How to resize video clip before creating multicam sequence?

I'm doing a two-camera multicam edit. One of the cameras was zoomed out too far during the shoot.

How do I simply re-scale that camera's original clip to 125% BEFORE creating my multicam sequence? When I double click on the original clip, and go to Effect Controls, there is no option to adjust the scale (or anything else).

There has to be a simple way to do this ... I just can't find it.

You need to access the nested sequence like someone mentioned. There you can change the shot scale even after you do your multicam edit. As long as you have not flattened it, you can make adjustments in the nested sequence and it will affect the multicam sequence. You can even cut a clip in the nested sequence and make different adjustments to it.

If you hold CTRL while double-clicking the Multicam Sequence, you can directly open it in the timeline.

Kind regards.

This is probably the part larry above referred to ...

Actually just figured this out.In your project window, right click on the "Multicam" thing that was created after you built your multicam sequence. Click "Open in Timeline". This basically brings up the nested sequence that was created. Then you can go to whichever clip and make the adjustments. Those are then reflected in your mutlicam sequence.Thanks

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

and if all that angle have the same file name, you can search for that file name in the timeline and select all the instances and apply the same motion preset to them all. I know I'm leaving a few stseps out, but I'm juggling a sandwich and the keyboard. If you need further details, post back...

Larry,

Why don't you create the Multicam Sequence, click into it and scale up the camera and then hop out of the Sequence again?

That isn't working for me. I double-clicked on the Multicam Sequence in the timeline. Then, I went into the Source Monitor, selected the camera angle I want to change, and changed the scale to 125%.

Problem is, that changes both camera angles to 125% -- not just the one I need to change.
