This is one of the biggest reasons users are ditching Adobe and moving to Davinci, and I think I may be next.
Are you sick of having to clean up a cascading waterfall of clips after using waveform sync to create a multicam sequence? I know I am, and I know Premiere users have been complaining about this for at least 10 years. Hey Adobe, can you help a homie out?
When you selects a batch of clips in the project panel, right click, create multicam sequence, there are options to sync by in point, out point, timecode, sound timecode, and audio. Under the timecode option you also have options to "create single multicam source sequence" and track assignments by camera angle or camera lable. WHY YOU NO OFFER THESE OPTIONS FOR AUDIO SYNC???
I'm a documentary editor and in the indie world we often don't have the luxury of shooting with timecode. Waveform sync is often times the only syncing option I have, and when I create a waveform sync multicam sequence I'm stuck with anywhere between 50-100 clips all seperated on their own video tracks. I then have to manually bring down all of the clips to video tracks 1, 2 and 3, and bring up all of the associated audio clips to audio tracks 1, 2 and 3. This is obvioulsy a huge time waster and other programs like Davinci don't do this.
I'm aware you can input camera lable metadata to you footage, but you cannot tell premiere to read this metadata when using waveform sync. Please please PLEASE enable these options for waveform sync and you will save this premiere user and many others from jumping ship.
Also while you're at it, instead of muting all of the audio tracks below A1 & A2 by deafult, can we just have A1 & A2 soloed? Clicking around to unmute these tracks is also a cumbersome waste of time when you could just have the top two audio tracks soloed by default and then solo more audio tracks below as needed.
Okay that's all, peace and love.
