Program Monitor of Multicam only shows one camera!

Hey there,

I'm working on a project with multiple footages (music video) and since the beginning I've been doing the step-by-step default scheme to be sure that I won't have issues with this project.
I've created a multicam sequence and made all the cuts i wanted: check!
Now, i'm beginning to color correct each of the footages that are inside of this multicam sequence.
BUT whenever I color correct it, when I get back to my main sequence, the Program Monitor only shows one camera (the camera that was choosen for the particulary cut) and not all the cams that I have.
When I go to the wrench icon to check the Multi-camera status, it shows a small circle, instead of checked or not.
This keeps happenning, all the time.
Any valuable and pertinent inputs here will be greatly appreciated.

Make sure the track containing your multicam sequence is targeted in the timeline. If it isn’t, the Program Monitor will only display a single camera angle instead of the full multicam view.

Also, note that in the Program Monitor settings (accessible via the wrench icon), the Multi-Camera option is indicated by a dark circle rather than a checkmark—this is normal behavior.

If the issue persists, could you share screenshots of both your multicam sequence and the main timeline when the problem occurs? That will help in diagnosing further.

Hey Kevin,
Yes, this issue happened a couple times in previous projects with different (older) Premiere versions.
I'm running Premiere Pro 25.1.0 at the moment.

In this project I'm using 9 footages inside Multicam sequence. Thankfully I was able to make the most important cuts before the issue begin.
I managed to revert the situation (get back to multiple cams in the Program Monitor), each time doing something different (right-click in a multicam clip and unchecking and checking 'Enabled'), or sometimes I had to click twice in a multicam clip so it opened the multicams in the source window - then the multicam view returned to Program Monitor.

The thing is I am very confident that my workflow is solid on this project, it is pretty neat, everything in its right place.
One detail worth mentioning is that I've created the multicam sequence from my timeline (inside a sequence), creating a nest with all the footages and then enabling Multicam on this nested sequence) and not in the Project Panel (with the raw footage). This is because I had already synced all the footages to the main WAV track (the song) in my sequence.
I truly prefer to do it manually than letting Premiere do it (if it was made via Project Panel with syncing options).
Anyway, after I created the multicam sequence within this method (via timeline), it worked properly for a while.

But honestly it bugs me a lot dealing with this issue and it would be great to have some light shed on it.
