Migrating and Avid Media Composer Multicam Project to Premiere Pro 2023

[susan33601165v2n2]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone could help me.  I am trying to migrate a multicam project from Avid Media Composer to Premiere Pro, I tried using AAF exports however they just won’t work on the multicam sequences. Would anyone know of a way to do this?

Multicam between apps is a main mess, no question.

Have you tried using an EDL instead? I know a lot of colorists that use those more than AAF anymore. Although these all seem to be pretty ancient processes.

Past that, @Warren Heaton  or @Kevin-Monahan or @Michael Grenadier might be able to assist.

This might work. Duplicate all multicam clips as many times, so that the
number of copies equals the number of camera angles. And then change each
multicam clip to a specific angle, and then flatten all the clips.

I don't see an automated path for this as Multicam Group Clips while in MultiCamera Mode in Avid Media Composer and Multi-camera Source Sequences with Multi-camera Targe Sequences in Adobe Premiere Pro are specific to the project file format of each NLE.

It should work to disable MultiCamera Mode in Media Composer, export an AAF of the Avid Sequence, and then use the Sequence that results from importing an Avid Sequence AAF into Adobe Premiere Pro as the Multi-camera Target Sequence on the Premiere Pro side.

It might work to use the clips in the resulting bin to create a Multi-camera Source Sequence, but I would expect better results by importing those clips separately to create the Multi-camera Source Sequence and then continuing from there with Premiere Pro's multi-camera editing workflow.
