Question

Muting a specific track when cutting to it using multicam

Hi All,

 

My wife and I record gaming content through OBS, we play multiplayer games so I am on my PC and she is on hers.

 

I have it setup so that, through both of our OBS, the game audio records to one track, and the mic audio records to another so that I can individually adjust volume if required.

 

This means that when I import both sets of footage into premiere pro there are 4 separate audio tracks, 2 x game audio, 2 x MIC; and I have just started using multicam to edit this footage which is going great so far.

 

However, the challenge I am currently facing is that, each time I switch to the other persons footage, I have to manually mute the game audio track from the footage I have just switched from so that you can only hear the game audio from the current persons perspective. 

 

My question is:

 

Is there a way, given the above scenario and using multicam, where each time I switch to the other persons footage; I can mute just the game audio track of the footage I have just switched from? 

 

To give an example:

 

If I switched from footage A to B, then game audio A would be muted, game audio B would be unmuted; and both MIC audio for A & B remain unmuted. Then if I switched back, game audio B = muted, game audio A = unmuted, and MIC audio for A & B are still unmuted.

 

Thanks!

You can use the Switch Audio option when creating the multicamera source sequence. This switches audio automatically based on the active camera.

 

Create the multicamera sequence

  1. Select your game footage clips in the Project panel.

  2. Choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence.

  3. In the dialog box, open the Audio tab.

  4. Set Audio to Switch Audio.

  5. Click OK.

 

Enable audio to follow video

  1. Add the multicamera source sequence to your timeline.

  2. In the Program Monitor, click the Settings (wrench) icon.

  3. Enable Multi-Camera Audio Follows Video.

 

Now when you switch camera angles, the associated game audio switches automatically.

 

For the mic tracks, since you want both mics active at all times, add those clips directly into your main editing sequence instead of including them in the multicam audio.

 

Important: Add the mic tracks before you start cutting. If you add them after editing the multicam, they may not stay in sync.
