It is just not possible to beat the Lynda.com courses. The one I use for Premiere Pro is called:

Premiere Pro CC 2019 Essential Training: The Basics by Ashley Kennedy

The amazing thing is that the public library in my area offers access to Lynda.com to anyone who has a library card. That is what I do and the courses are updated as new versions of the software are released.

Good Luck!

Thanks Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to this problem for me.

In the end I solved it myself and what I learned was:

1. Put all your files through Media Encoder so they all have the same codec or it won’t work well or just not work at all, like in this case.

2. Apple ProRes 422 and the other ProRes codecs are my “go-to” codecs as they just work so well based on my experience.

Next time Mike and thanks again for your interest.

I managed to sort this problem out myself:

The Apple iPhone 8, Galaxy S9+ and the Zoom H1 had some different formats which prevented swapping and processing the audio and bringing a .mov and .mp4 file in to make a multi camera source sequence.

The solution was to bring the two video and one audio files into Adobe Media Encoder and render them all to Apple ProRes 422.

Everything worked perfectly when I imported these three files back into the Premiere Pro project panel. Highlighted all three files – right click to “create multi camera source sequence” – import sequenced file into timeline – edit video for camera 1 & camera 2.

It was easy when you know how – thanks Adobe for a fantastic program!

Replacing the audio on both clips before I tried the multi camera edit was the very first thing I did. That was easy and it worked great.

The problem was putting both those clips together to “create the multi camera source sequence”.

This seemed to work and it rendered a merged sequence that I thought would work but it didn’t. I couldn’t see or get the two videos to come up to view in the “merged multi camera view”. They come up in the “merged multi camera view” before I replace the sound from the phone with my Zoom H1 source sound. That process seems to negate the ability of these two files to then be used in multi camera view.

Why this happens I don’t know – perhaps because swapping the camera sound with the Zoom H1 sound produces a processed file that won’t work in the multi camera process?

I admit I am a beginner and this may be something very simple I have overlooked but I have spent hours trying to solve this problem and to no avail…

I would be very appreciative of any assistance?

Kindest regards,
Mike Whitehouse
