  • Audio targeting in Multi Camera edits Premiere 5.5

    Posted by Mark E. roberts on August 16, 2012 at 2:04 am

    I am editing 6 days worth of multi camera shots from a seminar I shot last month. I am using Premiere Pro 5.5.

    I shot the class with the speaker mic’ed with 2 wireless lapel mics: one mic going into cam 3 left channel, and one going into cam 2 right channel; the open channel on each camera catching ambient audio via camera mics. The thought here was I would have some redundancy in the event one mic popped out due to battery issues, or interference, and still have an audio channel to sync to with PluralEyes.

    Camera 1 was a wide shot of the front of room, and had 4 choir mics directed at the audience (to pick up questions and such) running into a mixer, and then into cam 1.

    In Premiere, I line up all the video shots with PluralEyes (or manually) and then nest that sequence into a new multi cam sequence and begin editing.

    My issue is how to get the cleaner audio of the instructor, which is on either CAM 2 or 3 (with the lapel mics), onto the track of CAM 1, which is the only track I am able to hear when doing multi cam edits.

    I have worked around this by copying the audio from track 2 or 3 onto track 1 in the original (not nested) sequence and that has worked and I could keep on editing. But now, I need to do a group discussion portion, and need the audio from track 1 as well as the others and I am not sure how to mix them into the main audio track that the multicam process requires.

    I hope I am clear in my explanation. In essence, how do you get a mix of tracks to show up onto track 1, the only audio track that seems to be able to be read by the multicam feature in Premiere 5.5?

    Many thanks!!
