you click a camera preview to make it active and record footage from that camera. The active camera is indicated by a yellow border when in
playback mode and a red border when recording.
The Multi-Camera Monitor includes the standard playback and transport controls and keyboard shortcuts. The Play Around button plays
around the edit point in the preview display, including any preroll and postroll frames specified in General Preferences.
If the Multi-Camera Monitor displays the same frame in large previews on both the left and right side, the current clip is either not a multi-
camera clip or a multi-camera clip that is not enabled.
Display the Multi-Camera Monitor
Select the multi-camera target sequence in a Timeline panel, and then choose Multi-Camera Monitor from the Window menu.
To hide the recorded sequence preview and display only the camera previews, deselect Show Preview Monitor from the Multi-Camera
Monitor panel menu.
To resize the Multi-Camera Monitor, drag an edge or corner.
Add clips for multi-camera editing
You can use any type of media in a multi-camera editing session, including footage from various cameras and from still images. You assemble the
media into a sequence of up to four video and four audio tracks. You can add more than one clip to a track to accommodate the use of multiple
tapes in a camera.
After the clips are assembled, you synchronize them and then create and enable the target sequence.
1. Choose File > New > Sequence.
2. Place clips from each camera on a separate track. Use video and audio tracks 1–4. You can edit the clips as necessary.
Video and audio clips placed above track 4 will not be available for multi-camera editing.
Synchronize clips with markers
Make sure that you’ve marked the sync points for each camera’s footage before you attempt to synchronize them. You can mark the sync points
by setting similarly numbered markers for each clip or by reassigning each clip’s timecode. (See Add markers and
Set timecode manually for a
clip .)
Premiere Pro uses an overwrite edit when synchronizing clips. Take care not to overwrite adjacent clips if you have multiple clips on the
same track.
1. Select the clips you want to synchronize.
2. Target a track (by clicking its track header) to align the other clips to it.
For example, if you synchronize clips on their Out point, the end of each clip aligns with the Out point of the targeted track. A clip will be
trimmed if synchronization causes its In point to fall before the sequence zero point.
If one track of a linked audio/video pair is unselected, the pair will become out of sync. Out-of-sync indicators will appear on the clips.
3. Choose Clip > Synchronize, and then choose one of the following options:
Synchronizes clips at their In points.
Synchronizes clips at their Out points.
Synchronizes clips to the specified timecode. If you use the hours value in source timecode as a camera designator, select the
Ignore Hours option to use only minutes, seconds, and frames to synchronize clips.
Synchronizes clips to the specified numbered clip marker. Choose the marker number to use from the Marker
menu.
You can also use the Synchronize command to sync several video clips on separate tracks or unlinked audio and video tracks when you are
not editing a multi-camera sequence.
Create a multi-camera target sequence
1. Choose File > New > Sequence.
2. Drag the sequence containing the multi-camera clips into a video track of the new sequence. (See Nest sequences .)
