Overview
This guide shows you how to send stacked sync timelines in Premiere (also known as "dirty multi-cams") to Eddie and round trip them back to Premiere as multi-cam sequences, while maintaining your sync references.
Even though there is a workaround to import mc timelines, we strongly suggest you import mc clips (see here).
Why Use This Method?
This workflow is perfect when you:
Have multiple camera angles and external audio tracks
Don't want to create traditional multi-cam clips in your bin
Want to send multiple synced clips to Eddie simultaneously
Step-by-Step Instructions
Part 1: Preparing Your Timeline in Premiere
Set up your synced timeline
Arrange your camera angles on different video tracks
Place external audio on audio tracks
Stack all your synced clips as needed
Create in and out points
Select all clips in your timeline
Set in and out points for the section you want to send
Make a sub-sequence
With all clips selected, go to Sequence menu
Choose "Make Subsequence"
Convert to single-track sequence
Right-click the new sub-sequence in your bin
Select "New Sequence from Clip"
This "pancakes" all layers down to one V1 and one A1 track
Rename for clarity
Give your sequence a recognizable name (e.g., "Eddie_v2")
Part 2: Importing into Eddie
Open Eddie and create a new rough cut
Click Premiere Import (Do NOT enable multicam)
Navigate to your Premiere bin
Look for your renamed sequence (not multi-cam clips)
Select your sequence and click "Add"
Import the timeline
Click "Import"
Wait for Premiere to process and round trip
Part 3: Working with the Edit in Premiere
After exporting from Eddie back to Premiere:
Your edit maintains sync references
Click on any clip in the Eddie timeline
It will show you exactly where it pulled from your original synced timeline
Convert to multi-cam (optional)
Select all clips in your sequence
Go to Clip > Multi-camera > Enable
You can now switch between angles using the multi-cam interface
Pro Tip: Working with Selects
You can also use this workflow when "splicing" selects:
Mark your selects
Go through your timeline before sending to Eddie
Move clips you like to higher video tracks to make them stand out
Follow the same process
Create sub-sequence → New sequence from clip → Send to Eddie
Your selects maintain their sync reference when round-tripped
Benefits of This Workflow
Handles complex timelines: Works with multiple angles and external audio sources
Maintains sync: All sync relationships are preserved throughout the process
Batch processing: Send multiple synced clips to Eddie simultaneously
Flexibility: Can convert to multi-cam sequences after round-tripping
Reference tracking: Always know where your clips came from in the original timeline
