Are you mapping to a windows drive letter or are you mapping via url (\\mycomputer\videoshare\).
If it’s to a drive letter, I would think it should work as just that, a drive letter…and as long as everyone uses the same drive letters, no problem. If not, I wonder if it is a Media Browser issue.

New pen tool with tracking will work wonders with that clip. Use the levels adjustment on the foreground.

It can be limited by the “Editing mode” and the number and type of audio channels supported by the codec/format.

Two options
1) Shoot on the green screen and garbage mask out the non-green screen areas.
2) Shoot the backdrop with no one in front for a few seconds. Now record the talent portion. Freeze and flip the empty shot and line up with the edges to cover the garbage area. Mask the edge and feather it to cover up the transition.
Personally, I prefer the #1 option.

You can also import the comp into premiere, select it in the bin, and replace the original from the new Bin clip.

Camtaisa is also available on Mac and I’ve had good luck with it.

What kind of drive is it? If it is an external drive in an enclosure, sometimes the enclosure fails and you can pull the drive and hook it up to a USB adapter to it will still work. In a few cases with a clicking or dead drive, I put the drive in the freezer and it worked long enough to get my files. The drive will usually work until it warms back up, but I’ve wrapped in ice packs and even ziplocked and dunked in cold water. If it’s “dead”, you don’t have much to lose trying.
If you do manage to get it working, pull your project file first. You don’t know how long it will last.

Are you audio tracks separate from your multicam? If not, I multicam the video but leave the audio tracks separate so that I can adjust the levels.
As for handling multiple tracks of audio, I basically ride the levels on each track, up while talking…down while not.

Try converting your file into something more efficient for the edit system like ProRes or just MPEG2HD. H.264 takes quite a bit of processing power to uncompressed. 20 clips is also quite a bit to load at once. Try starting with a few and then adding more in 1 by 1 to see what the threshold is.

I wouldn’t say more unreliable, just some existing issues have stuck around (audio dropping while playing, video patching quirks). I wouldn’t say that I’ve noticed any new issues and the new features help to offset some of the existing features.
My bigger gripe is when they do actually fix something with a new release but don’t mention it. Suddenly I’m finding a different work-flow (good and bad), or a work-around no longer works because the root issue was resolved.
