multicam export to after effects
seems like you can’t just copy a multicam clip into after effects?
everytime I try this it just copies the first clip, not the other three clips I cut with the multicam function.
Do I have to split them up and how would I do this the fastest way?
Anyone any idea? -

Have you tried importing the sequence?

hey,
same problem. just imports the whole footage and the cut footage is just the first clip. the problem seems to be that multicam editing doesn’t produce proper clips. now I try to figure out to create proper clips, but still searching….
any ideas?

Do you have Adobe Production Studio?

no. Getting a bit confused, just exported the multicam-sequence, it only exported cam 1…? something’s wrong here..

I had the same kind of issue. If you try and cut and paste it will give you the whole video instead of the clip. Which is frustrating.

Unfortunately. After Effects cannot import Premiere’s multicam clips with the edits applied. It imports the multicam clip before the edits.
This same problem will happen if you do a “Replace clip with After Effects Composition” in Premiere.I’m trying to get this limitation better documented in our help system. This is a workflow that’s valuable to me as well, so I’ll be advocating adding support for multicam clips in AE’s Premiere importer as we move forward.

It looks like this is still a problem in CS5. Kind of disappointing. I create music videos with multicam all the time and I have to render an intermediate version to bring into after effects. Not being able to use the dynamic link is very frustrating.

One fix I found is time consuming, but gets the job done.
From Premiere, right-click your multicam clip and select Replace with After Effects Composition.
In After Effects (5.5), your multicam clip will appear as a pre-comp. Just open the pre-comp, and turn off the tracks you don’t want to use.
Each instance will generate a new multicam pre-comp.
