Same. I’ve done dozens of multicam videos and slowly taught myself these techniques, but this just streamlines every important tool for multi cam editing. Definitely lags without a good machine though.
I've been editing multi-cam sequences for years. I knew this workflow existed, but it was always too clunk to make decisive edits that justified the effort. Now that computers are just wicked fast, this is going to be an insane time saver for me. Thanks so much!
I remember using stacking and cutting method on my first multi-cam edit and I can't forget how hard it was to do manually. Today I had a tear in my eye just imagining that an editor will see this video before attempting his first multi-cam editing and skip over all the blood,pain and tears of manual editing. Bridging the gap between pain and enjoyment, that's Justin odisho for you 💯
@@averageconsumer3212 Me too man! This video will save me not hours, but DAYS of editing long guest speaker events, concerts, etc. I spent so much before, but now thanks to @Justin Odisho, I'M A FREE MAN!
From when I first started editing years ago and then upgrading and learning to do multi-cam edits I did it both ways. Stacking, scrubbing, turning track eyes on and off then deciding where to make cuts ect. I quickly realized there had to be a better way than that. So I learned to start syncing footage quickly cause the other way was dreadfully painful. The only thing I add to this method is the use of the third party sync program called Plural Eyes. Premiere's sync seems ok for simple syncs but Plural Eyes is better if you're really syncing three, four or more cameras and audios.
Mind blown. Ive been making music videos with 6-12 instruments and have 3 different recording angles for each instrument so it gets hectic. My first project I did had 38 videos stacked on each other and my pc made me render it every time i made the slightest adjustment to be able to playback. This will help alot!
Excellent tutorial Justin! A tip for everyone regarding the dragging of the multicam clip on to the timeline to see how everything is stacked as per 2:14. If instead of dragging it, you right click on it and hit 'open in timeline', it will open up the entire original "stacked" source multicam sequence as a new tab in your timeline. So you'll essentially have the original untouched stacked version in one tab, and the main sequence will all your cuts in another. Any changes you make to the source footage in the multicam stacked sequence e.g. colour grades, audio edits etc, will be reflected on to the main sequence. This is helpful if you need to go back and change the scale, fix colour, add another camera angle, and so on. Hope that helps! 😄
I'm sure you have heard something similar to this before, I have learned so much from your videos. I admire the amount of videos and the hard work and dedication that you put into them. You are owning it sir keep it up
I'm a professional with more than three decades in the biz, prod/Shooting and editing. I just learned two little moves that I am using right now Game Changer. I had to come back and say, mission accomplished Justin. Good work, I learned several things today that I just changed up my Multi cam process, setting it up manually by setting my camera tracks in the order I want to see them, syncing audio first, then nest the pictures and enable mulit-cam seq through the pulldown. SWITCH THE PREVIEW monitor off. NOW, I can see all of my cameras. BEST PART IS NOW, because I left my audio tracks free, I can (Find) bring up the original track in the viewer, open Lumietri and match up my cameras, it's impossible do that in a Multi-Cam sequence. Making you wait to do it after you flatten the sequence shot my shot. Now all the cameras are very, very close. Less work on the back end. I'm making final choices in the multi cam edit instead at the end. Rock-ON! thanks
Out of curiosity, when colour grading your mutlicam clips are you doing so on each clip (camera angle) itself? Since clips are stacked on top of one another, it's not possible to go down the typical route of editing on an adjustment layer above the clip.
I'm in charge of filming and producing a new live music series "Live at the Antlers", with 6+ cameras at any given time. This is going to cut my post times in half! Thank you kindly for your tutorial. I appreciate it very much!
Relatively new video podcast here and I appreciate this so much! I'm new to video editing. My friend was just using apple movie, but it was taking him at least 4 or 5 hours for each 45-60 minute show for 3 angles. I'll be taking over the video editing soon and this is such a welcome thing to see and learn. Thanks for making the tutorial!
It would be helpful to show how to make multicam sequences when you have multiple clips that are from one camera (like Cam 1 has 3 clips from the same interview, Cam 2 has 2, Can 3 has 4 etc.)
Justin, can you please tell me what you are doing at 2:17 to get the multi-cam sequence to split when you drag it to the clip? It does not work for me. I've also taken the individual clips, nested and synchronized them, and then the multi-cam feature does not work. Is there a setting or hot key or something you are using to get those things to work? thanks.
Mind blowing haha. The idea of multi camera use just got wayyy more feasible and less time consuming for editing. Gonna be back to watch this again in the future.
