
