  • Setting up multiple program monitors

    Posted by Igor Harmendani on August 13, 2013 at 1:43 pm

    Hello everyone

    I’m editing a project that was filmed with two cameras, I put camera 1 to layer 1 and camera 2 to layer 2.

    But it’s quite annoying to hide the top layer everytime I want to see the layer below, that contais the first camera.

    So, is it possible to set two program windows, each one for each layer, and still get previews at real time?

    DVE one camera (pip)or both for side by side monitors.

    Thanks for the reply, Paul.

    Your sugestion was a good idea, but is there a way to do it without nesting sequences or applying effects?

    CS5/5.5/6 use the Muli-Camera Monitor, which has a track selector. I’m not sure if it’s still available in the new CC release. The following thread provides more information:

    Where is the Multicam Monitor in Premiere Pro CC?

    But does multi-camera requires nesting?

    No, nesting is not required. As per the setup described in your initial post, use the Multi-Camera Monitor to see Track 1 while the Program Monitor displays Track 2.

    How do you get only one video in multi-camera monitor? Mine looks like this:

    Go to the settings menu in the upper right corner of the Multi-Camera panel and disable “Show Preview Monitor.”

    That solved it! Thanks, Ivan!

    And one last question, can I preview both layers, real-time, simultaneously? I can only get the program monitor to work when I play the timeline.
