PremierePro2 Limits Multicam edits per project?
I have a series of short video segments to cut together, and since they were all shot 3 camera (miniDV) I decided to try PPro2’s multicam feature. The first segment worked perfectly. When I synched up and enabled multicam on segment 2 though, I got no audio playback in the multicam monitor. Video rendered fine, and I can hear the audio if I scrub, but it will not playback at all in real time. After a couple restarts, I tried copying the relevant project files into a new project, set up multicam in there, and it worked perfectly again. Back to the original project, I tried closing Segment 1’s timelines and disabling multicam on it, but Segment 2 still refused to playback the audio. (And only in the multicam window; realtime audio playback on both the normal timelines is fine.) So while I do have a workaround, I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this; does PPro2, by intention or glitch, limit you to one multicam track per project? Or am I missing something else? Thanks anyone.

I’ve edited several projects containing several multicam timelines and edits without any trouble. If I had to take a guess, I’d say it’s a glitch with your setup.

Should’ve posted that too. The rig is:
Gigabyte MB (nForce4 SLI)
Athlon X2 3800+
2 Gigs RAM
eVGA 7800GT nVidia video card
WD Raptor 35 gig System drive
WD regular (7200rpm) Project Files drive
Windows XP SP2, fully updatedI think all my drivers are up to date, but I’ll check. I believe I tried Accelerated GPU effects both on and off and got the same result.

Yesterday I did also a test for the first time with multicam. Also no audio in the multicam timeline.
Then I found out that only soundtrack 1 is used in the multicam timeline.
In the original timeline, soundtrack 1 was switched off, because I will use only the sound of track 3 and 4.
Now I will try to copy/past track 3 and 4 to the multicam timeline.Maybe something like that is your problem too.
Good luck

That was one thing I checked actually- I know there’s a setting when you can pick if the audio gets cut along with the video, or if it uses only track 1 to output. (The Audio Follows Video option, under the Multicam Window options triangle; if I read you right, checking that on should let your edit read your audio tracks 3 and 4 without have to cut and copy them back into the final multicam track.)
I know it’s not that setting in my case cause I still get audio when I scrub in the multicam window, which I think would imply some kind of performance issue, but I can’t say for sure. Thanks though.
