Convert Regular Sequence To Multicam Sequence
Hello…
I’m new to Premiere and I compiled a sequence of multiple camera clips (82 clips from 3 cameras).
I spent a couple of hours, lining everything up.
Unfortunately, I did a normal sequence instead of one of the fancy multi-cam sequences.
Now, I can’t get the preview window to show the multicam view.
When I added the original sequence to a new sequence, and enabled multicam, it still only shows a single clip for any given moment.I really don’t want to redo all of the lineup work and I don’t have timecode (so I can’t really create a new multicam sequence and have it line all the clips up).
Is there a way to convert the normal sequence into a multicam sequence, so that I can start working with the multicam preview?

Select any 2 clips in the project bin, right click and choose create new multicam clip. Highlight the new Multicam clip and choose Open in Timeline. Delete the clips from this timeline. Select all the clips from your 82 clip timeline, copy and paste into the Multicam timeline you just emptied.
Now highlight the Multicam clip in the Project bin and select New Sequence from clip.

Thanks…
That worked, perfectly.

I spent a while creating spanned markers (not sure if that’s the correct term, but markers that cover a range of time) in my multicam sequence to mark where each part of the song is in a music video I’m doing (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, etc.) Unfortunately I have too many layers of footage and my current hard drive setup is not fast enough (I need to set up a better RAID array) to keep up with playback, so I need to just do the rough edit traditionally. Is there any harm in just treating a multicam sequence as a regular sequence and editing as normal?
