Converting existing edit to multicam

Hi producer occasionally editing asking this question so apologies if it's dumb/ obvious

 

We have a workflow for post production of a multicam studio show whereby we bring in a line cut plus isolated feeds of each camera to fix/ assist with edits when cutting the show down to time- approx 5 separate camera feeds + the line cut

 

I take an initial pass to bring the show to length and then an editor jumps in on a Team Project to polish up (this is theoretically quicker than me doing a 'paper edit')

 

THE QUESTION: is there any way I can avoid working with all the feeds and make a sequence editing *only* the line cut feed and then he/ I can 'convert' that edit into a multicam later (to avoid me having to work with so many large files etc.)?

 

Thanks

 

FYI we are using Premiere Pro 2024

    Put the line cut in a multicam sequence and edit with that - he can then add the iso cameras to the nest.

    More typically I just use a keyboard macro to overcut the multicam (as the editorial rough cut has usually already been done by the producer from one of the cameras).
