You can’t cut multicam on a firewire connection.

[Luke Mullen] “Interesting, I hadn’t thought of doing it that way. I tried it, and while it took longer to process the multiclip this way, it did give me a multiclip with all 5 channels like I wanted.”
When creating the multiclip in Ppro make sure to use the “Camera 1” option in the audio portion of the multicam setup dialog box. Ppro works great with double system audio as long as this choice is selected, the other choices, “All Cameras” and “Switch Audio” will be more difficult to work with in this situation.

From the article –
When classic FCP went EOL the Post Production department at RTS had the choice of going back to Avid, which was a prospect that no-one here was truly excited about, or we could adopt Final Cut Pro X. Premiere was out of the picture for various reasons.
So the evaluation was strictly Avid vs X, not Ppro vs X. I wonder what were those various reasons?

[Steve Connor] “I did quite a few projects on this version, rock solid edls and very easy to use.”
When I was buying my first NLE it was down to EMC vs D/Vision. At that time EMC was being bought up by some larger company, which I thought was a good thing, and I bought the EMC. Time has shown me that it is rarely if ever a good sign when a fully formed product is bought up by a larger company. When it was time to upgrade again I bought D/Vision Windows 3.0 just before it was bought by Discreet. Oh well.

[Scott Thomas] “Discrete Edit*
Wasn’t this EMC?”No, edit* was Discrete’s cutesy re-name for the windows version of D/Vision after they bought it. There was also an earlier DOS version of D/Vision as well.
You also left out the “Montage” which was one of the earliest, most widely available NLEs in use. it was not digital, it used banks of up to 17 betamax or laser disc copies of the same material to allow for instant access.

[Amy Young] “I’d like to use a graphics tablet to sketch notes (or to-do items like, “crop this here ->”) in the timeline, on separate layers from the clips/footage. (Similar to the way I might mark up a PDF with notes.)”
Lovely idea, you should send in a request to the Ppro team.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Or, do 8 million versions just to come back to what was close to a polished v1 two weeks later.”
That’s where the “zero frame trim” works it’s wonders.

[Oliver Peters] ” so it’s clearly a Premiere Pro design issue.”
Yes, this is a bad design choice. The idea that the lowest targeted track, as opposed to the highest, engages all the multicam features makes no sense whatsoever. Better than that of course would be to default to the highest track without needing to target it, the FCP Legacy method, UNLESS a lower track were targeted. This would give you the most intuitive response while also giving you a way to over ride for special needs.

[Simon Ubsdell] “For this reason, I’d hesitate to tell someone that they were “doing it wrong” even if that’s how it seemed to me.”
Complex issue.
In the past I have been told by a poster that my description of the work I was doing was not possible, simply because it was outside of his frame of reference.
On the other hand I worked for years with FCP legacy without knowing that I could set a timeline preference to unlink the video from the audio with the press of a button – I had been selecting all and using a global unlink command till then – Jeremy pointed out that there was a simpler way to do this and he was quite correct and I changed my workflow accordingly.
I once had a heated argument with an editor who claimed that specialized multicam features were not worth using because he could do it all by layering the angles and blade-ing between them. My argument being that there was not a single situation where this was actually faster and that he was doing his assistants a disservice by teaching them only his method.
My personal workflow is quite unique and while I teach it to my assistants I always acknowledge that I am marching to a beat quite outside the industry norms. I think my way is best, otherwise I wouldn’t pursue it, but I’m loath to tell others it will be best for them. I do think it’s always wise to show others a different way to skin the cat and then leave them free to choose, but in some instances, as with multicam editing, I will insist that some workflows are just down right inefficient.
You are correct that the subtleties of a given workflow can’t be comprehended without working within it, but sometimes editors come up with inefficient ways of working thru ignorance. I would suggest that presenting options is never a bad thing, as long as it’s done with some humility.
