Editing Multicam - 4K footage in 1080 sequence (getting Preview Monitor to match)
I'm just entering the wonderful world of 4K video and working on my first 2-cam mulitcam edit.
As the final product is going to be 1080, I'm editing it in a 1080 sequence (shot 4K because it gives me the flexibility of adjusting the scale to tighten the closeup a touch and the full-stage wide shot as much as looks good as I need a full stage static archive and edited scenes).
Having a bit of a problem and not sure how or where to fix it.
I've created Multi-cam source sequence without a problem. Put it in a 1080 sequence and set it to Frame Size. Scale is 50. So have room to 'grow'
Problem I'm having is that in trying to edit the sequence, the Multi-Camera View panel shows the current 'choice' perfectly, but the two thumbnails of the 'source' footage are not the full image - it's the 4K with a 1080 'chunk' taken out of the center, which makes it hard to edit as I can't easily tell what I'm looking at, when an actor goes out of closeup camera and I need to switch to long shot, etc.
I've tried opening the source multicam clip into a timeline and changing that sequence to 1080, and while that makes the preview images uniform and correct in the Multi-camera View Panel, the scale is 100 so it defeats the whole 'shoot in 4k/edit in 1080 for flexibility' thing.
I'm guessing (hoping?) there's something obvious setting wise or nesting wise or something that is eluding me at the moment, and that someone will have the answer and make me go 'duh!'
