Premiere CC multicam not working and I followed Larry Jordan’s tutorial perfectly
Followed Larry Jordan’s tutorial to a tee (https://www.larryjordan.biz/premiere-pro-cc-multicam/), but am not able to edit multicam. I get all my cameras laid out in source monitor as they’re supposed to be, but in my program monitor after switching it to multicam I just get my program on the right side, and black on the left side, and I know it’s supposed to be what my source monitor has in it, all the angles. I can play the program, which does me no good. And I can play the source monitor and select angles by clicking on them, but all it does is give me a static preview image on the right side of my program monitor that updates only when I click a new angle. But all of this in the end does nothing to my edit, nothing changes. No edits are made to my multicam clip. I’ve successfully edited a couple multicam projects in Premiere CC before, as well as a million times in FCP 7 before jumping ship to Premiere. Ideas?

Pity you did not include the timeline.
Did you make a New Sequence from clip (right click on sequence (with the stacked clips) in Project Window and opened that on the timeline?———————————————–

Also getting this problem! Any work arounds?

Yes I’ve done everything correctly. I’m sure of this because I have now edited almost 10 multi cam events on Premiere CC 2014. I’ve just started a new project and tried creating a multicamera clip from just two cameras, and I then open the multcam clip in the timeline and insert a powerpoint presentation, once I’ve done that I drag the multicam clip into my project sequence and when I try to view “multi-camera” in the Program window it doesn’t give me the usual multi-camera view with all my angles on the left and the program on the right.

My current workaround is not editing multicam 🙁 I feel like I’m back on FCP 4 or whenever it was they didn’t have muticam.

Still having this problem. And it’s completely random. I thought I had the fix but then it turns out that it was just a one time stroke of luck. I deleted the non-working multicam sequence from my timeline and then grabbed it from the project folder and dropped it back in and wallah it worked. I’ve tried that on many since but without any success. Really annoying spending time syncing up 5 or 6 cameras and audio and then multi-cam just doesn’t work. I almost miss FCP telling me “your multicam sequence must contain assets with the same pixel dimensions and framerate”.

One thing now that I’ve tried that worked for me was I deleted the multicam sequence that didn’t want to work in the timeline, and then made a new one (shift clicked all files with the common in points and created multicam sequence for the second time, no different than the first time I did it). Drug that sequence into the timeline and wow it works for no reason. So depending on the mood Premiere is in when you create the multicam sequence it seems it may or may not work. This software seems so advanced it’s almost human.

HERES WHAT YOU DO:
1. Right click on the multicam sequence you created
2. select CREATE NEW SEQUENCE FROM CLIP. This will generate a new sequence based on your synched multicam source.
3 To cut between the two cameras click on one or the angle in your program monitor. Once you stop playback you will see the “CUTS” toggling back and forth. -
I noticed this problem only happens when you are outside V1. Stay in the first video track and you can always edit. Hope it helps 😉

Thank you, Francisco, that helped a lot! 😀
