Multicam Tips & Tricks for Premiere Pro Editors

by Jarle Leirpoll · Published February 23, 2021 · Updated July 27, 2022

I wrote the Multicam chapter in the Best Practices and Workflow Guide for Adobe, and this post is a collection of both simple and more advanced techniques and workflows that didn’t fit in the Best Practices Guide format, but nevertheless can be really useful for Multicam editing workflows. The techniques here are not necessarily the ones recommended by Adobe, but they have proven to be helpful to some Multicam editors. The order is somewhat random.

Links to the sections

• Creating the Editing Sequence
• Creating Multicams Manually
• Creating a Multichannel “Direct Out” Sequence Preset
• Syncing Clips in a Timeline
• Gotchas when Syncing via Audio Waveforms
• Converting your Custom Sequence into a Multicam
• Enabling Multicam for Video Only
• Trimming Multicams with keyboard shortcuts
• Syncing Clips that do not Sync Automatically
• Adding more Camera Angles
• Cutting with empty Camera Tracks
• Choosing a Sequence Preset other than Automatic
• Ganging Monitors when viewing Multicams in Source Monitor
• Playback Problems when Multicam is open in Source Monitor
• Pixelated Image from Source Monitor via Transmit
• Multicams with mixed size sources
• Safe Margins and Multicam

Hey @Neil , do you know who we talk to about the broken link for this? Been trying to access the PDF from that page and it's coming up blank.

Are you talking about the "Get File" link at this page?

I thought it had an issue a few days ago, but just worked for me now. I'm using Firefox, and I had to change settings so it would download rather than display in the browser.

I just tried it again and it worked this time. Previously I couldn't get it to load in the window, much less download it.
