Multicam Tips & Tricks for Premiere Pro Editors
I wrote the Multicam chapter in the Best Practices and Workflow Guide for Adobe, and this post is a collection of both simple and more advanced techniques and workflows that didn’t fit in the Best Practices Guide format, but nevertheless can be really useful for Multicam editing workflows.
