Nestig clips, that have been ultray-keyed (greenscreen)

Hello

I want to edit several clips from an interview (3 camera positions) as a nested sequence. This shouldn't be a problem.
BUT: I want to give all three clips a new, unique background before nesting them using Ultra Key (green screen).
Unfortunately, multi-camera doesn't work with clips that have already been edited with Ultra Key: Multi-camera no longer displays the nested clips (only as a black surface).

Do you have any suggestions on how I can achieve this workflow?

I was able to get the Ultrakey visible in multicam.

I opened the multicam in the timeline (right-click on multicam in Project panel and "Open in timeline').

I nested a clip, then stepped into that nest and applied the Ultrakey with a new BG below it. That new BG was visible when I loaded the Multicam into the source monitor in the 4-up/quad display.

Does this work for you?
