Short answer

Stack your synchronized camera angles on separate video tracks, give each angle a shot length, choose sequential or random switching, and press GO in Edimatic. It cuts the entire edit range into a live-switched multicam edit in seconds, with every alternate angle still available. Premiere's own multicam mode makes switching easier; Edimatic makes it automatic.

The problem

Switching a 90-minute program takes more than 90 minutes.

Long multicam programs want coverage with a natural rhythm, not a hand-crafted cut on every line. Switching them by hand takes longer than the event itself. Edimatic follows the timing rules you set so you can spend your time on the parts of the edit that need you.

How it works

Set it. Forget it.

01 / STACK

Cameras on tracks.

Sync your angles (Premiere's Synchronize, or Timebomb for timecode and timestamp placement). One angle per video track with continuous coverage. Titles and overlays stay outside the stack.

02 / OPEN

Launch Edimatic.

Window → Extensions → Edimatic. It reads your open sequence and lists the video tracks.

03 / TIME

Duration per angle.

V1 Wide 6s, V2 Close 4s, V3 Side 3s, V4 Crowd 2s. Longer durations give an angle more screen time.

04 / VARY

Add variation.

Plus or minus variance (4s ±1s gives shots between 3 and 5 seconds) so the rhythm never feels mechanical. Favor priority angles so they appear more often.

05 / STYLE

Sequential or random.

Sequential walks through the cameras in order. Random shuffles the order and never picks the same angle twice in a row.

06 / AUDIO

Decide about sound.

Leave audio untouched, or switch matching audio tracks with their cameras: V1 → A1, V2 → A2.

07 / GO

Press GO.

Edimatic creates a sequence copy and enables one camera at a time across the whole range. Existing cuts can be factored into the pacing.

08 / ADJUST

Change anything.

Every cut is a clip enable/disable in the copy. Swap an angle, extend a shot or delete a cut exactly as you would in a manual edit.

Built for

Anything long, live and multi-angle.

Concerts and recitals

Wide, stage, close, crowd. Favor the close-up, let the crowd cam appear for two seconds at a time.

Talks and presentations

Speaker, slides, room. Longer holds on the speaker, quick cutaways to the deck.

Ceremonies and services

Coverage that stays respectful and steady. Sequential mode with longer durations.

Sports and events

Fast random switching with short durations for energy, then hand-fix the moments that matter.

Alternative

Conversations? Use Video Follows Audio.

Edimatic is timing-based on purpose, which makes it predictable for performances and events. When the camera should follow whoever is speaking, use Video Follows Audio, which cuts on isolated microphone tracks. Many editors run Video Follows Audio on the talking segments and Edimatic on the music and B-roll sections of the same program.

FAQ

Questions editors ask first.

Does Edimatic analyze who is speaking?

No. It switches on the shot lengths and switching rules you set. For speaker-driven switching use Video Follows Audio.

Is the edit destructive?

No. Edimatic creates a copy of your sequence and switches angles by enabling and disabling clips. The original is untouched and every alternate angle stays available.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac running Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 (tested in Premiere 26.3.2), at least two synchronized camera tracks with continuous coverage. No additional apps.

Does it handle audio?

Yes. Leave audio untouched, or switch matching audio tracks along with their cameras. Existing cuts can be factored into the pacing.
