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.

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.
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'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'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.
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.)
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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
I don't understand you are playing back at 1/16th quality and your pc still can't play 3 frames in a row. Is multicam that much more taxing on the PC or you just had some issue or what is it? Also, what parts does the multicam utilize, CPU GPU or RAM maybe? Thanks!
Whats the best way to process audio with this method? Do you unenable your in cam audio tracks before making the multicam sequence, and then do a track edit like normal? or can you edit audio on certain audio tracks within the multicam sequence?
@ 2 minutes 17 seconds he shows a way to bring out the stacked time lines for the multi cam sequence, you can select and remove the unwanted audio tracks here, just remember to unlink them from the video.
@@jaedpacted @JoshDeek One better: instead of dragging the multicam source clip (i.e. original stacked timelines) into the sequence which can take up a lot of space, you can just right click the source sequence in the project bin and hit "open in timeline". Now your main multicam sequence where you're making the edits and the untouched stacked sequence will both be open in separate tabs on the timeline. Any edits you do to the original source sequence there will be reflected in the main one, including audio. So I'd recommend you go into the stacked source sequence and process your audio in there. Or even better, process your audio before bringing it into Premiere. if you have Adobe Audition installed, you can right click on the audio and hit "edit in adobe audition", process it, hit save, and it'll automatically update and link itself to the track in Premiere,
When I use 1 2 3 etc keys, the view switches and everything records and works great. But when I click on the multiview previews, clicking does nothing.
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.
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".

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.
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
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.
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?
YES ! Am familiar with the Synchronize feature on Adobe locking up multi camera tracks through the, 'Mixdown' setting however am now trying to Synchronize a new 4 Cam Multi Camera Shoot to a Master Audio Track recorded previously but after I draw over the 4 independent tracks then right click on the group my Synchronize tab is GHOSTED! Can you offer me a Solution?
Let's say I have one speaker on stage with 3 different camera angles. Can I set up where let's say it will automatically cut between angles every 2 min through the video? My videos are over an hr long and I don't want to rewatch the whole video and click.
Has anyone done a multi-cam edit with 3 cameras where the audio of 2 microphones goes direct into one of the cameras? How are you handling that audio to cut with Multicam? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Quick question can anyone use auto pod for one camera ??? But can u also duplicated the video and change the angle of the camera ?? So I can have like 2 camera angles instead of one because I only have one camera at the moment
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.

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

Does premiere pro don't have automatic multicam ? just by clicking number on your keyboard and not the mouse.
