Multicam with too many cameras

Question

Howdy folks,

New to Premiere, and decided to give it another try. I've spent many hours on another NLE, and used Pluraleyes to sync up the camera clips. In this project, I have one very long clip from one camera, and 10 clips from the other. It creates a new file every 15 minutes. After creating a multi cam timeline, Premiere creates ten cameras!

The clips are named as they come out of the cameras. In all the examples oneline, a single clip is used from each camera, and named as such. Do I have to rename the clips? Is there some other workaround?

Thanks!

10 takes? Does that mean 10 shots of the same for instance start of the video (a take is a scene done over again), or was it 10 clips/shots turned on and off during "the one very long take from one camera." The latter is how I usually end up with clips and they come out on individual tracks and thus "Premiere creates ten cameras!".

If the above is the case, you can right-click the source sequnce (in the project) and select 'open the in timeline' Then you can drag each clip down to the 2nd track, delete all unused tracks and then you'll have 2 cameras. Then right-click that sequence in the project and select 'new sequence from clip'.

Doh!  My mistake. Not takes.  Clips.  One angle was from a camera that shoots continously, and the other camera breaks up every 15 minutes creating new files.  This is no problem for Pluraleyes, but it seems to be one for Premiere.
