Color correcting a single camera angle within a multicam sequence

[Angelo Lorenzo]

A multicam is a nested sequence. If you cut it already then you can either 1) apply the effect to each clip individually or select all the blocks, nest it again, and then apply the effect to the new single nested sequence. You shouldn’t see any performance penalties from nesting.

Thanks – I was hoping not to have to apply the filter to every edit individually – just wanted to know if there was a way to apply a filter to a single camera within a multicam, but globally on a timeline rather than edit by edit.

If you have CS6, there is also the option of adjustment layers if you want to avoid nesting.

G’day David,

There is a way to do exactly what you want.

Drilling into the Multicam edit you can find the camera angle (represented by the track number) add the effect to the clip/s in there and go back to your Multi-camera edit to see the nest update 🙂

To get into the MC Sequence right click it from the Project Panel and select “Open in Timeline”.

You should see the full stack of clips that make up the MC workflow. Hide the eyes of the video tracks above the camera angle you need to adjust. When done treating it as you would with any clip, turn the eyes back on.

Every time you cut to that camera angle the fix will be seen. 🙂

You can stack timelines as broken out panels so you have the MC Edit on one and the MC (Nest) Sequence on another.

Check this clip on how to do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qcJVlq9bcs&feature=share&list=UUJFdvHfcVBpErDSkAX3PLmg 🙂

Awesome…. This was exactly what I was searching for….

I know this is a very old thread but there are new options available so I thought I’d update the answer.

Premiere Pro CC has the ability to do all cuts/subclips in a multicam sequence at once. Just right-click on the sequence and choose “flatten” from the Multicamera options. Next, click on the cut you want to change and press “F” for Match Frame. The Source clip will now open in a source monitor. Apply the effect / filter to the source and it will be applied to all the cuts from that same source file.

Hi patrick
Thank you for your post.
I have a question. Once the sequence is flatten and effects applied to clips, can I continue editing using multicamera in that sequence?

or

Is there a way to colour correct one camera before doing the multicamera edit?

Thank you

Hi Patrick,
You look like you are up to date on color correcting multicam in Premiere Pro CC 2015. Can you help me here:
When I make a change to one camera as I am cutting, that change, be it scale, color, or probably others too, seem to go onto the next camera.

So I have to get rid of the effect in order to go on. How can I stop this from happening.

Thank,
Trig

Hi Trig,

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been on some high demand projects for a couple of months and I failed to respond to a number of similar requests. Did you resolve this issue or do you still need help?
