How do you create a multicam clip from multiple camera sources?

• A. Import synchronized clips, select them, Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence (set sync options such as Timecode, Audio, or Markers), then enable Multi-Camera view on the Program Monitor and cut between angles.
• B. Create a new sequence and drag all clips into it; Premiere will automatically generate a multicam clip.
• C. Use the Stabilize feature to merge angles into a single clip.
• D. Export the clips as separate files and re-import them as a single multicam clip.

Answer: (A)

Multicam editing relies on lining up all camera angles so they play in sync, then switching between them in one timeline. To do this, select the clips from your different cameras and use Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence, choosing a sync method such as Timecode, Audio, or Markers. Premiere Pro creates a single source sequence that contains all angles in synchronized order. Then enable Multi-Camera view in the Program Monitor to see the angles side by side and cut between them as you play back. This creates a reusable multi-angle clip you can edit in your timeline, or nest it into another sequence for your final cut. Dragging clips into a new sequence won’t automatically generate a multicam setup, since they wouldn’t be synchronized or arranged for angle switching. The Stabilize feature won’t merge angles into a single multicam clip, and exporting and re-importing clips won’t establish the synchronized, multi-angle editing workflow.
