Question

Undo ignores edits made in multi-cam sequence

Assuming this is a bug, but when I'm editing clips inside of a multicam sequence and try to undo an action, it will not take into consideration any of the edits inside the multicam for undo-ing. It seems to occur most often when cutting clips and its inconsistent in terms of when it happens. Here's a specific example:

 

In a normal sequence, I hide a video layer from view. Then, inside of a multicam sequence I make a series of cuts to the videos within. I accidentally make a cut where I don't want one and hit ctrl + z. Instead of undo-ing the most recent cuts/edits, the hidden layer from earlier unhides itself.

 

Any ideas/possible solutions?

      I'm still having this similar issue in version 25.1. These are the unresolved bugs that make it hard to justify continuing to use Premiere over Resolve or another software.

        Happens to me on 24.5. Pretty frustrating to not be able to control undos and redos. It can accidentally lead to serious work being undone without realizing it, and, forcing you to redo it manually.

        This bug still seems to be there in the latest Premiere Pro 24 version. My workflow is I make a synced sequence and then use that to create the multicam. Inside the synced sequence if I'm nesting any clips and doing edits on the clip inside the nested sequence. The Undo and Redo ignores all my edits and is not shown in the history. Pretty messed up that they still haven't fixed this issue.

          Same here.  I create a MULTICAM-Source Sequence with 3 different cameras in tracks 1, 2, 3.

           

          Then nest each of the cameras into its own sequence.

           

          Then say I add an adjustment layer to one of those new sequenes and then drop Lumetri Color effect into that adjustment layer. 

           

          If I now hit UNDO it will not remove the Lumetri Color effect rather it will Undo my most recent nesting action instead.  Its like Undo History completely ignores anything we do within a nested sequence.  This has been this way for several years now.

           

          WOULD LOVE if this could get fixed.

          Hey @jreichstadt 

           

          To be clear, you want to apply Lumetri on all the shots for the one camera, so inside the source sequence you select the whole track for that camera, nest, add Adjustment layer over the full width inside the nest, apply lumetri onto the AL. 

           

          Anyway, that's what I just did, and UNDO backed out all the changes one by one, until I was back to the source sequence. Then I use REDO and it got me all the way back to the changes I made in Lumetri.

           

          I'm not sure what problems you're having but I can't duplicate, as above.

            Which version are you working on? I tried recreating the issue as well with 2019 without issue.  Try clearing your cache, if that doesn't work you may have to trash preferences to give you a clean slate.

            Resetting my preferences seems to have worked so far. Thanks.

             

            For reference I am using version 13.1.5 build 47.

              Just to be sure, when you say "inside of a multicam sequence" you are referring to a Target sequence and not a Source sequence.

               

              I can't duplicate it. I move a clip, then I do some edits in the a target sequence. When I stop the playback I see all the edits just made. If I press Ctrl+Z to undo, all the edits I just made in multi-cam are deleted/restored, the moved clip stays moved. If I press ctrl-z again, the moved clip moves back.

              Sorry for the delayed response. I am unsure of what the difference between target and source sequences is, I had opened the multicam sequence in my timeline and any edits made inside the sequence didn't show up in the history bar.My suspicions are leading me to believe it's something to do with going full screen on a panel using ~, and possibly something to do with the hardware I'm on.
