Editing individual clips AFTER placing in a Multi-camera sequence

Hopefully some Premiere wizard can help me with this!

Is it possible to individually edit source clips AFTER they're placed within a multi-camera sequence? ---Specifically, key out a green screen with ultra key, apply crops and adjust color with Lumetri. 

When I try to edit just one of the two clips (the active window), the edits are global and apply to both clips, which I don't want.

I have an interview of a talking head from two angles and green screen. I'd like to key out the green screen so the two angles use the same background on the timeline just below the multi-clip. I did this same thing a month ago and it worked great — but I didn't use green screen then, but had the background integrated into the footage.

The only thing I can think of is to do all the work on each clip (key out background, crop and edit color), export it and bring it back in as a flattened clip with proper color and background and make a multi-cam sequence from that. But it's a LOT of extra work and a clunky workflow.

Thanks for any help out there!

From the bin, right click the Source sequence and select Open in Timeline.  This will give you direct access to the original clips.

    Thanks for the response Jim.

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but when I do that, I don't get the Open in Timeline option. See attached. I assume it's a simple fix as you suggest, but it's eluding me.

    Thanks for any more guidance on this.

    Actually, I see what happened. I misunderstood you. I clicked on the specific source footage, not the multicam sequence. I now see the Open in Timeline option and it does indeed open up the sequence to make the individual clips editable.

    THANK YOU very much for your time!
