Question

Multicam and different frame rates and sync issues.

Hello, I have Premiere Pro CC latest version and I'm trying to figure out how to film with one camera at 60fps and another at 29.97fps and sync them in multicam with audio in sync.

I tried this one and the two videos together in multicam looked off and wrong and the sync was even off.

Unfortunately the second camera doesn't film in 60fps otherwise I would use both in 60fps and I will be filming a wedding and want the dancing to be in 60fps so I can slow things down etc but still have the multicam going on.

Hello, i edit wedding films for a living, so i multicam all the time. All the video guys that i work with shoot in mixed 25fps and 50fps.

my workflow is to place all the clips, from each camera onto the timeline. Change the sequence setting to 50fps, and export that and an FCP xml. Open that file in Plural Eyes and sync it up. 98% of the time it works, its when occosinally a 100fps file gets in there, it can throw it off. Hope this helps

For multicam, shoot with the same specs on both cameras.  Decide when you shoot if it will be normal or slow motion.  If you can't shoot both in slow motion, then shoot with only one camera.

Thanks for the advice, Jim ... you're one of the more experienced users of multi-cam here regularly.

I've not heard of this being ... successful. Multicam can have enough issues without different frame-rates.

With cameras set to the same frame-rate. Using time-ramped clips in a multi-cam workflow typically requires doing the multi-cam then adding the time-ramped bits in editing after the multi-cam.
