Duplicate Frame Markers and Waveform Issues with Premiere Productions & Multicam Clips

Hello,

 

I've been developing my workflow to edit features using Premiere Productions. It's really great, but have two big issues.

 

1. The "show duplicate frame markers" doesn't work consistently in Productions. I think it's due to the media getting confused about what's in the "project" when the media is linking to a different "project" in the production? 

 

2. Audio waveform issues. Sometimes, the waveforms will glitch out in the timeline - they'll be invisible, and I'll zoom in or out to the perfefct size and they'll show up, then disappear again. Also with multicam clips - they're great, but it's very hit or miss whether the waveforms will generate. See below for screenshots of "invisible waveforms", both in the timeline and the source monitor. This happens with multicam clips in general, and with a fair amount of audio clips when in a Production.

 

Would love to hear how Adobe is working on fixing this or if anyone has found a way to avoid these issues 🙂

Hi Jack,

The Duplicate Frames issue is a bug that I have noticed since updating to Premiere Pro 2024. It's been in the last two versions, and hopefully it will be fixed soon. I have found that a restart has fixed things in the past, but this is not ideal.

As for waveforms in multicams, are your multicams being made with Premiere Pro's built-in Multi-cam window, or are they being made manually?

Here's a video I made about setting up audio for multi-cam in Premiere Pro that may be helpful.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers,
Paul

Maddening that showing Duplicate Frames Marker is still not working in 25.2.1 a year later!

I rely on seeing duplicate frames for my documentary work flow and it's really messing with my jam for this to be so unreliable.
