Thank you; that is helpful. I know that after the sequence is flattened, you can still adjust the point where it switches from one camera to another but I don't think you can add additional cut points after it is flattened; right? I've tried doing what you suggested but it's not 100% reliable for me. Haven't figured out why. The Record button is that red dot at the bottom of the Program panel. From what I understand, the record button has to be engaged in order to record the cuts to different cameras. But I'm not certain about that. I'm new to Premiere and still have much to learn! Previously, I used Sony Vegas but when I started working with multi-cams, it started crashing every couple minutes! Premiere is MUCH more stable but still not perfect on my Windows 10 machine. (perhaps I need to upgrade my entire workstation.)

I want to add edit points while in pause. I tried this; I put playhead where I want the edit point (while paused), click the RECORD button, then click on the camera that I want to switch to, then click PLAY. However, this doesn't seem to work (it 'sort of' works sometimes but isn't precise). What might I be doing wrong? Does the sequence have to be 'FLATTENED' first? What is the purpose of FLATTEN? When should the sequence be 'FLATTENED'? Can additional changes be made after flattening?

How can I add additional edit points to a multi-cam edit while in pause? (after creating multi-cam sequence). I tried this; place playhead at point I want to switch to another camera (while in pause), click the RECORD button, then click on the camera that I want to switch to, then hit PLAY. This 'sort of' works but is not precise at all and sometimes does not work at all. (I'm trying to do it this way because I want a very precise edit point which I can't quite do 'on the fly') What might I be doing wrong? Does the sequence have to be FLATTENED first? What is the purpose of FLATTEN? When should the multi-cam sequence be flattened? Can additional changes be made after flattening? Thanks!

Jim; Thanks for your response but I don't understand what you mean or how to do that ("you cut it from the Program Monitor after switching it to Multicam view"). I'm obviously not as savvy with this program as you are. If you would like to explain further, that would be appreciated but I am also getting "Classroom in a Book" from Peachpit Press which, hopefully will help a lot. I originally purchased "Learn by Video" from them which was marketed as being created for the 2017 version of PP CC but now they admit that it was made for the original version (2013?) of PP CC. They say that the "Classroom in a Book" is specifically for the 2017 version.

That did it! Thanks! Now I have another problem. After creating the mixed down version (and now the audio plays), I select it on the timeline, right click on it and Enable Multi-camera. However; instead of seeing the views from each separate camera in the Source window, I'm only seeing one camera view. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks! Thanks!

Hi Jim; Sorry it took this long to respond; I was out of town. I greatly appreciate you being willing to help me with this. Just so you understand; I used Premiere Pro about 15 years ago with different cameras (only 2 DSLRs) and had no problems with it at all. Now I've upgraded to PP CC 2017 and am using a variety of cameras and camcorders, so things are a bit more complicated. I am studying a tutorial, but of course, they don't always show you all the little details and some of their tutoring 'seems' to be simply incorrect! (It's a video tutoring couse produced by Adobe (so they certainly ought to know their own product!) but it looks like they are using a PP CC version from maybe a couple years ago (I did specifically order the tutorial for the 2017 version). So; would you please explain how I would render the audio? BTW; I am using the audio from an audio recorder and have the audio from the 3 cameras muted. One more question; at what point in the process should I render the audio?

I have all my clips from 3 cameras and an audio recorder synced. I drag the sequence into a "new sequence" so everything is mixed down to one video and one audio track. Then when I try to do a multi-cam edit (after enabling multi-cam) the new sequence 'appears' to be there on the timeline but there is no audio. What might I be doing wrong?

That's very time consuming especially when 2 of the three cameras were not running continuously. I did find that if I have just one or two cameras and the audio recorder file in the sequence, it works perfectly; I select them all, right click, click on "Syncronize" and it works perfectly. But with multiple clips from 3 cameras and the audio recorder, "Syncronize" is grayed out. Could it be a RAM issue? I only have 8GB RAM. I know there are some third party apps such as Plural Eyes, but before I buy it, I'd like to know if it works any better than what Premiere has already built into it?

