multicam editing

[Hans Amersfoort]

Okay, I hope I can explain this properly. I am recording a musical with two cameras. It lasts for about 90 minutes. My camera chops the shot in units of about 15 minutes and the other camera chops in bits of about 22 minutes. I import in Premiere Pro CC 2017 and create a multi cam sequence. What happens is that each unit is considered as a different camera so I end up with about 11 cameras, whereas actually there are only two.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards and thanks for any input

Are you importing your media through the media browser?

If you look in the media browser - do you see your footage as two items or as 11?

Hello Hans,

fast fix: open your multicam timeline and move all separated files in one track, so you end up with two tracks for two cameras.

Best,

Or don't use multicam, put one camera on v1 the second on v2 and just cut out the sections on v2 that you don't like.
