Tip #385: Build Multicam Clips Faster

Selection order makes all the difference.

If you need to assemble clips with different frame sizes, frame rates or codecs into the same multicam clip into Adobe Premiere Pro CC, here’s a fast way to create a multicam clip with exactly the format you need.

The secret?

When creating a multicam clip, the first clip you select in the Project panel will be the settings that Premiere uses to build a multicam clip.

So if you want to create a 4k multicam clip containing both 4K and 1080p HD media, be sure to select the 4K clip first.

Then, choose Clip > Create Multicam Source Sequence.

Done. All settings are configured automatically, based on that first clip.
