Common Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Likely fix |
|---|---|
| Angles drift out of sync | Check frame rates match; split and re-sync long clips |
| Stuttering playback | Use proxies or lower playback resolution |
| Missing audio | Check audio channel settings in the source sequence |
| Wrong angle names | Rename clips before creating the sequence |
| Can't add angles later | Open the source sequence and add tracks |
Speed Tips
- Map number keys to angles
- Cut a rough pass live, then refine
- Use markers for highlight moments
- Colour match angles in the source sequence
- Flatten only when the cut is final
Flattening and Nesting
Keep multicam
While still making changes.
Flatten
Converts to regular clips for finishing.
Turnover
Flattened timelines export more reliably.
For the basics, see step-by-step Premiere multicam, and for timecode-based sync, genlock and sync explained. Our earlier production and post guide covers handoffs.
