Premiere Pro CC Multicam Question

[Lukas]

So, I am editing a music video at the moment. The idea is pretty straight forward: The band went on tour recently and filmed every concert they had with multiple cameras. If you combine all concerts and all cameras, you get 26 clips total. The music video shall be a mash up of all these 26 clips (where they perform the same song).

My first try was to just sync all clips and put them in a timeline, giving each their own video track. Well...with 26 tracks to choose from you really dont have that much oversight of what is happening and what scene to choose, as you have to toggle the output of the ones above the clip you´d like to watch.

My next idea was to sync all of them up in a multicam sequence. Done. But upon playback...well...let´s not call it playback, but more of a slideshow. I have all clips as ProRes Proxys and already dropped the playback resolution to a quarter, but still...(and yes, I have a pretty beefy machine).

So...does anyone of you have a good idea on what I could do to work as effectively as possible?

 

Thanks a bunch in advance!
