Hi there

 

I am running the latest PP and I can't seem to "open in timeline".

The clips have also lost their saturation.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks a ton

Thank you, Warren.

 

I've had to work around by duplicating the mulitcam on an above layer, flattening the multicam, which when I noticed a Lumetri effect was applied to A cam, removed that and colour is back to normal. However this effect did not appear in the multicam clips. I'm going to have to toggle the camera to B if I need to use that (on the below Multicam layer) and flatten again. Just not something I wished to do on an hour long doccumentry. 

 

Appreciate the help. Thank you!

Some thoughts:

 

***I'm running a two cam interview (pro res LT proxies on a prores LT) timeline.

Sometimes a basic color correction gets rendered into Proxy files.  If a basic color correction is rendered into the Proxy (also called "baked in"), then proxies would need to be created again without the color correction.

 

***an assistant editor has made a multicam sequence which A: I'd prefer not to work with and B: For some reason, the situation has dropped to zero.
Do the clips appear in black and white?


***I'd like to revert back to a 2 cam working sequence or at very least return the clips to the Slog colour.

  • Check that no color correction (namely Lumetri Color) is applied to the Full Resolution clips.   
  • Check that display color management is set correctly.
  • Tone mapping requires specific source formats. Is the source from an iPhone or is it HLG media?

 

***There used to be an option to "open in timeline", however I can't find it if I right click on the Multicam sequence.

  • Review the multi-cam editing workflow.  The process uses a Multi-camera Source Sequence and a Multi-camera Target Sequence.
  • "Open in Timeline" is the default behavior for opening a Sequence.  It should appear just above "Set Poster Frame" toward the bottom of the pop-up menu when we right-click a Sequence in the Project tab or Bin tab.   It's also what should happen if we double-click a Sequence in the Project tab or Bin tab.
  • An alternative to using the multi-cam editing workflow is to stringout all of Camera A clips into Sequence A and all of Camera B clips into Sequence B; open Sequence A; and then use "Open in Source" for Sequence B with Gang Sync enabled/disable as needed to overwrite Sequence B into Sequence A.
  • Another alternative to using the multi-cam editing workflow is to superimpose the Camera B clips over the Camera A 

 

***They were fine colourwise 2 days ago.

  • It's hard to know what, if anything might have changed.

I am wondering if there's something Mac-ish going on here ... and I'm total PC.

 

So ... @Kevin-Monahan and @Warren Heaton10841144  ... you guys got ideas?

I've tried:

Deleting cache and reseting Premiere.

Reverting to an earlier update.

Resetting machine.

Copy pasting to another project with a different sequence settings.

I'm running Os Ventura on a 16 g M1 Macbook pro.

 

Hope you can help, so I don't have to do everything manually.

 

Thanks again

 

Matthew

Not much information to go on.

 

First, your OS/hardware, and the media involved ... SDR/HDR, what? This is all necessary.

 

Ok ... you have video clips in the project panel ... made by what? Screen capture, video camera, what? ... and you are trying to create a sequence? Or open an already created sequence?
