Can't pancake edit with multicam sequences — Premiere creates new audio tracks?

[Danny Luksa]

Hello,

We've created a bunch of multicam sequences for a project we are working on. In the multicam timeline, we've noticed small digits next to the audio tracks. These same digits are not present on the regular sequence. Can somebody explain what this digit means?

We'd like to use the multicam sequence to pancake edit, but the audio tracks from the multicam do not drag into the master timeline without creating new audio tracks. Presumably it has something to do with the small digits next to the audio track?

Is there a way to solve so we can pancake edit with the multicam sequence?

That means they are different audio track types. A "2" means that it is Adaptive. No icon means it's Standard. A "Speaker" icon means it's mono. What I would do in this case would be to create a new sequence and when you do click on "Tracks" and then find the "Load from Sequence" and in the dialog box choose the sequence you will be pulling clips from in your pancake workflow. This will match the audio tracks.
