Adjusting clips Lumetri from a multicam nest loaded onto Source panel deselects effect control

I've run into a similar problem and unfortunately not surprised to find it's been a known issue for years with no apparent fix in sight. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I've been unable to fix this issue across multiple versions of premiere, resetting my preferences, clearing my cache, using different computers.

I have a ~1 hour multicam clip with 3 camera angles. I've gone through the entire hour and cut between each of the three angles hundreds of times throughout the clip, as is a standard practice when editing with multicam. At this point, I would like to make color adjustments to the original uncut clips, inside the multicam sequence, so that these changes are also reflected in my fully edited main sequence, without having to color each and every cut up clip in my fully edited sequence. However, within any multicam sequence, every time I make a single change in the Lumetri color panel, the entire panel is deselected and greyed out, even though the clip is still selected in the timeline.

If I want to make another change to any color setting, I have to deselect and select the clip in the timeline, then make the change in the Lumetri panel, then it gets greyed out again, so I have to deselect and reselect the clip in the timeline to make another change and on and on it goes. The same thing happens every time I make a change to any Lumetri setting in the Effect Controls panel.

Again, this has been a persistent issue across at least the last 2 major releases of premiere (22 and 23) on at least 3 different (apple) laptops and desktops running different OS versions and with different specs (intel-based i9 and i7, as well as an M1 Max laptop). Anybody know of an actual fix for this or whether Adobe may be working on one?

Hi!

I ran into this problem today but and the lumetri panel would freeze when I would change a knob.

I found that dissabling all the clips in the my master sequence, I could then do adustments in the nested multicamed sequence.

I can confirm that this is a bug. We're looking into it. Looks like it goes back a couple versions. As you mention, not loading the nested clip into source will allow you to avoid the bug. Affects regular nested clips and multicam clips. 

Fascinating bug there.

You could of course quickly switch to the color workspace, as using the color wheels there is no problem. Would keep you working.

I just tested out the same workflow on Mac os 10.15 in Premiere Pro 13.1.5 and I faced the same issue of mouse pointer getting suddenly disappear and no matter what I do it does not appear back until I force quit Premiere Pro. it is not only the issue of  Multicam nest but the same thing happens if you open any nested sequence in the source monitor and switch to effects control panel to adjust the Lumetri color effect Color Wheels. It does not happen with other effects or other settings of Lumetri effects only the Color wheels 

Please submit bug here.
