In OSX it’s the command key plus the number of the angle. So Command + 2 changes the clip to the 2nd angle of the multicam. If you hit the number alone, without the command modifier, it makes a cut to that angle at the cursor position. This can all be modified with Keyboard shortcuts.

I don’t have your issue and I’m just giving you my best practices, based on cutting nothing BuT multicam on Ppro for the past 10 years.

I’m guessing that setting the “default media scaling = set to frame” option is causing your scaling issues. Thats why in general preferences, I set “default media scaling = none” and then manually scale the 4K’s to…

My best practice with mixed ( HD + 4K ) multicam sources for use in final HD timeline:

Create HD multicams and then manually re-set the 4K clips to 50% in the multicam sources. This does not take long, even with dozens of multicams. Do not use auto resizing in the multicams. This way everything will appear full frame, both in the source and…

Hit the wrench icon on the top left of any Ppro timeline and enable “show thru edits.”

As always, yes to everything Walter said; however my 30 minute Broadcast timelines are loaded down with effects, almost every shot with at least a lumetri color grade, many with Warp Stabilizers, transforms, blurs, Samurai sharpening and Mocha Pro effects and most of the time the timelines render to either mp4 or ProRes in one pass, no issues.…

If you had to scale your clip down to 50% to make the full frame fit in the 1080 timeline, then scaling it back up will use all of the 4K information.

If it were my decision, I would have migrated to Resolve by now. Unfortunately my client is Adobe based and I’m stuck with an erratic platform that is all about adding new wiz bang features without optimizing or just fixing the current features. When they start going backwards and removing essential features it does get to be a bit much. That they…

I’m finding 23.4 to be one of the buggiest updates so far and I’ve been with Ppro since 5.5 . Along with crashes during all sorts of timeline movements and during exporting, I’ve just discovered that “clip properties”, which uses the “shift-G” shortcut, has greyed out the ability of adjusting the timecode. Which is doubly painful considering an…

Kevin –

I use Ppro multicam all the time and do not have this problem, so there definitely should be a fix for you.

Questions:

1) Does this happen on Video 1 as well? What about other video tracks ?

2) Is this happening only with Lumetri or whenever you do anything with the effects panel ?

3) How did you create the multicam sequence – using Ppro’s…

Cine X has an exact solution for this, I use it all the time. It’s amazing.

The effect is done by stabilizing a clip with the focus of stabilization on the face. Mocha is the best stabilizer I know of for this. You might get lucky with Warp Stabilizer in PPro – try using “No Motion” and stabilize on “Position” or “Position and Rotation” – but your best bet is Mocha.

Here’s a Mocha Stabilization tutorial, the effect you…

There is no direct way to do this. There is a wacky work around that you can find on YouTube:

There is also a hardware controller, Monogram Creative Console, that has a shortcut key that works for this in Premiere ( I use it.)

To monitor LKFS you need to use the Loudness Radar or if you are up to date with the latest Pro version, the Loudness Meter. To use either you need to open the Audio Track Mixer:

Go To “Window”

Choose “Audio Track Mixer”

With the mixer open , right under the label “Audio Track Mixer: “at the very top left of the mixer panel there is a tiny scroll…

No matter what the format of your audio, MP4, MXF,WAV etc, if the audio sounds good in one timeline, it should sound good in any timeline, include Multicam timelines — which are a special type of nested timeline. You can, of course, flatten the Multicam audio clip once it’s edited into another timeline, and then your original, non-fuzzy, audio…

5.5 million downloads, maybe, but 5.5 million users ?? This is what happens with free software, you get a download to user ratio that can run to 100 -1 or greater. I downloaded lightworks to fool around with several years ago but I’ve never used it, so I qualify as a “user.”

Try creating a new blank project and then with that project still open, open the project you want to work on. I’ve had to do this ever since PP 15 released. If this works, then save the blank project and always open it first whenever you want to re-open PPro.

Nest the clip with the speed change.

Interesting to hear how your adapting Bill, plus I haven’t seen the verb “to grok” used in this millennium and I thought it very sweet.

Couldn’t agree more. Whenever someone is hyping a Podcast I ask them “but where are the pictures?”

If the clips you are copying key frames between are different lengths the normal “paste” technique will by default scale them, this can lengthen effects when going to longer clips and also shorten them when going to shorter clips. If you want to keep the exact timing, when the “Paste Attributes” window comes up, deselect the checkbox in the upper…

Also, there is no noise with the OWC and I’m using Samsung SSDs.

I’ve been using the OWC for months and it’s exactly as advertised. The Sonnet is 16 lanes and twice as fast but needs a full lane slot. It’s a win win situation, either choice will make you happy.

First of all I should tell you that I use multicam for almost all my broadcast work, typically 5 cameras, prores codecs, and have no problems using warp stabilizer on multicam sources. So now lets try and figure out where your issue lies.

“Warp Stabilizer requires pixel aspect ratio to match sequence (fix by nesting)”. – This error message ind…

“Does rendering an Mpeg-2 both automatically and drastically reduce the quality or is it the scaling down from 1080p to 480p, or both?”

Both. It’s not just the size reduction alone, NTSC (480) is interlaced, which further degrades the look.

“Is there something I can do in the advanced settings to improve the quality?”

I doubt it.

“Would using Adobe…

Adobe Premiere Pro will.

You can pick any transition and make it the “Default transition.” You can then define a default length that will be used whenever applied. Then select the clips you want to apply to, hit Shift-D and it’s done. Works for audio transitions as well.

So the consensus is that I wasn’t stupid before, but I am stupid now for starting this thread.

I guess that answers my question with a resounding – “very.”

OK, just checking.

[Brett Sherman] “Compression is really just altering the gain dependent on the level coming in.”

I thought compression altered the gain but only beyond a threshold point, whereas riding level alters the gain throughout the signal. Which is why compression can raise the noise floor when the peaks are brought back up but level riding maintains the… Read more
