Multicam Selection [ASAP]

[Paddy Uglow]

(I’m assuming you’re on Premiere Pro – I don’t know if it’s OS X or Win)
I always put each of my cameras into separate sequences, then put those sequences all into tracks on a new “sync” sequence (and sync them all up), then drag the nested sequence “sync” into another new sequence called “multicam”.
It’s a bit more time-consuming, but it means you can apply grading, audio levels, etc to the original camera sequences even after you’ve made your multicam edits. And you can drag “sync” into another new sequence if you want to do an alternative multicam edit.
In your circumstances, have you got anything that’ll edit the audio levels in the original movie files? You could back up the current source files, fix the audio levels and save over the source movies. I used to use Soundtrack Pro but it won’t run on my upgraded mac, so I use QuickTime Pro to do it in a rather more longwinded way.
I hope that helps

I hope it worked for you – I did something similar for a colleague yesterday – using Audition to remove noise from part of movie file and saving it out as a WAV, then using QuickTime Pro to combine the WAV with the original movie, and to remove the original sound. I used to be able to do all of this in SoundTrack Pro and save straight to MOV, but it won’t install on my 10.7 mac 🙁
I don’t know if any PC audio software will edit and save video files…
