Need advice regarding sync w/ video/audio editing a Multicam sequence for a music video.
Hi everyone,
I’m a newbie at Premiere and trying to edit a simple three camera shoot using Multicamera Editing in Premiere. I shot the video in 1080p 30fps. I’,m using Premiere Pro 2020
I recorded the song continuously, no stopping of the cameras from the beginning to the end of the song. If I made a mistake, I kept cameras rolling and did pickups on the beat thinking I could delete the wrong performances in a “cut and paste” fashion. For example, if I made a mistake, I mark the exact beginning of the mistake and go down to the beginning of the good take of that section. I always cut to a different camera at that edit to eliminate a jump in my body language while I’m playing.
I’ve been successful on many of the cuts but none are really seamless. I’m a studio engineer, so I know how to edit audio seamlessly. But since I’m working with video and 30 frames per second I find that I can’t move my video tight enough.
My questions are: Am I having a problem getting tight edits because I’m working with 30 frames per second and the increments of video aren’t tight enough for me to get seamless video transitions? Would shooting and working in 60fps make tighter edits?
Thanks for any advice.

Your issues have nothing to do with frame rate. Musicals have been cut at 24 fps for almost a century, silent films were beautifully cut at 18 fps.
There is a craft to cutting images that is different from the craft of cutting sound, and lack of experience and knowledge is your problem, not the frame rate.
