Unable to delete an edit in a multicam sequence

I’m using Premiere Pro 2019 (V13.1.2 Build 9)

I’ve recently worked on a multi camera edit, and I’m having an issue when I wish to delete a previously chosen camera in the multicam sequence. I can see the cuts on the multicam video track, but if I highlight any one of them (highlight the cut with the trim indicator) and hit the delete key nothing happens. The only way I can change the camera is to move the CTI in front of the cut, start playback, re-select the camera that is currently the chosen view, and then change to a different camera at the edit point.

I don’t do that many multicam edits, but if memory serves, I can’t recall this behaviour happening before. Advice would be welcome.

Regards,

Stephen

I have also started to experience this. Did you ever find a valid fix?

I can't replicate that, it seems to be working fine.

Don't even need to be playing the clip, if the CTI is just sitting over a clip and I select a different camera from the multi-cam monitor, that clip is changed to the new selection. Further I can click any clip and <Del> to delete as normal.

Select the cut with the Selection tool (V) rather than the Trim tool.

No luck, I've tried that as well and it makes no difference. The delete command is completely ignored, once I highlight the cut, and press delete, all it does is remove the highlight from the cut. Nothing else happens. Also, as expected, there is no "undo" for the action I carried out, as nothing has happened.

The only thing I can think of, and it's a long shot, is the three cameras I used, two were recoding at 50fps, and one at 25fps, though I wouldn't have thought that would matter.

Can you try right-clicking a clip and select 'clear', see what happens. Keyboard shortcut could have been changed, is corrupted, etc...

I tried the using the clear command from the Edit menu but it made no difference. I’ve done a little bit more experimentation working in a test project with just the three camera clips. Same thing happens. What I did learn however, is I can get the delete edit to work, but only if the edit refers to the same camera, which in essence is useless.

To explain using three cameras 1,2 & 3:

Sequence has edits as follows C1 C2 C1 C3 C2

I cannot clear any of the edit anywhere in the above sequence.

If I have a sequence like this C1 C2 C2 C1 C3 C2 (note the extra C2 as the third edit)

I can clear the second C2 edit and that’s all. As I say, that’s useless as you’re still using the same camera.

I’m completely baffled.