I'm in the learning phase with Premiere pro and I haven't yet found any good info on this topic. I shot an event with three cameras and an audio recorder. I watched a tutorial which said to simply select all of the video and audio tracks on the timeline, right click on them and then click on "Syncronize" in the menu. The trouble is, "Syncronize" is grayed out. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

I am trying to edit a video in Premiere Pro CC 2017 but when I play the clip in either the Source or Program windows, the video does not play smoothly. (audio plays fine) I'm using a PC with Windows 7 with 8GB RAM. (which I know isn't much but it's been working for me so far). The files that I am trying to edit are MP4 (.MP4) I had the same problem when trying to edit .MOV files and found that if I simply renamed the files and changed the suffix to .mpg, it totally solved the problem. Should I try that with these files or is there something else I should do? Thanks! Chris

Since burning a Blu-ray seems to be ridiculously complicated (and not even necessary in this case), I decided it would be easier to just burn a standard DVD. I Exported the sequence from Premiere, with settings for DVD, then imported the video and audio files onto a timeline in Encore CS6 and it seemed to be working fine; I could play the sequence in Encore and all was working fine. Then I tried to Build the DVD. Everything seemed to be working fine except that when I put the DVD in my home player, there was no audio. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

Hey Ann; 'Funny' thing; the Panasonic camcorder (consumer grade) creates a file that can only be opened with their software. (although, I have to admit, I have not tried importing that file directly into Premiere, I only tried playing it with Windows Media Player which usually play all common video files.) So I ran the video through the Panasonic software and saved it to my computer. It seems that's the only way it works. As for the Sony camcorder; it has a 5.1 stereo mic built in and I had it turned on which cause problems when I tried to Import it into Premiere so I ran it through Adobe Media Encoder to change it to 2 chan. stereo. Anyway ... Since burning a Blu-ray seems to be ridiculously complicated (and not even necessary in this case), I decided it would be easier to just burn a standard DVD. I Exported the sequence from Premiere, settings for DVD, then imported the video and audio files onto a timeline in Encore CS6 and it seemed to be working fine; I could play the sequence in Encore and all was working fine.

I edited an event in Premiere Pro CC 2017 (using PC with Windows 7). I then Exported the sequence from Premiere with these settings for burning a DVD: Format: MPEG2-DVD Preset: NTSC DV Wide Progressive I set the output to go into a new folder. After the export, I opened Encore CS6 and imported the MPEG video (.m2v) and WAV audio (.wav) files. I then created a new timeline and dropped these 2 files onto it. The sequence plays perfectly in Encore! OK; I'm ready to burn the disc. I click on the Build tab and select Format: DVD, Output: DVD disc. Click "Build" (progress bar moving, looks like everything is working fine!) DVD is finished, put it in my home DVD player; NO SOUND! What might I have done wrong? Thanks! Chris

Hi Allen; Thanks for your responce! I am in USA. I believe you when you say "The people who have responded to your other thread are among the most knowledgeable people regarding Encore who frequent these forums!" However; I have also recieved some very conflicting advice. For instance, you told me that it will not work to use "progressive" scan for Blu-ray. Others have said it doesn't matter. I don't know who to believe. Yes; I edited the sequence in Premiere Pro CC 2017 and it plays just fine there. Now I just have to burn that sequence to a disc. There are no menus. I just want it to play when my client puts it in his home player. He's not very fussy, we just want it to play! It was shot by 3 different models of camers in 1080 and I originally wanted to burn it to a Blu-ray disc but at this point, if it's going to be easier to burn to a standard DVD,* then that's what I want to do.* I just want to get this project done! I admit I've made mistakes and I will be sure to learn a lot more before my next shoot! My client doesn't mind if it's a standard DVD. I would love to download IMGBurn but when I go to their website ( http://www.imgburn.com/) and click on "Download" free trial version, I get sent to another website that has nothing to do with burning discs! Is there some better way of downloading IMGBurn? Maybe it makes a difference if I pay for it (which I don't mind doing since everyone recommends it). If I decide to just burn a standard DVD, can I do that with Encore alone? If so, What Presets should I use when Exporting from Premiere? Is it possible to briefly tell me how to import the correct files into Encore and then burn a standard DVD? I have done this before but it was many years ago! It seemed very simple at the time. I don't understand (and am very frustrated) that it seems to be SO much more difficult now! One more question; how would I use Adobe Media Encoder to Export from Premiere? Thanks!

