View camera labels in multicam sequences.

I've been a Senior Editor for 24 years now. My specialty is editing multicam footage. When I've only got 10 cameras, it's okay. But more often than not, I get between 20 and 40 different sources, because most of the time, I'm called in to edit major shows. I come from the AVID world (where we see labels in multicam, as shown in the image below).

I'm more often asked to do my projects in Premiere these days. Not being able to see the labels on my timeline is really annoying. I need to find my bearings quickly. For a number of reasons, such as observing whether I'm using a source too often or fixing the same problem on a source every time I edit, it's crucial that I can see the labels directly on the timeline. It's a no brainer!

Thank you for considering my request and to the other editors, share, vote, make this request a reality!!!!

Has there been any update on this labelling issue or is it still in request? I'm also a fan of Avid's multi-cam labelling system, but am generally on Premiere Pro these days. How do i vote for your request to go through?

@bingee "This would be useful to apply a lumetri to all instances of a camera."

 

Agreed, but what you can do is grade one instance of the camera in the timeline, go to effect editor + cut the lumetri effect, then match frame to source and paste the effect onto that (either source clip or within the multicam nest).

 

It then ripples through all instances.

Hi adobe 

This would be very useful, I have tried all the methods mentione online and I can't get the label colours to show from the sources. This would be useful to apply a lumetri to all instances of a camera.

Oh and I posted with 2nd login I created - which doesn't allow editing of posts yet. Newer login dies allow me to see inline attachments + formatting, unlike this older one.

Sorry - meant to post they were dead - just to indicate there have been multiple requests for this over the years. Especially from Avid editors as they migrated to PP.

Why did you post those UserVoice links, they're all dead. Now we use threads like this one, and upvote, currently at about 20. 

Search the forums for other similar threads, but don't post like that, it's just wastes peoples time.
