To insert or overlay clips in a multi-camera sequence
You can make edits to a multi-camera sequence from the original four camera clips. For example, if one camera
recorded a presenter and another recorded a screen of presentation slides, you can intersperse shots of the presen-
tation slides. You can use this technique as an alternative to rerecording sections of the multi-camera sequence.
1
Double-click the multi-camera target sequence in the Timeline panel to open it in the Source Monitor.
Like the Multi-Camera Monitor, the Source Monitor displays footage previews of the original camera shots.
2
Click the display for the footage you want to add to the sequence. The active display has a yellow border.
3
Choose the clip source that you want to edit (video, audio, or both) and drag the clip to the Timeline panel, or use
the Insert or Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor.
Working in other applications
To edit a clip in its original application
The Edit Original command opens clips in their original application so that you can edit them and then automati-
cally incorporate those changes into the current project without quitting Adobe Premiere Pro or replacing files.
Exported Adobe Premiere Pro movies can also be embedded with information that allows them to be opened using
the Edit Original command that is in other applications, such as Adobe After Effects.
1
Select a clip in either the Project panel or Timeline panel.
2
Choose Edit > Edit Original.
To export a movie with the information to use the Edit Original command, in the Export Movie Settings dialog box,
choose Project from the Embedding Options menu. (See “Exporting video as a file” on page 378.)
