Steps to reproduce:
    1. In the 24.5 Beta if I have "Transmit Multicam View" enabled and move a multicam clip from V1 to V2 (or higher), the Multicam View is disabled and reverts to a single camera view at a reduced quality.

 

Result: Only seeing 1 camera at reduced quality
Expected: See multicam view with all cameras visable
 
System info
    Application: Premiere Pro (Beta) v24.5.0.48
    OS: macOS v14.0.0, RAM: 64.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 24

Thanks Ben!  I'll keep this in mind moving forward.

@a_leven This is (unfortunately) how Multi-Cam was designed, and is working correctly.  Your Multi-Cam view will always respect the lowest targeted video track.  So, if you move your Multi-Cam clip from V1 to V2 in your timeline, you'll also need to make sure that your V1 track target is off, and your V2 track target is on. 

By that same token, in the sequence pictured below, when the playhead is over the first clip on V1, you will not see the Multi-Cam grid view for the clip on V1, since the V1 track target is not active; you will instead see the selected angle on V1 full screen in place of the grid view.  As the playhead moves to the second clip on V2, you will see the Multi-cam grid view for the clip on V2, since theV2 track target is active.

 

If you were to then turn on your V1 track target, when the playhead was over the first clip on V1, you would now see the Multi-Cam grid view for the clip on V1.  But as the playhead moved over the clip on V2, you would continue to see the Multi-Cam source angles for the clip on V1 in the grid view, since the V1 track target is active.

 

 

We do have a setting caleld Multi-Camera Selection Top Down in the Program Monitor Settings Menu (wrench), that changes this behavior just slightly.  When enabled, Multi-Cam view will respect the topmost activated track target, instead of the bottommost activated track target.

 

But... nonetheless... Multi-Cam view is activated by active track targeting, not by whichever Multi-Cam is currently the visible one under the playhead.

It's something we'd love to have the opportunity to change one day...

I'm working in Premiere 24.4.1 and "Transmit MultiCamera View" Does not work at all.  It continues to transmit only the selected camera even though my source panel is showing MultiCam view.  I have tried transmitting to two different monitors, neither works.  If I open a 2023 PrProj it does work.  I have tried re-assigning keyboard shortcuts, this doesn't help.
