Premiere Pro 2.0 Multicam edit question
Hi, I’m pretty new to Premiere Pro, but I’ve managed to do some editing with 2 video sources. Each video source is about an hour & 1/2 long, but I’m trying to work with 30 minute splits I’ve made hoping to use the multicam feature. I’ve had to make edits to sync them, deleting 5-10 minutes of video for one source. My problem is getting to the multicam editor with my edits intact. As far as I know, I can’t drag cuts in a timeline from one sequence to another and just dragging the source files to the sequence forgets my edits. The only way to use multicam I can think of is exporting my edited videos and importing them back. Is there a faster way to accomplish multicam with edited sources?

If I understand you correctly, do this:
1) Suppose your edited footage is in sequence A
2) You want to move that to a new sequence (assumption)
3) File > New > Sequence (call this sequence B)
4) Drag Sequence A from the project window into Sequence BDoes that work?

Speaking to the first part of the initial question, you can drag edited clips intact from one sequence to another, I just did it yesterday. I’d never tried it before that.
In the destination project, import the source project. In the project window, you should now see the source project in a file folder. Open that folder and double click on the sequence. It will open up as a new tab on the timeline. You can copy and paste from one tabbed sequence to a second sequence. When I did that, it copied the files as they appeared on the source timeline, transitions and all.
You have to keep the source file folder in your project window after you import, at least the ones that are now on your new timeline. If I remember correctly though, you can now delete the second sequence once you’ve pasted what you need.
Hopefully I said that in a way that makes sense. If parts of it are blurry, it’s only because I am on occasion (blurry that is.)

Yes, both of your solutions work! Ron really hit it on the head though. Thanks guys.