Thanks! But ... "When building a disc, instead of trying to write immediately you will be far better off exporting as an ISO file & then burning this to disc with the excellent freeware IMGburn." Can you please tell me how to export as an ISO file? From which program? I tried to download IMGburn from their own website (http://www.imgburn.com/) but when I clicked "Download" I got sent to a different website that had nothing to do with burning discs. How could that be? I did download another free program called iSkysoft DVD Creator but it would not let me import any of the files that I exported from Premiere. Is this a crappy program or might I have chosen the wrong Presets when exporting from Premiere? Thanks! Chris

Hi Neil; Thanks for your responce! You've given me some new and valuable info! I was trying to Export at progressive at 29.97 and then trying to burn a Blu-ray! Perhaps that's been my whole problem!!! Part of the problem may also be because I used 3 different cameras to shoot and was not diligent as to how I had them set since I was under the impression that Premiere would "take care of everything automatically!" (foolish me!) But I did use Adobe Media Encoder to transform the 3 different files to the same type and was easily able to edit them in PP CC 2017. And the sequence plays just fine in Premiere, I just need to burn it to a playable disc! At this point, I just want to get this project done! If it would be easier to create a standard DVD than Blu-ray, then that's what I want to do! My client is not fussy at all; he just wants a disc that will play in his home player. I did shoot it in 1080 but creating a standard DVD rather than Blu-ray would be fine, especially if it's easier!!! In that case; how should I have my Export Presets set in Premiere? (for standard DVD)? Thanks! Chris On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 6:30 AM, neil wilkes <forums_noreply@adobe.com>

Hi Neil; Thanks for your responce and comforting words! First; if it is easier to burn a standard DVD than Blu-ray, then that is what I want to do. I want to just get this done as quickly and as easily as possible. I'm not using any menus. I just want it to play when my client puts it in his home player. He is not super fussy so as long as it plays, he'll be happy (and so will I!) Standard DVD will be fine if it's easier to deal with! The sequence plays just fine in Premiere Pro CC 2017, so I just need to burn it to a disc (originally, I wanted blu-ray but we will all be quite satisfied with standard DVD at this point!). "These are best provided to Encore as elementary streams. Do not multiplex them, otherwise things will go wrong." I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by this. I Exported the sequence from Premiere using H.264 into a separate folder. There are 4 different files; MP4 (.m4v), XMP (.xmp), XMPSES and Wav. Since there are 4 different files, can I correctly assume that I did, in fact, do what you recommended? BTW: when I check the "Properties" of the MP4 file, it says "MP4 (.m4v)". So I don't know if the file is an MP4 or .m4v. ??? If you know of a better (easier) program than Encore to burn discs, please let me know. I don't mind paying for it if it works well. I downloaded a free trial version of iSkysoft DVD Creator but it will not let me import any of the files that were out putted by Premiere. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not a good program? "The critical part is to make sure your assets are all spec correct before importing into Encore." Can you tell me how to check that? And what am I looking for? "Once you have imported your video & audio as assets, create a new playlist from the video asset & then add your audio to this using drag/drop" Can you give me more details on this? How do I create a "playlist"? I'm not using any menus. Thanks VERY much for your patience and support! Chris On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 6:24 AM, neil wilkes <forums_noreply@adobe.com>

Hi Jim; Thanks for your responce! After I get this completed, I promise I will take the time to learn the programs properly! I've had a very hard time finding good tutorials that are not out-dated, so I purchased a video tutorial for *Premiere Pro CC 2017* and am eagerly waiting for it's arrival! I have very successfully used Premiere Pro and Encore to create discs to play on a home player many years ago and so I thought it would again be easy but a lot seems to have changed since then and now I'm stuck. BTW; the sequence plays just fine in Premiere so all I need to do is burn it to a disc and that's where I'm stuck. I would prefer to use Encore to finish this particular project and burn the disc with it because I know that I've done it before and it worked fine ( many years ago). However; if you can recommend a better burning program, I don't mind purchasing it. But I'm not looking for anything fancy; I just want to get this disc burnt! I did download a free trial version of *iSkysoft DVD Burner *however; it will not let me import any of the files created by the output of the sequence by Premiere. Could I be doing something wrong or is this just not a good disc burning program? Thanks! Chris

Hi Neil; Thanks for your responce! Actually; Premiere outputs 4 different files; so I assume you mean the MP4 (.m4v), and WAV files; right?

Hi Ann; I think that part of my issue may be that the event was shot with 3 different kinds of cameras; Sony camcorder, Panasonic camcorder and Nikon D3s. However; I used Adobe Media Encoder to convert all 3 to MP4 files at 29 fps before importing them into Premiere. As for the output; I just want it to be in a format that I can burn onto a Blu-Ray disc for viewing on a home Blu-ray player. At this point, I'm very frustrated with this project and just want to get it finished. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to play. The next time, I will be more careful about how I have the cameras set so I don't have to do any converting. My client is not at all fussy; just as long as it plays on his home Blu-ray player. Is this the info you wanted? If not; what other info would be helpful? Thanks! Chris
