Question

Multicam Sequence not working with Deity TC-1s

Equipment. Two Canon 90D, 4k, MP4, 29.97 fps, one Zoom F6 with one Deity mic, Three Deity TC-1s, IMac latest software, Premiere Pro Subscription latest software. 
Setup. Synced all TC-1s. Confirmed TCs running exactly the same. Set TC-1s to 29.97 fps. Using one TC-1 as master, jam synced the Zoom F6. Confirmed all running in sync. Attached TC1 to camera. Everything still paired. Mic levels set ok. 
Roll Sound, Roll Cameras. Using two different camera angles front and side of subject. Shot a continuous clip of about 20 seconds with some dialogue. 
Cut. Removed cards and created a desktop folder. Ingested all three assets. 
PP. Created a New Project and imported all three assets. Selected all three assets and right clicked to Create Multicam. 
The fun begins. 50-50 chance a new Multicam clip appears in the Project Window or a message stated audio files cannot be synced.

Placing the Multicam clip on the Sequence, it's all messed up. None of the clips or sound are remotely close to being synced. 
After an entire day of double checking Everything and trying every conceivable combination in the Multisync selection window, I gave up and called Adobe the next morning. I gave them remote control of my computer. After two full hours of trying every conceivable thing, they apologized and said the Timecodes, despite the TC-1s being definitely paired (Confirmed on Sidus App) were not being recognized by PP. They said to just use a clapper and drop markers!!  Help. Sending back the TC-1s to BandH, (Love them.)

Help. May try BlueSync?? 

thanks in advance.

    I am pretty much encountering the same issue. I shoot vlog style automotive content for a youtube channel and just got done filming a "build vlog" this past weekend. I'm using the Sony fx3 with a TC-1 and three PR-2 mics. Made sure all TC settings were corretly set on the mics and tc-1 and also synced using Sidus audio app. All throughout the weekend I made sure to constantly re sync the mics and TC-1 to ensure they were all good and synced. Today I import the footage into premiere and try to create a multicamera source sequence via timecode and I get "audio sync error" from Premiere. Very nice... Tried adding camera labels and played around with literally every other option in that menu and nothing... Either I get "Audio sync error" or it does create a sequence but it's all messed up and misaligned and also for some reason it's literally all a black screen. I contacted Deity and I'm praying they have a solution because if not... I'm going to have to manually synce all this audio and i have over 500 video clips with HOURS of audio.

    Oh man, that is not a good prospect. Sorry to hear.
    I spent hours on the phone with Adobe but together we could not find a solution.
    Luckily, B&H took back the Deity stuff and sold me an Ultrasync Blue by Atomos.
    The Blue remembers my two cameras and the synch jumps on both of them with alacrity. Takes seconds to sync up my two Fuji H2. Adobe gobbles up the footage, makes a synched folder, and syncs both. It’s like live TV editing. Camera 1, click…..Camera 2, click…..
    Very cool. Good luck.

    So the Atomos UltraSync Blue works easily? Ok ... sounds interesting ... I could use me some cam syncing ...  😉

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Using Two Canon 90D, ZoomF6 with mic, 2 Deity TC-1s, all frame rates synced 29.97 in camera, F6, and TC-1. All time TC-1 and confirmed in Sidus App. 
    Multicam Sequence will Not work. Either Audio files don't match, or it does make a Multicam Sequence but nothing is synced on timeline,

    Spent 2hours with Adobe help. They controlled my computer. No joy.

    Sending TC-1s back tomorrow?

    Help.