I'm currently struggling using Multicam in Premiere Pro. Even in a recently tested strong desktop (Xeon, 64 gb Ram, RTX 3060 Ti 8 gb VRAM), playing back, cutting and selecting cameras in a 3 cam 2 audio recorder multicam secuence is a freaking nightmare! Super slow response (about 10 seconds to play when it doesn't forget to play, every time I make a cut this happens), the computer spec don't even go over 50%, laggy, unresponsive, and if I need to edit a 2 hour weeding documentary edit, it is total trash. Seeing forums, all they say is update and a bunch of weird workaround which are 7 years old and did not work, while updating solves some issues, you get new issues. All I want is Premiere to work, to do what is should. I think the UI, the functions and features are great as long as they worked properly. For the time being, let's try Davinci.
WOW!! I have to say I got a bit lost as I’m not very experienced in Premiere and was hoping you’d get to an actual start to finish walk thru of creating an actual video w how to create the cuts to finished product but will watch again w fresh eyes tomm
This is brilliant Justin. Can I ask a quick question; Sometimes when I click on either Camera 1 or Camera 2 the outline is Yellow and not Red. So it's not making the cuts, just changing the whole clip to the selected Camera ... what am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time and effort.
Ah I think I figured it out. It has to be playing, I can't just scrub through and do it. And it's a little laggy so the cuts don't show up until I pause the footage.
@@RichMaciverPhoto Also, if you have multiple cuts on the timeline, if you click and select one of the individual cuts and then change the camera angle from the preview monitor, it'll only change that one cut and not the whole timeline. Just pay attention to what clip is selected while you're paused.
doing this on a scene shot on sony a7s3 was a pain even with an i9 processor.. so you have to work with proxies for faster workflows ... thank you for the tips and tricks
Is there a way you can select which audio source you want to use for all the clips? For example, if I have to cameras, but want to use the audio from my main camera with the better audio after it syncs?
Justin, thanks so much for your video. You showed me a couple options I was not aware of. One thing I have never seen though, is when you use the first method, can you specifically pick the hi-res audio clip rather than the mix? It is not clear which audio is used in the mix. I don't want the video recording to be used. Do I have control over that, or do I need to split the sync up and mute the other tracks? thanks.
Your multicam sequence will have multiple audio tracks, you can choose which one to use. I think the method is, after you cut the multi cam (the green sequence) you can select the multi cam sequence from the project bin and drag it to the same timeline as your multicam cuts, this let's you see how everything is stacked. You can select the audio you do not want, unlink it from the video, and then delete it.
@@jaedpacted One better: instead of dragging the multicam source clip into the sequence (takes up a lot of space), you can just right click the sequence in the project bin and hit "open in timeline". Now your main sequence (green one) with all the edits is one tab, and the untouched source sequence is open in a separate tab on the timeline. Any edits you do to the original source sequence there will be reflected in the main one, including audio. When you open the source sequence, it's so easy to easy mute or delete the unwanted tracks and just have the master track there.
Thanks for your tutorial, I had to do the nesting process, for some reason I could get the multi cam nest piece to show the all the different camera recording up once on the program window but now I can't get all the camera back so I can edit them?
Premier Pro is an excellent video editing tool. Somehow, after viewing this clip, I then tried to do the same multi-cam video as I had done on Premier Elements. I found doing multi-cam in Premier Pro appears to be more complicated then doing it in Premier Elements.
Amazing, I've been stacking all my videos and manually cutting. It's such a PITA! Wish I would have found your video sooner. I have tried the synchronize audio a few times though with varying success. Sometimes it seems like it doesn't quite line them up properly and I get a slight echo effect.
What about cutting multiple multicam clips or sequences into one sequence? I have been trying to figure that out for years and is the number one reason I use Avid over premiere.
Hi Justin, I am using the multi camera editing style. Towards the end you moved a track (not audio)I tried doing that and my video was off track w the audio. I am trying to downsize interview. ugh but I am damaging it ha
![I Replaced ALL my ADOBE APPS with these [free or cheaper] Alternatives!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5EfqHg49kMk/mqdefault.jpg)
I've manually stacked and cut 48 episodes, all of which are 2 to 3 hours long. This video just literally changed my life. Thank you a million times.
Multi-cam will change your life forever. As someone who also has a video podcast, TRUSTTTT ME, ain't nobody got time to stack camera tracks lol.
Same. I’ve done dozens of multicam videos and slowly taught myself these techniques, but this just streamlines every important tool for multi cam editing. Definitely lags without a good machine though.
Vow, and i worry about my 1 hour and a half long podcast, awesome bro.
I feel the pain
What can I do if that synronize is not working? Like I have 8 GoPros filmed at the same time 5-8 Hours long. But I can't sync it
Started a new job today, and they asked "Hey, can you do a multicam edit tomorrow?"
You saved my ass. This is super easy to follow, thank you.
