Generate Multicam sequence data (EDL/FCPXML) iOS or web app which can be imported later to Premiere Pro?
Hi all,
My ultimate goal is to sit in front of my monitors during a shoot with a tablet of some kind and to “cut” cameras without a switcher. The tablet would ultimately generate some kind of data (an EDL or FCPXML or other) which could then be imported into Premiere Pro as a multicam sequence to be linked with media after the shoot.
I know enough coding to generate an EDL to make a rudimentary version of this but the problem with this is that when I import the EDL into PP, it brings in each cut as a separate clip. Anyone know of a way to have PP use some kind of unique identifier on media so that it sees clips with the same name or UID as one single clip? The other downside is that this doesn’t actually generate a multicam sequence, but just a regular sequence. This might be OK for now but multicam is definitely ideal.
The state of FCPXML and premiere seems to be a bit of a mess, and frankly too much code for me as FCPXML is quite complex (especially with multicam sequences).
Does anyone know:
- Is there an app that generates some kind of data that PP can turn into a multicam sequence later already?
- How to make PP see the same clip in an EDL as the same clip (not separate clips)
- Is there a library that exists for generating FCPXML (I couldn’t find one)
- Any other suggestions to achieve what I am trying?
Thanks for any help/advice!

Hi Dan,
We just announced Adobe Prelude Live Logger. Not for multicam, specifically, but mainly for live events. Check it out:If this won’t do it for you, please make a feature request so the team knows what you want: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

EVS have a product ‘Director’s Cut’ which will create multi grouped clips in a sequence via XML (or AAF for Avid).
It will also monitor the vision mixer / switcher and add that info to the sequence as cuts.
It is very cool for tapeless multi camera shoots, but not a trivial installation (requires EVS server and IPDirector and additional box to interpret switcher if required).
Not sure it fits your timescale or requirements, but shows it can be done ;-
