My beef with the nesting approach is that you can’t see all of your audio tracks. I’m used to being able to see “Lav1”, “Lav2”, etc and being able to strip out anything I don’t want. I just don’t even know what to do with one audio track for everything.

I’m dealing with this now as well, as CC’s built-in seems to go crazy about 15% of the time. (I have a two camera shoot, but it stacks clips together into a 4 camera or greater group sometimes, and it’s of course all from different shoots)
I’d love it if CC’s worked, as nesting/multicamming a sequence from PluralEyes seems to make a single track audio nest, vs getting to see all audio tracks when using CC’s sync functions.

I have just come across this post and was unable to find the option “Multicamera -> Enable” in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2
Is this now in a different menu? Thanks!
-
I believe that just changes the track name, like you can on the Timeline.
I more need to have PPro read the audio metadata itself, so I can rename the actual clips (vs a track).

“Hopefully the level of integration between the apps will continue to improve…I like the studio approach, and don’t want a bloated editing app that tries to do everything. “
Agreed – the integration is impressive, and if it gets even better, that would be fantastic. To be clear, Color seems amazing, and I expected to use STP for my final mix. (I try to have a dedicated computer/setup for mixing alone when possible)
I’m just used to, even in quick dirty mixes, to throw in a bus with a Compressor, Limiter, or Reverb plugin, etc. Then throw in the fancy EQ’ing, sound restoration, etc etc for the final mix. Maybe this is something that integration will make even easier in the future.
But I can’t stop myself from chiming in with a little Vegas fanboysim on the ‘not wanting a bloated app’ comment. On one level – absolutely. On the other, Vegas proves you can do advanced audio functionality and still be one lean piece of software. (I can run, in realtime, dozens of tracks of audio in Vegas with multiple submixes on my old Pentium 4 2ghz with 512MB of RAM! Vegas is, in my experience, one of the most lean and stable apps I’ve ever used)

Huh, well last night I played with Conform in STP, and now STP isn’t crashing anymore. Must have been a bad night for the system ;).
Thanks everyone for your input – Conform (under very basic testing) seems to work wonderfully! I have to say I’m pretty impressed – it’s not 100% as efficient as my Vegas workflow, but it is perhaps 90%, and certainly makes my project very doable now! I’m definitely liking using STP so far, and I feel more at home with the FCP suite now. It handles plugins so much better, for one thing.
-
Augh, it was crashing the first time I was playing with it two nights ago! I thought it was just my setup, but I will keep a watchful eye on it.
(Like I learned how ‘Send to Compressor’ is a no no for complicated projects)

Thanks as well for the quick reply, Jerry! I will play with Conform tonight after work.
It is nice to hear someone say nice things about Vegas – when I talk to people about it they scrunch their face and go “What’s that?”, haha.
But yes, my goal is to change the video after working in Soundtrack, so this Conform sounds promising. STP just handles plugins a lot better than FCP anyway, so I’m relieved that there may be hope for me after all!
-
Oh! Thanks Jeremy, I didn’t know about Conform. I’m guessing I can’t bounce back my work in Soundtrack Pro to FCP (which would be perfect, really), but at least I can instantly see my work in Soundtrack Pro without bouncing files around? That at least is more efficient.
I won’t be able to play around with it until later, but do I have the workflow about right? Thanks for the quick response, too!
Nope. You have to use Soundtrack Pro for this. You can copy/paste filters to different clips, but you will quickly see how annoying that is when you need to change something. You can nest audio tracks and apply a filter to this nest, but the same thing applies.[
Indeed – I was searching on the forums here, and the nesting was the closest I got. Just did not seem like a useful solution.

Jon,
Thanks for the well wishes, haha. I actually am waiting on the refresh on the Macbook Pro line for this very reason – working with clients who use FCP. I’m trying to wait it out until the new series comes out (which should be VERY soon), but if this continues to be an issue I’ll probably just have to buy the older generation (and then watch its resale value drop soon after).
In this case I’m just transcribing FCP sequences (with clip names/TC/etc), so I was hoping to get by with my older machine, but obviously that hasn’t worked out either. Time to borrow a Macbook Pro again and hope Apple refreshes the lineup soon!
