Question

Multicam - Shows Black Camera - In Middle of File?

I'm working on Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) using Premiere Pro 2024.6.1

 

I noticed a clip was slightly out of sync in my multicam, I went into the sequence, muted the top track to see/fix it, but when I unmuted the track, that portion of the file I've been editing with in multicam is still appearing as "black" and muted? When I match frame back into the multicam, the B Cam will appear again, but only slightly before this section I've edited with, then it suddenly turns black, then reappears....in the middle of a single video file. I've tried enabling/disabbling the clip. Muting/unmuting the track. Restarting Premiere, restarting my computer, deleting all my media cache files in hopes that this will fix it. Why can't the multicam feature ever just work with Adobe....this is the most basic of functions and the inadequacy makes me want to pull my hair out. I think I'm going to just migrate over to Avid if this isn't an easy fix....

Are you working in a single project file or a Production?

Hi there,

 

We're sorry to hear about this. Are you experiencing this issue with any specific multicam sequence? For testing purposes, have you tried the newer version of Premiere Pro to check if the multicam preview is working properly? Also, if possible, please share a screen recording showing the preview issue. It will help us in further investigating the issue.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

After running through all the typical fixes for this Adobe bug, I finally figured it out. The clip had been trimmed short on accident within the multicam. But thank you all for reaching out.

I'm confused, was it an 'Adobe bug' or 'The clip had been trimmed short on accident'?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
