I’m having the exact same problem today. Did you ever get this resolved? How did you save your footage?

Thanks Shane! Exactly what I wanted to know!

Thanks for the replies. The reason I needed to render before my edit is because much of the footage is so dark that I needed to color correct and reduce noise in order to even be able to decide what is useable. Normally I would definitely wait to render until after editing.
I also do understand now about the top down ordering of rendering the timeline. I have now started rendering each track individually, which will allow me to finally start editing.
Thanks again for the replies… I learned something valuable through this process!

This is supposedly “normal” behavior in Premiere for multicam – I have talked with Adobe about this. When you stop it reverts to the first camera angle you started on. There is no way to override this. I have submitted a bug report, but they won’t consider this a bug, so it’s kind of pointless. This is a serious oversight by them that drives me crazy when trying to edit multicam, and is THE main reason (there were many others, but now it’s been narrowed down to this one) why I can’t do longform multicam edits in Premiere – I always end up going back to FCP7 in frustration.
It is possible to get through a multicam edit in Premiere, but it’s so annoying having to change the stupid angle every time you stop that it becomes like chinese water torture. It boggles my mind that this behavior is the only option available. Adobe, please fix this and give us the OPTION of reverting or staying on the current camera (which should be the default action anyway!!!)
It is REALLY annoying that this is the one remaining wall remaining between a final transition from FCP7 to Premiere on the Mac is complete for me, but it is a much bigger deal than one might think, especially when editing a 4 – 5 hour timeline.

David, your post was almost perfect, and yes, it worked for me! However there is a bit more info that will be helpful to anyone else going through this that I will share. First, once you have the project sequences in a Premiere Project, you’ll have to Send to Encore and they will show up as Project Sequences in Encore. However, they won’t have a timeline associated with them until you assign the sequence to a button in your menu. Then a timeline is created. Note that the timeline WILL NOT have markers. Once you have a timeline for your associated sequence, double click to open the timeline. Again, there won’t be any markers there yet.
Now, right-click or option-click the timeline clip itself – and one of the selections available to you will be “Update timeline with Premiere Project Markers?” and when you select it it will give a warning dialog that all existing markers will be deleted (not a problem, since there aren’t any there anyway yet!) Click OK, and presto- all the chapter markers from the Premiere Project Sequence associated with that timeline will appear!!

It’s really a combination of both techniques because a one-light won’t fix everything, but I never thought of actually color correcting the source clip in the nested multicam sequence – thanks for reminding me that I can do that! That might be an issue with individual clips on the timeline that I need to further adjust tho, which could be an effect applied to an already effected clip, which is probably not the best approach.

Will do, Tom, and thanks for suggesting!!

The problem with this is that the multicam clips created in the timeline are not individually represented in the bins or the project pane – so there is no finding them in the project pane or bins.
I’m beginning to think there isn’t a way to do this, and it’s horrible because I have a LOT of cuts over an hour’s worth of time and trying to go and select one camera out of four all along the timeline is tedious and time-consuming. No timeline search is really a bad oversight… ugh.

I have purchased Adobe CS5.5 Premiere Production suite. It has been both good and challenging so far. I was able to master a blu-ray project in Encore with great success. However, editing in Premiere was choppy/sluggish doing multicam editing, so after optimizing my system as much as I could, I ended up getting 8GB of extra RAM to bring the total on my Mac Pro to 20GB. I was really surprised at how resource hungry PP is, compared to FCP.
As I’m about to begin a large project now, I started out thinking I would edit entirely in Premiere but have since decided to use FCP instead for the sake of quickly getting it done… I think. I have until Monday to decide. I’ll play more with Premiere this weekend and see.

HAHA! I think I have crossed over. My son said it was kinda like Inception. Weird!!
