Question

Multi-cam and lag

Hi, I have a very fast machine, Apple M4 Max, 48 GB Ram, but still struggling to get a fast workflow whilst using multicam

 

I have a parent sequence, with a nested sequence which then contains a multi-cam sequence. These three tracks are also nested sequences.

 

Here are my parent, nested and multi-cam sequences:

 

 

As you can see from this, the lag in the main parent sequence is very harsh (the spinning beachball doesn't show in the screen record, but you get the idea):

 

 

Next, I tried removing all the cuts in the nested sequence:

 

 

And voila, the lag is gone:

 

 

The lag also disspears when remove all the cuts in the multicam sequence. 

 

Next I tried replacing all the nested clips in the multi-cam sequence, with the orignal MOV/MP4s and this also fixed the lag

Is Premiere just not designed for nested clips inside multicam sequences?

Hi there,

This must be frustrating for you. Thank you for taking the time to create the post. Please let me know which Premiere Pro version you're using. You can find that in the Creative Cloud App or by launching Premiere Pro and going to Help > About Premiere Pro.

 

Please also share what type of source files you're working with.

 

Thanks,

Ishan
