Effect controls deselects when changing motion parameters

[Alessio Attanasio]

Hi everyone, for months now I have had an issue with premiere that happens specifically when I work in a nested clip that has had multicam enabled and hope somebody has a fix for this.

How to create the error:

Clip 1 on track v1

Clip 2 on track v2

Select both ->  right click -> nest sequence -> enable multicam

Open the multicam sequence created -> select any of the 2 clips -> effects control / motion -> change any parameter (position/scale/rotation/anchor point...) for example: position from 960 to 961 -> press enter or just select another parameter.

Error appears

The clip gets deselected, you are not in the effects control anymore and you have to reselect the clip -> motion -> do other adjustments.

This is a very tedious and painful process I have to go through in cases where reframing or repositioning of clips needs to be done, has any of you encountered the same issue?

Attaching a screen recording to show you all in the hope to find a solution to this. 🙂

Reset preferences

I`m unfortunately not able to do that, I get the error that I can`t move nor delete that file.

Make new project and import this one: see how that goes.

Unfortunately this is an issue I have with EVERY single Multicam project I work with, doesn`t matter if I import it in a new one, I had already tried that 😞

Try setting up multicam from the project window instead of in the timeline.
