Change Sequence Settings

[Jon Barrie]

I don’t think the suggestions for this problem are completely addressing the fact that without replacing each cut made with the mutlicam footage this project can’t be fixed in PPro.

open the PPro in AE where you get to see the cuts in the project. Then resize the comps (which can be done at any stage of the edit), reresenting the seq’s of the multicam, then save it out as a PPro project. Reopen it in PPro.

hopefully this will make all the seq’s used in the HD framesize you need, including the mutlicam stuff.

I have not tested this, buthopefully the Multi-cam concept kinda holds cuts timing, but it may not as After Effects doesn’t have a multicam function.

There is a lacking in the way multi-cam editing is not collapsable in PPro workflow.

Sorry my friend. I think the only true solution to your sitution is to make a duplicate of the multicam seq with a HD timeline – then one cut at a time replace with the replace>match frame function with hitting M key to match with SD multicam cut and find the timecode of that seq and know the camera angle then assign the replaced HD Multicam build the correct camera angle.

The only other way to work this out quicker than my last post is if your multicam edit actually runs in realtime.

Add the HD multicam build above the one that has the SD one, use the SD edit and jump to the cuts in it and have the timeline zoomed in so you can see the camera angle, have the multicam window open and have it looking at the track you have the HD multicam nest and select the cam angle as you jumpt to the cuts of the original.

I think this is a great learning experience that HD projects don’t lend themselves to SD Editing and a fun time workin in Multicam projects with an offline SD/DV to then attempt to go up to HD/HDV.

Thanks for all the help guys. Tryin some of this out. Will let you know soon.

I have the same problem. I took Arvin’s suggestion below. I got everything to work except the multicam timeline still show 720×480 instead of matching 1280×1080 to my source timeline. Does anyone know what gives?

Hi Arvin,

Yes, I tried it again with DVC Pro.

So just to confirm one last time, copy SD clips to new HD Timeline, select one of the clip, right click “Reveal in Project”. Then right click that clip in Project manager and select “Replace with Footage”, then choose your HDV replacement.

If that doesn’t work, try renaming the HD files to something else, but it should work that way.

Sorry it took so long to post the solution to this. Jon I think actually posted it.

K,

1) Using the track selection tool select all the multi cam clips in your time line that you want to convert to HD

2) Right click and select replace with AFter Effects Compostion. After Effects will open up with the the comp loaded up.

3) Open the Multi Cam Composition and adjust settings to hd. Do the same with the Nested Comp.

4) Export the project as a Premiere project under file export

5) Open the project in Premiere. You’ll need to remember which cuts use which camera because exporting from after effects reverts all the multi cam clips to camera 1

Arvin, you are a life saver. I got it to work, except one of the video on my source timeline is missing. The audio is still there. Weird.

[Fennie Ng]

After couple hours playing around, I realize all video and audio tracks must be turned on in order for AE to export them.

Your advice worked out perfectly. Thanks

Fennie

Glad to hear it worked! sorry got real busy again.

SOLVED!
hi guys!
I just registered to share the solution to this awful problem, lets hope adobe cs6 modify the sequence settings so we can adjust any time, just like in AE.
