Tutorial: Multicamera Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Adobe Premiere Pro Instructor extraordinaire Luisa Winters explains how to use the new and enhanced Multi-Camera Monitor for quick and efficient multicam edits in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 in this video and text tutorial.
Dealing with Individual Camera Issues
During the edit I noticed that one of the cameras was totally out of focus, so I'm going to delete it. To do so, I go back to the original sequence and look for that camera. In this case, it was Camera 5. So all I have to do is select it in the Timeline and delete it.
If I scrub through the Timeline with the playhead, a black screen appears in the Program Monitor shown in Figure 23 (below), showing that one of the edits I made used the camera that I deleted.
Figure 23. A black screen in the Program Monitor shows the gap where I used the deleted camera source in the edit.
To fix this issue, all I have to do is click on another camera and Premiere Pro makes the change automatically (Figure 24, below).

So, as you can see, with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 I can replace cameras after the fact if I want to; I can use the Rolling Edit tool to further edit this Timeline; and, of course, like I just did, I can delete the out-of-focus camera even after I have done the editing. I can also perform color correction. For that I go back to the multiclip timeline and add color correcting effects to my clip.
And there you go: multi-camera editing using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
