 | Multicam in PPro CS6

Getting used to the way PPro handles multicam, with the multicam monitor. One thing it keeps doing though, with my two camera recital shoot, is when I hit stop after a routine, it switches angles. I almost always end on the wide shot during applause, hit stop when it fades, and at that point it puts in an edit (not a big deal) and often, not always switches angles.. I don't get why?

I forgot to mention another anomaly (I think anyway). In the multicam monitor JKL quits working as soon as you have changed an angle. I'm still working in Snow Leopard, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Roel,
It shouldn't switch camera angles when you stop. I would say it's some kind of anomaly with your system. Maybe try trashing the preferences in Adobe to see if that helps out and/or see import the clips into a new project and see if the behavior persists.

This is supposedly "normal" behavior in Premiere for multicam - I have talked with Adobe about this. When you stop it reverts to the first camera angle you started on. There is no way to override this. I have submitted a bug report, but they won't consider this a bug, so it's kind of pointless. This is a serious oversight by them that drives me crazy when trying to edit multicam, and is THE main reason (there were many others, but now it's been narrowed down to this one) why I can't do longform multicam edits in Premiere - I always end up going back to FCP7 in frustration.
It is possible to get through a multicam edit in Premiere, but it's so annoying having to change the stupid angle every time you stop that it becomes like chinese water torture. It boggles my mind that this behavior is the only option available. Adobe, please fix this and give us the OPTION of reverting or staying on the current camera (which should be the default action anyway!!!)
It is REALLY annoying that this is the one remaining wall remaining between a final transition from FCP7 to Premiere on the Mac is complete for me, but it is a much bigger deal than one might think, especially when editing a 4 - 5 hour timeline.

Bill, I agree, this is very frustrating for me as well, and definitely should be considered a bug. I don't understand why it would be the default to switch back to the original angle when stopping. I will submit a bug report as well. Maybe if they hear from enough people, this will be fixed in future versions.
