Multicam Sequence: Replace multi-cam sequence that is already in an edit sequence?

[Luke21]

Hey guys,

I work on a TV show and we deal with big multi-cam sequences with several cameras.

Occasionally we receive go-pro footage with no timecode that needs to be added to a certain multi-cam sequence. I manually bring the gopro clips into the multi-cam sequence in my project.  Since we have multiple editors working on the show we have to keep consistency across the board.  I wish I could have them import my new multi-cam sequence (containing the new gopro clips) through the media browser and replace the old one with this one instead of manually syncing up the new gopro clips in every editors sequence.

I was wondering if there was a way to replace a multi-cam sequence that is already cut up in an edit sequence with a new multi-cam sequence?  This way it would reference the new MC sequence as opposed to the old MC sequence (without the gopro angles).

Example:

Multi-cam Sequence A contains Clip 1 and Clip 2.  MC Sequence A is brought into an edit sequence and cut up with angles switching.

Clip 3 arrives and needs to be added to MC Sequence A. I manually add Clip 3 into the MC Sequence.  Now I have to do this for 3 other editors instead of having them easily import the new MC Sequence into their project and replace the old mc sequence with the new.

The obvious answer to this is having all of your footage before creating multicam sequences but we occasionally get footage after the main A and B cams footage arrives.

I'm having a very similar issue. I sent a copy of my premiere edit file with a 26 angle multicam (stage music video) to my assistant editor.  He makes a multicam cut of the song and sends me back the premiere file.  Now, when I import the sequence containing his edit, I also get a COPY of the original multicam.  His edit references the multicam COPY instead of the ORIGINAL.  I would like to know how to redirect the clips in his edit sequence from the multicam COPY clip to the multicam ORIGINAL clip.  Doing a replace, such as the OP wants to do would solve my issue exactly.  I can replace the ORIGINAL with the COPY, then trash the COPY and keep the now replaced ORIGINAL and all edits will now reference the ORIGINAL multicam clip.  Anyone have a solution?

I would really like to have this same functionality.  I use Multi-Cam Sequences a lot and this would be an increadible time saver with multiple editors working on the same project.

Have you tried Productions yet? It will sync multicamera sequences across multiple projects.

be careful what you wish for.  The more complicated this stuff gets, the buggier it can get.  I'd just create a sequence with the go pro material with the same starting timecode and drop it on top of your multicam material in your timeline.  Would be pretty quick to sift thru the go pro material for the useful bits...

Are you all in one facility working off a server, or all separate operating systems?

Team Projects would work well for the later ... you all need to have the media on local storage, but the project file lives on Adobe's CC servers and can be updated to everyone instantly.

Running in Production mode with a shared server would be the other way to go, as then ... everyone accesses the bits they need.
